News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 26 [587]

How about: Putin - a CIA agent, ready to seek asylum in Ukraine...

This!

This is a genius title. This should earn AT LEAST 100 million views.

ChatGPT tells me that 100M views should generate in the range of $300-500,000 for the creator @ $0.003-0005 per view.

The video should have the appropriate looking thumbnail and title, as I showed you above.

Once the video actually starts, it should be you sitting behind a desk, giving a forceful lecture on transgenders in women's sports. Throughout the video, always promise that this all ties back to Ukraine, and that at the end of the video "it will be clear to all". Never actually get to the subject of Ukraine. Thank viewers and ask to subscribe.

Followed by epic music and Novichok logo.

With all these true videos

I hate you Milo.

Why?

Because you finally forced me to watch one of your videos, and I now feel that my IQ has dropped 40 points in the process.

-//-

After having my brain raped by your video, I decided to see what this "Business Basics" YouTube channel was all about...

True enough, they actually published some "business" videos early on - exactly two to be precise. These gathered some several thousand views.

Then they published a third video with the title of "China Is In Trouble" (4 years ago). This video got 2.1 million views.

Immediately, the geniuses in charge of this channel smelled where the money is and changed their entire approach. Over the next two years they released only China-focused videos for the Milos of the world.

Every single video forecasted imminent doom for China (see screenshot below). The video titles are great: "China Has Fallen", "CCP Fall in 47 Days", "Bankrupt in 6 Months", "No More Water", "No Births in 3 Months", "China is Finished", "Xi Jingping is Done", and so on, and so forth.

After two years - seemingly even their viewers began to realize that something is wrong. The channel had been predicting for two years that China was about to implode, and reality was frustratingly slow to catch up.

What if we lose our Milos? What if the Milos catch on to our game, and realize that we have been spoon feeding them sh*t while we rack up advertising revenue?

They needed to take action, and they needed to do so quickly.... They shifted their attention first to the EU, with videos like "France is Gone" and "Italy is About To Disappear From The Map", and then on to India ("India is Done"). These did well, but not as well as they needed to.

Finally - they hit the goldmine of Milos with Russia, and that has been their bread and butter for the last 18 months.

In total, this channel has published 705 videos to-date - and every single one of them with an apocalyptic title and a thumbnail made for children.

-//-

Milo - why do you enjoy getting f*cked in the ass so much by Bangladeshi YouTubers?

Poor old Russia....... I feel no sympathy for these animals......

I always wondered for whom these videos are made...

Does not the over-the-top "thumbnail" give you any pause, or the absolutely "clickbait" titles?

These content creators prey on your naïveté and your good nature. They don't believe for a minute the things they publish, but they know you will gobble it up regardless!

-//-

I understand why you support Ukraine, and don't fault you for it - but support does not mean blindly embracing an optimistic narrative.

If anything, this hurts Ukraine.

All of Ukrainian society right now is hugely pessimistic - as negative developments on the front layer onto the greatest corruption scandal in the nation's history. Had they met a Miloslaw like you - they would likelier punch you in the face than thank you.

Giving infinite credit to Zelensky and team does not mean supporting Ukraine.

News / Poland Sports News - part 2 [91]

Have you seen men wrestling? Disgusting...

Sometimes you say really unexpected things.

You're a self professed body builder, go hiking often, and are generally the healthiest person your age that I know of - but you find wrestling "disgusting".

At the same time, you can seemingly go on and on and on, about how beautiful you think a Corvette is.

You often talk about how you found this or that Russian piece of music "beautiful".

-//-

One almost gets the sense that you are some kind of aesthete, who only masquerades here as a "down to earth American", but is in reality a NYC-esque snob.

You have a very finely tuned sense of aesthetics.

You don't like men wrestling. You don't like to watch men eat...

Very interesting fellow you are.

Maybe in another life you would be not an engineer but a sculptor or painter?

let's have this war already and get it over with.

This is how an outside observer can say that the people of Ukraine and Poland are different...

You are still on the other side of the Rubicon, thinking this beast is something you can manage.

Nobody can manage it. Once it is out of its cage, the first thing it does is eat its parents. As proof - witness the cemeteries in Ukraine and Russia filled by ultras, skinheads, and every flavor of nationalist.

