    ^ The quote above attributed to Biden is fake.

    "So I imagine - I don't have any proof of this, but I imagine that Putin watching January 6 happening was basically a green light to, you know, start planning things in Europe." Her take is the far right in America support Putin because they see him fighting for them in a global white Christian nationalist cause whereas they oppose Xi because China is neither white nor Christian.

    I don't think even ardent Trump supporters should be surprised by the fact Putin rolled Donald by playing to his vanity. The George W Bush story about the cross and George looking into Putin's soul was... odd. The same with Obama and the phone calls starting with a 45 minute Putin lecture. The fact that we have all these analysts & specialists who devote their lives to studying the Kremlin, and it all comes down to a handful personal interactions impacting the course of history.

    C’mon, if you completely alter words and context it’s an almost indirect quote.
    Remind me. We'll send him a red cap and a Speedo.

    Here is a good article that covers for Biden by shifting the blame to the Defense Secretary the Secretary of State. Biden can’t be responsible for WW 3.0, the people under him are at fault.

    Come on Scotty, at least embed it so we can all get a good laugh out of "media gaslighting" over Joe Rogan's "this is serious" face.

    Here's a better quote: "The idea that we’re going to send in offensive equipment and have planes and tanks and trains going in with American pilots and American crews, just understand … that’s called ‘World War III.’"

    Your article doesn't support your argument. The main takeaway is this, "The Pentagon leaders ultimately came around to approving the tanks as part of a medium- and long-term capability for Ukraine and to create an avenue for Ukraine to get the European tanks it needs now."


    On Rod's, Scotty's, et al., corruption narrative, to the extent corruption exists we are seeing its results on the battlefield. Even though Ukraine is outgunned and outnumbered by the second largest military in the world they are significantly outperforming Russia at warfighting. That's a direct observable indication Ukraine is much less corrupt than its Russian opponent. Contrary to all the talking points too, Ukraine is using NATO weapons tracking systems and American & European observers/accountants are in the country working to track everything.

    Good luck to the auditors and all, but I hope some of the cash Ukraine gets (not that there's a lot of that) funds their domestic missile programs. Not being traceable to any specific donor would be a bonus.

    Oh, so fake news then, thanks for pointing that out.

    Maybe these tankie decisions were made during Biden’s nap time.

    I don’t follow any idiots on SM so TGR is about the only place that gives me a window into the kind of drivel that people with no judgment consume. Today however I saw that Google news now has a section devoted to them.

    You missed the sarc.
    Not every meme is true. Even if it’s funny.
    Factcheckers gotta prove birds are real and the earth is round-ish.

    It’s up on the YouTube. I don’t recall who said it, but the line, “A bully will keep being a bully until he gets his nose bloodied” summed up for me how we got to Ukraine.

    It seems that sanctions against Russia do not work so well.

    Before anyone gets upset, this is simply a réflection on the idiotic us and Europe sanctions, not justification for the Russian invasion.

    He was trying to dumb it down enough for West Virginia to understand it but didn't go far enough obviously.

    Well, I hear that facts have alternatives. But, like, that's just my opinion, man.
