I’d like to thank Congress for using my Tax money to buy Zelensky’s wife a Bugatti.

Ukraine ping

mmm: [How do you pro-Zelenskyy supporters feel about this?]


Your Jew-hating is tedious in the extreme, but I’ll bite. In WW2, the US funded a Russia committed to the overthrow of all governments not already subservient to Russia, through the auspices of Comintern. This Russia colluded with Germany to start WW2. It fought Germany only after German armies invaded Russia.

Note that Russia was fighting on its own soil for 3 out of the war’s 4 years despite annual US aid to Russia amounting to ~6% of the US’s 1941 GDP. At the beginning of the war, Russia lost to the Germans territory amounting to ~2x the area of all of Ukraine. If Ukraine had lost to Russia what Russia lost to the Germans, it would already have been overrun. What’s impressive is how little US aid was required for Ukraine to hold the Russians back - 0.2% of US GDP, or 1/30 of WW2 American aid to Russia.

While the claim is dubious, if Zelensky is in fact getting a Bugatti, we should buy him a new model every year. He’s been working wonders on a shoestring budget. That Ukraine is warding off Russia with the same annual budget used to fight a bunch of part-time guerrillas in Afghanistan is near miraculous.

A world that expected a Russian victory in 3 days has instead been given yet another demonstration of Ukrainian courage and resourcefulness. These characteristics were always latent, but this is the first time disinterested foreign assistance has been made available in more than nominal quantities. While 1/30 WW2 US aid to Russia, Ukrainians are certainly doing much better with the limited help provided than anyone thought possible.

It's a very high end car for people who find Ferrari and Lamborghini dull and uninspiring.

I once watched a documentary on their production. The leather for the interior comes from a special herd of cattle that's raised in high alpine pastures at altitudes where the skin won't be blemished by mosquito bites, and of course, no barbed wire. I'm not joking.

This is a wonderful narrative.

It would take a book to refute it—but it is very misleading at a minimum.

A lot of Leftist rags have been “debunking” that Zelensky owns a $20 million S Florida estate, so probability is that it is true.

I’d argue the Russians do much better narratives. Their Tsarist-era Protocols of the Elders of Zion got Henry Ford to buy a newspaper to give Jew hatred the airing he thought it deserved, and inspired the Germans to attempt to rid the world of Jews,

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dearborn_Independent

Whatever anyone might say about Russian propaganda, it gets results. And then there’s Russia’s Comintern phase, when its attempt at global conquest found a new vehicle. Without the Russian talent for homicidal lies couched in egalitarian language, would Marxism-Leninism have taken root in so many places?

I have zero interest in making the world safe for perverts.

How do you Russia supporters feel about constantly posting second hand sources for stories like this?

Who are the French Journalists? What did they actually report? Where did they report it? What is their track record?

Why is it so many pro-Russian, anti-Ukraine freepers refuse to check their sources, or treat second or third hand sources as first hand news?

As far as I can tell, this is the source: Olena Zelenska est devenue la première propriétaire de la toute nouvelle Bugatti Turbillon.

A whois search of veritecachee.fr/ finds this:

And to my eye, that video looks close to AI modeling.

I wonder why everyone copying and pasting the same tweet, is not posting the source.

I wouldn’t trust the BBC. The BBC is the far left propaganda outlet who employs the violently mentally disturbed David Aaronovitch, who threatened President Trump.

I’m not trying to be nasty; I’m just saying that the BBC is as dangerous as The Guardian.

The British Government aren’t our friends.

It was a ridiculous story on its surface as all of these always are, and it was widely debunked.

We go through these fake stories over, and over, and over, they come from nowhere on the internet, get used and milked by the propagandists for as long as they can, days, or a week or two if they can keep it rolling that long, and then it fades away, except for the super gullible who might never learn they were fake and bring them up months later shocking everyone with how undiscerning and unread they are.

Not only are they cheerleaders for the scam, they're cheerleaders for the democrats.

If fact they sleep in bed with them.
