” Ukraine, which is knee-deep is US political corruption and money laundering.”
There is no evidence of that at all. Its often repeated around here, but its based on nothing. Ukraine has a well founded reputation for domestic corruption, but not for international money laundering or seeking to corrupt US officials.
Biden took bribes from a corrupt multinational private company to pressure the Ukrainian government, through Biden’s threat to impede an IMF loan. Thats it. Ukraine, the nation, was a victim of Joe Biden. And there is quite complete evidence in the Biden case. He even boasted about it. Biden was a predator.
But what is there for anything else? Zero.
On the other hand there’s a very great deal of “smoke”, circumstantial information, concerning Russian bribery of Hilary Clinton, say, or Chinese bribery of several other Democrats.

Oleksii Danilov, Secretary of the National Security and Defence Council of Ukraine, denies that the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant or other nuclear power plants in Russia could become the target of Ukrainian forces.
SOURCE Oleksii Danilov on the air of Ukrainian Radio
QUOTE:
“Ukraine has no intentions to interfere in the work of objects that are mentioned in social networks, including the Kursk NPP. We attack those objects that are directly related to military affairs, and here we do not have to ask permission from anyone. We do it with our weapons, which are getting better and better every day.”
DETAILS:
In this way, the NSDC Secretary commented on misinformation about Ukraine’s alleged plans to blow up the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant, which has no connection to Russia’s war effort.
The NSDC Secretary noted that it is “Putin who, at the beginning of his career, blew up houses with living people in their homes, so you can expect anything from them (the Russians – ed.).”
Danilov stressed that “a huge amount of information which is being distributed, including that by the Russian Federation, has NO SOURCE,” and this is “a big problem not only for our country, but for the whole world.”
“If you do not understand who is behind this or that message, do not pay attention to it. The manipulations that the Russian Federation resorts to, throwing in certain things [into public space – ed.], affect consciousness, and this is very dangerous,” Danilov added.
EARLIER:
On 15 August, the National Resistance Center, citing data from the underground sources in Kursk Oblast, reported that the Russians were training to evacuate civilians in case an accident occurred at the Kursk Nuclear Power Plant.
On 14 July, the government of Kursk Oblast of Russia reported the crash and detonation of a drone near a nuclear power plant; three drones are also reported to have been downed on the outskirts of the city of Voronezh.
Earlier, Ukrainian officials were concerned by the plans of the Russian forces to blow up the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant.
“Do you know the real reasons why the Nazis came to power?”
As an immediate cause, the Great Depression. The same thing that destabilized many other countries. Japan for instance.
And I see at least one deleted post. I hope there’s no censorship going on.
Nope, wrong
I am never wrong.
Years ago I bought a t-shirt, that spells it out plainly -
“I’m an Engineer
To save time, let’s just assume I am never wrong. “
Consider -
In the 1928 Federal elections the NSDAP got under 3% of the vote.
In the 1930 elections they got over 18% of the vote.
What happened between 1928 and 1930?

France on Russia’s attack on Chernihiv: It shows Russian cowardice and cynicism

The French Foreign Ministry has condemned the Russian missile strike on the centre of Chernihiv, which killed seven people and injured almost 130. The ministry says that the international law considers deliberate shelling of civilian targets a war crime.
SOURCE:
statement of the French Foreign Ministry, reports European Pravda
QUOTE:
“This is another illustration of Russia’s cowardice and cynicism. France will continue to support Ukraine as long as necessary and will continue to support Ukrainian and international courts so that these crimes do not go unpunished.”
#Ukraine | La France condamne avec la plus grande fermeté les frappes russes à Tchernihiv, ayant ciblé notamment une université et un théâtre, qui ont causé au moins six morts et 37 blessés, dont 11 enfants.

