Are the Democrats about to cook up a fake war
- Thread starter 2surf
- Start date
Basically, you are saying "I don't care what France or NATO says, France is not a member of NATO!"
Right?
Because France is not a member of NATO. They have an alliance with NATO but there's a distinction there.
Your hovel is in Manhattan Beach and probably costs 4x what my hovel does. Did you literally just get done hearing a shouting match between your neighbors? The one I don't really know who seems scared of me was calling the other one a f-----g bitch. The other one whose murder I described in detail the eleventieth time she left me nowhere to park and finally stopped parking my spot's boyfriend was shouting shut up. The first one's boyfriend suggested everyone go inside - he's apparently a martial arts expert. Now the cops are here.
Shame it's a schoolnight or I might be hooking up a Big Ball of Blanco.
You should get a dog. Not one you like....just like, a disposable one. I'm sure there's a dog dealer in FT Pierce that has just what your looking for, You can give it some of Duffys steroids and not feed it for a week and turn it loose.
I don't do dependents. And honestly I am not sure what the commotion was but it quieted down before I went to sleep and having had basically zero problems for a few years now, I want to maintain the peace at this point.
The French diplomatic arm of the govt says this:
It is my understanding that the various states that belong to NATO all have their 'conditions of participation", aka "a distinction". As such, to me at least, this means France is in NATO.
If your point is that their conditions of participation/distinction means that they are not part of NATO, we can agree to disagree and move on to other topics like how it should first be Europe responding to their Russian neighbor before the US of A....after all, Ukraine isn't a member of NATO.
Speaking of bitcoins in Ukraine...
----------
Ukrainian paramilitary groups have been fighting Russian-sponsored forces in the eastern part of country at varying levels of intensity since the 2014 Russian invasion, but only recently have these groups begun to fund themselves with bitcoin donations, according to a Tuesday analysis published by blockchain analytics firm Elliptic.
“These groups are funded by private donors, who have used bank wires and payment apps to donate millions of dollars,” the report says. “Bitcoin BTCUSD, -0.11% has also emerged as an important alternative funding method, allowing international donors to bypass financial institutions that are blocking payments to these groups.”

the dark underbelly of crypto markets....
took a cue from Isis who got it from Al Qaeda...
I hear some people buy drugs online using Monera...
Bitcoin's start was for buying drugs, weapons, people, etc. on Silk Road.
Blinksmanship. I had no idea the raw numbers stack up so badly against NATO and the US, and of course the supply lines are much shorter for the Russians who also excel in winter warfare. Also, if we kick off another war in this region, we have no way of knowing whether it will become a larger Eastern European war like the wars we've started in the Middle East that led to the formation of ISIS and other non-state militaries and the strengthening of Iran.
Seems like signing a paper telling Russia we will NEVER admit the Ukraine to NATO is an easy, face-saving exit for everyone. Since our elites have not personally experienced the horrors of war, I am not confident we will find this exit. Hopefully, Boomer Blinken is averse to sending other people's kids to die in this folly.

But now that Fightin Joe Biden has Vlad Pop in his gun sights, those people better get out of Dodge because America, by golly, will absolutely not tolerate any violation of, or even disrespect for Ukraine's sacred borders.
If there's one thing Fightin Joe holds more dear than anything other than Crack Pipes for everyone, it's borders. Yes Fat... B O R D E R S
