When absolutely no WMDs were found, the Senate Intelligence Committee gathered more proof over several years to confirm that Cheney was always a lying sack of shit, not the caring bureaucrat he was pretending to be.
Similarly, the Senate took several years to confirm that Russia did interfere with the 2016 election, that Assange/WikiLeaks helped the Russians, and Trump was an easily agitated lying sack of shit who went steps further than Cheney dared by obstructing the slow investigation of the 2016 election. Cheney didn't have the cajones to do as Trump did. Trump is The Man, not some bureaucrat interested in technical details. He deserves to be the next President, for sure, because he is an extremely manly man with an ugly temper and ruddy face, unlike the pasty-faced Dick Cheney with heart disease, a man afraid to shout because he might have a coronary if he did.

"I'm here until Berlin": Russia's war video sends chilling message
Russia has launched a new advertising campaign for the war against Ukraine. The ad for its 'special military operation,' states that Russian soldiers will receive free land in Odessa after capturing it.
The actor says, 'I'm here until victory, until Berlin, just as my grandpa told me.'
In the comments, Russians are writing, 'So we have to take Berlin too! Great!'

"Because Cheney said so"?
You're too stupid to live. No wonder you volunteered for Vietnam!
There was the "intelligence" scare that Iraq was going to buy yellowcake from Niger. But the document was PROVEN to be a forgery within a week.
There was the "intelligence" scare that Saddam was buying aluminum tubes to use in uranium centrifuges. But a mechanical engineer looked at the specs and realized that they were to weak to use in centrifuges, and that they probably were rocket bodies.
There was the "intelligence" claim that Iraq was [somehow] involved in 9-11. That was easily debunked.
Then the "intelligence" claim that Iraq, while not directly involved in 9-11, was running a terrorist training camp. That was further embellished with the scare scenario that a dedicated Iraqi terrorist could sneak a dirty bomb through one of our ports. There was no evidence.
So, what would be your response to the NEXT thing that "intelligence" says, with their history of having been publicly and embrassingly debunked on everything else so far?
Just swallow whatever swill they dumped out that day?
On top of that, Hans Blix and UNMOVIC (which BTW included Americans) were right there, in Iraq, investigating that very claim. Not in the basement at Langley, concocting ridiculous claims on provably wrong "evidence".
The RIGHT thing to do would have been to wait another few months, because the inspection team was close to reaching a conclusion, instead of relying on provably wrong hoaxes from "intelligence".
As a civilian disconnected from The Blob, EVEN I could tell it wa a put up job. So Feinstein and the Senate Intelligence [sic] Committee were either really, really stupid, or lying sacks of shit.
Quote:

Again, contradicted by all available evidence.
And the rest of your post is just more invective and lies.
You obviously can't tell truth from lies. No wonder you volunteered for Vietnam! And you didn't learn from that mistake. You just keep lying to yourself and everyone else, mired in your own crap.

Politico: Nazi Yaroslav Hunka may have volunteered for the Waffen SS Galizia Division, (which was a Nazi enforcer in Romania and Poland, not fighting Russians) but he fought for the right reasons with a pure heart.
Yanno, "It's complicated" and not all Nazis were ... er, Nazis.

So now we're Nazi apologists, eh? Nazis weren't so bad? We weren't really fighting Nazis in Europe? The Soviet Union wasn't really our ally?
That's the latest spin: We're losing in Ukraine, but we can always rewrite history!

Speaking of rewriting history in realtime:
Quote:
THIS IS NOT ABOUT NATO
'This is not about NATO expansion!"... the Western public has been told over and over again of the war in Ukraine, now in its 20th month. "Never about NATO... Nothing to do with NATO" - has been the constant refrain from US officials and media "authorities". Below is a video compilation by Matt Orfalea showing Western media personalities and analysts claiming that the war in Ukraine had nothing to do with NATO expansion... but then oops... only this last month NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg clearly and repeatedly acknowledged that Putin made the decision to invade Ukraine because of fears of NATO expansionism in a speech before the EU Parliament’s foreign affairs committee.
For a trip down memory lane, and more importantly so this epic compilation of clips highlighting the MSM drumbeat of lies doesn't get memory-holed, watch the below compilation by Matt Orfalea

Now, in a desperate plea to reengage the public on the putative ‘threat’ that Russia poses in defeating Ukraine, the globalist scriptwriters have rolled out a new narrative: saving Ukraine means saving Taiwan from China.

