Did Sarah Palin Say: 'I Can See Russia from My House'?
Vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin did not say 'I can see Russia from my house.' That line originated with an SNL spoof.

She did give me one or the largest PFDs I ever got.
I sent this to my brother. He said he could listen to the Russian spacecraft in orbit.RT has been talking about getting Alaska back off and on for years.
Alaska troops deploy to remote Shemya Island, less than 300 miles from Russia
Alaska Beacon reporter James Brooks says it coincides with Russia and China conducting joint military exercises in the Sea of Japan.alaskapublic.org
Interestingly we manned this island in the cold war. My brother did a tour there in the early 70's.
Oh, and Alaskans have one of highest gun ownerships in the USA.
Good luck Ivan!

Maybe we can have a cultural exchange, some American mui8sc?
Something for Putin if you could pass it along, for when he feels like his head is going to explode.
Blow Top Blues
Or something more upbeat
So, what do you listen to over there?
Be cool daddy-o, later alligator. Keep on truckin'

Hey, I am being serious. I can end the Ukraine war in two weeks. Or is that Trump.
Back in the 80s Phil Donahue set up a video link between Russians in Moscow and people over here. He thought he would foster a dialogue. The Russian women wanted to talk about fashions over here.
To ease tensions exchnage culture. We do it with China.

When you think about it Barbos could be Chinese, North Korean, or Iranian.

Which would be great except for the fact that in Putinstan there isn't freedom. Their media is controlled and people imprisoned and murdered for speaking up against Adolph. Maybe dialogue and an exchange of cultural ideas was all we needed with Al Capone too. Even better, lets try that approach with your favorite MAGAtard or Orange Manbaby.

Naw, his posting history has been consistently that of a Russian. I was looking back on the board, and he has long had a soft spot for Ukraine.

Satellite footage suggests Russia ICBM launch test was a disaster The apparent launch failure raised questions about Russia’s military capabilities and put in a dent in the Kremlin’s nuclear saber-rattling.
Ooopsie. Turn around. Nothing to see here. It was just a campfire. They're lying.

Launch 10, even one or two detonations is a disaster.
I do not think Russia would use nukes. Unless Putin wants to go out in a blaze of glory and does not care what happens to Russia.

Zelenskiy pointedly tells China and Brazil at the UN, You want a Nobel Prize? Go write a book. Creating a bullshit truce with Russians on Ukrainian soil will not be your path to a Nobel. I might have taken a little license there but not much.
At at the same time, coincidentally mind you, Reuters puts out an exclusive about a Russian weapons program within China to make long range drones. And they've got the invoices to prove it. If China is providing whole weapon systems to Russia, that is a game changer with regards to sanctions on China.
This is kinda feeling like an inflection point.
And while Russia presses its meat war, aside from Ukraine's homemade drone strikes, Ukraine seems oddly quiet. I hope they are planning something nice... on Russian soil.

Agreed. It certainly ups the ante. What is China getting from Putin in return?

Both Russia and China want to displace the USA as a global influence.
Aiding Putin and prolonging the war keeps -art of our attention on Ukraine and away form China and the South China Sea, and Taiwan.
And it is China thumbing its nose at us. Letting us know they don't care what we say.

What Steve said.
Keeping the US occupied in Eastern Europe leaving less resources and focus on the South China Sea.

Saudi Arabia will increase incrementally its monthly production of oil from this December, adding a total of 1 million barrels per day by December 2025. They had been trying to get the price to $100 and keep it there but that failed. So they'll be going the other route and take market share. It will drive prices even lower but Saudi Arabia can survive. Others, not so much.
What will Putin do? How will he feed his war machine? Demand for oil in China is weak. That pain in OPEC's side, the US will keep producing as long as it's profitable. The cost of production for US keeps improving because that's what we do. I hope Putin's response is to increase production. It'd be like him. This will be fun to watch. Who doesn't love a good price war in the oil industry?
Oil's been averaging $77 or thereabouts for the last couple years and sits at $68 today.
