An explosion has reportedly sunk a Russian fishing vessel, killing one person on board and leaving two missing.

Well, they hit the target, at least.

Reading the story, I assumed it was like the “Russian fishing boats” (with lots of antennas and a net just hanging there) we flew over in Guam.

Please try to explain to me the successes of the "Great Spring Summer Fall Winter Offensive" because the front keeps moving west all over the front lines.

You won't because you cannot. Lol.

Russia had a bunch of “fishing boats” with antennas poking out everywhere back in the day.

Meanwhile thousands of terrorists and barbarians surge through the US border daily and zeepers remain silent.

The fishing trawler sunk while tied up at its dock. If there was an explosion it’s probably because the engines were started without first airing out the engine compartment.

A common rookie mistake among boaters.

There are all sorts of sources and all of them with a bunch of spin. The only “fact” here is that the ship sunk while tied up at dock as you can see in some of the images here:

Genuine conservatives have no problem multitasking on important issues whether it be the border crisis or Russian revanchism. Nutbag populists not so much. They’re easily duped by gaslight and lead by the nose.

Yes, it is true that genuine Conservatives are capable of multitasking.

The problem is the MONEY. Our country is over $35 TRILLION in debt, debt which increases by $1 TRILLION every 100 days.

The money we spend is BORROWED.

We have no money to spare on funding the Biden/Zelensky Money Laundering Operation.

Write Zelensky a personal check and send it to him if you’re that concerned.

Thank you for your “thoughtful” insight.

Question: Is President Trump what you refer to as a “nutbag populist who is easily duped by gaslight and lead by the nose”?