The people that wanted these wars - are dead. Their bosses are alive, but feeling much less confident than earlier.

War does not care about your ideas, and beliefs. The God of War wants sacrifice at his altar. The blood of patriots is always good.

The sanctions are because Cuba stole hundreds of billions in American investment

Hundreds of billions?

You sure it wasn't some sugar plantations, fruit farms, casinos, and rum distilleries?

Americans turned it into a whorehouse.

@Bratwurst Boy

All that is discussed in "rumors", in different circles in Moscow and St. Petersburg and elsewhere - is Putin's:

1) Girlfriend

2) His kids from her

3) What his daughters are up to

4) What his in-laws are up to

To understand what is going with Putin's health, you need a different source.

And if your inly fall back is what Americans did 20 years ago (and in many cases those guilty have been imprisoned), then that is so lame.

America maintains a military presence in Iraq, which is under negotiation with the current government.

Show me how many were imprisoned? More than I can count on one hand?

-//-

You are an idiot if you think Russia's invasion of Ukraine happened in a vacuum.

America broke every single rule we had mutually participated in drafting.

Even Chirac and Schroeder took our side in that instance - and America punished France and Germany for not joining Iraq with various ludicrous punishments.

We spoke for years, about how their trampling of our rights and our veto - was gonna lead to bad places.

They undermined the entire post-1945 system with their feeling of impunity and omnipotence.

Now when somebody else is ******** on the UN Charter... suddenly - those same apologists are up in arms.

Hey Bobko, you have more info about Putin's health?

Yes, I reviewed his stool samples just this Tuesday, and am working on a skin biopsy as we speak. My conclusion is that Vladimir Vladimirovich is in great health!

Seriously - why do you think I would know anything about this? Ahaha.

They are still punishing them for what Castro did.

What did he do?

News / Poland's aid to Ukraine if Russia invades - part 26 [587]

you are referring to the way the US treated terrorists which I agree was unacceptable

"To the way they treated terrorists..." - do you listen to yourself?

Imagine 10 bearded US Rangers show up outside your apartment at 1 AM. 6 foot, bearded dudes from West Virginia and Mississippi - breaking your door down with a ram - waking up your kids.

Put you on the floor, splay your legs, put your hands behind your back. An American boot on your neck... as someone ruffles through your daughter's clothes and overturns your son's crib.

All because some anonymous informant at the local market, told somebody that you've been buying propane tanks and electrical switches.

-//-

That's the reality in 99% of incidents that took place.

Stick your terrorists up your ass.

Writing this list, really made me realize how amnesiac people are.

I'm sure CMS was arguing the things he was arguing vis a vis America in good faith. That is - he forgot all those bad things that happened, or he never really cared to begin with - since they happened to poor brown people in a far away place.

This gives me hope that Russia's sins will also be quickly washed away. Sanctions removed, pipelines relaunched, and so on and so forth.

Emotional people say - "the Ukrainians will hate you for a minimum of 2-3 generations" - I don't think this is true.

Because however ****** up the US is right now, that would never happen

America:

1) Had the CIA operate "Black Sites" in countries such as Poland and Romania, where prisoners were held outside any legal process, and incommunicado for years. There, the noble Polish security forces applied "enhanced interrogation techniques" against the detainees.

Internal CIA documents admit some detainees were wrongly imprisoned, but held for years regardless.

2) When Polish torture was not brutal enough, the US would use "extraordinary rendition" of suspects to foreign intelligence services - like Egypt, Syria, Jordan, and Morocco - whose interrogation methods the U.S. deliberately relied upon. People rarely emerged alive from these ordeals, but when they did - it was often emaciated and with missing fingernails.

3) The US ran what effectively amounted to death camps in the Iraqi and Afghan prison systems (Abu Ghraib most prominent example). Go and read for yourself if you have a strong stomach.

4) Through "kill lists" and "disposition matrices" (which were drafted without any judicial oversight, and the standards of evidence for which were classified) the United States killed tens of thousands of people around the world using drones. Among them, hundreds, if not thousands of innocents. From Yemeni wedding parties, to British journalists.