The French Foreign Ministry also promised that it would continue to condemn Russia’s actions and the continuation of its aggressive war against Ukraine.
BACKGROUND:
-On the morning of 19 August, Russian troops hit the centre of Chernihiv with a ballistic missile.
-Russian forces launched a missile attack on the Chernihiv Music and Drama Theatre when a gathering of drone manufacturers and aerial reconnaissance training schools was held there as part of the Liuti Ptashky (Angry Birds) demo day, although only the event’s participants knew the exact location.
-The latest reports say 136 people were injured in the strike, and seven lost their lives. In Chernihiv, mourning was declared from 19 to 21 August.
So, the fact that the family members of Biden, Pelosi, Kerry, and Romney have financial ties to Ukraine doesn’t bother you? Explains a lot of the nonsense here on FR.
Explain these “financial ties” on the part of Pelosi, Kerry and Romney - that are not entangled in other “financial ties”.
We already know all about Biden. He acted the thug vs Ukraine for the sake of a private “client”.
Where is your little scoreboard today?
We know why you don’t post Ukraine losses. They’re terrible. From the NYT: “Russia’s military casualties are approaching 300,000, including as many as 120,000 deaths and 170,000 to 180,000 injuries, the newspaper reported. Ukrainian deaths were close to 70,000, with 100,000 to 120,000 wounded, it added.”
The ‘PUTIN-Biden-Clinton-Obama’ cartel did used Ukraine as a FRONT to stage their money-laundering by using Russian agents embedded BY PUTIN in the Ukraine government: Ukrainian deep-state!
President Zelensky is still trying to remove Ukraine CORRUPT “deep state created by Putin!”
You should find a different way to insult the thread poster rather than mocking God, prayer, and all the Christians here.

I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the five hundred forty second day of the war.
Day 542: Aug 19
Today there are a lot of updates.
First of all, today in the morning, Ukrainians struck one of the most important Russian airfields that is used by strategic bombers Tu-22m3. The airfield is located in the Novgorod region, which is almost 700 km from the Ukrainian territories, and, according to Russian sources, it was targeted by Ukrainian drones.
Judging by the footage, at least one drone managed to hit the target and cause a fire. Some sources claimed that Ukrainians managed to destroy up to 2 Russian strategic bombers. Russian analysts once again criticized the fact that Russian forces do not even try increase the security of their airfields.
On top of that, in was reported that a Ukrainian flag was raised in Novgorod, right in front of the Russian secret services building. Even though such an operation did not inflict Russians any losses, it amplified the news about the successful Ukrainian drone strike near this city and also diminished public trust in the ability of the Russian Federal Security Service to provide security.
Today Ukrainians also reportedly conducted a missile strike on Crimea. Russian sources reported that Ukrainians used one modified ballistic missile S-200. Russian media published footage of the crater left by the intercepted missile. In previous strikes, Ukrainians used several missiles at once and usually combined it with a drone strike. The fact that this time Ukrainians used just one lonely missile indicates that they are testing the Russian air defense in the new region in preparation for hitting new areas on the peninsula.
Yesterday a huge fire broke out in one of the Russian Black Sea harbors in Novorossiysk. Russian sources reported that the fire rapidly spread and reached a square area of 1300 square meters. Some sources claimed that due to an unspecified accident, wooden pallets caught on fire and burned everything around them.
There was reportedly no drone strike at the time, which gave rise to speculations about sabotage. And this is not surprising. Given the most recent developments, it seems like a huge network of saboteurs works in coordination to undermine Russian war efforts by damaging critical infrastructure such as airfields, harbors, railroads, bridges, and factories.
In fact, the same day, Ukrainians struck another Russian harbor, this time in Berdyansk, which is used for shipping a lot of equipment to the southern front.
Several days ago, Ukrainians also struck a science and engineering center “TEMP”, which is developing crucial technology for manufacturing weapons. The goal of this center is to reduce the reliance of Russia on imported technology and make the military-industrial complex as independent as possible. Local residents reported hearing explosions, although even Russian analysts are still uncertain and claim that it was either a drone strike or sabotage from inside.
Unfortunately, Russians conducted a similar strike. Today Russians conducted a missile strike on Chernihiv, more precisely, they hit a theater with an Iskander missile. As it turned out, Ukrainians were making a drone show where different developers had to demonstrate developed drone technologies and possibly get attention from the defense ministry. As a result, there are more than 100 casualties, including at least 12 children.
Despite the fact that it was an open event, Russian sources claimed that it was a closed meeting and that Russians killed up to 60 Ukrainian and NATO officers. Regardless, the bottom line is it was not a smart idea to make such an event a public show, especially in the city that is located just 40 km from the border, as the air defense has little to no time to detect and intercept the missile.
Ukrainian fighters and commanders viciously critiqued the responsible person, who reportedly made this event public to generate publicity and promote her political career in the defense ministry. The event definitely gathered attention, so seems like now her career is over.
In the meantime, 200 Ukrainian troops just finished the 12-week training program on Abrams tanks in the United States. Since the tanks are not ready yet, the soldiers will continue staying and training and soon return to Ukraine with 31 Abrams tanks.
Simultaneously, more Ukrainian troops are training on Leopard tanks in Germany. As of now, Ukraine is waiting to receive 100 Leopards.
