Ukraine DESTROYS 3 Major Russian Oil Facilities; Putin LASHES Out | Breaking News With The Enforcer The Enforcer Jun 20, 2024 4:00 p.m. EDT 11:21 Minutes
Today, we learn that Ukraine hit three oil depot/refineries in Russia overnight. Ukrainian attack drones successfully struck a Russian Lukoil oil depot in Krasnodar Krai this morning, setting the facility ablaze.
We also learn that South Korea has begun considering sending arms and military aid to Ukraine in an unprecedented move. As a result of North Korea's new defensive pact, the South Koreans are becoming concerned of the possibility of war breaking out on the Korean Peninsula.
We have also heard that Russia is considering changing its nuclear doctrine from defensive to a "first-strike" doctrine. Putin continues to escalate the war in Ukraine as tensions continue to rise around the world.
Well, now we know why he wears high heels!
x: "Maybe it’s time, after two years, to let that one meme go."
That particular scene is from 2014, so 10 years ago.
In 2015 Zelenskyy first starred in the TV series Servant of the People, in which he played the president of Ukraine and which helped get him elected as president in 2019.
The key context to understand about bimboeruption's gif is that Zelenskyy did it as a parody and satire, mocking the Ukrainian boy band Kazaky.
Zelenskyy was mocking typical rock bands.
Here is Kazaky, a Russian rock band and the Village People:
Now, regardless of the parody, satire and mocking in the Zelenskyy gif, the key point to understand here is that it is the very core of our anti-Ukers' argument against Ukraine aid.
It's their answer -- their only answer -- to the fact that morally, you cannot stand by and pretend to be "neutral" when a murderer and rapist is assaulting his victims.
Our anti-Ukers have to claim that Ukrainians are not worthy of our support because they are corrupt and immoral, a dictatorship of Nazis, etc.
Theirs' is the rapist's defense of: "she was asking for it because she dressed and acted provocatively, and besides, by definition, you can't rape a prostitute."
That is the core essence of our anti-Ukers' argument and bimboeruption's Zelenskyy gif is Exhibit A in their case against Zelenskyy.
And yet their Exhibit A is utterly destroyed, once we realize the context was a parody and satire to mock bands which were highly popular back then in Ukraine, Russia, the US and elsewhere...
You’re just as fake as a $3 bill.
Lol!
How long did it take you to put this sh*t show together?
So, Exlinsky running butt naked through a grocery store was just a fun parody, too?
Whipping his little wanker out and pretending to play the piano was just a big belly laugh as well?
Exlinsky is a perverted, nasty, little pig.
I would love to see you’re post if this was Putin.
Btw, do not ping me again.
“Incomprehensible that any conservative U.S. patriot would supports Putin repetitive aggression against nations .. and now his invasion of Ukraine.”
YouCraynee is as corrupt as Ruzzia.
We don’t like our Tax Dollars going to a Corrupt Country.
How hard is that for you to understand.
Let Europe sort it out.
Red6: "Where have they gone?
How did that happen?"
They're still here.
In the USA today there are nearly 10 million people of native American descent (not including Elizabeth "Pocahontas" Warren) which is roughly 3% of all Americans.
That is about double the number of US-American Indians alive in, say, the year 1500.
Today, around 20% of eligible Native Americans live on 326 reservations with a total area of about 87,000 square mile -- roughly the size of Minnesota or Michigan, which would make them the 12th largest state in the country.
It's also roughly 3% of the total US land area.
US Indian reservations are semi-sovereign, self-governing and subsidized by $billions annually from Federal government.
Were Native Americans always treated fairly?
No, obviously not, but for over the past 100 years Federal courts and Congress have paid out many $billions in compensation and reparations for our past wrong doings.
Red6: "How did that that become “American?”
Funny when we label these people as “illegals” today."
You might have forgotten, there was a war in 1846 which actually began with the Texas Revolution in 1836 and that had left a large area of disputed territory.
Those disputes resulted in the 1846 war, which the US won.
Today Hispanics make up almost 20% of the US population, and include huge numbers at all levels of elected and appointed government service.
Red6: "How did these become “possessions” or “territories?”"
In 1898 there was a war, the US won.
It's worth remembering:
Exclusive: Iraq seeks quick exit of US forces but no deadline set, PM saysThere is no doubt the US had a huge problem with Saddam Hussein, with the result that US forces are still in Iraq today, over 30 years later.
Red6: "That was literally, about the 20th time we have been asked to leave in the last 21 years, in a country where less than 3% of the population approve of us being there (I wonder why our state department don’t publish those stats?) in what the majority sees as occupation."
No -- Iraq's current government, whatever its political posturing, has never requested a US withdrawal, much less set a date for it.
Red6: "No one, is willing to use force like we do (at the drop of a dime), and then we lecture others.
No one has the size of “sphere of influence” we have, and then we lecture others about how they don’t have a right to such.
But... All you need to do is throw around terms like democracy, sovereignty, and human rights (as we torture, kidnap, engage in assassinations and co-sponsor terrorism).
That makes it all good."
I'm certain you understand, there's a huge difference between murder and self-defense -- the one can get you executed as a criminal, for the other you might be awarded as a hero.
The difference is a matter of justice, and the US does its best to stay within the boundaries of internationally recognized law and justice.
By stark contrast, Russia is an aggressive dictatorship pursuing Ruskiy Mir empire building by whatever methods it deems necessary.
Red6: "Some conceptual idea is used to “sell” another invasion, attack, coups where no national security argument can be made.
Let me ask you this, did we sponsor the coups in Venezuela 2020 because we’re worried they might invade us?
Attack us?
What realistic threat did they pose?
Do you think maybe it’s possible that the FACT (not some conceptual idea) that they are a major oil producers has something to do with it?"
The fact is there is zero evidence -- none, nada, zilch evidence -- to support Russian propaganda claims that Pres. Trump's government had anything to do with "Operation Gideon" against Venezuela.
Bla bla bla
Don’t ping me again please.
No, problem, just stop posting lies and nonsense, and you'll never see another word from me.
It was a labor of love -- nothing I enjoy more.
ANKE69: "So, Exlinsky running butt naked through a grocery store was just a fun parody, too?
Whipping his little wanker out and pretending to play the piano was just a big belly laugh as well?
Exlinsky is a perverted, nasty, little pig."
So you keep saying, but it's still the rapist's defense of "she's a wh*re and by definition you can't rape a wh*re"
Your arguments here amount to: "Because Zelenskyy did some risqué comedy routines, therefore Vlad the Invader has every right to invade, destroy and enslave Ukraine." ??!
Seriously, how does that even work in your own mind?
ANKE69: "I would love to see you’re post if this was Putin."
Putin?
Vlad the Invader??
The Leningrad Lunatic?
The Old Soviet KGB's Lt.Col. from H*ll?
Seriously? You want me to defend Putin?
Why?
ANKE69 to BroJoeK: "Btw, do not ping me again."
Ah, the final resort of cowards and liars.
You and your comrades in words love to dish it out, but you guys are real snowflakes when anyone responds, aren't you?
It's fine, no problem.
Stop posting your idiotic crap with my name attached.
Get help!
“It’s fine, no problem.”
He is asily ignored :)
Clown.
And yet... they & you can continue to post whatever wild insulting lies and nonsense you wish, without fear of response?
That's not the Free Republic I know.
Are you telling me the name "Free" is just a little anachronistic these days?
Clown.
