Ukraine II: The Fight Against Russian Aggression

Red Hats?

"Red Hats, pl. noun:Trump True Believers, known for their pathetic attempts to look like Il Duce by wearing his famed red "Make America Great Again" hat.

Often associated with uncontrollable white rage and self-deluded grandeur, Red Hats have been known to act violently at several Trump rallies, including violent attacks upon protesters, most often minorities.

These individuals are also quasi-fascists, who mistakenly believe they love the American Constitution and Thomas Jefferson but actually share more in common with dictatorial thugs from the past and present, like Benito Mussolini in Italy and Reccep Tayyip Erdogan in Turkey.

They proclaim, very loudly, to love Donald Trump for "Making America Great Again," but really love him because he speaks the proper "code" and will restore their erstwhile social dominance, thereby ensuring no more "uppity non-Americans," like Mexican-Americans, blacks, and Muslim-Americans ever get out of line again."

That's from the Webster's. I'll link the Oxford definition a bit later.

"Volprof, random internet poster who values his own opinions far more than anyone else ever could. Considers himself to be a person of high intellect but rarely exhibits said trait. Very aggessive and condescending toward posters whose opinions differ from his. Angry retort coming a bit later.

If this is true, and even if it isn't true, we've never seen an American presidential campaign this in bed with the Kremlin. This is just disgusting!

It's no wonder to me that some of the half-assed authoritarians on this site, who present themselves under the guise of Constitutionalists and freedom-lovers, are Trump True Believers because many of these same posters have always expressed a fondness for Putin. They want a strongman in control here, one who will force everyone - especially non-whites and non-Christians - to finally fall back in line.

No thank you. We don't need another Kremlin here in Washington. The Russians and Putin-lovers can keep their Kremlin where it belongs - in Moscow.

can we keep the trump hating to other threads? just like we didn't want Ras and Pacer changing the subject to how much America sucks every time we bring up a point; I don't want to hear how much Trump sucks everytime we bring up a point. TIA

"Red Hats, pl. noun: A group of exceedingly dedicated and disproportionately dumb Donald Trump supporters, named for the ridiculous and asinine red "Make America Great Again" hat their aspiring dictator made famous early in his inept campaign for the American presidency. Although these individuals are not always seen wearing this nostalgically quasi-fascist hat, they are always seen looking incredibly goofy.

Stupidly enraged by two terms of a black presidency, Il Duce spoke just enough of the "code" to waken them from their meth-induced slumber just long enough to actually give a damn about American politics again for the first time since the 1960s, when they fought vigorously - but ultimately ineffectively - to keep African-Americans from sharing the same rights purportedly granted to all by the US Constitution.

Red Hats have sometimes been violent at Trump rallies and around the United States, often attacking minorities, either physically or verbally. These dumbasses also truly believe, incorrectly, that the American president, Barack Obama, is a Muslim, a Bolshevik, a Nazi, and a Jew, depending upon which one of these knuckleheads you ask and what time of the day you ask them.

Red Hats are composed of two factions, both of which are categorically "True Believers." The first faction, the inordinately stupid one, actually thinks this guy will produce millions of high-paying jobs (often in some bull**** like the oil industry), pay off the national debt, and put an end to Islamic terrorism and illegal Mexican immigration to the US, all while expanding the federal budget and decreasing taxes. The other faction, the intelligent one, if you can call it that, knows he's exactly the idiot it needs to foment a long-awaited race war that will produce its lame idea of a "white nationalist superstate" but will in fact only lead to the end of Western civilisation as we know it."

That's the Oxford definition. Notice the "s" in civilization.

Trump's the Kremlin's candidate.

I'll try to stay more on topic, but you're going to have to put me on ignore if you don't want to hear more Trump-bashing in here, because he has everything to do with the Kremlin and its disinformation agenda.

then at least also bring up how the Clintons are also doing business under (not even) the table with the Russians. no need to tell just one side of the story.

The Clintons certainly have troubling ties - albeit probably indirect, unlike Trump's - with the Kremlin, mostly because any money that comes from Russia invariably comes from the Kremlin, business and the state being linked there as they are. The Clintons should know better, and the fact that they either don't know better or don't care troubles me.

