Good one! these people are so corrupt.

...........

Rep.Michael Mccaul,r/Texas really up on what is going on! Now on with Maria telling her 151 countries are now in with China's belt and road.

Poor countries that can't pay the debt lose asset after asset from rare earth minerals to fisheries,china scores on a worldwide basis.rich countries now drift to china and communism while biden wonders where he is.

We are losing ground so fast worldwide it's scary.

We need trump back so bad.

maria now saying that 125 terrorists were caught trying to cross the open border. One has to wonder how many actually did get across? No telling.

Now McCaul refers to spy station only 100 miles from me in Cuba. No telling what goes on there.

Let's hope gitmo has some intel on what happens there.

Here is a cobalt pit mine in Congo that little children as young as 3 years old are forced to dig in.

Cobalt is a rare earth needed for electric cars, electric wind mills and solar panels.

The global warming cultists absolutely fuel this child abuse.

Yet McCaul continues to be a hawk on Ukraine. The spin on the impact of the Wagner Group uprising and sudden retreat is on overdrive. The happy talk on the success of the Ukrainian counteroffensive still obtains while support for the war is declining throughout Europe and in the US.

The Dems and RINOs are pushing for a $100 billion Ukraine supplement.

NATO Has Switched to War Footing With Russia

Vladimir Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine has spurred NATO members to plan in detail what has been unthinkable since the end of the Cold War—a direct conflict with Russia.

However, ahead of the bloc's summit in Vilnius, Lithuania, starting on July 11 when countering Russia will be top of the agenda, Sir Richard Shirreff, the former Deputy Supreme Allied Commander Europe, said NATO was not ready for a war with Moscow.

"It needs a real kick up the backside," he told Newsweek, as he took aim at dwindling military budgets across alliance members, although there are exceptions, such as Poland.

"There is a massive war going on in Eastern Europe. It's a land war and it's an air war, and so you need to invest in air and land, and that hasn't been done," Shirreff said. "Last year at its Madrid summit, (Alliance Secretary General) Jens Stoltenberg announced that NATO would ramp up its very high readiness forces to 300,000—that simply hasn't happened."

The former British general said that the U.K. Army was an example of such cuts across the bloc being run down to a "ludicrous size" as he believed that the defense establishment had believed that China, not Russia, was the major long-term threat.

"Geography matters here and Russia is the wolf nearest the sledge," said Shirreff, the managing partner at the consultancy Strategia Worldwide. He believed there has been a "failure of deterrence" by the alliance, which missed an opportunity to build up capability after Putin seized Crimea in 2014.

"Am I confident that NATO will really be able to generate conventional forces ready for a conventional war with Russia? No, I'm not."
