The Cub Scout follows Akela.
The Cub Scout helps the pack go.
The pack helps the Cub Scout grow.
The Cub Scout gives goodwill.

Hmm... don't see hatred and training to kill people in there. Must be unique to PA Cub Scouts.

So what you would like to deny as usual, isn't working, because anyone can hear what slogans they are screaming, these "cub scouts."

We also put the US petrodollar at risk, without it our currency isn’t backed by anything real, on top of that we’re sitting on over $30 trillion in debt.
Indeed. Venezuela, Syria, NK, Cuba, Iran etc. Sanctions have not achieved what was expected.

I read something about the dollar today, don't remember where it was, it was about SDRs (special drawing rights) replacing the dollar.
Not to mention countries switching to other, national currencies now.

What is anonymous about posting under your real name?!
He lives in Russia, so naturally he runs his blog from where he lives.
His blog is perfectly fine. The fact that he is not engaging in anti-Russian propaganda does not mean that what he writes is wrong. Far from it.

He probably knows more than we do because he is fluent in Russian and currently he is visiting Ukraine and reporting from there.

i see nothing that is listed by you, that is incompatible with anything listed by me (actually I didnt list it, you did, but lets run with that) or mutually exclusive.


A scout should always be prepared. Hey, that would make for a great motto!

Oil contracts are clear about what currency will be used to pay for oil.
The dollar.
The Euro.
It's right in the contract.

I feel pretty confident that a look back will show us that the sanctions against Russia will have accomplished nothing but hurt Russians who had nothing to do with the decision to invade Ukraine. I hope that I am wrong and they were worthwhile. Maybe a benefit that we wont see if it prevents a future action like this from another country. I dont know. It saddens me that so many have to suffer and that it was probably for nothing.

How hard would it be to false flag something like this to justify a chemical retaliation though.

Yes, either side, for you ruskies.

I wonder what people's definition of neo-nazi is here. Do they self identify as neo-nazi?

This video they present as Nationalists. Training to fight the Rebel Separatists who, obviously, employ violent tactics. Maybe there are other vids of kids saying they're neo-nazis, I dunno. I doubt they'd use the term Nazi on a NBC video.

I gathered there is a region in Ukraine, plagued by violent Russian separatists and a group of civilians training themselves to combat that threat since they mention the Ukrainian military proper is short on soldiers.

Having a pro-russian political party trying to sway things in a room is different from having dudes run around shooting the place up.

Still, who started what first, it should still be a Ukranian problem, and Not invoke a foreign Country to invade.
