War

[greyfader]

Shut up clowns and buy your VPN to inform yourself, brain zombie gang of Icmag lol may soon you'll learn to grow pure sat to exorcise yourself.

i was smoking pure sativas before you were born, romsy! i was 27 when you were born. i started at age 15 and lived in san francisco during the mid and late 60's. think about it.

we got all kinds of weed from everywhere, hashish too.

why are you on such a trip? is your ego so fragile that you must believe that you are some kind of sativa guru?

it's really funny to me that you think you are higher than everyone else just because you smoke a little bit of weed.

i can smoke anything all day long and just enjoy it. no cannabis is too strong! i have grown pure sats and high thcv hybrids that rip you good.

if you really want to expand your consciousness try a 2000 mg dose of owsley's finest.

i did, maybe 75 times or so.

Who made the acid for the Grateful Dead?

Owsley Stanley

Owsley Stanley, the prodigiously gifted applied chemist to the stars, who made LSD in quantity for the Grateful Dead, the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Ken Kesey and other avatars of the psychedelic '60s,

i went to a lot of dead concerts and there was always acid being given out to the crowd.

i was a distributor of his acid. briefcases with thousands of hits. i had a network selling for me all over the bay area.

and then i supplied clients all over the US.

you call yourself aware. yet you are full of ego, calling yourself a magus and saying that you are genetically and culturally better equipped to identify and select sativa cultivars than anyone else. a real cannabis magician, right?

also, you're a sex god who's only living alone so that he can satisfy more women? when in reality you are married to your fist!

you are one of the least aware and least "high" people i have talked to on icmag in the last 16 years.

you really are on a trip and it's not good advertising for your little seed business.

you are making yourself look like an idiot.

and, what the fuck does this mean? you put it on here to say something but no one understands what the fuck you are talking about so maybe you could take time to explain. that is, if you expect any credibility at all.

"proto West, wild wild West that hate my mother and father"

do you believe in democracy?

 

[RobFromTX]

I agree. Arguing about war is one thing but leave sativas out of it before someone gets their feelings hurt

 

[mean mr.mustard]

Being at war is a status of explicit declaration thereof.

Russia invaded Ukraine.

The United States Congress has not declared war, nor has Russia declared war on the US.

"Looks like" and "has been made to look like" or "propaganda suggests" does not constitute war.

 

[mean mr.mustard]

If this is what NOT being at war looks like - what does being at war look like ?

* Blowing up Pipelines
* Seeding Senior Terrorists (CIA) - with satellite info - among proxy forces (Ukraine)
* Providing $10+ Billion worth of military arms to proxy forces.
* Providing Radiological weapons (Dirty Bombs) to proxy forces.

That's EXACTLY what being at war looks like.

At no point did you say that the US has actually done any of those things, but the insinuation is strong...

Russia just requested a UN investigation for the pipeline explosion. If you have all of the evidence you could save everyone in the investigation a lot of time and money.

The fact that you can't refer to Ukraine as anything but "proxy forces" suggests that you have been stuffing so much propaganda so far into your head for so long that it just tumbles out of your mouth now.

Let's get some of your evidence about this dirty bomb business on the table, shall we?

 

[entropical]

your figures are a little off!

You think? Because that is under simulated combat conditions, and under real combat the effective engagement is even lower.

To be fair, Russia never declared war on Ukraine. They just said they are starting the invasion as a "special military operation". War just sounds so negative and aggressive, and you can´t pose as the good guys if you declare and start a war. It fits the bullshit Russian agenda of taking care of Nazis and whatever.
Also it downplays the whole thing, a war traditionally has at least two sides, two nations fighting.
Military operation is way less specific and daunting, because it can be anything a military does. Like practice. We´re just doing some shit here, walk away, not a big deal!

And it´s kinda old school and gentlemanly, a formal declaration of war that is.
Putin, he puts the dick in dictator.

 

[entropical]

No you didn't answer.

You danced around the question but did not answer it.

I hear more people say that Biden is illegitimate than I hear people say it about Lukashenko. Or did you have some other reason than your favourite american propaganda concerning Belarus? Plus Lukashenko got over 80 percent of the vote so Biden is at least more illegitimate, unless he scored better points in the vote?

