Ah yes, cancel culture once again.
Russian vodka pulled from shelves in US, Canada bars, liquor stores: ‘Every small thing makes a difference’
Liquor stores across the U.S. and Canada have started throwing out their stocks of Russian vodka in protest of President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine, according to reports.nypost.com
Awesome, why are still buying 500.000 barrels of oil per week from them?

Actually its a legit pic for once.
Bit of knowledge. Some think this is a new thing. Many lies are being told, by each and every side involved.
Little more history...

If this escalates (and that seems likely now), the next step is China going into Taiwain.
Make no mistake, Xi is very carefully watching the worlds reaction to Putin's adventurism. If out reaction is little more than "stop, or I'll say stop again" he will take that as a green light.
If we do not react strongly, we are sending the message that "Imperialism is back on the menu boys".
People do not realize how incredibly peaceful the world has been since 1945. The Pax Americana is very real, and may be ending.
Most people have no idea what the world will look like if we revert to the pre-1945 state of perpetual war. The minor skirmishes we have been involved in since then are nothing in the grand scheme of things.

Well, you *know* that's wrong.
Once he heard that Biden was going to be the Democrat's nominee I expect Putin was practically orgasmic at the thought of the US being lead by that dullard for 4 years.
I bet he started planning the invasion as soon as he heard the news.

It's absolutely wild watching many of the same people who challenged the lies from the MSM narrative on COVID turn around and just gobble up the war propaganda on MSM as if they all the sudden these people became a trustworthy source of information
We think we're hurting Russia. Which we are.
But Russia is pretty resilient they have been dealing with crap like this for decades I'm sure it's not an unexpected surprise. It's going to hurt them short term but look for them to develop their own system or cooperate with china.
This action may very well be a catalyst for the USD losing some or all of its global reserve currency status, and when that day happens our debt will matter. It will be game over.

I think there are some things China is observing in all this. Currently it “appears” a small country being invaded by a far larger and numerically superior enemy is so far doing decently well against them. A numerically smaller Air Force “appears” to be putting up a decent fight. Ukraines use of javelin missiles “seems” to be doing a heck of a job against enemy armor. Bevause Russia has not steam rolled over Ukraine in 24-48hrs it is giving the rest of the world time to come together and engage against Russia by either economic sanctions or by providing more and more support to Ukraine. If the world was to cut chinas economy off and remove China from banking that could seriously hurt China. Xi is a brutal cruel dictator, but he is smart. Why have all out war with the risks that come with it, when you can accomplish it thru other means.

The First Casualty of War Is the Truth – The Current Western Propaganda for Ukraine Is Epic in Scale
When we shared yesterday that all interested observers should be very wary of the information from media sources around Ukraine, there was a reason for that. Question everything. Take nothing at face value.If you have never experienced the propaganda push surrounding war, the totality of the inbound bullsh*t can be destabilizing, overwhelming and unnerving. It’s one of the reasons why CTH doesn’t share immediate information. Everyone has an agenda.
Everything we are seeing in U.S. media surrounding U.S. interests in Ukraine is a massive propaganda operation with the headquarters in the U.S. State Department and U.S. intelligence community. The sense of sympathy you are feeling is part of an intentionally manipulative operation from within this DC matrix.
The images, pictures, videos, speeches, soundbites and the cinematography broadcast by U.S. corporate media are all purposefully intended to create a very specific outlook within the American people toward the issues in Ukraine. The leftist United Nations, and the leftist U.S State Dept, will work together on this just like they have done in the prior examples (Ukraine 1.0, Libya, Egypt, etc.).
It is very easy to become a victim of psychological warfare intended to manipulate our opinions.

The propoganda and opinion shaping is very strong on both sides.
As has been said repeatedly in this thread "the first casualty is truth" clearly that's evident in "instant" internet based media and social media.
Anyone can post anything and make it look damn convincing and truthful.
George Orwell himself couldn't even dream how effective this would be.

I was driving in the truck today, and the only station that wasn’t broadcasting quack health cures made from cuttlefish cartilage … was my local CBS radio News station. O … M … G … the propaganda was thick and heavy. And here’s what I’ve learned from the legacy media about the Russian invasion of Ukraine …
1 – The people of Russia are turning against Putin. Putin’s war is deeply unpopular in Russia.
2 – Putin is being taught a severe military lesson by the brave Ukrainians as his military assault isn’t going as easy as he expected.
3 – Putin’s military will be meeting the mother of all guerrilla wars as the brave, brave, people of Ukraine will never surrender
4 – zylynski is the Sgt. York of Ukraine … so brave. Such a brave, brave, fighter
5 – The US should DESTROY Russia financially by cutting off the SWIFT Bank from Russia. The only counterbalance to that ABSURD statement is that NATO isn’t s9 keen about that. Never once mentioning how that would result in all gas and oil being shut off to Europe, and would drive Russia into the ChiComs arms and ¥¥¥¥?
6 – Jackie Speir of the Armed Services Committee says Pres. Bidinh is doing a fantastic job … handling Russia (sic).
7. – Putin is acting like a man who’s gone completely insane. Literally … Putin must be having a mental break.
8. – Everyone is hoping one of Putin’s troops will kill him
i have heard ALL of these propaganda points repeated by multiple legacy media outlets all day long. Over and over … these same points. No evidence or proof of any of it. No debate. No opposing views.

If this escalates, it sure as shit wont be the Russians invadeing or attacking anyone else, as they have thier hands full at the moment.
What if Ukraine wins?
I never gave it a second of thought when this started. But now, I think it's possible they can draw this out into a protracted stalemate or make it too costly for Russia.
What does Russia do and how does Putin react?

Just a few points to debunk popular miscoseption.
Soviets didn't try to Russify Ukraine. In fact they created Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic by ADDING territory in the East, which was populated by ethnic Russians. Donbass region was Russia's center for coal mining. It added more proletariat to Ukrainian peasantry. The symbolic hammer and sickle, which is a communist ideal. They also made Ukrainian language and literature mandatory subjects in schools throughout all regions of the republic.
When this was all one country it didn't really matter, but when Soviet Union broke up and Ukraine ended up with artificially created borders, this is the root of the problem in Ukraine today.

They won’t win. Russia doesn’t care about killing civilians. I had this conversation last night and a guy said well maybe the Russian forces won’t kill civilians. I said they don’t have to do it by pointing a gun and pulling the trigger. A general can give coordinates and say push the button and it’s done.
