One of the most noteworthy performances in rock history and you can see Vladimir Putin in the audience. This is from 2005. It would be nice to see McCartney return to Red Square for another big concert while he can still do it.

Excellent video! I really enjoyed this one! :thumb:

'Crime Against Humanity' - Putin on 'Wokeness' and Western PC Culture
Wokeness is like a disease and it should be treated as a serious threat to the integrity of our nation! It would be wise for our leaders to follow the example of set by the leader of Russia.

There seems to be an awful lot of hype over the alleged build up of Russian troops along the border with Ukraine. Today Putin and Biden are scheduled to have some kind of talk. Based on recent history going back a couple decades, Russia is a more rational actor than is the case for the USA. We have made substantial blunders on several occasions. Russia has simply maintained their own hegemony and asserted their legitimate rights. If Russia were to take control of eastern Ukraine, that would be a good thing considering the situation in Ukraine at this time.

Crusty: Considering how Obama debilitated our armed forces by ousting generals with backbone and installing a bunch of limp-wristed pussy ass woketards in their place, I'd say about all we can do is throw a tantrum and initiate a few meaningless sanctions against Russia if they wind up going into Ukraine. It's impossible to deny that the people of Ukraine would be better off if Russia took control of that territory, but it's unlikely that Russia will actually do the right thing anytime soon.

I heard a rumor that Russia has invaded Ukraine. Can anyone confirm this rumor?

pdm: Yes, there's a rumor to that effect, but I wouldn't call it an invasion. It's more of a "peacekeeping mission."

War Crimes? Is Putin guilty of war crimes? No. I'd say that's just propaganda. He's taking care of business and keeping his troops safe. If Putin is a war criminal, then the same would have to be said of Bush and Cheney. That's assuming that the same standards apply to the USA as which apply to Russia.

The Deplatforming Of A Nation State
This is information from Gab which you might find interesting:
GAB wrote:The entire nation state of Russia is getting the "Gab treatment" by Big Tech and the globalist regime.

By that I mean they are being systematically purged from the internet all within the span of about a week.

Google is blocking their apps.

Apple is blocking their apps.

YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, and Telegram have banned or limited access to their accounts.

Twitter has started "fact-checking" and reducing the reach of their links.

YouTube has demonetized their videos.

Reddit has "quarantined" the /r/russia community.

Namecheap, a domain registrar, has cut off ALL Russian customers.

American right wing dissidents are no strangers to any of these things. All of these tools of war have been used against us as American citizens for six years now. In Gab's case we have been banned from both app stores, domain registrars, and big tech platforms for years. Now these same tools and tactics of war that have been developed and used against us as dissidents are being used against all of Russia.

Other nation states should be paying attention to this. Are you going to continue to allow your citizens to be controlled entirely by a handful of companies in Silicon Valley, or is now perhaps the time to start building your own sovereign technology and infrastructure?
