"As I’ve said before, some seem to be the sort that gets a dopamine hit out of scrawling graffiti in truckstop mens’ rooms."

I'm an old lady. I don't use men's bathrooms, truckstop or otherwise, and never have. You on the other hand seem to have intimate knowledge of graffiti in men's bathrooms at truck stops.

"What about Syria? Or do you think the people want us there? Hahaha"

In October 2019, President Trump ordered the withdrawal of troops in Northern Syria. Pentagon officials told the President he should leave 200 there. What he didn't know was that they lied to him. They left 900 there instead, and never told him.

New York Post - 2020:

Retiring diplomat says defense officials misled Trump on troop count in Syria

The diplomat, "James Jeffrey, US special representative for Syria engagement was a Never Trumper, but was impressed with Trump's successes in the Middle East, and is now pushing the incoming Biden administration to adopt it.“

"The truth is President Trump and his policies are quite popular among all of our popular states in the region. Name me one that’s not happy.”

Which for the Biden administration, meant they had to go.

Ukraine is actually part of a much bigger problem!

We have a government that is no longer accountable to the people, period.

We have a government with bureaucrats that at the senior levels think they can do whatever they want. And they can! Has Comey and his illegal Trump Tower wire tapes stood accountable for this? Will Fauci ever be held accountable? Will Clapper be held accountable for illegal mass surveillance he oversaw/managed and lying under oath about it? https://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2013/jun/07/privacy-wyden-clapper-nsa-video Who that was involved in our torture program and kidnappings has gone to prison?

Not even our own laws matter to these folks: Violations of FISA, lying under oath, misappropriation of money, selective enforcement of laws, over reach by government and essentially violating basic rights (4th and 5th amendment), zero transparency (censorship / gutted FOIA / over use of classification system / use of personal communications systems so they have control i.e. HRC server). Let’s go back to the HRC server issue. She was operating a server illegally on which material above TS was being held. She had signed papers that spell out how this is illegal and she did it anyway, and what ever happened her?

You, the tax payer and public, no longer have any rights or say in this republic. We have become a technocracy, where the only interests truly considered are for a few oligarchs who have influence on government, while the technocrats writing ever more regulations are no longer accountable to the masses or even held to any sort of Constitutional standard.

If you want to see something scary, ask a federal agent, what the 3rd, 6th, 7th, 8th, or 9th amendment say even in basic terms. These are people sworn in to defend the US Constitution, and they literally would fail a civics test and do not know what is says.

Ukraine is the Biden administration going to war, without declaring war nor Congress approving of this. He just decided to do this: https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/ukrainian-president-zelenskiy-holding-talks-with-biden-adviser-says-2021-12-09/ Were you asked? I wasn’t asked. Congress wasn’t asked. I don’t think the governments of most Euro nations asked to help pay for this today were asked.

—What national security interest for us had to be served which required that move?

—How has this war made me “Joe Public” safer, wealthier, or more free?

And all you’ll get as a reply is some nonsense about “democracy, sovereignty and human rights.”

Funny,

I sent you a post which is spot on with what you just posted. They lied to Trump and no one is accountable.

Our government needs reigned in, i.e. limit on scope of powers, budgets, personal accountability/culpability of leaders, and greater transparency for the public.

Our government has become like a run-away nuclear chain reaction and it’ll eventually lead to a melt down, even with an enormous security apparatus which is aimed inward today, i.e. targeting the public.

The self correcting mechanisms in the past no longer work and dissent can be suppressed which is convenient for anyone in power. That allows the status quo to continue, but the pressure builds. I am afraid it will lead to a more volatile and bigger event once things do go off in the future.

There is still a good percentage of Americans that cherish their freedom and rights. With a massive intel and security apparatus, censorship and media control you can steer things or suppress them for a while.

>>>>“Mum! I’m home, I’m in Ukraine! I’ve dreamed of hearing these words for so long!” Latanska said. “Hoping, believing, waiting, preparing. But still they came as a surprise. Two years, one month and one week of enemy captivity after 86 hellish days defending Mariupol.”
Latanska said she would be reunited with her son on 26 June.>>>>

This UKE mother got her son back ALIVE. Unlike the moms of these 13 American Heroes who were needlessly slaughtered in the Kabul airport attack.

kabulmilitaryheroes.jpg

I live near the home of Navy Corpsman Max Soviak. I drive through his hometown frequently. His family's home is still decorated in his memory nearly three years after his death.

Max's last words to his mom were, “Don’t worry, mom, my guys got me; they won’t let anything happen to me." She later found out that they all died together.

Rachel Soviak got her son back in a coffin.

These are the service members you should be posting about. I'd venture to say, the only people on this site who care about a UKE soldier returning home alive are you and a few zeepers.

You are the most disgusting poster on this site. You honor UKE service members but never say a word about ours. This country is being destroyed from within and you continue to shove UKE propaganda down our throats.

Try and show a little concern for America.

My son is on a USN ship, now it's his turn.

I don't hear any of these big Ukrainian pro-war proponents care to much about how this war is causing proxy conflicts to light up, how our enemies are getting armed with more advanced weapons, how our folks are being attacked in Iraq, Syria, off the coast of Yemen... This puts our kids at risk.

Do not get me wrong, the military is there to fight our wars. But where and for what cause we go to war, should be prudently and thoroughly thought through.

Yes, I too get the feeling that some of these folks pretend to be Conservative, American, etc. but in reality have interests which they put ahead of what is best for America.

I suppose that is a problem a diverse and multi-ethnic nation will face. There will always be those who still have loyalties, or hatred, from some past life even though they now are citizens here.

"I sent you a post which is spot on with what you just posted. They lied to Trump and no one is accountable."