Instead, you should have threatened Senator Feinstein that if she is proven wrong about the existence of WMDs in Iraq and about Iraq being behind 9/11, there will be consequences for Feinstein. But you didn't threaten because you are inconsequential and threats from you are without weight. Maybe if you sent a death threat you would get a reaction from the FBI, but nothing from Feinstein. There are no real consequences emanating from weightless people like you toward Congressional decision-makers. Never have been, never will be, other than writing malicious gossip at fireflyfans.net, for anything Congressmen get wrong. Why would any Senator pay attention to a letter from Signym? Feinstein never read your letter and never did pay any mind to you. A temporary staffer in the Senator's office wrote back with some empty reassurances that meant nothing at all. Someday, an A.I. will write those letters to constituents. No human will see what you wrote.

Russia scrambles to cover ballooning cost of Ukraine war
By Max Seddon and Anastasia Stognei in Riga, October 4th.
Vladimir Putin’s cabinet is turning to increasingly irregular revenue-raising measures to fund a rapid rise in defence spending, which has tripled since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
The Russian government has said it aims to spend a staggering Rbs10.8tn ($108bn) on defence next year, three times the amount allocated in 2021, the last year before the invasion, and 70 per cent more than was planned for this year.
To cobble together that sum, the cabinet is relying to a greater extent on irregular revenues stemming from one-off taxes and levies, including “voluntary donations” western businesses have to pay when leaving Russia.
The defence budget “will allow us to completely support the tasks of the special military operation”, finance minister Anton Siluanov said on Tuesday, using the Kremlin’s euphemism for the war in Ukraine. The military spending increase, he said, was “essential to achieve our main goal: making sure we win”.
Russia’s record Rbs36.6tn budget for next year will take defence spending to 6 per cent of gross domestic product, exceeding social welfare for the first time, and require the Kremlin to tap considerably more sources of revenue than previously.
“Putin has two priorities: war and power,” said Konstantin Sonin, an economist and professor at the University of Chicago. “That’s why the budget process now works in such a way that policymakers first make sure the junta gets what it needs for the war and then address the rest of the budget?.?.?.?And to do all that, they constantly look for new sources to scrape money together.”
As part of the funding plans for 2024, irregular budget revenues will leap to Rbs2.52tn, the highest level ever. By contrast, this year, such revenues amounted to just Rbs745bn.
The bulk of next year’s one-off revenues are Rbs800bn worth of social contributions that Russian companies were supposed to pay in 2022, but were postponed until 2024.
Another Rbs2bn is expected to come from new export duties tied to exchange rates, the western companies’ “voluntary donations” when leaving Russia, tax increases and subsidy cuts for energy producers, and a rise in utility tariffs.
Those measures come after Russia raised Rbs300bn this year from a windfall tax on “excessive profits” made by commodities companies, particularly the metals sector, more tax increases in the energy sector, and Rbs114bn from western companies. That “voluntary donation” will increase next year from 10 per cent to 15 per cent of the value of the sale of their Russian business.
Another source of revenue will come from excise taxes for alcohol and tobacco, which will triple in 2024. Some of the new income will bypass the budget entirely, meaning that overall irregular state revenues could be even higher.
Still, analysts are sceptical that the Kremlin will secure all the extra revenue it says it needs.
“There is a possibility that Russia will not receive about Rbs1tn of the expected revenues because the budget is based on an overly optimistic economic forecast,” said Sofya Donets, a former central bank official and chief economist at Renaissance Capital.
In that case, the Russian government was likely to slap more one-off levies as it has done in the past, she added.
Spending cuts in areas other than defence were a “last resort”, Donets said, adding that Moscow could also tap excess revenues from energy sales, which currently have to be saved rather than spent.
Russia’s war spending goes beyond what is earmarked for defence in the budget breakdown.
Half of the national security and law enforcement budget was also war-related, as it included payments to Russian security forces as well as a modernisation programme for the defence industry, said Pavel Luzin, a non-resident senior fellow at the Center for European Policy Analysis.
Adding to Russia’s financing challenges are the billions of roubles needed to “rebuild” and annex the territories in

Oct 5 (Reuters) - President Vladimir Putin on Thursday reiterated his position that Russia did not start the war in Ukraine but launched what it calls a "special military operation" to try to stop it.
In his yearly speech to the Valdai Discussion Club, being held in Sochi, Putin said Russia, the world's largest country by area, had no need to take territory from Ukraine.
He said the conflict was not therefore imperial or territorial but about the global order, and that the West, which had lost its hegemonic power and always needed an enemy, had lost touch with reality.

Putin is a deep philosopher of science, as are you, Signym, revealing Extraordinary Truths with Clarity that average people would completely miss without his and your exacting explanations of reality. Kidding. Whenever Putin makes a speech, he blows black smoke to hide reality.
