So very sorry Republicans Putin gambled and lost

he went after one union that tried to cripple air travel using an illegal strike.

The strike was not illegal.
The contract had expired.
And the work conditions were obviously dangerous.
That is proven by the fact over twice as many people had to be hired in order to replace the fired strikers.
 
The US often does illegal things, without repercussion.
Like Vietnam, invading Iraq over WMD lies, etc.
The whole federal War on Drugs is totally illegal.
The whole BATF and DEA should not even exist.
That just means we live in a dictatorship and are in denial.

You can call them wrong, but unless you can quote the exact laws that were broken, they weren't illegal.
 
Irrelevant.
Sure one with valuable skills can make a prosperous living, but not on the scale of those who cheat and steal, like Bill Gates, Zuckerberg, Agrawal, etc.
There is no way individuals can negotiate fairly with a big company.

Another "Rich people bad" poster.

Go hang with JoeBlow, you will get along swimmingly.

Federal employees are not allowed to strike by law.

In striking, the union violated 5 U.S.C. (Supp. III 1956) 118p (now 5 U.S.C. § 7311), which prohibits strikes by federal government employees.

The 9th and 10th amendments say that the feds an only do what they are specifically authorized to do by the Constitution, and no more.
And in no way is there any authorization for any federal weapons or drug legislation.
Therefore the war on drugs and the BATF firearms regulations are totally and completely illegal.
 
Federal employees are not allowed to strike by law.

Wrong.
All individuals have the inherent right to strike if warranted.
There have been post office strikes, for example.
It is illegal to try to prevent strikes, as that would be slavery.

The U.S. postal strike of 1970 was an eight-day strike by federal postal workers in March 1970. The strike began in New York City and spread to some other cities in the following two weeks. This strike against the federal government, regarded as illegal, was the largest wildcat strike in U.S. history. President Richard Nixon called out the United States armed forces and the National Guard in an attempt to distribute the mail and break the strike. The strike influenced the contents of the Postal

Firing strikers is an inherent right.

Not if the strike is about the employer risking public deaths, like too many planes and not enough air traffic controllers.
Then they have a civic duty to strike, in order to protect us.
 
Where did you read that violating a treaty makes an invasion okay?

That is always obviously true.
Violating a treaty is like committing a crime, and then the victims has the inherent right to pursue justice.
A treaty violation is essentially an act of war.
 
The point is, you are wrong. Do some reading, even WIKI knows better.

Putin. Corruption. (Russian: Путин. Коррупция., romanized: Putin.

The report was presented by them at the press conference on 28 March 2011. This is the first large-scale project of the People’s Freedom Party.

The report has been compiled by co-chairmen of the party Vladimir Milov, Boris Nemtsov and Vladimir Ryzhkov, as well as the press secretary of the Russian Solidarnost (“Solidarity”) movement Olga Shorina.

That is "alledged" corruption, by an opposing political party.

Biden used alleged corruption to fire Shokin too. Apparently that is the latest ruse that Russia and Biden use. Biden is pissing in his Depends about now.
 
Ukraine War: Vladimir Putin has gambled everything and lost

Ukraine War: Vladimir Putin has gambled everything and lost​




Until Vladimir Putin lunched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in the early hours of February 24, he was winning his standoff with the West. He had compelled the United States and Europe to take his demands seriously; he experienced the pleasure of being treated as the leader of a great power; and he had succeeded in intimidating the Ukrainians as well as Russia’s other neighboring states and the wider world.

All he had to do to solidify his victory was to recognize the independence of the so-called separatist republics in the Donbas, acknowledge that Ukraine’s chances of joining NATO were nil, and continue his creeping subversion of Ukraine in the expectation that, sooner or later, it would drift back into Russia’s orbit.

And then he blew it all by invading Ukraine.

