“All correct, but senile & corrupt Biden wants $60,000,000,000 sent to Ukraine, money which US Treasury does not have, and will be added to the national debt. This is insanity, pure and simple.”
Wait until we get stuck with the rebuilding costs. Penny Pritzker and the Clinton Foundation are circling like vultures. You ain’t seen nothing yet.
An apt observation. But monetized videos are promoted, so money is "moving."

Update from not-Ukraine | AzerbaijanAs to actual journalists during the Ukraine-Russia war, one reads:
Update from not-Ukraine | Poland
Update from not-Ukraine | Switzerland
"New rules now govern the work of war reporters in these territories. They may only report freely in 'green zones.' 'Red zones' are off limits to journalists. In 'yellow zones' they are allowed to carry out their work when accompanied by an army press officer. The exact situation in these zones is classified as 'protected information' and only disclosed on a need-to-know basis. Furthermore, Ukraine wants to review all of the media accreditations it has issued over the past year. ...The NGO Reporters Without Borders (RSF) was also critical. "We find the rules exaggerated," explained RSF Germany's executive director, Christian Mihr. "They make it practically impossible to report from the front." RSF is demanding the Ukrainian government ensure journalists can continue to report on Russia's war against Ukraine firsthand."Thus one sees how important controlling journalism is within Ukraine, as various "Update from not-Ukraine" YouTube channels purport to inform in granular detail that which they actually cannot know with certainty from real journalists as above.Ukraine tightens rules on frontline reporting Deutsche Welle, 21 April 2023
"Sergiy Tomilenko, president of the National Union of Journalists of Ukraine, told VOA that 'the new rules of military accreditation should not completely stop coverage of this war.' He added that areas should be considered red zones only if reporting is impossible there because of the conflict. Oksana Romaniuk, the head of the Institute of Mass Information, a local press freedom group, said the restrictions appeared to be about safety, but she said she thought they were more about control. 'We do not think that it is connected with the desire to make the work of journalists safer. It is, rather, connected with the desire to make everything work like the army,' she told VOA from Kyiv."
New Rules Limit Media's Ability to Cover Ukraine War Voice of America News, 31 March 2023
"While some of the restrictions have been easy to adapt, the state has a monopoly on significant information because of the war – such as the total number of casualties, which is now classified information. Ukraine's top general said the total was 13,000 in late November but graveyards across Ukraine, and the number of social media posts paying tribute to the dead soldiers, indicate the number is much higher. 'I think we will publish it when we know it, but again it will be discussed among ourselves first,' said Romaniuk. Meanwhile, there has only been one investigation alleging wrongdoing inside Ukraine's military (as opposed to investigations about government offices). In August, Anna Myroniuk, an investigative journalist at the Kyiv Independent, published an investigation into systematic abuse and misappropriation within Ukraine's International Legion, a unit for foreign nationals. The Kyiv Independent ran an editorial explaining their decision to publish the information."
Ukraine's reporters adapt amid media restrictions and pressure of war Guardian UK, 5 March 2023
"Media rights groups have called the new regulation an illegal attempt to silence journalists. Army spokesman Oleksiy Dmytrashkivsky told the Kyiv Post that the new rules apply to all journalists working on the Ukrainian side of the conflict. For those traveling to separatists-controlled areas, military escort will be provided up to the final Ukrainian checkpoint, he added. 'I received an order to guide journalists and to stop them from traveling alone,' Dmytrashkivsky said."

The narrative is the thing. Ignoring the reality for the US is the thing, as was observed: "...senile & corrupt Biden wants $60,000,000,000 sent to Ukraine, money which US Treasury does not have, and will be added to the national debt. This is insanity, pure and simple" as the corrupt Pritzkers and Clintons "hover."
The real narrative for this United States? Rapidly rising debt....
Debt ClockNow well over $33 1/2 trillion, and over $250K per taxpayer and future taxpayer, with no sign of the debt diminishing. That's THE narrative.
no, not odd
what is odd is how incompetent putin/russia are
at least 300,000 dead russians so far in pooty’s war.
when will the russian people have had enough losses?
The CIA and their Ukraine proxy win the war every day, yet the war is never over.
All gazzlight, all the time.
Spoiled cabbage and borscht?
if I may ask - why were you favoring Russia?
Was it due to
1. a reaction to the MSM supporting Ukraine
2. a hang-over of sympathy for Putin supporting Christians in Syria?
3. a sense of sticking it to the EU?
4. Tucker’s reporting?
5. a sense of Ukraine getting payback for its actions during Trumps first term?
I just began to see Russia for what it is. A marauder country run by opportunistic bandits that hang out with countries I loathe.
And it’s such a pity - imagine a world where Russia allied with the USA and with European countries?
Instead Putin has made Russia ally with Russia’s foes:
- with Shia Iran —> Russia fought multiple wars with them over the centuries, grabbing land from them
- with China —> Russia grabbed land from China in the 19th and 20th century
- with Turkey —> Russia has grabbed land from Turkey and it’s predecessor states for centuries.
Heaven.