All western weapons are shit, ukrainians can't nothing but die, yet somehow 1143 visually confirmed destroyed russian tanks on Oryx.

You still can't pull it off.

That's not an answer.

Try harder maybe.

I understand that part.

I was trying to clear up the misconception that the US is fighting this "conflict".

Response to UK rosbeef :

Russia to deploy tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus, Vladimir Putin announces​

by RT France

In response to London's supply of depleted uranium shells to kyiv, Russia plans to deploy tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus. Vladimir Putin recalled that Washington did the same with its allies.

Russia will deploy tactical nuclear weapons on the territory of Belarus, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced on March 25.

« The reason for this is the statement of the British Deputy Minister of Defense that his country was going to supply depleted uranium shells to Ukraine “, argued the head of state. However, the Russian President added that “ even outside the context of these events “, his Belarusian counterpart Alexander Lukashenko raised “ since a long time » the question of the deployment of Russian tactical nuclear weapons on the territory of Belarus.

In addition, Vladimir Putin made a point of emphasizing that this deployment of weapons was nothing new at the global level: “ There's nothing new here either. First of all, the United States has been doing it for decades. They long ago deployed tactical nuclear weapons on the territory of their allies, NATO countries in Europe, in six countries ". Departing from this, Moscow and Minsk agreed “ to do the same “, in the words of Vladimir Putin, “ without violating [their] international non-proliferation obligations ».

« From April 3, we start training the crews. And on July 1, we will complete the construction of a special warehouse for tactical nuclear weapons on the territory of Belarus “, specified the Russian leader.

On March 20, the British army confirmed that it was delivering shells containing depleted uranium to kyiv. " This ammunition is very effective in destroying modern tanks and armored vehicles said Deputy Defense Minister Annabel Goldie, adding that they could be used by tanks Challenger 2 which are going to be supplied to the Ukrainian army.

A defensive Russian nuclear doctrine​

Since the launch of Russian military operation in Ukraine – which kyiv and its allies denounce as a war of invasion – senior Russian officials have repeatedly recalled that their country's nuclear doctrine was geared towards its protection.

Thus, at the beginning of October, the head of russian diplomacy pointed out that Russia's nuclear deterrence policy had an exclusively defensive character ". A few months earlier, at the end of March, the Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov asserted that Russia would use nuclear weapons in Ukraine only in the event of " existential threat against Russia.

Chinese peace between Tehran and Riyadh extends to Damascus. And Egypt is moving too​

by Enrico Toselli

As Schlein and Meloni face off for the coveted title of Biden's most loyal butler, geopolitical repositioning intensifies in the Mediterranean. Beijing's move that led to the incredible rapprochement between Iran and Saudi Arabia is bearing rapid and increasingly widespread fruit. Because the domino effect also concerns Syria, where it is precisely Saudi Arabia that will resume its diplomatic headquarters. And Riyadh's gesture will pave the way for the reintegration of Damascus into the context of the Arab world from which Syria had been excluded.

But Egypt is also moving, which, after the agreement with Russia on the dedollarization of trade, is in the process of concluding similar agreements with China and India. Signals obviously ignored by the clerics of Italian disinformation (ndt: and European). At the same time, the American banking system is experiencing difficulties which are also affecting Switzerland. It's not really the best way to convince the world to accept the domination of Washington and Wall Street.

Meanwhile, Tehran and Baghdad, to celebrate with dignity the 20th anniversary of the Anglo-American invasion, agree to strengthen their collaboration in an anti-Kurdish function. In theory it is against Kurdish terrorism, in practice it is against the use of Kurds by the United States. The Turks, who are called to vote in May, also fully agree on this point.

Precisely, the elections in Turkey reveal the paradoxical situations. Erdogan, who is particularly hated by the US administration for his numerous about-faces and for not having adhered to the sanctions against Moscow, in recent weeks has slowed down his cooperation initiatives with Russia. A cooling of relations to please Washington, which supports rival candidate Kilicdaroglu, in the lead in the polls. So what does Kilicdaroglu do? He announces that he will strengthen cooperation with Moscow if he wins.

