Need to Know (22 July 2022) with Carl Herman and Principled Vegan

Russia's Foreign Minister declares that Russia's goals in Ukraine have expanded
beyond the Donbas region, no doubt because the threat to Russia and the
Donbas will continue were Russia to withdraw. I would not be surprised for
Russia to take all of Ukraine as an essential form of protection of the
national security of Russia. Zelensky's Chief of Staff worries that, if
they have not defeated Russia by winter, they are going to lose. But they
are going to lose anyway, winter or not. The EU has now openly
admitted that its sanctions on Russia were not to defend Ukraine but to
destroy the Russian economy, which is a form of collective punishment that
qualifies as a war crime under international law, the Geneva Conventions,
and the UN Charter. So much for the myth of the "civilized West".
Democrats would love to pack the Supreme Court, but some of its own worry
that it would set up an opportunity for a GOP president to appoint several
more conservatives to the Court. It ain't going to happen. Alex Jones
suggests MJT ought to run for President in 2024, but that's a silly idea.
She might make a good VP, but in line before her (as I see it) are Tulsi
Gabbard, Ron DeSantis, and Ron Johnson, all of whom would be excellent
choices. New data from the UK proves beyond doubt that the vax is an
instrument of death, with dozens of tourists dropping dead in Italy as
further confirmation. If they come to vax you, bear in mind that you are
being assaulted with a deadly weapon and protect yourself as though your
life were at stake--because it is! Thanks to Carl and Vegan for their
excellent contributions.
