Somehow, it became gospel that …
by Chris Black It was obvious that Ukraine was going to get totally wiped out in their “offensive.” I mean, people had to have known that. I knew it. How could career military strategists not know it? The plan was probably always to let it fail and then say “oh well, see – this is …
by Chris Black At least we know the State Department is in good hands. These people are on the ball. They don’t even really care about nuclear war, because it won’t make a difference because people are refusing to eat bugs to change the weather.

by Chris Black They’re desperately coping with losing the war. 'I’m not allowed to do anything inside #Russia. Why? Because #Putin will use #nuclear weapons? The kids who are dying don’t care'https://t.co/1rVCVM8K8f#Ukraine commander to who #NATO is sending long range missiles & F-16s thinks he has the right to attack civilians in #Russia — Pete …
by Chris Black Wow, edgy take, Elon. Dude, you’re like Captain Obvious. The flower of Ukrainian and Russian youth have been dying in trenches for a long time with almost no territorial gains.

by Chris Black Yeah. Obviously. Two more weeks. Of course, this won’t work long term – but they are all trying to get as much money as possible while the faucet is still on. At this point, the Ukraine has ceased their attacks. The defensive line of the Russians has not moved at all. RT: …

Guest Post by Simon Black from Sovereign Man: Paris. Such a romantic city. Sip cafe at a sidewalk bistro, while you take in the wafting smell of burning rubber from the street fires. Take a picture with the Eiffel Tower, as you dodge incoming tear-gas canisters. Enjoy the ambiance as you stroll the alleys between …
