"The war in Ukraine is in its sixth month, and there’s no end in sight. Here’s what we know…
Almost everything you heard about the war in Ukraine from U.S. media over the course of March, April and May was a lie. **** It’s not that I’m pro-Russian — I’m not. I’m pro-truth. And I don’t defend the Russian invasion in any way (although I do understand it).
Even Bloomberg and The New York Times are now starting to admit that the war is a lost cause for Ukraine and the U.S. economy is suffering from sanctions aimed at Russia. But it’s a little late for legacy media to get their story straight.
What we know right now is the economic damage to the U.S. economy will get much worse before the economy gets better. Biden won’t stop the sanctions soon. That means the trashing of the U.S. economy will continue."

“Just what does Ukraine have on biden? What tidbit will they reveal if he doesn’t cough up the money?”
Which leads us back to the Trump-Zelensky call that sissy-Ukrainian-quisling-in-a-US-military-uniform-dough-boy Vindeman helped the deep state try to remove Trump. Trump specifically asked Zelensky to see what he could find because he was hearing some bad stuff abt Xiden ... not knowing his own FIB sat on Hunter’s treasure trove of a laptop. As*-kisser Zelensky, who came across as a real suck-up on that call, said he would do it. Before anyone votes on it, let’s see what he found. Bet he’ll say nothing. And that is the amount that should be given to him. Let his good neighbors the Europeans help him out.
No US entanglement in the internal affairs of another country (we know that shipped sailed over 100 years ago thanks to bailing out the Europeons again).
That's become patently obvious.
I propose Restitutional Labor in Ukraine and Russia for those Neocons and any Ukraine Boosters we can get a hold of, regardless of how or where.
Let's put them where they want to put our money.
They certainly owe that labor to Civilized Society, like they say we "owe" our taxpayer funds to unaccountable Global Governance.
And here comes another hyperbolic Neocon, fist pumping for the global Matriarchy!
You don't impress anyone.
I’m not fine with giving Ukraine $750B. However, I’m perfectly fine with sending them equipment/supplies, etc. to kill more Russians. Considering what we spend during the Cold War and since to counter Russia, we’re getting an incredibly bargain to hammer the hell out of the Russian military.
Excellent idea!!
The bigger story for me is that a failure in post-WW2 EU-US foreign policy.
The thinking that developed since 1944 was if we get our enemies to eventually become “civilized” world citizens through (global) trade which will lead to an economic inter-dependency, then countries will collaborate and cooperate and will avoid war because the $$$$$$$$$$ cost is too high. And peace will break out. It started within the EEC. With the Soviets, it started a few decades later by letting them buy some Pepsi, and the rest is history LOL. An enemy doesn’t change its stripes.
First, it isn't hyperbole if it is actually happening. Which it is.
Second, I don't know why you people seem to have a fetish for things like the "global matriarchy" and the incredibly juvenile "globohomo", but they have nothing to do with this war. This war is just a classic Russian territorial grab, no more and no less.
It has nothing to do with the WEF, Global Reset, or any of that crap, except to the extent Putin is trying to use those terms disguise his naked aggression.
before starting work ...
Not so fast, Neocon. This war is the result of NATO expansion, first and foremost. The case has been laid out for anyone without an ingrained blood lust to understand. If you choose to ignore it, that’s fine, but remember; your old politics are coming to a rapid end. We simply ran out of money, and in your case, common sense.
NATO expansion affected only the timing, because once a country joins NATO, invasion becomes much more risky for Russia. Other than preventing Russian expansion, a country joining NATO had zero impact on Russia.
Remember the aid to Africa concerts in ‘86? We are the world? All that money raised disappeared. It was like the prose written on the bathroom wall:
When afflicted with the crabs take the ashes from a lighted cigarette and rub it in the affected area. It won’t cure the crabs but it sure feels good!
You need to learn to pay for your own wargasms chin.
However, I personally wouldn't support massive funds for "reconstruction".
Pure propaganda.
It was all a lie? Oh Russia didn’t invade Ukraine?
A lost cause? Ukraine is preparing an offensive.
To the last Ukrainian? Then how can they rebuild after the war? (See lost cause also).
No the author is not “pro truth”.
Oh don’t reason with these Russia lovers.
It’s “to the last Ukrainian” in this article. The next one will tell you we really want to invade Russia directly.
End all of the boomeranging suicide sanctions immediately and make deals to ensure the free flow of fuel, fertilizer, and food.
Not only is Putin trying to reinstitute the Soviet Union or a Russian empire, that’s exactly what he said in his speeches justifying the war.
And all these Moscow Roses ignore that Russia was demanding we withdraw from existing NATO countries. That was a deliberate impossible demand because Putin wanted to invade.
And on top of that, nobody is stupid enough to invade the homeland of a nuclear-armed country. That alone protects Russia from invasion by NATO.
The only thing NATO "threatened" was Russia's desire to threaten/intimidate/bully/conquer her neighbors. That's it
Why? Russia isn’t the Soviet Union. What exactly have the Russians done that we need to spend trillions to kill them in their own backyard. Election meddling? Proved false. Not allowing transgender rights or basketball players to bring dope into the country? Those seem to be the reasons the left wants a proxy war to weaken Putin. I haven’t seen a good articulation of what our interest is in the Ukraine or Russia policy by the NeoCons other than we need an enemy to justify military spending increases.
