The Brink of War?

[cdnmatt]

Georgia just announced what country will not support sanctions against Russia. Nobody likes nationalists besides nationalists.

Right, and I'm sure their decision has nothing to do with them watching Ukraine get invaded just now.

Is there a film about the 1933 famine that Stalin imposed on Ukraine?

Meh, kind of mundane. However, here's one where Stalin shoved 6000 political prisoners on what was dubbed "Cannibal Island" to farm for the Soviet Union though. It has a little more ooommpfff to it.

Evidently Georgia isn’t one of those “free” countries that Dodger so admires

Cannibalism apparently was a feature of the 1933 famine

Not since it’s run by a Russian oligarch

Speaking of Dodger and “free” countries, I see the loopy UK politician Nadine Dorries has called on the UK regulator to monitor the propaganda RT is broadcasting about Ukraine. What a wonderful way to show Russia that we in the West believe in freedom of speech - by threatening to censor a broadcaster we don’t like. That is exactly the position of goji and Dodger who want every member here whose posts they don’t like banned whereas Moses who belongs to (in their view to an “unfree nation) has dismissed their demands. I suppose the Mods will allow me to keep the words “loopy” and “Dodger” in the same sentence

At least it is free enough that there were huge protests in Georgia against the war, which would not be allowed in Russia, it seems.

Stalin was Georgian as I recall

The real surprise is watching the protests that are occurring around the World also being staged in Russia.

We've passed the brink...all the pieces on the board are frantically being moved...and one day, after we're all gone, the history books will show the end results. I hate missing the end of a suspenseful movie, but unfortunately the final chapter will take forever to write, and by the time it's complete, we'll all be dust.

Theres’s a profound thought