I just read your other post. Mine goes along with yours because it proves how out-of-control this country is, and how it's being manipulated. General Milley called our enemy China, and said he'd give them a heads-up if we ever decided to attack them. And nothing happened to him. He retired with his pension and benefits intact. And I bet he's still got his security clearance too. How many times did Obama ignore adverse decisions by the Courts, even the Supreme Court, and continued to do what they were told they couldn't. And they did it with impunity. Isn't there somebody in this country responsible to make sure those final court decisions are followed? If not, then what the hell good is the court system? I'm sick and tired of innocent people being targeted, and the actual criminals being allowed to walk free to do the targeting. The inmates are running the asylum.

Zeepers lie to our faces saying they support President Trump, because if they say otherwise, they'll be thrown off this site.

We all know zeepers put UKRAINE FIRST..."Slava Ukraini". They don’t even try to hide it. They’d bring America to her knees just to keep the Zelensky/Biden Laundromat in business.

When Election Day rolls around, they’ll be voting for whomever promises to give Ukraine the most funding...and it ain’t gonna be Trump.

Here's who zeepers are in bed with:

“I too get the feeling that some of these folks pretend to be Conservative, American, etc. but in reality have interests which they put ahead of what is best for America.”

Totally agree. However, many would disagree regarding identifying the pretend conservative.

In regards to FR forum commenters, ponder these two quotes that come to mind:

1. “Those of us who shout the loudest about Americanism in making character assassinations are all too frequently those who ignore some of the basic principles of Americanism:
The right to criticize.
The right to hold unpopular beliefs.
The right to protest.
The right of independent thought.”
Margaret Chase Smith

2. “Freedom of speech is not what it used to be in America. It has been so abused by some that it is not exercised by others. The American people are sick and tired of seeing innocent people smeared and guilty people whitewashed.”
Margaret Chase Smith

That’s a totally bogus argument, and completely unfair. Revmom has her area of specialization, namely the sitreps in Ukraine. She doesn’t have to cover the waterfront. Caring about Ukrainians is not an act of treason, and doesn’t mean a lack of concern for American servicemen. I care about a number of issues, including Ukraine, but mainly about the border chaos, the election, and of course Israel (I live there). But as for the latter, there are daily casualties from Gaza and Lebanon, and have been for half a year. But not posting about them doesn’t mean I don’t care about them. Some of them are kin and friends of kin, whom I’ve known since they were wee bairns. But that’s really not relevant to the news, just to a plea for sympathy, which accomplishes nothing.

With regards to Ukraine, the political and economic situation in Russia concerns me more than the sitreps in Ukraine. I’m not a military man, and both sides lie about their successes and casualties, and those of the other side.

Russia’s economy is deteriorating. If that results in Russia being unable to continue its war in Ukraine, or start another one in Moldova, all the better. I could care less if Putin stays in power or not. That’s Russia’s business. Russia has been a sh!t-show ever since its inception, and probably always will be. Nobody’s fault. They are landlocked, and admire tyranny, and have had all the rebelliousness stomped out of them by the latter. Thomas Sowell and Alexis DE Tocqueville both have remarked on it now and then. To each their own.

Had NATO wanted to take Russia over, they missed the opportunity long ago, in 1991, for the simple reason that they had no interest. It’s a sh!t show, and one that has buried Napoleon and Hitler. Why jump into a slop bucket. Has to be contained. Can’t be remedied.

Kudos to Zelensky for halting them, albeit at great loss of blood and treasure, much of which was unnecessary but exacerbated by Brandon’s phony “support”. Expensive but ineffective. Endless wars endlessly dragged out.

He’s doing it to Israel, too. Probably will to Taiwan when the time comes. IMPEAT FOTY SIX!

I sure hope so. Thank you. I’m betting my life that we will be victorious. Yours is on the line, too, down the line. Same thing with Ukraine.

Enemies: Hamas, Hizbollah, Islamic Jihad, other not case terrorists, Brainwashed college kids, Brandon, Blinken, Mayorkas, Putin, China, Iran, North Korea, DNC... Whole lot of enemy-in’ going on. For a change?

“Democrats are the most tolerant, loving, inclusive, open-minded people in the world as long as you agree with them. If you don’t you are a racist, bigoted, stupid person on the face of this earth”. sadly this concept has been extended here in FR by many to anyone who disagrees with your position on just about everything, but esp about issues surrounding this war in Ukraine.

I don’t claim to know what is going on. I don’t have the certainty that many here claim to have in their posts, but i do have my opinion. That’s all any of us can have. Anyone who claims they know with 100% certainty what is going on and why and disparage those who don’t agree with them as “low IQ”, XYZ stooge…. are not being honest.

I Think(not feel) strongly that my positions are correct, but not to the point that I believe I can’t be wrong about any part of them. In the past I have let my feelings get the better of me and been less than kind to others who disagree with me, and on this forum that is wrong.

Time will hopefully get the truth out about all the events leading up to and during this conflict, but I have my doubts.

People with strongly held beliefs do not often change them even when presented with opposing facts, cognitive dissonance plays a big part in this, and this applies to far more than just this war in Ukraine

The my team vs your team mentality comes to mind and that plays here, in politics, and overall world views.

One personal example is that I have been told that if I support aid to Ukraine, and xiden also supports aid to Ukraine that I am a 100% supporter of him and everything he has done. My reply has been I support xiden on aid to Ukraine, but still disagree with him on the level and restrictions. I say more and no restrictions, xiden signed the PACT act for veterans, and I support that, besides that I can’t think of anything that “he” has done that I do support. But to many here because I support those two things I am a xiden stooge.

As a result of this kind of “thinking”, we are where we are here on FR, and elsewhere

My 2 cents