Overnight, Russia became a pariah state. The West has already imposed an expanding range of sanctions with more expected. International opinion has almost unanimously condemned Putin’s war of aggression, and thousands of his own citizens have expressed their opposition to the war in demonstrations and petitions.

Most importantly, Ukrainians have fought back, fiercely. This was something Putin probably did not expect. In his initial announcement of a “special military operation,” Putin called on Ukrainian soldiers to lay down their arms, not out of concern for their lives, but because he truly believed they would be happy to do so. But they weren’t and they didn’t. Instead, they have inflicted punishing losses on his invasion force and have inspired the watching world with their courage.

Now the supposed chess grandmaster Putin has effectively maneuvered himself into an unwinnable position. Ukrainians throughout the entire country, regardless of the language they prefer to speak, their religion or ethnic background, have rallied around the flag. Tens of thousands have volunteered for territorial defense units. Many more have donated blood. Untold others have handed over their savings to help finance the defense of the country. An historic wave of patriotic fervor has gripped Ukraine.

The Ukrainian nation has been joined by diaspora Ukrainians, who are now busy staging rallies and fundraising for their homeland. All these Ukrainians now consider themselves part of a modern Ukrainian nation that is as diverse as it is united in its opposition to Putin and everything he stands for: namely dictatorship and vassalage. Ukrainians have demonstrated that they love their country, despite all its extant faults, and that they are willing to sacrifice greatly for it.

Ukraine’s dramatic show of wartime unity and national strength is exceptionally inconvenient for Putin. In his increasingly unhinged attempts to justify his war, the Russian ruler has claimed to be fighting against a ragtag band of “fascists,” “Nazis,” and “drug addicts” who represent no one but their own interests and their “paymasters” in the West. As it turns out, Putin has declared war on a patriotic nation of more than 40 million people in a country the size of France.

His options are now all bad. He could still physically destroy Ukraine and commit a massive genocide against its inhabitants, but even the craziest of Russian imperialists would probably balk at the idea of what would be the most colossal atrocity in human history.

Putin may yet try to establish a puppet Ukrainian regime in Kyiv that would be happy to do his bidding, as intelligence reports have long predicted. However, that would mean occupying a huge country indefinitely. This would probably require around a million soldiers, all of whom would become targets of a Ukrainian resistance movement that would be sure to emerge.

Alternatively, Putin could try to work out some kind of deal with the current Ukrainian administration, but that would mean effectively admitting to his inner circle if not to the Russian people that his bloody enterprise had actually achieved nothing that negotiations could not have produced at far smaller cost.
Look at this retard he has the ability to cut and paste, and construct a few sentences.

Which sent a clear signal that the government would no longer have the back of working people.

Nonsense.

Zelensky is constantly whining about how Russia won't let him join NATO.

NATO is full of countries with criminal imperial and colonial pasts, like the US, England, France, Italy, etc., and they saying Shokin is corrupt, makes Shokin look better, not worse.
And you normally do not fire an inspector general.
That is a civil service position where you have to prove something in court.
Nothing was ever proven.
Shokin was never even charged with anything, much less convicted.

Actually, Shonkin was not an "inspector general". He was the lead prosecutor for the Ukraine, and several of his deputies were found to be corrupt, having large quantities of foreign currency and diamonds when their homes were raided.

The IMF, European Union, and the United States ALL insisted that he had to go if the Ukraine was going to get any more foreign aid. This was not about "Bursima" (which he wasn't investigating) or Joe Biden.

Frankly, this Russian invasion of the Ukraine shows why the Ukraine was quite right in wanting to join NATO and the EU.

You'd probably look at the body of battered housewife and say, "Well, she shouldn't have provoked her husband by getting a restraining order!"

Once drugs cross state lines all bets are off. And all States have drug laws as well.

It was still illegal.

There is no inherent right to strike, or at least there is no inherent right to no consequences of striking if you are a federal employee.

Strikes by federal employees are illegal, it's part of the cost of having civil service protections.

Too bad, so sad.