Statements in an election campaign, as we know, are of very little value (in Italy, someone had even promised a naval blockade to prevent the arrival of illegal immigrants), but they are interesting for gauging moods and trends. And, for the moment, the tendency is to completely ignore the “Mattei plan” which so enthusiastically enthused the Italian ministers. Apart from Tunisia, in need of money, wherever it comes from and without compensation, the rest of the Mediterranean, the Near East and sub-Saharan Africa are superbly unaware of the Italian project. But it is better to avoid interrupting the sleep of Tajani, Crosetto and Lady Garbatella (= nickname of Giorgia Meloni, ndt).

China and the geopolitical chessboard​

by Prof. Michel Chossudovsky et Caroline Mailloux

The US-NATO confrontation directed against the People's Republic of China consists of the militarization of the South China Sea as well as the strengthening of the American military presence in East and Southeast Asia.

Washington also intends to undermine Beijing's strategic alliance with Russia that developed following the death of Deng Xiaoping in 1997.

In many ways, Deng Xiaoping acted in the name of American strategic interests. During his tenure, the People's Liberation Army had entered into a military cooperation agreement with the Pentagon. Washington's intention was to create and maintain divisions between Russia and China.

US arms sales to China began in the mid-1980s under the Reagan administration:

Congressional sources described the sale as a milestone in what has been a slowly developing military relationship between the United States and China, and predicted it would facilitate further, far larger military sales to Beijing, in discussion for a long time. (WP, September 19, 1985)

The leadership of the People's Republic of China (PRC) which succeeded Deng Xiaoping coincided with major political changes in Russia. Vladimir Putin succeeded to Boris Yeltsin in 1999. Yeltsin was an instrument of the United States, which did not oppose (according to declassified documents) to the extension of NATO to the Russian border.

THEShanghai Cooperation Organization (OCS) was created in 2001. Geopolitical relations have evolved into a strategic alliance between Russia and China.

The Taiwan Question​

What the media fail to mention is that Taiwan has trade and investment relations with the PRC. Beijing has no intention or interest in invading Taiwan.

Since the 1980s, Taiwan has played a key role in the development of China's export economy.

Washington's unspoken goal is not to protect Taiwan, but rather to hinder China's economic partnership with Taiwanese investors, as well as destabilize China's high-tech development.

Made in China (Made in China)​

Confrontation with China could lead to the paralysis of the Made in China export economy which in the current environment has underpinned retail consumption around the world in virtually every major category of consumer goods.

Since the 1980s, importing from China has become a highly profitable multi-billion dollar operation. Made in China imports are a source of enormous profits and wealth in the United States. Consumer goods imported from China's low-wage economy often retail for more than ten times the cost of production.

In the frame of an economic development process based on imports, GDP increases without the need to engage in productive activities. The relocation of manufacturing production and assembly to low-wage countries (cheap labor) has led to the decline of industrial production in many developed countries, including the United States.

Geopolitical confrontation, including U.S. militarization and threat to China, could lead to destabilization of global trade in "Made in China" consumer goods, with devastating consequences, including global shortages of essential consumer goods, associated with underlying inflationary pressures.

These questions are addressed in the interview with the professor Michael Chossudovsky.

Pure sativas take too long and yield wispy buds and the high isn't enjoyable for me most of the time.

The only thing pure sativa exorcises is time that can be spent flowering yield that's easy to trim and not uncomfortable to smoke.

I recall asking you exactly what gets you so giddy about Russian aggression...

Did you want to weigh in on that, or maybe just tell me to shut up and grow strains that don't suit my taste??

Diplomatic war at a distance between Beijing and Washington​

by Mehdi Messaoudi

Long discreet, Chinese diplomacy is gaining points and is in the process of achieving major successes on the international scene, consequently becoming a key player in the settlement of conflicts whose sponsors are the West and their leader Uncle Sam. .

The latest Chinese success to date is that allowing Iran and Saudi Arabia to renew their diplomatic relations in anticipation of a forthcoming summit in Beijing bringing together Iran and the States of the GCC Gulf Cooperation Council, knowing that Tehran and Ryad are candidates who are applying for membership of BRICS, a group supposed to have dethroned the G7.

This success built, in total discretion, has enabled China to become a destination of choice for Westerners, with a view to resolving the Ukrainian conflict, the negative repercussions of which on the West, which has become the weather vane of the United States of America, are beginning to be felt among the peoples of Europe, whose economies are increasingly threatened with collapse in the wake of runaway inflation, and fluctuating financial markets. Long the subject of criticism from the G7, which accuses it of supporting Russia, China is today increasingly called upon to put an end to the Ukrainian conflict, which will be the harbinger of a new multipolar world order. .

