1kiki, you're no different than Signym. Every time truthful bad news is published about Putin or Trump, your response is the equivalent of saying the truth is "fake news". You can handle the bad news about Signym the same way by saying it is "fake news". You have used that stupid trick thousands of times to serve Putin and Trump. Use it a few times to serve Signym and yourself.

Signym just now used the words "fake news".

I could check Signym's statement for accuracy. It is not accurate and is getting pretty close to an outright lie:

Zelenskiy said he did not consider the situation more tense than before. “There is a feeling abroad that there is war here. That’s not the case,” he said. “I am not saying an escalation is not possible … but we don’t need this panic.”

Europeans have taken a more cautious approach to predictions of a Russian attack than Washington. The head of Germany’s foreign intelligence service said on Friday that Russia was not yet fixed on an invasion, although it was prepared. “I believe that the decision to attack has not yet been made,” Bruno Kahl told Reuters.

In Washington, the chairman of the US joint chiefs of staff, Gen Mark Milley, agreed: “We don’t think final decisions have been made.”

However, Milley said the current buildup of Russian troops was greater “than anything we’ve seen in recent memory”.

“Given the type of forces that are arrayed – the ground manoeuvre forces, the artillery, the ballistic missiles, the air forces, all of it packaged together – if that was unleashed on Ukraine, it would be significant. Very significant,” the general said.

Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov told parliament that “as of today, there are no grounds to believe” Russia will invade imminently, noting that its troops have not formed what he called a battle group to force its way over the border

“Don't worry, sleep well,” he said. “No need to have your bags packed.”

It's hilarious that today's Democrats think that the Nazis were Republicans.

2020's Democrats are the least self aware people who ever lived.

Why don't you tell everybody how they should kill their bosses and steal everything they own again.

Or give me a list of the books you want burned and the people who you want censored.

Or maybe you want to tell us how Biden*'s racist and sexist SCOTUS pick isn't racist and sexist.

You're a fucking idiot.

Ten days of sunny to mostly sunny weather 60=70 deg daytime high.

THIS is the weather that I love!

Too bad I'll be indoors recovering from chemo.

Yes, I have cancer, That "nothing" mammo turned out to be a small but aggressive type of cancer that popped up and metastasized into at least one lymph node between mammograms. Helped along by one (rare) bad gene that didn't turn up on the usual 8=gene panel, but needed a full 90-gene panel to be revealed. (no family Hx of breast cancer, and this one has nothing to do with hormones or pregnanacy or breastfeeding or abortions, it's called a HER2+ cancer combined with a BARD1 gene defect that means I don't repair DNA very well. I guess I got "lucky". The geneticist was all excited to find it. Me, not so much.)

I've been on chemo since mid-Oct, and I gotta say: it sucks. One more infusion in three weeks, then surgery to remove breast and lymph nodes, see how much cancer remains, recovery, then back on another less stringent form of chemo for another 9 months. If not a cure, then life prolongs for another 3 years, maybe more.

Gotta say, chemo sucks. Lost most of my hair, but nobody tells you you can lose your fingernails and toenails too. Nerve damage: everything tastes bitter, especially the "good for me" foods like ... oh pretty much any source of protein like meat, cheese, anything aged (soy, saurkraut, pickled anything) or anything with ANY bitterness in the falvorprofile. eve apples taste bitter.

Cumulative nerve damage elsewhere too- can't feel my fingertips very well, my toes, or the balls of my feet so I have to pick up things very carefully, walk carefully, and I lose my balance often bc I can't tell where my weight is on my feet. I tripped and fell down... hard... while walking the dog, tore the elbow off a VERY heavy duty-shirt and skinned myself up pretty good. Lost a lot of weight. Needed two transfusions bc of anemia due to general bone marrow suppression. Aches and pains like the worst flu-like body aches X5 from the Neulasta used to boost white blood cell production. Diarrhea. Need my heart function checked every three months to make sure I'm not developing heart failure. Palpitations and supraventricular tachycardia. Fatigue. It's been a cavalcade of side effects and medications to manage the side effects. Fortunately, the vomitting hasn't happened.

But! Only one more to go! Looking forward to that, and eventual recovery and some semblance of better health and activity.

The family has been very helpful. Dear daughter = despite her anxieties and disabilities- has been really pitching in and very patient with my outbursts and bad temper, and just gives me a hug. What a sweetie! Hubby and she have been running all my usual errands, and he's been taking me for my appointments and staying with me for my infusions (which last pretty mcuh all day bc they're pumping so much stiff into me) and I have one relative in the area who's been staying with dear daughter while I'm being infused and helping out in a myriad of ways, buying me tolerable foods like whey powder and egg white powder and providing me with medical advice and help and moral support.

So, life goes on.

May this New Year be better than the old!

Estonian PM warns against 'any steps towards Russia'

Europe and the US should be "very careful" not to make concessions to Russia, Estonia's prime minister told AFP on Friday, insisting that Moscow alone can de-escalate the situation.

