     Did the Ukraine just get back doored into NATO?  I this they did.  according to the original NATO charter the original NATO members informed the then Soviet Union that the west would not encroach to close to the Russian borders and for years this promise was honored.  But then the Berlin wall fell the west won the "cold war" because the Soviets were just unable to keep up with the west economically and we just spent them into oblivion.  But NATO never went away and rightfully so just because the Soviet Union no longer existed in its original for that did not mean that the Russians went away. as well as their aspirations to be a superpower once again.       The iron curtain come down and several Soviet satellite states suddenly found themselves no longer being upheld by Moscow and seeing that their economy, safety and stability were all up in the air they turned to the only true pillar of stability and that was the west.  a...

      Quick post here are we about to witness not only the end of the department of education and have that kicked back to the determination of the states?  and now is the BATFE (bureau of alcohol tobacco firearms and explosives) about to get absorbed into the FBI?       It looks like this is a possibility since Kash Patel was recently sworn in as the new director of the federal bureau of investigation then is a bit of a surprise he was also sworn in as the acting chief of the BATFE.  Now admittedly I am only going by speculation and a bit of a gut feeling here so take this with a grain of salt, but I see a merger of the two agencies on the horizon.  this fits with Trumps plan on shrinking the size and scope of the federal government.  the ATF has always been a target for slashing since its inception and was never a favor of the citizens of the country.  with its leadership constantly flip flopping on its "rulings" and at times...

    Every collection needs a solid .22 and the room is crowed with some fantastic choices.  But today well focus on the      WALTHER P22 semi auto rimfire pistol.  Walther have been around for over 139 years and have garnered a fantastic reputation for everything from reliability to comfort.  They put out some iconic weapons over the decades from the models 8 and 9 the PP PPK the P38 during WWII that is to just name a few of the game changers the company put out.       Walther is known for their quality engineering and accuracy and the P22 is no slouch in this line as well the first time I held it in my hand if fit like a glove no matter how large or small your hand is this gun just feels perfect, I have normal size hands I wear a large glove, but my wife is petit and she loves how it feel and on the other end of the spectrum my work wife Steve has large hands and he love the way it feel as well   specs .22 LR, barrel...

      The Ukraine war is in desperate need of an ending.  but the two sides in question are not looking to budge on the demands.  Putin seeks to keep all the territory they captured and, but the ultimate dream was and most likely is to have the entire region back behind the former iron curtain. But there is no way that will happen on the other side of the coin Zelensky wants a full withdrawal of all Russian forces from his country, entrance into NATO and assurances that if invaded the west will come to the aid of the Ukraine not only with money but bodies.  again, not all this will be offered up on the table.      The US and Russia began high level talks in Saudi-Arabia the other day freezing out the European counter parts as well as the Ukraine itself, some are angry over this decision by Washington saying that Trump will give Putin a "sweetheart" deal and freeze out the rest of Europe, while forcing Zelensky's hand.  is this a justifia...

      If you listen to talking heads, they always say that China is going to be a major superpower and ultimately take over the United States as the main power block of the world.  They say their Chines economy is going be larger than the west.  They state the Chinese Yuan will be stronger that the Dollar you hear talking heads state the rising sun that is the Chinese military will be a massive war machine that will roll over America.   So, is any of this true?  well, NO it's not the Chinese are a paper tiger Ill break it down in cliffs notes form.     The Chinese Economy the Chinese do not come up with their own research the steel from the west and re-engineer it for themselves and always in a much more inferior way.  The 5 G Tella communications systems that they pushed on the word was littered with spy ware and never operated at the 5 g promised it is banned here in the states.  due to its back door ability for the DPCR to e...

      The fighting is the Ukraine is going horribly for the Russians.  the cracks in the mighty bears armor is more glaring than anyone originally thought, the weapons systems used by the Russians as good as they appear on paper show just how bat the designs are.  With armor systems failing Tanks being destroyed by lesser armed and prepared vehicles.  Their latest and greatest attack helicopter the Kamov-50 have shown to be a disaster, and reports say they have already lost half the fleet.  confirmed reports of well over 190,000 Russian soldiers have died, been injured or gone missing since the start of the war.  this is due to lack of leadership proper training and poor equipment.  Reports state that the Russian war machine can no longer keep up with the need for new equipment on the battlefield and the Russians are de moth balling old soviet machines.  the T-90 tanks are in low numbers and can't be produced in adequate numbers same wit...

      Trump and Putin have been intalks with one and other for a day or two now and a pathway to the end of the war in Europe looks to be open.  Will the Ukraine get back every inch of its lost territory?  No I do not see that taking place.  I do see a negotiated off ramp allowing Russia to save a bit of face and at the same time giving a bit of a win to Zelensky.       Will the Ukraine enter and be a full member of NATO?  again, my answer in no.   We need to adhere to the original agreements on no more NATO expansion on the Russian front.  That is a positive for both the west and east.  Ukraine will get western assurances that it will receive aid packages, help in re construction and defense when needed.  Russia will receive part of the Donbas region economic sanctions will be loosen if not fully lifted, unrestricted ability to put in petroleum pipelines across the areas in question.  all will be grant...
