It looks like Bakhmut has fallen. Are we even closer to WW3 now?
Tri-Valley Cares needs to be on this if they aren't already. We need to make sure that NNSA and LLNL does not make good on promises to pursue such stupid ideas as doing Plutonium experiments on NIF. The stupidity arises from the fact that a huge population is placed at risk in the short and long term. Why do this kind of experiment in a heavily populated area? Only a moron would push that kind of imbecile area. Do it somewhere else in the god forsaken hills of Los Alamos. Why should the communities in the Bay Area be subjected to such increased risk just because the lab's NIF has failed twice and is trying the Hail Mary pass of doing an SNM experiment just to justify their existence? Those Laser EoS techniques and the people analyzing the raw data are all just BAD anyways. You know what comes next after they do the experiment. They'll figure out that they need larger samples. More risk for the local population. Stop this imbecilic pursuit. They wan...

Agreed Putin is already defeated he was beaten year ago.
In any case you are correct that if Russia is deleted that NATO will experience a much-needed revival and resurgence, and landmark growth. The issue is defeating Russia and if can be done with no American or NATO lives lost that would be the best option.
Hey if we can pull it off by killing a few millions Ukrainians or Russians great, I am all for it. Heck I am for if only 10-50k Americans have to die. But be clear I am for the American Empire and for defeating China in the long run, I could care less about Ukrainians.
One has to be honest about our involvement with Russia and Ukraine, I can tell you this no in at the higher levels gives a dam about Ukrainians lives.
If you have some issue with this the ask yourself this, did the US care about Vietnam lives, Iraq lives, or Afgan lives? No our involvement in in Ukrainian is just the same as our foreign interventions has been about in the last 75 years. It is about defending or expanding the American Empire. Defeating dictatorships has nothing to do with it as we will defend any dictator if they work for us.
Look I get that that most people reading this blog have no knowledge of US history. Has no idea when ww2 ended, what the cold war was, American foreign interventions, Russian history or even the basics of world history but I would expect that even the most uneducated person under 50 has to have some doubts about the "defending democracy against evil". These people had to have lived through 9-11, Iraq and Afghanistan and must smell a rat.
To be clear I have no issue with defeating Russia killing millions of Ukrainians, Iraqis or any other people for the goal of preserving or expanding the American Empire I just have a problem with guys lie 5.25 PM being so utterly naive to what is going on.
On Monday, Yevgeny Prigozhin, founder of the Wagner paramilitary group that spearheaded Russia’s campaign in Bakhmut, said all of his forces would leave the city by June 1 and urged the Russian Defense Ministry to find units to replace them. “If there’s not enough manpower in the Defense Ministry, we have thousands of generals,” he said, continuing his war of words with the military top brass. “Create one regiment under a general, give them arms, and everything will be fine.”
Actually, this isn't such a bad idea. The labs complain about a talent shortage, but there are thousands of highly paid managers that could certainly do the job themself, no?
This is actually been discussed for some time many of the old former Soviet Union types that worked at the labs have pointed out that over time the labs look more and more like how the Soviet Union operated in terms of crazy bureaucracies and ineffectiveness. In academics they did not such crazy bureaucracies but now many of the colleagues in academics who grew up in Eastern Europe in Russia have now said the politics is increasing looking like the Soviet times, where one gets "canceled" for saying the wrong thing, there are slogans, mantras, and leaders one must praise and and decent is swiftly punished. You have to start saying you also believe in absurd things that go against science, something that was common in the Soviet times. Even the idea of misinformation being anything other than from the elite
is something out of those times. More odd is you are seeing more and more professors attacking capitalism and freedom of speech. It is almost as if the Russians may have won the cold war. It is interesting seeing numerous professor from Russia and Eastern Europe saying "look we have seen this all before".
We will destroy the planet in order to save it. Indivisible European/Asian security is a euphemism for global war.
Russia will be defeated.
