Remember when Joe* blackmailed the government of Ukraine by threatening to withhold a billion bucks in aid unless they fired the prosecutor investigating his family corruption? He bragged about it.
I didn't know the Vice President was in charge of the purse, and could override Congress and the President, at whim. I also don't remember Barry the Weasel condemning Joe's* blackmail, extra income from foreign oligarchs, or usurpation of power.
Barack Obama asking Putin to wait for his Last Election before invading Ukraine?
Donald Trump supporting ISIS & the Muslim Brotherhood in their rape terrorism? & starting multiple wars, coups, mass migration crisis,??? Oh, yeah, that was Joe's* boss, Barack.
I was thinking perhaps it's the Putin Regime's treatment of people like Rachel that make them warlike, then I remember that the Iranian Mullahs are worse and the commies don't care. So rational thinking isn't it.
So if it's NOT enlightened self interest? Paid by the CCP? Trump Derangement Syndrome?
Except that Rachel has a good chance at prison for her sexual preferences, you'd think she'd have moved to Moscow and filmed a video propaganda series on the joys of living in Putin's Soviet Paradise, like the actress above.
Russia was the darling of the left until Hillary's campaign chose to Lie that Trump was a Russian puppet, to distract from her corruption and Treason. So maybe it's Hillary Obsession?
IronicallyI might agree that "Russia has to lose" to save Europe, because after Ukraine, Poland would be the next target, just like Stalin started WW2 in cooperation with Hitler by dividing Poland.
But Merkel isn't queen in Germany now... So that rhyme isn't it...
And my opinion is not that thousands and thousands of Ukrainians and Russians should die in war to get whatever agenda Rachel and her fellow commie scum are up to.
Understand that on a morning like this when my back hurts, it's a good thing I don't have orbital push button slaughter ability.
Because I'd surely decapitate the Putin Regime, and the Russian propaganda actors in TV and the internet. ( not my fellow Badwebber, though )
Maybe even before D.C.
And since I'm an Olde School Liberal and Women's Rights supporter... ( I guess I'm a TERF, now by the Regressive definitions? )
I'd cheerfully mash the wrath of Zeus button and take out the Mullahs, Taliban, and Pakistani rulers. But I'd do that without being cranky and waiting for the muscle relaxers to kick in. That's my default settings.
Oh, and the WEF. Screw them & their cricket burgers! ( I'm quite cranky this morning )
Come to think of it, is it the WEF behind the warmongering left? Murdering half the planet is their announced goal, after all.
I'm assuming propaganda here, and if the rumors of the mercenaries raping and murdering are true, am happy to see the potential for these guys to get snuffed by Putin.
Otoh, this is, almost certainly, misinformation.
Not the "Establishment Party" definition of truths they don't like, although that too is a possibility for this complaint, but lies by the Putin minions to get people to underestimate Putin's forces as they prepare a big push. It's smart to pretend to be stalled when you want the enemy to relax before you leap.
I'm bemused by the Joe* trip promising support for Ukraine, since in "anti-Joe*" thinking, that does not lend credibility to the Ukrainian side. Especially given the past Ukrainian corruption and payments to the Biden* Crime Family.
But I'm reminded of my own observation about Slick Willie from now many years ago. He can't lie All the time, or he wouldn't get what he wanted in a restaurant.
There's a growing trend in "right wing media" of people saying they don't want their sons sent to die in a foreign war for rich corrupt elites and pointing to WW1 and how it got out of hand. Which is bizzaro world deja vu to someone who had a draft card back during the Vietnam war.
The mirror universe weirdness of the D Party being Hawks and the R Party, Doves, ( in the current agitprop narrative ) is freaky, and I'm waiting to see if the CNN/MSNBC editorial content suddenly goes peacenik, presumably in an effort to get Jill* to stop Joe* from running for reelection next year.
Me, I'm getting vibes from both the Spanish American war & the Spanish Civil War.
Both the agitation to war aspects of the first, and the testing of new weapons in the second.
Those who know history are condemned to watch others repeat it.
She may very well end up dying. While I would hate to see that, it inspires me to know she would die fighting for something she believes in mightily. And she would die fighting by choice, not conscription. She would die a free person, not a slave or beaten down subject. A Citizen.... Something you wouldn't understand...
Pray for her soon death because if Russia will not be able to eliminate her and all the nazi and the nazi supporters with reasonable resources and time manner the next stage is Russia will utilize more reasonable weapons like nuclear weapons and in this case many people who do not support Ukrainian nazi will suffer.
It may have been an accident. But it was preceded by several abusive acts, including dumping fuel on the drone. As ever, the Russian was being a bit of a dick.
There's a scene in Hunt For Red October where the Admiral of a Carrier says... "This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it."
If the President was a very different guy, and we had the proper pinpoint weapons, then I wouldn't be all that worried. But, not even close to the person I want to have his staff run a brinksmanship contest. ( I don't think they want to wake him, for fear he'll Sundown the nuclear arsenal )
And we don't have the fast pinpoint weapons deployed to stop a nuclear war. The Thor program is perfect for this, but if they ever built any, it's too top secret to know. Heck they might not even tell the President it exists.
It's one of the truly insane things about the Cold War era of the Century long war of Authoritarian vs. Representative ideologies. If you develop a weapon that can precision strike missile silos and bombers, while being basically useless for Mass Destruction, it is considered a Too Dangerous destabilizing weapon. The Enemy would freak the frack out.
Skipping the details... assume the destructive power of a WW2 V-2 or Tallboy and the cost so high & thus numbers so few, you wouldn't use it to bomb civilians unless you're a terrorist. Decapitations strike, sure. Bunkers, Silos, Ships, but not cities.
Bottom line is being able to target the leadership ruins everything for the guys in Palaces, so it's just not going to be allowed.
There's even more arguments against the idea than that, but as a civilian, I do like the idea of not using WMDs. As a cynic I don't want anyone to have that technology.
Fake news said he dumped fuel, but he likely did nothing. Likely the drone operator error caused the lost of the drone and they decided to blame a Russian pilot
