The Ukraine Crisis

[Caribbean Hen]

This doesn’t sound fascist actually socialist Trumps got everyone covered with his diversity…

President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order aiming to reduce the costs of in vitro fertilization, a medical procedure that helps people facing infertility build their families.

Trump cares about others TOO much, thats the problem

Wilson, Tim Miller, shit…even Bill Kristol get it. The bulwark YouTube channel is informative.

There are many former Republicans who avoided the cult. Dems need to listen to them more.

Rick Wilson is about as partisan and reliable as tucker, hannity, musk etc.

It might be accurate to say Chamberlain was a rookie compared to trump in a few years but as of right now that's partisan hyperbole.

I disagree - taking seized territory and NATO membership off the table before negotiations have started? Negotiations for what? There is nothing left to negotiate

Trump’s attempts to denigrate Zelenskyy have led to a surge in Ukrainian unity

Over three years of war, Ukraine’s initial unity had started to wear thin, as old frictions and political spats reemerged. But after Trump’s false claims this week that Ukraine is led by a “dictator” who started the war with Russia, even some of President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s harshest critics have rallied around him and feelings of unity have surged again.

“Yes, he’s not a perfect president, but he’s not a dictator,” said Kateryna Karaush, a 25-year-old tech worker from Kyiv who like many Ukrainians — and even some Republicans in Congress — is struggling to wrap her head around Trump's embrace of Russia, which represents a major about-face in U.S. foreign policy.

“It feels like the whole world is against us," Karaush said.
...
“We may have different opinions about Zelenskyy, but only Ukrainian citizens have the right to judge his support,” said Yaroslav Zhelezniak, a lawmaker from the opposition party Holos. “And to publicly criticize him too, because, in the end, he is our elected leader.”

4D Chess

Trump is rallying Europe behind Zelenskyy and Ukraine while pulling the US out of Europe.

Russia is screwed permanently. They're so deeply tied into China now that showing that they are publicly embracing Trump and the lifting of sanctions (i.e. the source of cheap oil and gas) will cause China to act more aggressively towards them. And they would be on the front line, not the US.

UKRAINE: French police say Zelensky’s defense ministry official stole $46M not the reported $40M, buying a Villa in France for $2,500,000, a vinyard for $6,500,000 and 27 land plots for $1,000,000. How many billions were looted by Zelensky’s other associates?

haha I remember when our self-appointed geniuses were all saying the Ukraine was not corrupt

A solid breakdown by the retired head of MI6 on Putin, Trump, how Europe is not yet prepared for what’s coming, and the destruction of our the U.S. most secure alliance in NATO. Putin will not give up on his imperialism despite enduring massive losses. A changing of the order is occurring. This is not good in any way for us.

Well worth the watch.

Right. So you’re pulling more out of your ass or from a far right source you’re too embarrassed to share.

Btw…a true links course sits on the dunes and land immediately adjacent to the sea. My course is 275 miles inland.

Nevermind. I found the source for you. Note there is no actual link to the story, just a headline pic. Also note who Elon is tipping his hat to in the retweet.

Bowes addressed the UN Security Council at Russia's invitation in 29 June 2023.[16] He was introduced as a "scholar specialising in small arms and munitions" and criticized NATO's role in the Russo-Ukrainian war.[2] He described the war as a NATO-driven proxy conflict, warning of unregulated arms flooding into Ukraine.[2] Russia defended Bowes, while Ukraine's ambassador dismissed him as a "Russian stooge".[2] His UN appearance was part of Russia's effort to shift blame for the war onto the West.[2]
Bowes has worked for the Russian state media network RT, and portrays the West as the antagonist in Russia's war on Ukraine. His views, aligned with Kremlin viewpoints, positions him as a key figure in disseminating pro-Russian narratives.[1][17] Following the invasion of the Kursk Oblast by Ukrainian troops, Bowes described it as "Ukraines last ditch roll of the Dice". He also said that the invasion by the "corrupt Kiev elites" was ordered by "their masters in London and Washington".[18]
Bowes lives in Russia.[

This took me all of about 3 minutes to dig up. It’s the case with nearly everything you guys post. Of course an intellectually honest person would check out the source on their own but we’re long past the point of expecting anything intellectual or honest coming from MAGA, aren’t we?

Ukraine says defense officials stole $40 million meant for mortar munitions

CH frequently and/or conveniently forgets to provide links but he usually quotes directly so his info is usually easy to find.

The $40 million looks like a legit story. The extra $6 million and the connection to Zelinsky or a villa, vineyard and land plots in France are suspect.

I’m missing the ties in the Hill story to Zalenskyy as part of the corruption.

They didn't tie the $40 million to Zelensky. My guess is that Chay Bowes mentions Zelensky because he's assuming people will be too stupid or blindly loyal to the russian/MAQA yahoo agenda to see through his transparent attempts to create guilt by association. What he did was intellectually dishonest. Parroting this BS and complaining about coverage of hunter's laptop (or vice versa) is hypocritical,

Um. Yes?

That’s typically how it works when you cite information or quote an article.

When you wrote papers in college did you expect the prof to verify sources and use citations for you?

The first rule of holes, CH.
