That's my opinion. Just get a conviction for anything regardless of whatever rule or procedure has to be bent BEFORE the election knowing that an appeals court will likely throw it out. Just watched "Empire of Terror" on Daily Wire. It's a series by Bill Whittle documenting the rise of communism in Russia. Complete disregard of a fair judicial system was a hallmark of that process..... So we have that going for us.2 points

During the State of Union, President Biden ordered the US military to establish a pier to aid in the distribution of aid to Palestinians: It starts at 2:49. 5 days ago, General Ryder said none of the aid delivered by the pier has reached Palestinians. It cost the United States $320 milliion dollars. Today, it broke apart and sank. The pier, that is. https://x.com/clashreport/status/17951468497723515762 points

Not only that, but in order to join NATO following the illegal annexation of its territory in 2014, Ukraine would have had to officially recognize the Donbas and Crimea as Russian due to the requirements in NATO for applying. Since Ukraine has refused to do that (along with most of the western aligned world) it would be impossible for them to join NATO. Putin’s narrative of NATO expansion as some existential crises to Russia is built on bullshit. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk2 points

ukraine is a simple rook in the geopolitical chess game played by the west post WWII. a chess game where the west has demonstrated strong opening moves but disastrous long term strategic thinking. no one in the west, NATO, or the EU gives one flying fuck about ukraine or its people. they are a means to a end. to answer your question russia invaded after seeing nato (US) and the cia fucking around and finding out in the ukraine. "For years, the Kremlin made it emphatically clear that inviting Ukraine to join NATO would cross a red line that threatened Russia’s vital security interests." "Evidence grew in recent years that the United States had begun to treat Ukraine as a NATO ally in all but name. Steps included pouring nearly $3 billion in “security assistance” (primarily weaponry) into the country since 2014." "Predictably, such conduct ultimately produced a geopolitical explosion. U.S. and NATO officials used Ukraine as a strategic pawn against Russia and are now fuming with outrage at Moscow’s decision to go to war. Russia’s invasion was indeed a horrid overreaction, but it was far from being unprovoked. The Ukrainian people, unfortunately, are the ones paying a high price in blood for the gullibility of their country’s leaders and the shocking arrogance of U.S. leaders." https://www.cato.org/commentary/washington-helped-trigger-ukraine-war# standing by for "the CATO institute is a secret KGB run dis/mis/trans-information campaign! "The split between Washington and both Paris and Berlin about admitting Ukraine to NATO emerged clearly in 2008 when President George W. Bush lobbied ferociously for extending such an invitation. French and German leaders firmly opposed that step at the NATO summit. In her memoir, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice recalled that German Chancellor Angela Merkel was especially outspoken, dismissing Ukraine as a “corrupt mess” and warning that a membership offer would dangerously provoke Russia. The allied opposition held, and the best that Bush could come away with was a summit declaration affirming that “someday” Ukraine would become a NATO member.

1. Because it is not true, you are actually spreading Russian disinformation. There were meetings and discussions but there was never anything singed and NATO leadership denies there was an agreement. Gorbachev FALSELY claimed there was an agreement and ultimately that lie was used by Putin (and now you), as a justification for war. 2. You cherry picking ideas AND timelines...was there a threat of Ukraine joining NATO in 2014 when Putin invaded Ukraine the first time? 3. As of today May 28,2024, Ukraine is NOT in NATO. In fact, the only discussions about adding them have come AFTER Russia invaded twice.1 point

Gents, I'm all for healthy debate, but engaging with a known troll is pointless.

Tip: you can delete everything in these links after the “?” and it’ll still work. The fbclid (Instagram uses igshid, others use similar) ties the link you share back to your Facebook account, which is how you and the link clicker will eventually be suggested as friends, among other things.1 point

It also so far has been in shithole countries (compared to our standards) and any death cases that actually have details beyond just a stat admit multiple underlying conditions. This is more than likely just a repeat of the same fear mongering bullshit we saw with COVID. They want to keep/increase control, and they’ll do anything to accomplish that goal.1 point

To be honest, I'd rather die than have Biden or Newsom (or any other government officials Rs or Ds) tell me how to survive another "pandemic". They will fuck this one up too.1 point

Pretty much the same except they don’t say airframes available (at least they didn’t at Sheppard when I went through with Orville and Wilbur). We wore told how many engines we had in the drop and we all tried to figure out what the combination was when our resident crusty bastard came in and said “It’s 3 Buffs, one with an engine failure, and the rest of you washed out”. God Bless you Guido, wherever you are.1 point
