The Biden family had no business being in Ukraine — no personal ties, no business relationships, and no expertise or experience in the energy sector.
Yet, Hunter Biden showed up from America. He sat on the board of a Ukrainian gas company called Burisma and received millions of dollars in exchange. Another American was sitting next to Hunter on the same board of the same company — Devon Archer. As a longtime Biden family friend and business associate, Archer says the arrangement was his whole idea.

Beginning on January 20, 2011, then-Vice President Joe Biden wrote a personal letter to Archer to thank him for the business opportunity. The letter, which has been analyzed and authenticated, is quickly becoming known as “the smoking-gun evidence” that confirms Joe Biden’s close personal involvement in the scheme.

Re: The Ukraine Crisis
Zelensky gave this Nazi who served in the 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (initially 1st Galician, later 1st Ukranian) a raised fist. Because fighting against the Russians is all that matters I guess. If that isn't evidence of Zelensky's Nazi sympathies, I don't know what is.

Your own witness started his testimony by saying there isn't enough evidence to impeach.
Time to put up or shut up because right now you got nothing.
That's the difference between his hearing and the first one: the trump hearing was first-hand testimony from trump appointees/hires in their own words. The current hearing so far has been nothing but Jerkin' Jimmy Jordan howling in rage while shaking his cage and flinging feces at the jeering spectators.

Just listen to the sickening discussion about how BlackRock and others are going to "rebuild" Ukraine, when in others words, it means, get a slice of the pie.

Re: The Ukraine Crisis
Indeed. No one talks about BlackRock or anything else if Russia wasn't taking Ukranian territory and calling it it's own. And this started long before since Russia has been sitting on Crimea which they illegally took back in 2014. The Ukraine issue is entirely of Putin's, and Russia's, doing. Biden may be using it for his own purposes, but no one can do that if Russia hadn't decided to start picking Ukraine apart a good decade ago.UNI88 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 29, 2023 1:07 pmI don't trust neo-cons either but let's put the blame where it belongs.

The troops you speak of were Ukrainians that switched sides. They weren't interested in killing their families and friends over speaking Russian so they switched sides.
I already posted the link of the gentleman who was asked to rebuild the Ukrainian military in 2016. Do you even understand why he was needed? Because the Ukrainians couldn't get anyone to come to the war against their E Ukrainian brothers and sisters, so Ukraine had to resort to nationalist paramilitary groups. That's why we kept hearing about Nazis, because Ukraine filled it's version of the National Guard with paramilitary and placed them on the border with the Russian speaking population living in the Donbass. For what's it's worth the gentlemen did say the term "nazi" was Russian propaganda, but the troops they used directly against their own people were pretty nasty.

And you keep glossing over the fact that Russia was already in those areas at least as early as 2014 with their own regular troops as well as multiple groups of Russian-sourced militias. Russia's invasion didn't just happen, many of those 10,000 dead you talk about were caught in the cross fire of Russian-supplied and Russian-backed troops. Russian military has been in those parts of Ukraine for at least a decade - you just ignore that because it doesn't fit your narrative.
The troops you speak of were Ukrainians that switched sides. They weren't interested in killing their families and friends over speaking Russian so they switched sides.
I already posted the link of the gentleman who was asked to rebuild the Ukrainian military in 2016. Do you even understand why he was needed? Because the Ukrainians couldn't get anyone to come to the war, so Ukraine had to resort to nationalist paramilitary groups. That's why we kept hearing about Nazis, because Ukraine filled it's version of the National Guard with paramilitary and placed them on the border with the Russian speaking population.
I'm not going to argue that there weren't/aren't fascists in Ukrainian army/militias but they were/are just as prevalent in the russian army/militias (see founder of the Wagner Group) so that argument is a red herring.

But the Wagner group was never used to kill 10,000+ Russian civilians.UNI88 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 29, 2023 2:54 pmSo your Swiss expert is saying that russians Igor Girkin (former FSB colonel) and Sergey Dubinskiy (former russian army general) weren't in Ukraine in 2014?

Anyway, the large majority of the Donbass military were Ukrainians switching sides. Was Russia helping where they could? Yes, but when the Chief of the SBU says he's only seen 56 Russian soldiers from the start, it makes you realize Russia was either really good at hiding the militias GF describes, or they were smart enough to keep their assistance to the border.

This article was 1.5 years into the Ukraine war.
PYATYKHATKY - The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) has registered the involvement of 56 Russians in the military actions against Ukraine, SBU Chief Vasyl Hrytsak said.
‘We documented involvement of 56 Russians in the military actions against Ukraine from the moment the military conflict unfolded,’ he said at a press conference in the village of Pyatykhatky, where the SBU basis located.
