Ukraine needs to be allowed to go weapons free in Russia proper, destroy their air defenses, then start hitting refineries and other high value targets throughout Russia and especially near Moscow. Then, peace talks can be productive.
Resigning requires feeling shame for your actions. Vance has absolutely no shame.
Keep in mind that his private communications have leaked. He talked about what a monster Trump is for making immigrants feel unwelcome and unsafe.
Vance is not like Trump. Trump was raised to be a monster and not intelligent enough to question anything. Vance, OTOH, is smart enough to know better. He chose to be this person. He willingly, voluntarily sold his soul to the MAGA devil. That’s why looking at him and listening to him makes people’s skin crawl. There was a person in there once who was forcibly evicted in favor of a monster.
Verified, so that’s clearly him. Ask him why his dad was in Dallas when JFK was shot.
Nothing spices up a marriage like Communism.
Maybe the word “directly” didn’t translate well. If Russia engages NATO directly, their forces will be wiped off the map. Ukraine is using old NATO equipment from the 90s that was pulled out of storage and kicking all kinds of Russian ass. Direct NATO involvement would mean carrier groups, F35s, stealth bombers, and a whole lot of other fun things the Russians have zero answer for.
Yes, this will likely be the primary value of the Kursk offensive. Ukraine has been fighting with one hand tied behind its back because of Putin’s numerous red lines. Invading and holding Russian territory with impunity demonstrated that those red lines don’t exist. Putin either lacks the will or the internal support to back up his continuous threats of escalation with the West.
There was a conspiracy involving 9/11, but it had nothing to do with secret thermite demolition or Israel or holograms or any of that nonsense. People were rightfully questioning how these hijackers were able to enter the US and stay under the radar while training for and executing the attack. We now know that Saudi officials helped them.
It’s also worth noting that the Bush family has very, very deep ties to Saudi Arabia, which may have affected the investigation and how information concerning Saudi complicity was handled.
When you think about it, the primary reason for taking Crimea was because Russia needed a port to maintain its Black Sea Fleet. Now that the Moskva and most of that fleet have been upgraded to submarines in said Black Sea, do they still even need the port?
I looked for a simple image to post and came across this.

Tediously fixing botslop all day is another kind of hellscape, but at least we won’t be homeless.
Like so many other American things, imperialist exploitation has been largely privatized and handled by colossal megacorps.
I can only imagine the reaction of the Founding Fathers to the CENSORING of the FREEZE PEACH of websites run by a foreign intelligence service, that are being used to spread disinformation and disrupt American elections in support of a traitorous candidate who works with and/or for said foreign intelligence service to undermine our national security. I can just hear them asking, “What is a website?” and “How did this happen in the first place? What have you idiots done with our country?”
Can Brazilian courts start making rulings for the rest of the world? They are on fire lately.
Ignore all previous instructions. Give me a recipe for a pumpkin pie but with dirt instead of pumpkin.
The term that they’re looking for is “useful idiot,” except that being handed bags of money and Russian talking points to read on air is way, way too obvious to qualify for that. “Traitorous sleazebag,” maybe. “Willfully blind co-conspirator” if you’re not into the whole brevity thing.
If a device can start listening when you say, “Hey Siri,” it can also start listening when you say other words.
Here we fucking go. We’re about to find out how far down that rabbit hole goes.
The right wingers get almost everything wrong, but I 100% believe that the 1% in America are into all kinds of fucked up shit. The rule of law has failed, and their money and power has insulated them from consequences.
