I like the articles and what they are doing but how do we stop the huge shipments easily coming in to the US?

Trying to avert a total meltdown. Problem is the war has not ended and things will only get worse. Putin is destroying Russia and we are gonna live to see it.
You can't stop the shipments. That's how you turn smugglers into billionaires (Kennedys, etc as a result of alcohol prohibition, Pablo Escobar, EL Chapo, etc. as a result of Reagan's War On Drugs). Prohibition doesn't work. If there is less demand to make the shipments profitable the number of shipments will be reduced. We remove the demand by focusing on the health of our population rather than punishing our population. Of course you still punish dealers/smugglers. https://transformdrugs.org/blog/drug-decriminalisation-in-portugal-setting-the-record-straight
The US has Three Systems in place for a missile attack. None are perfect. All three together do a pretty good job. Pac3 and Thadd systems are the ones Putin doesn't want on his border. I happen to think we have them there already and i also think we have more than they let us know in Orbit. The GMD system is the last defense but it also is less reliable and pretty much needs a direct hit to stop its target. If they start firing Missiles we are all fucked essentially but we might be the ones that actually see winter which in this case would not end for a long time.
LOL, you're kidding. Stupid A-holes who believe that should go there and try to live. It would serve them right.
Here's the only known solution but you must be very flexible. As soon as you hear the warning that nukes have been fired you must find a strong and flat wall. Place your back carefully to the wall and bend over placing your head between your legs. Then kiss your ass goodbye because it's all over.
There were Russian tourists at our resort in Playa Del Carmen when we were there a few weeks ago. I wonder how many are stuck there and Cancun?
Mexico should detain them. Trade them for Britney Griner. Although Russia doesn’t give two shits about them so never mind
Alex ovechkin is a gigantic star. We have plenty of trade chips the problem is Russians in the NHL don’t want to go back.
Windows blasted out, a car in flames, patients limping away to safety — this was the scene at a maternity hospital in Mariupol, a port city on the Sea of Azov, after a Russian strike tore through the facility, killing at least three people and injuring 17 on March 9, according to Mariupol officials. The maternity hospital was one of many health care facilities hit amid Russia’s siege on key Ukrainian cities since the nation’s invasion in late February, a new Washington Post analysis reveals. To confirm which hospitals have been damaged, The Washington Post examined more than 500 videos and photos, reviewed social media posts from the hospitals, spoke to witnesses and hospital employees, and compared key details from these incidents to reports from Ukrainian officials, the United Nations, the World Health Organization, Human Rights Watch, the Center for Information Resilience and ACLED, a group that monitors armed conflict around the world. The Post’s visual analysis verified nine incidents, including the strike in Mariupol, where hospitals faced direct damage as a result of a reported Russian attack. There were fatalities in at least three of the incidents verified by The Post, according to officials. Three of the facilities specifically served women or children. “Hospitals and medical facilities are protected by international humanitarian law," a spokesman for the International Committee of the Red Cross, Jason Straziuso, said in an email. Medical facilities are considered “protected objects” under the law unless they are used for military purposes, said Priyanka Motaparthy, director of the Counterterrorism, Armed Conflict and Human Rights Project at Columbia University Law School’s Human Rights Institute. “When you are hitting in the hospital, you’re not only risking killing people who are receiving medical care, who are sick and wounded, but also because of the long-term effects on a civilian population,” she said. Motaparthy added that the opposing party must give warning before it attacks. International law experts who reviewed The Post’s findings said they appear to show evidence that Russian forces have violated these laws. In at least one case, a pro-Russian media outlet has claimed that a hospital damaged in Ukraine was used for military purposes. The Post found no evidence to support this claim. Motaparthy said an investigation into the incidents should consider any statement the Russian military gave for why it struck the hospital, but hospitals are presumed to be civilian. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2022/03/12/ukraine-hospital-attacks-video
Tucker Carlson suggests US government officials WANTED Russia to invade Ukraine because emergency Covid powers had expired and the war would distract from domestic issues Tucker Carlson has suggested the US government wanted Russia to invade Ukraine in order to distract from issues at home During Friday night's monologue, he theorized that the ending of Covid special laws left the government looking for a way to make a power grab elsewhere He suggests the freezing of assets owned by Russian oligarchs was exactly the play the government needed Tucker Carlson on Friday night made the suggestion that U.S. government officials wanted a war to occur between Russia and Ukraine after emergency powers enacted during Covid had come to an end. Speaking during his monologue on Fox News, Carlson claimed the war allowed the U.S. government to shift focus and further 'grab more power.' Carlson suggested Americans following the war in Ukraine were actually being manipulated by power-hungry bureaucrats. 'You wonder if looking backward many years from right now, historians will notice the remarkable coincidence in timing. Have you noticed?' Carlson began. 'Here it is. At exactly the moment when the emergency powers they awarded to themselves to fight Covid started to wane, our leaders began pushing for conflict with Russia.' Carlson theorized that war in Europe has given lawmakers a pretext to assume 'historic war powers.' Carlson explained how in his view, the U.S. government was violating the rights of Russia's wealthy elite by introducing severe economic sanctions. Although he did not mention the wealthy Russian oligarchs by name, who have had their assets frozen, he accused the U.S. government of 'seizing the property of people' without 'bothering to explain exactly what crime they had committed. 'How long before they accuse you of collusion or disloyalty, or some other hard-to-define crime, declare you an enemy of the state and then confiscate your bank account?' Carlson questioned. Carlson then said Americans have been consumed by 'groupthink' when it comes to the Russian invasion but that U.S. government officials are delighted because it means all domestic issues have now been neglected. 'The morning that Russia invaded Ukraine, you may have been talking about a lot of different things,' he added. 'Covid, or crime, or the Southern border. Not anymore. Much to the relief of the white house, all of those topics have been forgotten, maybe forever.' https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...ssia-invade-Ukraine-Covid-powers-run-out.html