It is with this in mind that French President Emmanuel Macron and President of the European Union Commission Ursula Von Der Leyen will make a “State visit” to China from April 5 to 8, in order in particular to “ work "with Xi Jinping" in the direction of a return to peace " in Ukraine. A visit which comes successively after that made by the German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, and that which the President of the Spanish Council Pedro Sanchez must make in Beijing. The Chinese president will also have to welcome next Sunday, the Brazilian president Lula Da Silva, who has just made a visit to the USA, where he had had talks with his American counterpart Joe Biden, on the means of ending the Ukrainian conflict. It should be noted that the Brazilian president intends to propose to his Chinese counterpart, a strategic partner within the BRICS, a common peace plan to put an end to military hostilities in Ukraine.

In the same context, it should be remembered that Xi Jinping, who went to Moscow this week, enjoys the support of Russia regarding the peace initiative proposed by Beijing, and which is criticized by Washington. The Chinese breakthrough prompted a swift reaction from Washington.

The wider implications of the commitment of the two "dear friends" Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping to shape a new world order and to sign numerous economic, technological and strategic cooperation pacts are more important. It is in these terms that to Reuters made its headline on Wednesday…” Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin pledged to shape a new world order, as the Chinese leader leaves Moscow ».

Xi Jinping: “ We are witnessing a change that has not happened for 100 years and we are driving this change ". Cheese fries : " I agree. »

Syria: 20 rockets fired at two US bases​

Following the American airstrikes carried out on Friday, March 24, against civilian targets in Syria, the American bases located not far from the Al-Omar oil and gas field of Conoco, in the governorate of Deir ez-Zor, in the East Syrians were targeted by missile strikes, Al-Alam news channel reported.

The same source indicated the presence of American combat helicopters above the Conoco gas field after the rocket attacks.

An American official confirmed on the microphone of the Qatari news channel Al-Jazeera that one of the American bases located in eastern Syria had been the target of eight rockets.

« At least one American was injured as a result of the attacke,” acknowledged the US official, adding that Washington was assessing the extent of the damage caused by the projectiles.

US forces launched a deadly attack on Friday, March 24 against civilian targets based in Deir ez-Zor.

Local Syrian sources reported that US fighters struck two areas in Deir ez-Zor. The Pentagon has confirmed US raids in eastern Syria, attacks that have caused the death of a number of Syrian soldiers.

A military source in Syria told Press TV that the Resistance groups would reserve the right to retaliate against the American attack and that they would take reciprocal measures.

US forces carried out airstrikes in eastern Syria on Thursday (March 23) after a drone attack killed an American contractor and injured another. Five other American soldiers perished in this drone attack, confirms the Pentagon.

The United States and its allies invaded Syria in 2014 under the guise of fighting Daesh. This terrorist group had appeared when Washington ran out of excuses to extend its regional interference or enlarge it.

US forces maintain their illegal presence on Syrian territory, although Damascus and its allies defeated Daesh in late 2017.

National embarrassment: Saudi TV mocks Biden in skit

by Jade

If there was still any doubt that Joe Biden has made America the laughing stock of the world, just watch this clip from Saudi TV.

Saudi Arabia's MBC channel depicted Biden reaching out to shake a non-existent person's hand, getting lost on stage and falling on the steps of Air Force One, with an equally helpless Kamala Harris watching.

I think you're distracting yourself...

There's people that are talking to you.... would you like to respond?

If you want your propaganda feed to hold some water, it'd behoove you to reply.

Some people still desire actual communication over regurgitated bullshit.

I'm not concerned about my question as much as I am interested in greyfader's questions.

But he did ask first, so if you want to take the time to get back to me as well I will appreciate it as will the rest of the people standing by for your bandwidth choking propaSPAMda I'm sure.

1997 - Biden to the Atlantic Council

"The Russians said to me, 'If you keep expanding NATO, we'll make friends with China'
I almost laughed, I had a hard time containing myself, I replied: 'Good luck! If it doesn't work with China, try Iran."
