As US banks collapse, not a penny for East Palestine. Not a cent for a border wall. No visits by McCarthy, McConnell, of that fat skank Ronna McDaniel. And yet the idiots claiming to love America wave the Ukranian rag and bow to President Grease Spot.

The economic war against Russia failed.
The information war against Russia in the non-West failed.
The proxy war against Russia in Ukraine failed.
And the counteroffensive against Russia will fail.

I get tired of repeating myself.

The nation is falling apart and these bums are tripping over their feet to feed a thief. I wouldn’t waste my time voting for any of them.

Why does the Ukraine war remind me of the global US Karen yelling at a former abusive husband of her girlfriend over their old divorce property settlement while her girlfriend multitasks fighting with her husband and rummaging through Karen’s closet to rebuild a new wardrobe?

It’s sheer insanity with the goal of destabilizing the US enough to catapult the country into the nwo.

No, thank you, but very much for caring.

This is a European war the involves Europeans in Europe.

Does everyone recall the definition of "mission creep"?

This Vietnam Vet does.

What if we pulled back, just a bit, to see if our European buddies enthusiastically did their share (and more)?

The logistical intel on these shipments would be quite valuable to the right people.

Just sayin’.

Skank is a fine word. It should be used more often. It fits McDaniel well.
