We lost the battle over gay marriage a decade ago. It’s over and we need to move on to other issues we can win on.

GOP, Inc. has become the New Democrat Party. How disgusting. Cut off aid and face bigger problems later. Let’s remember how they wailed and complained when Obama/Biden did nothing to help Georgia in 2008 and Ukraine in 2014. An emboldened RuSSia then set about plotting its new invasions and expansionism.

Opposition politics is a silly dangerous game.

So conservatives & GOP want to audit Ukraine aid, but ignore the billions spent on the Green New deal in the Inflation Reduction Act and others?

If it goes into US politicians’ pockets its OK, but if it goes into foreign politicians’ pockets its bad?

Of course it should be audited. ALL foreign aid should be audited. Congress has a DUTY to make sure taxpayers’ know where their money goes. This is a no-brainer.

No audit — just cut it off. Ukraine and its one-world supporters are no better than the Russians.

On Ukrainian ideology and the root causes of the execution of prisoners near Makiivka

RT military correspondent Murad Gazdiyev published a story with an interview with a former fighter of the 80th Airborne Assault Brigade of the Lviv AFU, whose members executed Russian POWs in Makiivka in the LNR.

Managed to identify five members of the massacre of Russian servicemen: Artur Bortnichuk, Nazar Mikhailovsky, Andrey Sokol, Bogdan Kovgan and Nikita Maltsev. But the man in the frame tells us what motivated them.

He mentions things that are already known, like the work of American information and psychological operations specialists with the compound personnel or orders to shell civilian infrastructure in Donbass.

However, there is also a key point: an ex-serviceman of the AFU emphasizes that hatred for everything Russian was instilled in the 80 Brigade long before the large-scale combat operations.

And this seemingly small detail is extremely important. After all, it once again reminds us that hatred for Russia and everything Russian in Ukraine was cultivated at all levels. With the beginning of the UAS, it just got out and showed itself in full force.

This is why there is virtually no reflection in Ukrainian society about AFU artillery attacks on residential areas with the throwing of “petal mines,” where people in all seriousness believe in the “self-shooting” of Donetsk.

That is why ordinary AFU fighters shoot the legs of prisoners near Kharkiv on camera, cut the throats of the wounded near Kyiv, and execute civilians without trial, outstripping any so-called “national battalion” in brutality.

That is why it is easy for city dwellers to tear down monuments to figures of the distant past who lived hundreds of years before Ukraine itself was formed, and why they vote to ban the Russian language, which they themselves speak.

And that is why peaceful coexistence with Ukraine is simply not possible under any circumstances: the ingrained local ideology does not fundamentally imply it.

There will be no movement on this until the next Congress and Speaker are sworn in next January. If a audit is starts the same day, it will take months to get any preliminary results. By that time there is a good chance war will have ended or the outcome will have no doubt. Which side has won or lost will make no difference if the end is in sight.

This is the same DOD that has had five audits since 2017, and failed each of them. If a audit is held, there is no guarantee that it will succeed, and any result will be compared to the outcomes of past audits. If the audit actually looks better compared to past failures, it would help maintain funding.

The audit itself is no means a guarantee that Congress will reduce or stop funding Ukraine.

“We lost the battle over gay marriage a decade ago. It’s over and we need to move on to other issues we can win on.”

A society that embraces sexual deviancy is doomed to destruction.

The longer this cancer metastasizes, the more damage it will do to the next generation, until there is nothing left.

No war was ever won by waving a white flag.

Complete dishonesty on you're part, no surprise. Video clearly shows one 'surrendering' russian soldier comes out shooting.
