“The ONLY way to defend against our insane Neocons is to pull together as a united front with Russia, China, North Korea, and others against the West.”

Something tells me it’s not just Ukrainian workers there.


Martin Armstrong perhaps?

Look, Ukraine's wars are not America's wars.
This technique of sucking America into Europe's wars at costs of hundreds of billions of dollars to US tax payers, is as old as WW ! over a 100 ears ago.
The Europeans just never stop trying to do that.
It worked fine with the half dead Biden.
Not going to work with Trump.

So Flex Ltd is now a “neocon” company??? And Flex and Ukraine “knew” their company was going to be a location of a Russian missile attack??

The idiocy of the idea only shows to what extremes idiots will take the “neocon” slander of everything.

Interesting. The Kyiv report stresses "American," but simple looking about shows ....

"Flex Ltd.[2] (previously known as Flextronics International Ltd. or Flextronics) is an Singaporean–American multinational manufacturing company. It is the third[3] largest global electronics manufacturing services (EMS), original design manufacturer (ODM) company by revenue, behind only Pegatron for what concerns original equipment manufacturers. Flex's U.S. corporate headquarters are located in Austin, Texas.[4] The company has manufacturing operations in over 30 countries, totaling about 172,000 employees."

----- Singapore (legal domicile and headquarters)

WIKI on Flex Ltd.

Blackrock increased its Flex Ltd. Ordinary Shares holdings by 33.793% last June, State Street increased its holdings by 38.029% then, and a few other hedge funds did as well.

Interesting point from the site -- "Institutional Ownership 101.82%"

Flex Ltd. Ordinary Shares (FLEX) Institutional Holdings

--- So, EMPHASIZE "American" because this is in part "messaging."

“He and his European allies have been trying to do so since the war began. Trump’s promise to give the Z man Article-5-like protection will drag us further into the war.”

*************

One short step away from getting us into something that would likely escalate into direct confrontation with Russia. Not good for us, and not good for the world. But that’s what a lot of neocons want.

Trump is gonna hammer down some NASTY economic tariffs and sanctions

I sure hope so. That India buys Russian oil and not US or Saudi oil is unacceptable. Indian immigrants in the US send big money back to India. We have a lot of positive and negative actions we could take on India.

Other countries also. But India is the biggee.

Speaking of India.... just how many businesses here in the US are owned by Indians and how many were subsidized by our taxes?

I suspect “businesses” are different from “individuals”.

Indian immgrants send big money back to India, just as Mexican immigrants send big money back to Mexico. These are big sources of wealth for the sending countries.

I suspect the reverse is true for “companies”. A Mexican company invests in Cement Ready Mix trucks in the US and is a net investor in the US. The same with India. They invest in the US.

The free market is the ideal and would be the goal. But when one country acts to limit the free market, how can the other country react without also limiting the free market. Mutual assured destruction is the result.

Well, duh! There is a war going on and Ukraine is dragging its feet, refusing to accept the deal Trump worked out with Putin.

Trump indicated that the United States might contribute air support and intelligence, but ruled out sending combat troops to Ukraine. He described European nations as the “first line of defense,” with the U.S. playing a supporting role. While Trump called for a united front with European allies, the specifics of how these security guarantees would be implemented remain unclear. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky welcomed the proposal as “historic” but stressed that any guarantee must be practical and effective in defending Ukraine across land, air, and sea.

I believe Trump would use air support or other means to make sure Ukraine/NATO doesn’t false flag us into WWIII.