Kaja Kallas, whose country hosts a NATO multinational battalion, also said she had been holding talks to strengthen NATO's presence in Estonia as a deterrent amid soaring tensions over Ukraine.

Russia loses a million people in historic population fall

Russia's population declined by more than one million people in 2021, the statistics agency Rosstat reported Friday, a historic drop not seen since the collapse of the Soviet Union.

Ongoing demographic woes have been exacerbated by the pandemic with Rosstat figures showing more than 660,000 had died with coronavirus since health officials recorded the first case in the country.

The new figures continue a downward trend from the previous year when Russia's population fell by more than half a million.

The Covid-related fatalities figures published monthly by Rosstat are far higher than death figures released by a separate government website, which is dedicated to tracking the pandemic in the country.

Those government website figures only take into account fatalities where the virus was established as the primary cause of death after an autopsy and shows just 329,443 total fatalities.

The discrepancy has fed into criticism that the Russian government has been downplaying the severity of the pandemic in one of the worst-hit countries by cases in the world.

You're a fucking idiot.

I actually think Republicans are Adolf Eichmann while he was on trial in Israel. With him, the truth was Fake News. His defense was that the Holocaust was Fake News and that he was a Liberal and Patriot. His attitude was "How dare you put me on trial for being merely a paper pusher? I never killed anyone. You should have put the real killer on trial -- Roosevelt who bombed German women and children." Eichmann's version of reality did not convince the judges. About half of Germans agreed with Eichmann's reality but they didn't go on trial because they were neither famous nor unusual.

Putin and Trump aren't on trial, just yet, but the Truth is always Fake News with those two and their fans love that about them. When someone confronts Trump with the Truth, he gets very angry, calling them liars selling Fake News. His fans love that about him. When someone confronts Putin with the Truth, he laughs or he politely and firmly denies the accusations. Putin is a much smoother liar than Trump. Putin is admired for that by his fans and political base.

My political sentiments inclined toward the left and emphasized the socialist aspects every bit as much as nationalist ones. — Adolf Eichmman's memoir, quoted in Gotz Aly, Hitler’s Beneficiaries. How the Nazis Bought the German People (London: Verso, 2007), pp. 16-17.

During cross-examination, prosecutor Hausner asked Eichmann if he considered himself guilty of the murder of millions of Jews. Eichmann replied: "Legally not, but in the human sense ... yes, for I am guilty of having deported them". When Hausner produced as evidence a quote by Eichmann in 1945 stating: "I will leap into my grave laughing because the feeling that I have five million human beings on my conscience is for me a source of extraordinary satisfaction." Eichmann countered the claim saying that he was referring only to "enemies of the Reich". — Great World Trials; The Adolph Eichmann Trial 1961 (1997) pages 332-337.

The truth is that fake news is fake news and we've been swimming in it for years.

It's because of stupid shits like you that lack any critical thinking skills and believe anything printed in a paper you choose to read is a fact so long as it isn't prefixed with "i think".

"Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated"



Any happy idiot - except THUGR - knows that the three Bs +PU are viscerally anti-Russian. (In case you don't know what those are, THUGR, they are the three Baltic states Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, which are tiny, plus Poland and Ukraine. Except Ukraine, facing the Russian bear and calculating its chances of survival if it pokes the bear, has moderated its stance lately. It doesn't want the USA to fight Russia "down to the last Ukrainian").

Meanwhile, Bulgaria has said they will pull their NATO troops out of any fight in Ukraine; and France and Germany (and Italy, on the sidelines) are frantically pushing Ukraine to back off of its hostile anti-Russian stance, re-institute the cease fire and potentially make progress on the Minsk accord ... which Ukraine signed, and was approved by the UN Security council including an assenting vote from the USA ... because they desperately don't want to see a war in Europe which would require them to slit their own throats and derail Nordstream2. Even Josep Borrel, the High Representative of EU Foreign Affairs, has toned down his shrill sound in the past few weeks.

There is a clear division of opinion in NATO. The USA and Britain, which both feel insulated from a European war, are still pushing for war with Russia. Some EU states are still very shrill about RUSSIA!RUSSIA! Others are weighing their futures, and still others have definitely pulled back.

This whole "crisis" is a USA/British construct. It all started when Ukraine moved its troops eastward last summer and threatened to re-start the war on the DPR/LDNR. Then Russia moved troops towards the west (but still 100 miles inside their own borders).

The ONLY ONES hyping this "Russian invasion" are the USA and Britain. The USA has taken its show on the road, with CIA director Burns, Sullivan and Blinken taking turns trotting their wares (cropped satellite photos) around various EU capitals, while much of the EU remains unconvinced. Yes, the USA has been able to twist arms and force German pols to reluctantly agree to sanctions "if" Russia invades Ukraine, but the Germans and French are doing everything in their power to make sure that no possibility exists where the USA, or some rogue element in Ukraine, can can create a provoking incident.

Germany is SO unconvinced, it just sent 5000 helmets(!) to Ukraine as part of the "defense effort". I can't decide if that crosses the line into "insult" territory, or not.
