How anyone could not already have been aware of the rasputitsa phenomenon before this stupid war even started is beyond me, but then not everyone is a history nerd/map gamer.

(How the loving RUSSIAN ARMY could just up and drive straight into it is... well... Georgy Zhukov is clearly rolling around in his grave.)

I had never heard of the rasputitsa phenomenon before you posted, but I had heard of "Dirt roads becoming impossible to drive on in spring and fall". What's all the more impressive is that you would think Putin of all people would be aware of how the roads are in Russia and Ukraine. Did they have an unusually light snowfall this year or something that would justify trying the invasion now?

This is the same guy who draws those colorful, twisted caricatures of women as evil shrill harpies because they have abortions or whatever. He went through a mock “liberal phase” and did several “serious” comics about the dangers of the right wing.

It is certainly a pretty central fact in any history of the eastern front of WW2, which you'd think the Russian Army would know about. JFC, did they neglect institutional knowledge, or what?

Did he really have a faux-liberal phase? I mostly just remember him getting some traction online, in mostly left spaces, from a comic making fun of Joe Biden's 'You Ain't Black' remark, only to find out afterwards that he's a chud.

No, the twin towers comic is making fun of liberals: "see this is what a liberal would draw aren't they so unhinged"

He was a right-wing shithead before and after the "you ain't black" cartoon, that was such a deranged and revealing thing for Biden to say that everyone dunked on it from across the spectrum (except for the center because they really do believe black people owe them their votes for nothing)

Obviously my brain isn't as massive as this Blower guy's, but it sure reads to me like the actual process on the left is "tax rises -> assorted beneficial programs -> more money in the end" which is actually a really simple mechanism, and then he drew the arrows all squiggly to make it seem complicated, but it's still a bunch of a -> b -> c lines.

It even follows that the flowchart on the right is garbage because it does not include the effects of abandoning these programs, which are evidently a major factor in any recipient's ultimate spending power, sos you'd have to be a total idiot to argue that tax cuts enrich anyone other than those already too rich to need any of these programs. It deserved to be abandoned.

quote:

WE WILL NOT COMPLY

Watching the news on TV used to make me angry enough, but lately I’ve had to avoid it nearly altogether. The constant banging of war drums. The blatant propaganda. The disgusting warmongering. It’s too much to take.

Congress and our politicians continue to shovel heaps of praise upon Ukrainian President Zelensky, who has been hard at work trying to get more support for his war against Russia. America has approved $13.6 billion to help Ukraine protect its borders. Remember when Congress didn’t want to give Trump a few million bucks to fund the wall at our own southern border? Why are our politicians so eager to help out a country that has traditionally been under Russian influence? Because Ukraine is a huge money laundering operation and feeding trough for them. It’s a way of rewarding the New World Order foot soldiers. Ukraine is known as one of the most corrupt countries on Earth. Ukraine is not a democracy and Zelensky is no heroic angel fighting for freedom. Expect the billions of dollars in taxpayer money to be siphoned off by his cronies as well as the children of our own corrupt politicians.

Speaking of the New World Order, Joe Biden has officially acknowledged it. Most of us have known its existence for quite some time, but Biden has made it official. The New World Order is no longer a conspiracy theory.

There’s going to be a new world order out there and we have to lead it," Biden said disclosing information he received from a top military official in a “secure meeting.”

Pedo Joe has announced it before, but the media paid no attention. Joe said he was a globalist, not a nationalist. Unlike Trump, Traitor Joe wasn’t about to put America first and it is certainly obvious now. Of course, he takes his marching orders from those globalists along with nearly everyone else in Congress, the security agencies, and in corporate media. The globalist cabal wanted us all to wear masks and get deadly injections known as ‘vaccines.’ Now that same cabal wants war. Let’s hope more of us wake up, wise up, and refuse to go along.

The common line used by the war cheerleaders is the United States is ‘losing face’ by not standing up to Putin. Losing face is no reason to risk World War Three. Besides, the US has long lost its face. We’ve lost it to the globalist bankers who have ruined our dollar. We lost it in Afghanistan when Biden saw to it we were humiliated in defeat. We lost it when the left stole the election and then forced their climate change bunk upon us, which drove up energy prices. The Satanic types at the top of the pyramid also want to force pedophilia on us as well as their destructive, unscientific notions that men can be women.

The country as we knew it is gone. The Deep State Swamp is in control and they in turn are controlled by a handful of incredibly wealthy families who want to run the world. They own the planet and they think there are too many of us on it. They wanted to cull us through vaccination. Apparently they now want us removed by war.

Let’s not cooperate.
