Seeing Ukrainian dictator Volodymyr Zelenskyy at Senator Lindsey Graham’s funeral seemed fitting: Z-Man’s money-laundering operation in Kyiv was the proximate cause of Graham’s death. Had the senator not been working so hard to add to the butcher’s bill in Europe, he would still be alive today. Surely there is a lesson here for some people to see.
I know there are plenty of pro-Ukraine cheerleaders who just cannot stomach any criticism of an ongoing military conflict that has now lasted longer than WWII. However, I have never seen this as anything other than a civil war that British, European, and American globalists have exploited for monetary and geopolitical reasons that have nothing to do with the sovereignty of Ukraine.
Ukraine is not a member of the European Union. It is not a member of NATO. If Ukraine’s diminutive dictator wishes to turn what’s left of his country into a parking lot, so be it. Let the weight of this folly fall on the head of a comedian who has led his country to slaughter and will leave it a rump of its former self. When the war finally ends, the multinational investment firms will recycle the carnage into reconstruction profits. Ukraine will be stripped and sold for parts. Its people will live in other countries. Foreigners from Asia, Africa, and the Middle East will be dumped into Ukraine by the millions to make up for the rump state’s depleted workforce. Ukraine will never look the same. And future historians will wonder why a comedian was allowed to destroy an entire nation.
It’s not as if the Ukrainian people have had a choice in this matter. Elections have been canceled. Public dissent is outlawed. Opposition political parties are outlawed.

If Russia and North Korea went nuclear it could hurt the American troops that President Trump has in Ukraine and being trained by the Ukrainians, not to mention undo all the support we have given to keep them free.
An Islamic NATO is not in the interests of the US.
The article is well said.
The Russian Donbass voted for Independence from Ukraine many times....thus it is nothing more than a civil war which began in 2014 with Maidan and the Ukie slaughter of Russians at the Odessa Trade Union massacre.
As the West and NATO was dragged in by this Zelensky crook, they should remember what they themselves did to Yugoslavia- carve them up into ethnic states.
Poland, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia, Russia , etc should all get their historic lands back. Problem solved.
Right, nuclear war is the only option. Okay
Not what I'm saying at all. And you are correct about how it started. But where is it today?
The powers of western Europe ARE the pro war side. You really think they care about "justice"?
LOL, the ONLY vote for "independence" occurred under the watchful eyes of the Russian military occupation forces and was only recognized by Syria and North Korea.
A campaign of intimidation, beatings, and hostage taking has forced many pro-Ukrainian activists and known opponents of secession to Russia to flee the region, leaving the referendum to take place without any dissent or opposing voices. At least 24 people were being held by insurgents in Donetsk region at the time of the referendum, according to Human Rights Watch.
I agree.
So Sweden is a loss for NATO.
I suppose that what you call a “hawk”, I call a Deep State, Globalist operative.
Hillary Clinton didn’t run the State Department, and NATO outreach, in order to bake cookies.
Nuclear war is not the only option but it is an increasingly realistic option for Russia which is one reason why President Trump has distanced the US from the conflict
Micro yield battlefield tactical nuclear weapons development combined with a highly upgraded nuclear strategic missile capability to provide cover for battlefield tactical weapons use is central to Russian military doctrine.
At the same time, US missile defense systems are depleted and current reserves are allocated for future Chinese aggression so Russia has a lot of leverage here
No way is Trump going to go to war with Russia over Ukraine even if they deploy low yield tactical nukes
So gun stores that sell me a gun which I later use to defend myself in a home invasion, are pro-violence? Attacking self-defense by a person or a country, and those that help, is ridiculous.
LOL, that sounds like a liberal explaining why the black man raped the white woman.
Russia and Nazi Germany were allies dividing up Europe until the two evil murdering invaders turned on each other, and before that Russia had murdered 10s of millions of its people largely by the organization that Lt. Colonel Putin devoted his life to before his evil empire collapsed and those nations gained their freedom and he took the reigns of running Russia for the rest of his life and started the process of reconquering them.
The Russian and North Korean troops are not the good guys, they are the brutes.
No. Stronger treaty can made be made with individual countrys. I realize that would require the Senate doing work, but we live in the age of instant communication.
If you like Nato, pease to tell me how your life is enhanced by being hogtied to Euros and Erdogan?
That's ridiculous. No one is asking the US to go to war against Russia. Ukraine is asking for lifting restrictions on technology and for weapons.
If Russia uses nukes in Ukraine, it will become a pariah to the world including India and China.
Media learned that Zelenskyy asked Trump for permission to use Starlink to destroy ballistic launchers in Russia

Man that is ridiculous, it is scary that those defending against a Russian/North Korean/Red China/Iran/Chechnya invasion in Europe can be called the “pro war side”.
It is an invasion, stop doing it.
EU is our largest trading partner.
EU-US trade in goods and services reaches an impressive €1.7 trillion.

Funny thing is we never got an audit of where the money went. These things always seem to get derailed somehow.
No, NATO is NOT in the interest of the USA. (Most of the leaders in NATO want the USA to collapse)
But Globalists of all flavors will destroy and then be paid for people to go deeply in debt to recover that money scheme.
And how would individual treaties vs. NATO enslavement change that? Was NATO formed as a trade organization?
The FIRST thing the Z-man did was closes the borders so men of military age were NOT allowed to leave. I don't think there's a dime's worth of difference for the Ukrainian people living under a dictator like the Z man or a dictator like Putin.
This was about European and American 'elites' having a place to employ (graft) their worthless sons and to launder their money. It's a hellhole not worth a drop of American blood. NOT OUR PROBLEM. If you have to outlaw men from leaving the country and your nonboring countries don't give a damn don't call on Americans to bail you out. Maybe democrats could chip in since it was their friends and families that got the payoffs .
Putin wants his historical legacy to be the one who restored the Imperial borders. Or as close as he can come to it!
