War, what is it good for?

Ahhhhhhh... now you're speaking my language. So basically Putin is like Shane McMahon and all of Russia have been selling for his bad punches since the late 90s.

Putin puts Russian nuclear forces on high alert​



Russian leader complains about Western response to his invasion of Ukraine.

Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered his nuclear forces on high alert Sunday, reminding the world he has the power to use weapons of mass destruction, after complaining about the West’s response to his invasion of Ukraine.


Putin’s threat came during yet another highly-staged meeting, broadcast to the Russian public on video, this time with his top military commanders, Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and the chief of the general staff of the Russian military, Valery Gerasimov.

“The top officials of the leading NATO countries allow aggressive statements against our country,” Putin griped, a day after Germany and other European countries said they would speed weapons and other military assistance to help Ukraine battle the Russian invaders.

“Therefore, I order the Minister of Defense and the Chief of the General Staff to transfer the deterrence forces of the Russian army to a special mode of combat duty.”

The Azov Battalion was created in 2014. They have fought against Vladimir Putin and Russian aggression defending Ukraine since then. They are a well trained militia that is already battle hardened. They are volunteers who's motivation is the defense of Ukraine. These Nationalists could play a large part in repelling the Russian invaders if successful. Tough guys, well armed, and extremely violent. Definitely not The Salvation Army.

There are several youtube channels with live footage of parts of Ukraine. They show the eerie silence over the cities, although that could change at any moment.
 
War is good for CNN ratings
Yeah, 'cause no other news media gets his ratings up when there's a war. When there's a a war, people always switch to CNN, even those who usually only watch Fox News (or OAN, or Newsmax) and side with Trump when he calls CNN "fake news"...
Truth is Fox hates war 'cause when there's a war, Fox's rating go criticaly down
 
It seems to be good for all the cable news networks. Despite a 178% jump, CNN still trails FOX (which had. 64% jump).

CNN seems to bring in more amateur news consumers.

"If it bleeds, it leads." Back during the glory days of the Crack Epidemic CBS LA Channel 2 had Action News. It was a 30 minute broadcast with the first 20 being wall to wall drive-by shooting stories. The remaining ten minutes was Dodger scores and a heartwarming tale of Old Myrtle's 107th Birthday/Bachelorette Party. No one changed the channel until Myrtle showed up.
 
Seems like war is good for business...

Mr. Daystar

In a bell tower, watching you through cross hairs.
Of course it's good business. When I worked, the company was a heat treating facility, and I saw more ordinance pass through the door, then I can remember. You also have to think about the manufacturing facilities, and of course medical, and petroleum industries, especially petroleum.

The only people that don't make out in a war, are the people fleeing and fighting. In other words, the guy that already has nothing, gets to have less,

Personally, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if Trump put that fucktard up to this shit, or the fucktard himself wants to see how far he can push Biden around.anyway you look at this, it's going to do no one any good. I just rolled past a Shell, and a Sunoco, both were $4.09 a gallon. I know Shell used to get Russian crude, and Sun got there's from S. America, Venezuela, I believe. Or at least when I hauled it, that's where it came from.

Seeing how putsky's excuse for the war is the "de-nazification" of Ukraine, maybe that's not the best thumbnail to use?
 
Those Nazis saved Zelensky's life and the Oligarch named in the video financing Azov Battalion is a Jew.
Fair enough, I'm certainly not doubting the battalion's role in Ukraine's successes.
I'm just saying the optics don't look good. They have the other Azov flags which they can use for the photo ops. They're winning the media war; but using that flag might leave a sour taste in people's mouths. At the very least, it's going to be exploited by the rusky propaganda machine.
