“I’m not hear to appease you or to accept your premise.
Your viewpoint is noxious and has no placement in the current debate.”

There is no debate.
The U.S.A. has always honored the commitments of our nation & accepted responsibility to defend our allies.

You probably realize some consider your appeasement and isolationist views noxious. Thus, there is a debate.

Putin presents a plan about hitting Ukraine with missiles from space

Dmitry Rogozin, former head of Roscosmos, Russia’s state space agency, suggested that Russian President Vladimir Putin hit Ukraine with a space missile. The idea came shortly after he was hit by shrapnel in his buttock last December.

Bild publication reported this, citing sources and recordings of Rogozin’s conversations with Director General of the Rocket Space Centre. [The media received recordings of Rogozin’s conversations with Dmitry Baranov, Director General of the Progress Rocket Space Centre.]

Judging by these records, they discussed the technical details of organizing an attack on a large city in Ukraine with the help of a launch vehicle used for flights into space since the beginning of January 2023. They concluded that it would be best to launch it from the Plesetsk Cosmodrome with explosives on board.

As Baranov believed, the main problem is that existing heavy high-explosive bombs or guided warheads would overheat due to supersonic entry into the atmosphere. Rogozin promised to consult the designer Yuriy Solomonov. Bild reports that he found a solution after a few days.

In addition, they discussed that parts of the missile could fall on the territory of Russia. They were also concerned that the error during the impact could be 50 to 100 km.
Rogozin asked Baranov how much time he would need to prepare. He answered that about six months.

The media reports that Rogozin called Putin “our great and terrible” and said he would pass the plan to him through Anton Vaino.

Bild says the plan was brought to Putin on 16 January. How he reacted to it is still unknown.

“Rogozin can be compared to a monkey with a grenade after he, allegedly, suggested hitting Ukraine with a space rocket”, said Andrii Yusov, representative of the Defense Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

“Previously, we talked about a monkey with a grenade, and now - about Rogozin with a rocket,” said Yusov.

"“Glory to Ukraine!”"

The complete phrase Youcrayniacs spout is "All Glory To Ukraine!"

All glory to one of the most corrupt nations in Europe, one rife with foreign biolabs, a military shot through with neo-Nazis, a hyper corrupt nation that's home to a huge "elite" money laundering operation, organ harvesting gangs, child trafficking networks and one which boasts as its leader a gay-dancing, piano-d*ck playing, running-around-naked-in-grocery stores little grifter and globalist puppet who presides over a massively corrupt government and who recently offered the vile satanist "artist" Marina Abramovic an ambassadorship.

Yeah, "All Glory" to that. Ugh.

Instead I say, "All Glory To Not Sending Another Penny Of US Money To Youcrayne."

Slavo Youcraney!

Great post! There is no seriously arguing the fact that Youcrayne is a sinkhole of corruption, utterly undeserving of getting hold of money earned by hard working Americans.

Your comment “Your viewpoint is noxious and has no placement in the current debate.”
https://freerepublic.com/focus/chat/4192329/posts?page=41#41

However, my viewpoint appears to be the debatable discussion focus of YOUR opposition.

Just to clarify, I do understand. I maintain that you have freedom of thought and the freedom of expression as do I.

No problem for me :).

IMO, the U.S. does believe in peace. Actually what is not the debatable issue for our nation is choosing policies of appeasement and isolationism when our allies are threatened.

I believe our nation honors alliances while accepting the responsibility to support &/or defend our allies of our nation.

Using the Kyiv Post "Corruption" topic, I found:

OPINION: Why One of Ukraine's Shadiest Political Operators Has Eluded Sanctions [article by Maryna Shashkova, August 27, 2023]

EXCERPTS:

Who is Andriy Portnov?

Portnov began his legal career in the 1990s in his home city of Luhansk, with the help, according to an investigation by Liga.net, of local authorities engaged in criminal activity.

Portnov was also getting acquainted with Kyiv's political elite and formed a close relationship with Viktor Medvedchuk, then a lawmaker, very rich powerbroker and close friend of Vladimir Putin, once dubbed the "dark prince" of Ukrainian politics.

[Portnov's] rising profile and reputation attracted further opportunities, and in 2005 he joined the team of Yulia Tymoshenko, the leader of the Yulia Tymoshenko Bloc party and the main competitor of the then-president Viktor Yushchenko.

Despite working for and alongside Tymoshenko, Portnov over the coming years moved increasingly closer to the man who would become her main rival in the 2010 presidential election and one of Ukraine's most controversial politicians in the years after - Viktor Yanukovych.

In 2014, Yanukovych would flee to Russia during the Revolution of Dignity in 2014, but in the years preceding his presidential election victory in 2010, he and Portnov gained a reputation for working together to pressure and exert influence on the country's judges.

After Yanukovych became president, Portnov "betrayed" Tymoshenko and joined the new president's team, taking charge of judicial reform.

Shortly after, the Ukraine's prosecutor general opened a number of criminal proceedings against Tymoshenko and she would be jailed in 2011.

In a tweet posted in June 2011, Tymoshenko accused Portnov of being part of a conspiracy to engineer her sentence.

The episode would set the tone for Portnov's time in charge of judicial reform - a massive overhaul of the entire system was undertaken and, according to reports, "not a single judge of the district court in the city of Kyiv was appointed without a personal interview and consent from Portnov."

This appointment of judges loyal to Portnov and the president would pay off, and a number of court cases would rule in his favor, including one in 2014 about his alleged involvement in the deaths of activists during the Euromaidan protests.

Fleeing Ukraine

Portnov's career as well as the public's attitude toward him took a dramatic turn during the Euromaidan protests, when he was instrumental in the drafting of the notorious "Dictatorship Laws" of Jan. 16, 2014, legislation enacted by then-President Yanukovych in an attempt to quell the protests against his rule. The laws were essentially identical to similar legislation enacted in Russia a little more than a year earlier.

The new laws provoked the generally peaceful protesters to turn violent, and the legislation was largely cancelled within a fortnight. But by that point Yanukovych had lost all credibility, and within a month he tried to crush the protests, leading to more than 100 civilians shot dead by security forces.

Both Yanukovych and Portnov fled to Russia.

And remember Rocco, our Youcrayniacs claim to be guided by the Spirt of God and infused with Ronald Reagan’s conservative principles. I’m forever grateful that I’ve been given an independent spirit, one that allows me to see through people like this.
