Also, there are rumors of front line Ukrainians being slaughtered by the Russians over and over.
I saw that. Looks like black voters vs.other black voters finally admitting what we all know. That voter fraud is how the dirty dems win elections.
McCarthy wants a floor vote on the impeachment inquiry, something Pelosi didn't do. Does McCarthy have the Rep votes for even an impeachment inquiry?
There will not be significant change on either side over the next year or so. Stalemate is what they have and I see no big changes. This is based strictly on military analysis, not politics or diplomacy.
We—the whole world—have to hope that a Trump victory happens next year. If so, Trump will force Ukraine to give up the Donbas and Crimea, and Russia to pay war reparations (probably through a tax on their energy being sold once again in the West). Trump is NOT Putin’s puppet and will deal fairly with both sides.
Trump is peace.
Biden is war.
America and the WORLD waits.
Awww, thanks FRiend! Your valuable local observations and weather interpretation is always appreciated!
I wonder if its this:
He(biden) could say “I have sex with 7 year olds, I took 100 million from Ukraine as a bribe and my son Hunter had sex with his own niece” and the media would cover it up and the GOP would send a letter in protest.

Yeah, remember when Strom Thurmond was an outlier of old age (100 yo) when he died in the saddle?
Now we have dozens like him.
Incumbency has its benefits.
Buffett spent early years in Mobile and his love of bayou life is as endearing as his keys/boating/island adventuring. I’ll take his music with me since I hear little or no politics in it.
His beautiful, touching, happy bayou ditty ‘Creola’ is stuck in my head. Lyrics are as good as the mellloooodeee:
I remember as a child all the happiness and smiles
Flowed around my grandma’s Sunday table
While Auntie Mae was sayin’ grace
Papa T would sneak a taste
Catch a funny look from my cousin Mabel
Then daddy’d beat the drum
The old folks start to hum
Sing the only song that we all knew
Ambiance so fine, dancin’ drinkin’ wine
Sing about the lifestyle on the bayou
Makes me feel like dancin’
Fall in love romancin’ the melody
Loved what they were sayin’ (sayin’)
Loved what they were playin’ (playin’)
The years have come and gone
Still the old song lingers on
I keep it in my heart with fond affection
Like the family good luck charm
That keeps away the harm
Creola’s always there for my protection
It’s in the mood, it’s in the blood
It’s in the food, it’s in the mud
It’s a spicy kind of life
Creola
Just forget about the mumbo jumbo
Hello to the world of gumbo
That's as good as it gets and many here appreciate it.
. Here's a small sample of what you will find on her threads:
Yeah its becoming a huge problem.
I get it. He was keys music for decades and will not be forgotten.
Time is beginning to press. President Biden’s regular promise to support Ukraine for “as long as it takes” sounds good, save that we have little clear idea of what the “it” really means. Ukrainians may be forgiven for believing that “it” means “until we have achieved our war aims”, which are very clearly set out in Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s 10-point peace plan. This, among other objectives, posits the recovery of all Ukraine’s legal territory – including Crimea, named by Ukraine’s overall military commander as its “centre of gravity” and main objective. Due to the risk of Russian nuclear escalation, there is very little if any appetite in senior US government circles for assisting Ukraine to retake Crimea. Biden’s “it” does not seem to include Ukraine’s primary war aim.
If we make the (now) reasonable assumption that the war is likely to go on beyond 2024, two other increasingly pressing matters should be front and centre of western (especially European) strategists’ minds. One is inevitable, the other only highly likely. First, there is the US presidential election. During the election, the outgoing Biden administration will try to calibrate the level of support and perceived risk of escalation that an increasingly sceptical US population will accept. It is, of course, possible that a new president could completely change the strategic landscape.
Second, there is Taiwan and the wider western Pacific’s relevance to Ukraine. The chairman of the US joint chiefs of staff, General Mark Milley, declared in 2019 that the main effort of the US military will be the western Pacific. US military and intelligence officials have been consistent that a Chinese threat to Taiwan will become “manifest” before 2027. As if that wasn’t enough, there is also the constant possibility of a serious flare-up in the South China Sea, where similar considerations apply. If the war in Europe is still raging, it will be seen and treated as a sideshow. The conduct of the war would be left largely in the hands of Europe. As matters stand, this could well condemn Ukraine to defeat.
More than ever, the west needs to unite around a workable, saleable long-term plan and an achievable end state. This need not be the same as Ukraine’s. It seems this process may have begun. Recently, Stian Jenssen, director of the private office of the Nato secretary general, Jens Stoltenberg, suggested that western diplomats were beginning to consider trading Ukrainian land for Nato membership. Saying the quiet bit out loud, that could mean accepting the possibility of a deal over Crimea and Donbas. This suggestion was followed by an apology, although the idea was not ruled out. Ukraine was predictably furious, although a strong argument can be made that this is what the US is offering now, if rather more clearly expressed. Interestingly, Russia scoffed at the idea – keeping Nato out of Ukraine is a central Russian war aim. With the war likely to go well beyond next year, we need to look coldly at not just where we are, as friends and supporters of Ukraine, but where we are likely to be in two, three or 10 years. We must also bear in mind – as Anatol Lieven pointed out in the Guardian on Wednesday, the vital fact that the enemy gets a vote.
Dittos to you from me also!
RIP El Diablo.
Stalemate equates to a war of attrition. Ukraine can't afford to lose a generation of young men no matter what weapons we send to them.
I never really understood the purpose of the counteroffensive. Ukraine doesn't have the wherewithal to seize and then hold more territory. The defenders (Russians) need far less people to hold off the attackers. And then there is the question of logistics.
Hiya, AB! Your presence on the hurricane threads is always appreciated. Thank you for all you do to make FR a valuable resource!
How do you sort it all out as to who is on whose side? That question alone leaves me with huge questions about where loyalties lie alone.
Russia is better but not when you get near the Ukraine border it gets very complex within 50-75 miles of the Ukraine/Russia border.
We should share the same level of patriotism as the J6 political heroes. God bless them!
There are endless rumors that the space force headquarters are in Maui and much of it is underground.
In Taiwan no telling what goes on underground there. Smuggling is mentioned often.
So there are a lot of questionable players all over the world who knows who is whom anymore.
