Bambu and Luee are always good for providing clear examples of how Putin and his fellow travelers do it.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-60559403

Ukraine goes unmentioned by many GOP top officials at CPAC. "CPAC 2022: US conservatives show little interest in Ukraine"

US conservatives are as usual counting on Russian money and cybercrime to stay afloat electorally.

Speaking of elections, and Conservatives [Australian Conservatives are not the same as US Conservatives]..........

James Morrow in the Daily Telegraph today [3/03/2022] 3rd March 2022, sums it up exactly.

The Coalition has a feather in the cap with the AUKUS agreement but, as national security becomes a hot election topic, it needs to have a future plan for all to see, James Morrow writes.

Coalition - Right

I too once met a girl in Central Park, but it is not much to remember. What I remember is the time John Wayne killed three men with a carbine as he was falling to the dusty street in Stagecoach, and the time the kitten found Orson Welles in the doorway in The Third Man.

United Nations

1 hour

"Human rights cannot be confiscated by dictators or erased by poverty. Nor are they a luxury that can be left for later. They are inescapable and powerful."

-- UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres at Human Rights Council.

As we protect the good human rights of all, then we too are protected. And as we provide basic food and a safe home and a good family doctor to all people then we too will have those same blessings.

Salute,

Bambu, this is far from over, Putin is not going to win. We cannot allow war criminals to win.

The Ukraine needs to be strong like Israel. And the Ukraine needs to start shooting missiles into Moscow. Take the fight to Putin. Let the people in Moscow know how the people of Ukraine feel because of Putin.

And we need to keep reaching out to the good people in Russia and we need to keep looking for the good people in Russia who we can support to overthrow Putin and put in a Junta.

Like they are saying, the Russian bear is trying to swallow a porcupine.

Salute,

Tony V.

Quick FYI on "impartial" southfront dot org:

....In May 2020, ANNA News was banned from YouTube for violating its terms of service. It was revealed that employees of ANNA also worked for Russian propaganda websites news-front.info and southfront.org, and that NewsFront had raised money for ANNA in 2014. Both ANNA News and southfront.org support separatist forces in Ukraine....

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANNA_News

Good lord, Capt Cargo.  You really are banking on the naivete you imagine exists here in the politics forum.

It's ALL propaganda Barton, don't be fooled. You have to able to reason out the bits of truth in each and that is the hard part of it. Free your mind, that's the first and most important step.
If you cannot distinguish between state sponsored deliberate propoganda and independent news sources with a point of you, you have a serious problem that makes everything you say suspect.

All of our media is state sponsored. Fools that can't see why this is true can continue to be fools. No skin off my ass. I have zero real issue with all that want to disagree with me. In fact, I welcome it as that is where real truth comes from young Steve. In the end, as they say, truth often hides in an ugly pool.

World Bank

1 Hour

Following the Russian invasion of Ukraine and hostilities against its people, the World Bank Group has stopped all its programs in Russia and Belarus with immediate effect.

Our statement: http://wrld.bg/CrFl50I8CRP

----------

Russia's whole economy is going to collapse and no one is going to save them. If they were good we can use our skills to save world economies, but if they are bad like Putin then we can use our skills to crash Putin.

There will be no help for Putin.

Salute,

"This interview is now over" says it all. The impartial BBC version of a shout down.

If the people from Ukraine come to Anaheim and seek to survive, then they need to know how it is here. You cannot get a job doing labor, there are many people to do labor, you need to get training and a licence such as becoming a Real Estate agent, or a licensed Contractor, etc.
 

And also, we have a huge number of tourists in Anaheim so you can work serving the tourists.

You can sell hot dogs to the tourists, or you can hire some beautiful young women to sell hot dogs for you, you can get a good cart for about five thousand dollars...

https://www.hotdogcartcompany.com/hot-dog-carts/

And food trucks are good too, and you can sell food to workers at construction sites, etc, and you can hire beautiful young women to work for you.

https://www.commercialtrucktrader.com/Anaheim-Food/trucks-for-sale

Hot dog cars, and food trucks, those are always a way to make money.

They can even sell hot dogs to the workers at Habitat For Humanity.

And Anaheim needs bicycle shops. Everyone is going green and everyone is getting into cycling.

In Elka, Nevada, the food trucks and hot dog carts can sell food to the students at the college. And so too in California, people can sell food to the students.

And night clubs are a good way to make money, but you need to have security guards.

In Battle Mountain they can have green houses and they can grow and sell flowers to the people of San Francisco. They can also raise food for the people of San Francisco, pigs, chickens, eggs, beef, etc. And they can butcher and process the meat to sell in San Francisco.

And Merced is a good town if you want to get a job picking strawberries, or whatever, Merced has a lot of jobs, and Merced will have a station on the California High Speed Rail System.

Also, in California, you can always make money selling sunglasses, and flip flops, etc.

We also have the wine country in California, and oranges, along with strawberries, etc, which all creates jobs for people.

And we need truck drivers and port workers.

Salute,

Tony V.
