Thoughts on Ukraine, Part 8: Multi-Domain Operations
Part 8 looks at holistic approach to Multi-Domain Operations. These include the military, diplomatic, and financial measures countries and corporations are taking against Russia.

God’s Army vs the Transhumanists
God’s going to have to recast the source-of-all-evil adulteress as a transhumanist. He must have known this day was coming and used the adulteress as symbolic of anything that presents an ideal world that leads you farther from God. At least the seductress was human with longings, dreams, and weaknesses like all of us. Maybe …
Road Trip!
When it comes to taking a road trip, do you plan all of the details ahead of time, or are you more likely to figure it out when you get to your destination? What was Jesus’ final road trip?
Thoughts on Ukraine, Part 7: The Joint Corporatist Scenario
Part 7 looks at the Joint Russia-China corporatist scenario. At what point would the differences rupture cooperation? In the event of a rupture, would one turn on the other? Could China buy up Russian companies and co-opt the interests of the kleptocrats or are their cultures and motives too dissimilar?
One thing is clear, there are stresses in the mix. Lukoil shines a spotlight on them.
Is Putin losing his grip if LukOil feels like they can criticize his strategy and call for an end to it?

The Very Woke and Very Dangerous Pentagon
When you have spare time on your hands, it’s easy to waste that time doing fun things, unimportant things, nonconsequential things.

Psaki: White House Is ‘Deeply Concerned’ About Threat to Freedom of Speech in Russia
The only difference between American and Russian censorship is that, because of the First Amendment, the U.S. government is forced to be more subtle. In Russia, censorship is expected. In America, it must be obscured.
Donald Trump Invaded The Capitol This Week!!
Despite the best efforts of the Democrats to keep him out: building fences, beefing up the security forces, keeping hundreds of innocent Americans in prison as a warning that Congress was serious about keeping the Donald at bay, he showed up anyway. It was as masterful escapade, showing up disguised as Joe Biden

More devastating political parody from the acerbic keyboard of Albert Constantine Jr.
How do you say “Constitution” in Russian?
This is just a little of their Constitution, which I don’t think it’s worth the paper it is printed on. The Russian people most of the time are kept out of the loop of what their Government (Putin) is doing.

Thoughts on Ukraine, Part 6: Mutual Destruction?
The attack on the Ukrainian nuclear plant was a risk. If the strike damaged the containment vessel, it could have unleashed nuclear radiation. That got me thinking about the broader risks of destruction.
• Russian destroys Ukrainian cities and infrastructure trying to take it. More adventures like the nuclear plant could do it.
• Oligarchs in Russia see both a crisis and an opportunity and arrest/kill Putin and take control and force a “favorable” settlement with Ukraine that lets the oligarchs buy Ukrainian assets and resources.
• The west’s sanctions cripple the west and the Russians, leaving an opportunity for the Chinese to go after both. Perhaps they are crocodile watching the two snakes fight it out to take them both.

Is Russia-Putin-Threatening to Use Nuclear Weapons-Weapons of Mass Destruction-in Ukraine? And We Were Told the Bad Orange Man was Gonna Cause This!
Doesn’t it seem strange that with all the hysteria over war mongering politicians and presidents over the past 60 years-including the egregious treatment of candidates like Barry Goldwater-recall the LBJ political cartoon of Daisy Girl happily holding flowers on a sunny day when a nuclear detonation suddenly reflects in her eyes (two additional great candidate …