In fact, all four "major" candidates in this election (Trump, Clinton, Johnson, and Stein) have either troubling relationships with the Kremlin or have said very troubling things in support of Russia and the Kremlin - all equally preposterous to me. As John Schindler has pointed out, you know that you've reached a new era of American politics and of Kremlin disinformation, when the only major contender for the presidency who doesn't have ties with the Kremlin or sympathetic views of its global agenda in Bernie Sanders is a socialist who honeymooned in the USSR.

But Clinton's corruption, Johnson's goofiness, and Stein's misdirected anti-Americanism aside, there's only one candidate for the presidency that the Kremlin actively supports, so much so, in fact, that it is attempting to subvert our democracy through both cyberwarfare tactics and disinformation. I will naturally direct the vast majority of my ire towards this un-American idiot, at best, and traitorous bastard, at worst, as a result.

or just do it in a thread devoted to him. again this thread has been a nice shelter from the rest of the PF, focused on international affairs.

Agree. This thread has endured because it hasn't brought in the US Dem/GOP drama...

The desperation of Dems to align Trump with Putin should make Republicans rethink Putin...

Lol, more FSB lies.

What would Kiev achieve by doing this? Look up the Gleiwitz incident and get back to me.

Lavrov reveals proof of Kiev?s involvement in sabotage in Crimea - PravdaReport

We really don't conceal what is known, we show people who were detained, stores with weapons and munition, which were detected in the Crimea. Of course we cannot show everything on TV, but we have irrefutable evidence that it was sabotage, which had been masterminded by the Main directorate of intelligence of the Ukrainian Defence Ministry and aimed to destabilize the Russian Crimea,' Lavrov claimed.

I'm adding this here because I don't feel like searching for the Syria thread and my concern primarily involves Russia - not Syria.

Apparently a squadron of TU-22s took off on a combat mission (in Syria) from an Iranian airbase inside Iran for the first time today.

That's a new precedent in the Great Game.

Although Turkey and Iran have a lot to squabble about, as do Turkey and Russia, my fear is that the unthinkable is starting to come together. What is the unthinkable, you might ask? Well, besides another Berlin-Moscow-Tokyo (or insert Beijing for historical update) axis, which history shows never ends well for them or for the rest of us, it's a Turko-Russo-Iranian alliance.

That's an alliance that cannot happen. That would mean the three most powerful militaries in Western/Central Asia (resource jackpot) are now aligned, with the potential of strategic control of the Bosphorus, Black Sea, Persian Gulf, and the Strait of Hormuz. This would also mean that, in the event of another great war, the US Navy and its allies would have to essentially cut off the Indian Ocean, in addition to the Arctic, Atlantic, and Pacific Oceans, and the Baltic and Mediterranean Seas (the Mediterranean no longer protected by the Bosphorus chokepoint).

those chokepoints work both ways. we don't have to hold the geographic chokepoint in order to cut it off. just park our navy at what ever range is still effective from the chokepoints and we achieve the same thing.

and cutting off the rest of the world gets them nothing they already have. honestly the only nation capable of using those resources is China, and China is in bed with both sides.

Russia has been sitting on that gold mine for a long long time, as have the others, and they haven't done anything with them. no reason to fear that changing.

and in all of the cases the big personalities in charge tend to not last long in mutual alliances and the eventual favoritism will tear them apart, the alliance.
 
This run from Iran was clearly not needed. Russia has airbases in Syria. It was to rub our faces in the mud.

I tell you, maybe it's that my wife has forced me to become a "Game of Thrones" viewer, but I can't help thinking this is the same ordeal.

We're currently undergoing the Jon Snow-House Stark-House Targaryean retreat only to come back with an entire stewpot of vengeance.

That stewpot awaits.

When this is all said and done, provided no one acts irrationally, they will all be back in their places once again. And the joy of watching them put back in their place will be as exciting as watching Jon Snow put Ramsay Bolton out of his misery.
 
Putin hints at war in Ukraine but may be seeking diplomatic edge | Reuters

Here is the reason why I think Putin will double down and attack

With Russia's reserve fund set to run out next year and Moscow's access to Western credit markets still closed because of the sanctions, for Russia the clock is ticking.

When you're tight on money you don't have massive military deployments and exercises unless you plan to pull the trigger. Russia is like a caged, wounded animals as they get closer to using up the last of their reserves they may lash out.
 
Look who is sitting next to Vladimir Putin. None other than Trump's foreign policy adviser and former DIA Chief Lieutenant General Michael Flynn.
