ALF Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 Putin plans to 'starve much of the developing world,' Yale historian says Putin could generate a wave of refugees into the EU Russian President Vladimir Putin is planning to force the West to end its sanctions by causing a widespread famine, Yale historian Timothy Snyder argues. Snyder, a Levin professor of history at Yale University, pointed to Russia's ongoing blockade of Ukrainian grain, which shows no signs of stopping. Ukraine is a major global producer of grain, supplying mainly Middle Eastern and Asian countries. Snyder argues that Putin's plan is not only to destabilize Ukraine by cutting off exports but also destabilize the European Union by generating "refugees from North Africa and the Middle East, areas usually fed by Ukraine." https://www.foxnews.com/world/putin-starve-world-ukraine-grain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why should Americans work and pay taxes that go to the defense of Europe when people in countries like France take the month of August off and the entire country more or less shuts down for "vacation". I say let them work the extra 4 weeks, generate some GDP, pay taxes and fund their own defense, and give us, American workers, the month of August off.

Doc Posted June 12, 2022 Share Posted June 12, 2022 You're a moron, or a lib, if you think that Trump wanted to get rid of NATO. No he knew they all needed the US and a threat to pull us out was all that would suffice to get them to pony up more money. And it worked. Again, not that NATO has anything at all to do with Ukraine (other than Biden's refusal to say Ukraine wouldn't be admitted to it would have prevented war).

It really doesn't concern you that the last time Europe got its economic and military ***** together, European countries conquered 80% of the world in about 200 years? That just *maybe* it's ok for them to freeload a bit on our dime so they *don't* reform, remilitarize and produce a new superpower for us to worry about?

Keep out Nato partners fat and happy so THEY don't rise up and take over the world? I mean, I can see if you used the excuse that we want to keep them as a buffer between us and China/Russia, but your theory doesn't hold any water for me.

Portugal, Spain, Britian, Germany, France, and so on have had their turns through history. And I don't see the EU or the Euro zone surviving the economic downturn and chaos that's in progress worldwide. It might split into some North/South have and have-nots situation or dissolve altogether. I expect it starts with Germans growing tired of subsidizing the southern European social welfare states as they demand more and more support as things get worse and then unwinds from there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALF Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 (edited) An oligarch close to the Kremlin was recorded on a tape saying the president is ‘very ill with blood cancer.’ Is this true, idle speculation or disinformation designed to make an erratic and paranoid dictator vulnerable? Boris Karpichkov, a KGB defector to Britain (and formerly an officer of the Second Chief Directorate, specializing in counterintelligence) thinks his fellow sexagenarian ex-spy suffers from Parkinson’s disease, along with “numerous” other maladies including dementia. “He is — or at least acts — insane and obsessed by paranoia ideas,” Karpichkov told Rupert Murdoch’s Sun newspaper, comparing Putin in this respect to Stalin, who was the victim of at least one stroke. A Telegram channel called “General SVR” and purportedly helmed by a former officer from Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service has stated that Putin is set to undergo surgery for an unspecified form of cancer in the near future and that while he’s on the operating table, his temporary replacement will be the grim Nikolai Patrushev, the secretary of Russia’s National Security Council, a fellow ex-KGB man and longtime director of one of its successor agencies. Patrushev, as New Lines has documented, is also one of the most hawkish ideologues of the regime. Spreading rumors of his declining health could also preempt something more catastrophic such as an order to launch a nuclear weapon, which is less likely to be carried out by military commanders on behalf of a terminally ill despot. https://newlinesmag.com/reportage/is-putin-sick-or-are-we-meant-to-think-he-is/ Putin’s right-hand man Nikolai Patrushev is more barbaric than his master Patrushev is the most influential person in the Kremlin bureaucracy and is the only person Putin trusts — to the extent he trusts anyone. The two share more than a strong professional relationship. They are friends. https://nypost.com/2022/05/07/nikolai-patrushev-putins-right-hand-man-is-even-more-barbaric/ Edited June 13, 2022 by ALF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
