So we have a stronger system. Hard to know for sure what a man is capable of.

Are we not to believe Trump’s praise of Putin?
And we knew EXACTLY what Biden was capable of….and yet here we are. :dunce: :dunce: :dunce: :dunce: :dunce:

Don't you also need to tie a knot in the center of the flag for it to be an international symbol of distress?

No. And it may not be the same for other nation's flags, but the Flag Code says upside down is only for dire emergency.
Agreed, my US flag has been upside down since the Afghanistan debacle

If you voted for Biden, you are the most gigantic asshole known to man. Wholly uninformed and absolutely dangerous to America. Please stop voting.

Belorussian railway workers sabotage the main track used by the Russians for the Kiev campaign.

The Ukraine Army claims that they eliminated the fifth in a row Russian General - a commander of the 8th Rus. Army of the South region Lt. Gen. Andrey Mordvichev. He was eliminated in Chornobaivka township near Kherson city airport.

Deal! Pretty sure you knew I was being over the top, but I still would like for Ukraine to be exposed for the money laundering center that it is.

Can we expose the US while we’re at it? It’s probably way worse in that regard.

Yes! That's part of it as well. Might have missed it, but I did ask how much if that 13.5 billion in aid we're giving Ukraine will end back up in our politicians pockets...or their kids pockets.

True. I’ll bet there’s some properties in NY that fit that bill. 8-)

Yeah

Because concern over a non-belligerent country being invaded and leveled by a neighboring superpower should totally compete with concern over money laundering

makes total sense

I can do nothing to help Ukraine. I want to know who of our elected officials profited off Ukraine, and who had a hand in pushing this to the point it is at. I know that will never happen, but I can always hope.

I wouldn't know as I don't watch Tucker, but if he is urging some restraint in buying what our media is putting out, then that comparison works for me.

What is our media putting out that is other than Ukraine has been invaded by Russia in a war of aggression?

I’m seriously interested in what is making you so passive aggressive about this. You remind me of klam

Ukrainians on that island that said fuck you and died, but didn't.
Russian cosmonauts taking extra space suits with them so they could wear the Ukrainian colors home.
Bombing of a maternity ward.

But probably the biggest issue is the either "your all in, or a Putin apologist" line of reasoning. This coming from the media that have been caught lying way too many times over the last couple years to be believed now.

I'm simply taking a what and see attitude.

I DO NOT want to go to war and keep seeing this unrestrained media pushing it. The same media that had over half of Democrats believing if you caught COVID, 50% went to the hospital.

There’s s lot of crazy all wrapped up tight in that

you hit on all kinds of easily goofed fog of war stuff, like the Ukrainians who did in fact tell a warship to fuck off, and whose island was in fact shelled, and whom Kyiv list contact with and thought they were dead, later to learn they had been captured

Finishing up with the COVID stuff was a nice touch

Yes. Either “fog of war” or a carefully orchestrated social media campaign.
