What caught your attention in the world today?

Published

I came across this is little story today, it's not breaking news.  I suspect that a member of the housekeeping staff knows something about the bomb threat that required the sweep for weapons.

According to police in Secaucus, the bomb threat — which later was determined to be bogus — was called in to Hudson Regional Hospital on July 18. During a search, bomb detection dogs led investigators to an unlocked office closet containing dozens of firearms.

Among the weapons were 11 handguns and 27 rifles or shotguns, according to police. The closet also contained a .45 caliber semi-automatic rifle with a high-capacity magazine that was determined to be an assault rifle, and a 14-round high-capacity handgun magazine.

The arrested the guy the next day. 

What the heck do you think this guy was doing? It sounds very ominous that he was keeping those weapons there.

Trump was publicly kissing up to Putin and other tyrannts.  

 

Putin is a democratically elected leader who has transformed the lives of Russians for the good of his people, is currently bringing democracy back to a nation that Obama helped extremist groups conquer.  Hardly a tyrant.  

He isn't freezing bank accounts of peaceful protestors nor is he trying to disarm hunters of their weapons.  

You obviously have a strong distaste for more masculine alpha males like Trump and Putin.  This is obvious misandry,

I thought Zelenskyy was democratically elected. Why does Putin feel the need to replace him? Because Putin wants all of Ukraine, not just Crimea? If Putin is such a great leader, why are men of conscription age fleeing Russia?

Yanukovych was democratically elected.  Obama helped the terrorist extremist groups instill the false government holding Ukraine hostage.  Putin just wants Russia to be left alone.  The false government of Ukraine threatened to join NATO who were created to combat Russia.

Xenophobic globalist Zelensky shills need to do some research on the matter before commenting.  Were you all this vocal in 2014 when Obama helped the extremist groups overthrow Ukraine?  Because you know Yanukovych was elected democratically.....

https://countercurrents.org/2017/03/obamas-ukrainian-coup-caused-2-5-million-ukrainian-refugees-into-russia/

On March 7th, Russia’s top parliamentarian dealing with the Ukrainian refugee influx into Russia — dealing, that is, with the people who have fled Ukraine as a result of U.S. President Barack Obama’s 2014 coup overthrowing Ukraine’s democratically elected President Viktor Yanukovych — presented the first-ever comprehensive number of asylum-applicants from Ukraine who have received asylum there after that February 2014 coup. The Russian government had never before publicly provided a number, but does have an established system of processing refugees, including assignment of official refugee status, which “allows the recipient various social benefits, including unemployment compensation” and so each Ukrainian refugee has a file with the government.

As reported by Tass: 

Russia has received more than 2,500,000 refugees since the outbreak of the conflict in eastern Ukriane, Yuri Vorobyov, Deputy Speaker of Russia’s Federation Council (upper house of parliament) and Chairman of the Committee for Public Support to Residents of Southeastern Ukraine, said on Tuesday.

“Europe has received 900,000 [refugees] and shuddered, while we have received over 2,500,000 refugees on our territory and continue to provide assistance,” he said opening the round table discussion “Russia-Donbass: New Cooperation Mechanisms.”

That coup, which generated these millions of refugees, had been planned by the U.S. White House since 2011, and culminated on 20 February 2014. Also on that day, hundreds of Crimeans who had been standing in Kiev with signs opposing the overthrow of the President for whom 75% of Crimeans had voted, were attacked by supporters of the coup (which was fronted by, and was propagandized as being, the “Maidan revolution” demanding ‘democracy’ in Ukraine, though the coup actually ended democracy there). These Crimeans immediately scrambled back into the eight buses that had taken them to Kiev and headed homeward, but the U.S.-government-backed Right Sector paramilitaries went in hot pursuit of the buses, and burnt some of them and massacred many of the demonstrators, outside of Kiev, in the town of Korsun. This became called “the Korsun Massacre”, and Crimeans in Crimea immediately started demonstrating in Crimea, for Crimea to become, once again, as it had been until 1954, part of Russia. Crimeans overwhelmingly favored Russia over the United States, and were terrified by the racist anti-Russian government that now ruled in Kiev. This fear wasn’t only because of the massacre, nor only because 75% of Crimeans had voted for the man whom Obama had overthrown, but also because Crimeans generally (and most Ukrainians who had voted for Yanukovych) knew well the intense racist hatred against pro-Russian Ukrainians by the Right Sector people, who had actually carried out the coup. A plebiscite was held in Crimea on 16 March 2014, and the vote to rejoin Russia was over 90%. U.S. President Obama then imposed economic sanctions against Russia for accepting Crimea back into Russia. These sanctions, and U.S. military aid to the new junta-government in Kiev, publicly renewed The West’s Cold War against Russia (which had actually continued secretly against Russia ever since the end of the Soviet Union in 1991; the Cold War had ended only on the Russian side).

When it’s posting blatant Russian propaganda, yes … troll.

Putin is an old-school kgb-bred Stalin retread. When his rent-boy Trump was in power, he really didn’t have to do much besides crook his little finger to get what he wanted. Now … not so much. Thus the escalation in botspeak on the right. Not working.

Modern Diplomacy is a moderate publication 

You are way out there.  Denying historical events which are well documented.  Election denying and coup denying conspiracy theorists, status quo for the Alt-Left.  The party responsible for the 2011 insurrection at the Wisconsin capital, aka the worst attack on our American soil since 9/11.  The party that is now threatening the lives of our great Supreme Court justices for protecting the lives of children from genocidal racist xenophobic murderers.  

Putin is a leader to admire that is doing great things in a world with much turmoil.  Giving shelter to the millions of Ukranian refugees after 2014 is admirable and has sealed his place as one of the greatest humanitarians of this generation.  You can dismiss all his accomplishments as Russian propaganda or whatever you want to but it's evident this is nothing but xenophobia and misandry.

Publication run by all Indians = White Nationalist?  

Just say you hate white people.  Using the term "White Nationalist" in a derogatory way is code for you hate white people.  I really would like to hear your mental gymnastics to equate an Indian publication with the "White Nationalism" boogeyman.

In other words, you have nothing to present... just your feelings and right wing talking points. 

What consequences?  Passing legislation? Doing better than expected in the midterms? 

WOW! The things people believe and the reasoning behind it. “You just would explain it away”… you’re supposed to, it’s called getting to the truth.
