Head of MI6: The World at Most Dangerous Point in 40 Years

Sunday, December 01, 2024

"In 37 years in the intelligence profession I've never seen the world in a more dangerous state. And the impact on Europe, our shared European home, could hardly be more serious," Sir Richard said, adding that if "Putin is allowed to succeed in reducing Ukraine to a vassal state he will not stop there."

Nancy Pelosi: "With Trump, all roads lead to Putin. I don't know what the Russians have on the president, politically, personally, or financially."

Sure he will stop just as soon as all the bad Nazis are dead! That's all he wants, then Ukraine can have their country back! - EffeteVlad

During America's tragic involvement in Vietnam 60 years ago, the meme "Burn down the village in order to save it" emerged.

Putin wants to re-establish rule over Ukraine. But in essence he is burning down the village he is trying to save.

Ukraine's dams and power systems are not military targets, but Putin's wants to demoralize, terrify, punish, and freeze the Ukrainians. So as part of the Nakba, Putin destroys Kiev's infrastructure. Vlad the Impaler knows how cold Ukraine gets.

The animus between Ukrainians and Russians has been thoroughly baked into the DNA cake for at least two generations.

All I know is I would advise young people not to volunteer to go into the services in combat arms. Sure, let the service train you to for a trade, but until there is a return of the draft when the kids of the oligarchs have to scrub toilets and dodge bullets alongside the children of the poor, why die for Musk's empire, or Trump's?

#4 This happened under Biden not Trump. Trump was elected to bring the adults in.

@#5 ... This happened under Biden not Trump. ...

Did it?

How long has this situation been brewing?

Did the Pres-elect Trump during his first term, where he seemed to be Pres Putin's hand puppet, have anything to do with Pres Putin's acting as he has been with respect to the sovereign county of Ukraine?

Has Pres Putin's deep influence (and control?) upon the current Republican Party made Pres Putin more aggressive in trying to achieve his goal to reestablish the old USSR?

#6 "In 37 years in the intelligence profession I've never seen the world in a more dangerous state." So in 37 years RIGHT NOW is the most dangerous. Who is in charge RIGHT NOW. Hint, it wasn't Trump.

Donald had one failed presidency, he'll have another. As night follows day.

Donald is lazy, ignorant, disloyal, vengeful, and corrupt.

Ain't no body talking about Biden here. Everyone has Donald on their mind.

Donald Trump is the original paper tiger. World events and leaders smarter than he (most of them) are going to be dragging him around by his dick.

They'll both be dead in 2 years.
