Russia has Bought off Tucker Carlson...

...and Stroocks Books as well. Why else would Tucker say so many things that the Globalists don't like? Reader(s) of this blog know we are paid handsomely in 100 rubble bills for writing Russian misinformation at Inforos and Infobics.

Tucker Carlson asks why he/we/you/I should hate Vladimir Putin:

Why do Democrats want you to hate Putin? Has Putin shipped every middle class job in your town to Russia? Did he manufacture a worldwide pandemic that wrecked your business? Is he teaching your kids to embrace racial discrimination? Is he making fentanyl? Does he eat dogs? pic.twitter.com/xYEvapjbNT

How much of the Ukraine crisis for the Dems is about Trump? Dems think Putin tilted the 2016 election toward Trump. They think Trump colluded with Russia. They impeached Trump over his perfect phone call with Ukraine. Never mind that Trump isn't getting 10 percent from Ukraine like 'the big guy'. The United States is drifting into an economic crisis and possibly a shooting war because of the Dem's bizarre obsession. 

Russia's economy is about the size of Italy's. Russia's population is less than half that of the United States' and declining. Russia can project power into the Norwegian Sea and the Eastern Mediterranean and no further. Russia is no existential threat to the US.

Sometimes this blog wonders if younger reader(s) really know what the Cold War was like. There was constant tension and the threat of annihilation percolating beneath everyday life. There were two superpowers with massive stockpiles of nuclear weapons, armies facing off in Europe, constant air and naval confrontations. In 1985, Russia/USSR truly was a threat. Now? Well, Russia has started a border war with Ukraine. We yawn.

Wednesday Russia, Canadian Musician, and Sci Fi Round Up

Russia Today tells us that representatives from France, Germany, Russia, and Ukraine will be meeting today to discuss the Ukraine situation. Note the absence of the United States. Joe's off eating ice cream. The West is in a bad position here. France and Germany have different agendas, as Macron wants to assert French influence and whomever the German Chancellor is (we don't care, really) wants to keep Russian natural gas flowing to the Wolf's Lair. Well played, Putin. Well played indeed.

Semi-ironically we are still plugging away at our SAS raid chapter. Things are going well with lots of interesting openings. Operation Marsh-Warden.* [How are you able to get all this work done despite being alone with the kids, making dinner, taxing from home to Hebrew school and dance and dance and more dance?-Ed] I am among the best there is at what I do. Dad Score: Superior. 

Hmmmm...

The Baseball Writers Association of America has elected one player to the Hall of Fame this year, former Red Sock David Ortiz. Quite right. The man killed everyone, especially our own Yankees. Speaking of Yankee killers, the tossers in the Association didn't elect another former Red Sock, Diamondback and Philly Curt Schilling, who twice mowed down the Yankees to win a World Series ring. If you don't understand that Curt Schilling is a hall of famer, you should stop watching baseball and start watching something more appropriate, like Antiques Roadshow, Real Housewives, the Bachelorette or Fixer Upper. [You watch Fixer Upper-Ed] Yeah, but that's because Joanna Gaines is a total hottie.

The New York Post reports on actor Michael Rappaport's outrage at seeing blatant shoplifting in Manhattan. 'I can't believe I'm seeing this shit,' Rapaport exclaims in his annoying voice. Seriously, the math checks out, and scientists have concluded it's impossible to have a more annoying voice. Rappaport might not be able to believe what he's seeing but this blog believes. You voted for it, Mikey. You wanted Bill de Blasio. You asked for Bill de Blasio. And you deserved Bill de Blasio. And so far, Eric Adams don't impress us much. [Shania Twain?-Ed] Yeah, that's right.

Sticking with Canadian musicians... Neil Young [He's still alive?-Ed] I know right? He seems nice. Anyhoo, Neil Young has told Spotify that the streaming service can have Rogan or Young but not both. We find Young's terms acceptable. Seriously the last time he had a hit was...? Besides, say it with us...Southern man don't need him around, anyhow. Go back to Canada, shriveled up Boomer Dad.

What Will's watching, The Expanse, season-5. While flawed, season-5 is soooo much better than season-4, which sucked in ways this blog couldn't imagine something sucking. It just sucked. Bland, boring, someone give us another negative adjective that starts with a 'b'. There's some unnecessary melodrama in season-5, but overall plenty of character development, action, and tension. We look forward to season-6. 3/4. There will be another Book of Bobba Fett episode tonight. We're not optimistic. 

*That's a getable reference, but deep nonetheless.