5) US solders massacred (Haditha Massacre), raped (Mahmudiya Murder-Rape), and looted the people of Iraq (billions missing under Coalition Provisional Authority).

6) Blackwater was created, which became a footprint for Wagner. At the Nissour Square Massacre, Blackwater contractors killed 17 Iraqi civilians in broad daylight. Presidential pardons were granted to each member of that team.

7) Oh and I forgot to mention, that while the United States prosecuted its war on terror - it became best buddies with dictators in places like Uzbekistan, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, etc. Providing those governments with sophisticated surveillance tools, and tools of repression, which were immediately used against political opponents.

In contrast to the rusnigger embarassment in Ukraine, Venezuela will be conquered within 24 hours of the start of the war

Poles are now boasting about America's ability to end Maduro?

Not a good look... to take pride in something you have absolutely nothing to do with. A bit pathetic, really.

Also, not sure if Ukrainians would appreciate the comparison to Venezuela, however well intended....

One used to build aircraft carriers and ICBMs, while the other exported crude oil and bananas.

-//-

A more accurate comparison, would be if America invaded Spain (still a less industrialized country than Ukraine, but I'm nice) - and then China, Russia, and Brazil proceeded to pump it full of weapons.

@Novichok
Three possible scenarios:

1) It will kill us all. In this scenario, global GDP goes to zero. No humans = no economy.

2) It will lead to a growth in labor productivity, such, that levels will reach the average for the 20th century. The economy will expand significantly, but not without pain for the displaced.

3) The end of scarcity. Nobody has to work anymore, and everything is available in abundance.

they get off on misery and poverty so they should get lots of it.

In normal life, the mind is scattered, as you are pulled in a dozen different directions by your ambitions, needs, and anxieties.

Hardship, on the other hand, collapses all this nonsense into a single beam. That is:

1) Survivial

2) Meaning

3) What you truly value

4) Who stands by you

know people who've been trying for years to get a house and every offer gets swept up by Blackrock or similar

Lending to you, is a good deal more risky than lending to Blackrock.

Blackrock's balance sheet, is a good bit more solid than your family finances...

-//-

Blame the Fed. Blame the Treasury.

Their actions led to this place, where big commercial banks (Chase, Citi, BofA, Wells, etc) hate to lend to average Homo Sapiens, and instead prefer T bonds, institutional lending, and private credit exposure.

If a bank can earn 4-5% interest on a risk free Treasury with ZERO CAPITAL COST, the incentive to lend to households @ 7-8% goes to f*cking zero, once you calculate return on equity net of capital charges.

Bank of America, or any other bulge bracket bank, pretty much doesn't care if you drop dead and die - their business no longer depends on your silly mortgage or auto borrowing.

-//-

Bottom line - you can lend to the US government - at zero risk - and print money out of thin air...

... or you can lend to Joe Six Pack to buy a house, which he will default on in 4 years when AI finally and conclusively kills his job.

Who would you rather lend to? Uncle Sam, or tomorrow's recipient of Universal Basic Income?

It's obvious Poland knew about the sabotage.

Bro - you are one month late with these posts.

I've been telling everyone here that Ukraine attacked Germany's infrastructure... that the investigation, and then the courts concluded this was the case beyond a shred of doubt...

Nobody cares.

We are living through war time. Exploding critical infrastructure is apparently par for the course.

This is important parameter for a kamikaze drone with lifetime limited by charge of onboard battery.

Shhhhhh!

Let CMS buy 10 Italian drones instead of 1,000 Russian ones, and then we can ask him later how well that decision played out.

When the enemy's ego is so inflated, we should only be encouraging it - and not giving them reason to become alert.

wrong with economic statistics if they show that Russia is poorer than Romania (per capita) and that Italy has bigger economy than Russia.

Correct nominally - wrong (by an enormous margin) in terms of purchasing power and industrial capacity.

Industrially - we live on the bones of the wildest industrial behemoth in history.

So it is to some extent surprising when people say: "How do they produce more shells than Europe and America combined?", "How are these alcoholics producing 100,000 drones per month?"

Russia is an industrial giant, and an economic dwarf at the same time.
