Well, the Cubans sank the USS Maine, killing hundreds of US sailors, so in a sense they invited the US to build a permanent military base on their soil.

Putinâs speech is basically âwritten and directedâ by Beijing, as pretty much every word out of his mouth has been since the fall of the USSR.
Now Putin is nothing but a familiar face for the Russians to be given orders to by China at this point. Putin completed the transfer of power from Moscow to Beijing and now heâs a powerless war criminal, just another Kim-Jong-Un-style China puppet. The sad thing is Putin probably thought he was going to remain some kind of powerful person long into the future but he got played like a fiddle, will likely end up losing everything in end.
Itâs the cliche storyline â a Boss (China) hires a gang of thugs(Putin, Kim Jong Un, etc) to steal the riches, and after the gang begins succeeding, one by one the thugs start droppingâŚthey foolishly thought the Boss(China) would actually share the take. Moral of the story is, the Chinese Communist Party is friends to nobody, and whoever thought was going to share in their spoils thought wrong.
It looks like Russia is backing out of any nuclear arms control treaties.
Does that mean Russia will start doing atmospheric nuclear tests? Do they have the budget to do so? I know USSR had the money to do it. What will the US do about this, will they also do atmospheric tests too?
Bidenâs rebuttal speech in Poland is really good. Iron clad NATO. Big on freedom and god. Thanks for stepping up and taking all the war refugees.
Strong Joe showed up when it counts? Weâll see.

I think it is more likely they are using this as a threat to stop the US from sending more and better weapons to Ukraine, and as part of the internal propaganda narrative that is is a war against the west
If they have the money, seems like not a good use of it at this time. Will probably not result in much but more sanctions. And the USSR didnât have the money, thatâs how the cold war was won
Theyâll probably keep doing what they were doing anyways. They need nuclear deals with China, having deals with only Russia doesnât make sense. It has put the US behind on things the hypersonic missiles but that wonât last.
Seems highly unlikely
If I were Russia Iâd be feeding North Korea just enough ICBM technology to make it a growing thorn in Americaâs side but not enough to be detected.
Of course thatâs what has been happening already but from China. NK is a China puppet state, not enough resources - heavily dependent on China. Every test in the mountains and every launch is likely approved/requested, funded, supplied, by Beijing. Supplies could be raw material or even expert manpower.
Anytime China has a disagreement with the west, Little Rocket Man starts to play.

Okinawans want the US out of Okinawa, the Japanese are just fine with it.
For that matter, Okinawans want Japan out of Okinawa if they have a choice in the matter.

Possibly, but not likely. More probably a spontaneous combustion of coal stored in a bunker next to the shipâs magazine.

Putin spoke against âthe destruction of the family, cultural and national identity, perversion, and the abuse of children, up to pedophilia.â
Sounds like Tucker or Matt Walsh. From Putin to Fox News to you.
Putin then suggested in his speech that Western elites try reading âscripture,â which, he says, clarifies that âfamily is a union of a man and a woman.â
He referred to plans from the Anglican Church to âreview the idea of a gender-neutral god.ââWhat can you say?â Putin lamented. âForgive them, God, âfor they know not what they do.'â
The Russian President added that âmillions of people in the West understand that they are being led to a real spiritual catastropheâ and that âthe elites are losing their minds.â
I always take Scriptural advice from an ex-KGB officer who regards the downfall of the Soviet Union as the most tragic event in world history.

Actually it was later revealed that USS Maine exploded due to an accident aboard the ship, Spain had nothing to do with it.
But thatâs after the war was over with.
If an explosion happened to an American warship while crossing the strait, china will get blamed even if itâs because charlie actually smoked in the ammo room.
Yup. Just another false flag operation like the Gulf of Tonkin incident and the WMD hysteria to justify inviting ourselves onto foreign soil.

The US has only spent 4 years in all of its history not at war since 1789. They are itching for war. Thereâs contractors that need to be paid and not to mention, lots of homeless people on the street who would find quick employment should a war break out. Back in Iraq war they were letting felons sign up because they were that desperate for bodies.
China needs to be extremely careful, especially now.

Theyâre all the same to me.
I saw that documentary as well. Makes sense but someone also could have thrown a bomb in there.
Point is, the US basically needlessly escalate things or rather place themselves in situations where things often escalate. Itâs almost like they WANT to go to war. Like for example docking military asset so close to enemy territory where if anything happens it would be very hard for them to deny it, even if the incident is not their fault.
Like the US constantly sailing ships in the Taiwan strait. If there were some kind of accident you know 99% chance the US will blame it on China and the public will demand war. I know the US is trying to make a point to make China not escalate things, but this could very well escalate out of control.
