This idiotic Russian-favoring position was obviously put into 47’s head by best bro pitin during their long and loving phone call. 47 just cannot get enough of pitin’s gourmet borscht; its what’s for dinner every night at the WH.

I almost never post links to war vids (check my history), but, this one is VERY telling. The Ukies hit a petro depot in Crimea last night, and (0:37)...

1) The thermal imagery allows the Ukies to hit the only tank with fuel(?) in it.

AND...

2) Only one tank has significant contents in it.

There is some merit and evaluating Trump’s perspective, which change is frequently either purposefully or again, just his nature.

It started out the year with “it’s not our war”. Has there really been a change in this? It also started out with America first and there’s no evidence at all that there’s been a change in that, in fact yesterday’s commentary about tomahawk aligns perfectly with that. America First. If any are going to get built they’re going to be kept.

The EU is going to burn up the phone lines, many of them to Trump, pushing and nudging and pleading and lying about how much they’re going to buy from the US. Trump is pretty smart cookie and he knows this is going on.

We probably need to be careful to recognize that the media is constructing a narrative of a shallow narcissistic personality, and consistent with his trolling nature, he’ll say things now and then to support that. Because he doesn’t care what the media thinks. If the election were reheld today he would win it by probably even more. That’s the real problem that the media has. The populace is ignoring them.

And so we get to the point where all that matters is what’s on the battlefield.

Ukraine is not behaving as if they are winning. It’s really hard to contort one’s thoughts to find a rationale behind the thought that your president flies to Washington to be humiliated with no welcoming party on the ground and being outright told no to his requests and he chooses to do that because he’s winning.

Russia is not behaving as if they are losing. The imagination that huge percentages of their population are dying on the battlefield or fleeing on trains certainly appears to be nothing more than imagination. Putin does not behave as if he is stupid. Listen to his speeches. Listen to them with no filter in front of them of the media. Get the raw Russian version and translate it.

I’ll certainly US politicians who are stupid have speech writers make them sound better, but there are many videos of Putin doing q&a. Do not get the MSM versions of this. Get the raw video and there are translation capabilities for that video. There are Reddit subreddits for Russians and you can get translations there.

Overall just stop believing the media.

Looks like Little Zelya doesn’t get “his” TomatoHawks because of the risk of depletion of US weapons inventories. 😉😂😂

Amen.

We're seeing in real time posters adding their "opinion" after being marinated in Gaslight Media lies.

After this is over, we'll be able to dissect the Ukrainian propaganda campaign on Free Republic, complete with AI propaganda.

A lot of people just want to believe the "Ukrainian rebel Alliance versus the Russian Empire" storyline nonsense. Too much Star Wars.

We all love Star Wars - but this ain't it.
