Whoa.
In the other major geopolitical story currently demanding attention, Russia officially began an invasion of neighboring Ukraine roiling international markets and causing much fear and trepidation. Russia had been building forces along Ukraine’s borders for weeks though an actual full scale “invasion” seemed unlikely and caught the world by great surprise.
As is the new way, in America, this great surprise led to much finger pointing about who was to blame. Some felt that Trump precipitated the troubles with his “destabilizing” something ratherness. One-time Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney made it known that his erstwhile foe Barack Obama was actually at fault for mocking him at a debate and took the opportunity to mock back.
Ex-Congresswoman from Hawaii, democrat, noted surfer and friend of Kelly Slater Tulsi Gabbard thrust current American President Joe Biden, who also happens to be a democrat, and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization into the spotlight, taking to Twitter and writing, “This war and suffering could have easily been avoided if Biden Admin/NATO had simply acknowledged Russia’s legitimate security concerns regarding Ukraine’s becoming a member of NATO, which would mean US/NATO forces right on Russia’s border. Biden/Harris tell us we must bear the cost to defend freedom in Ukraine. But while you & your family struggle with higher prices, the Power Elite won’t suffer at all. And if the conflict goes nuclear, they’ll be safe in busy, massive bunkers while you & your loved ones fry.”
Whoa.
Gabbard makes a fine point at the beginning, I think. Treating Russia like it should have absolutely zero sovereignty and/or that NATO is only ever purely benevolent is… untenable and silly. Frying with our loved ones during a horrible nuclear winter, though, seems a bit much.
No?
What does Kelly Slater think?
More as the story develops.

“And the other question we’re hearing again and again from people today is where is the world? Why is the world not coming to our (Ukraine’s) rescue? How is it possible that in 2022 you can launch an invasion on a European country and nobody seems to be able to put a stop to it?”
nobody wants to get nuked.
Isnt it awesome how politics gets the most comments? I love to go have a surf then come home and have a go with libtard surf trash.
All the thought leaders gather at the Inertia you could try there
Pretty sure they are full of thought police.
Ya, cause the experts, that the woke educational industrial complex keeps cranking out, are so correct in all their forecasts.
Kelly can fix all this by walking in to the Kremlin and asking “is Vladamir here?” a la the psych out to Andy back in the day..
Headline: “Russia invades Ukraine”
Americans: “This is all about our internal political squabbles! “
Fortunately, Tulsi Gabbard is no longer in government – what an idiot.
Dumber than Sarah Palin, and that is very dumb indeed.
When does Portugal start
In six days, three hours, and fortyfive minutes.
I believe his girlfriend has a PHD in geopolitical strategy with honors in Russian history.
Russia invades Ukraine, qotards confused…
“Decision to invade Ukraine raises questions over Putin’s ‘sense of reality”.
Biden has said no to America supporting a guerrilla war in the Ukraine stating ” awwww come on, monkeys aren’t going be any help”.

Why do you have the Don’t Hit Me Koby badge DD?
Tulsi is a Trump level grifter, not bad looking though.
Even Trump wouldn’t stoop low enough to try and flatter Slater.
While over on the other surf site they released an article on the interference calls in Sunset, stab in the dark, and some other actual surf articles. You guys could actually spend sometime producing some decent surf articles.
We might have to pay though 😬
You do know where you are right?
Sounds like they got it covered, wouldn’t want to flood the market.
Ha ha nice one
Biden was asked to authorised sending the Seals to the conflict but said no because he didn’t want see Sea World run short!

thats so retarded that it is 110% on point!
“President Vladimir Putin cast aside international condemnation and sanctions and warned other countries that any attempt to interfere would lead to “Consequences You Have Never Seen”.
Is that a threat?
As PUTIN Laughs at the free world and their ‘petty’ “sanctions”.
PS
So Tulsi Gabbars is an ‘EX’ congresswoman?
I think that ‘negates’ her endorsement of KS as no serious in office politician would collab with a surfer I think.
Haven’t seen “bob” around here, so you could be right.
The comment section here after any political sort of blog post is very similar to a surf in San Diego county; shit people thrashing in shit waves. Leaves one wondering why the fuck did I bother coming here…?
Because like every other old fucker thrashing around, you just couldn’t help yourself and to had chime in.
Please tell all your friends.
Please go back to where you came from. Thank you.
If you want to keep flies out of the kitchen throw turds down the hallway. Meanwhile . . . . +++ EMERGENCY ALERT +++
Whilst we are all being distracted with (insert media distraction here) plans are almost complete where under WHO (globalist) dictates, every country on Earth is to sign an agreement for managing future pandemics with the aim to implement this in 2024.
Think this agreement is a way off? Think again.
This is due to be signed March 1st 2022.
“A convention, agreement or other international instrument that is legally binding under international law.”
Countries’ leaders are going to enter into an internationally binding legal agreement with The World Health Organisation, which finally signs away OUR RIGHTS to the globalists. You read that correctly. The Corporations will be locking the doors of our cells behind us.
I cannot stress this enough. If this passes, the psychopaths in the WHO will be able to dictate all sorts of draconian measures under a global legal agreement that uses a declaration of global emergency as the cover to do what the hell they want.
Think they couldn’t get away with it? Wrong. They have already tested it out to see what the people will do when Dan Andrews, the Communist Leader in Chief of the Australian State of Victoria, imposed a test set of similar ‘laws’ giving the Premier, ie. him, such rights to lock down the whole state on his whim under emergency measures. No other approvals needed – UTTER tyranny. Well, besides resistance from over 120 000 brave Victorians, the Bill passed in December of 2021, with Royal Assent from the Governor.
Victorian government’s pandemic bill becomes law | https://www.abc.net.au/news…
This is the big one – read the WHO Bill below and more importantly UNDERSTAND IT AND SHARE WIDELY and reject it utterly. I cannot emphasize just how important it is that you seriously consider, with a hindsight knowledge of their track record and utterly psychopathic actions already, that this will pave the way for a Phase II “viral outbreak” that will be as fake as phase 1, the ‘next one that will get our attention” to paraphrase Bill Gates. If this passes the Corporations can wave International Law at the Police and Military and have them act against us. If they resist, UN Forces will be compelled to act.
Any government that signs up to this has committed treason against its people, has thus abdicated any right it has to govern and must be immediately removed in order to ensure the safety and liberty of its nation. Resist this in every way possible – this is a MAXIMUM ALERT:

Oh, I’m so scared.
We’re all witnessing a great number of our fellow humans go batshit crazy in real time. That scares me a bit. Also, there’s fembots
Not in my country. We still have guns, and will not give them up. Australia and Canada, now those wusssies are going to be slaves to the Chicoms.
