Steady State - The people who work for the federal government in positions of authority with little accountability, who actually run the nation and world.  The politicians come and go, make they dough, and spread fear, doom, and gloom while kissing the baby and passing suckers out to suckers.  But at the end of the day, our Steady State kicks butt compared to theirs.

What are you looking at?  In this picture of the cockpit of a Russian Su-34, a fighter/bomber, you are looking at the advanced technology of the Russian military.  The Su-34 entered service in 2014, which means it’s new.  The length of time it takes to start and finish the design to manufacturing of a weapons system is measured in decades.  But wait.  This is one of the most modern fighters they have and they are using it against the Ukrainian civilians.  Now what’s the point Paul?  Look at the little XXX on the XXX.  It’s a XXX with a XXX it in place.  This!  This!! This is telling!!! And in this episode I will tell you what’s telling about the Russian military.  This is not a single data point.  And in doing this, know that I believe in peace but not peace at all cost.  Everyone deserves to their time on this ball of must to live life with liberty and happiness.  Life is difficult without a big bad bear in the neighborhood, but the bear?  Well, he’s vulnerable and it’s time to take him out.

From SetApp:  On February 24, 2022, Russia started a shocking and unfair war against Ukrainians. Setapp is a Ukrainian company and our team is based in Kyiv, Ukraine. We see the atrocities of this war with our own eyes, and we’re heartbroken.  In response to the invasion, we terminate Setapp’s services in Russia and Belarus and urge you to stand with us and seek the truth from trustworthy sources.  We have reasons to believe that many of you — particularly those in Russia or Belarus — are misinformed about what’s really going on in Ukraine, so we want to share the truth. The truth is ugly but there’s a lot you can do to change it and stop the war. Here’s the list of sources you can trust.

0500 HRS - Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will address the British Parliament on Tuesday via video, the first time that a speech from a foreign leader will be broadcast directly into the House of Commons chamber. The United Kingdom has pledged military support and humanitarian aid to Ukraine but rejected requests to impose a no-fly zone, saying it would escalate the conflict with Russia. When a Ukrainian activist pleaded with Prime Minister Boris Johnson on March 1 to support a no-fly zone, the British leader said: “Unfortunately the implication of that is that the U.K. would be engaged in shooting down Russian planes, engaged in direct combat with Russia. That’s not something we can do.”  (If not now, when? If not us, who?)
