"Other parts" of NATO? Ukraine is not a member of NATO. I'm sure he wishes it were so and considers them so in all but fact.
How naive can you be?
You say the “Bidem Regime” (which I despise) is making claims about what Putin will do. Well, DUH! The “Putin Regime” has been making open threats against NATO and the West on a routine basis; every couple weeks the “Putin Regime” threatens to nuke someone.
Of course the Biden Regime will use such rhetoric to squeeze Congress for more money. It’s what beggars always do.
As for Saddam; he had actually used WMDs (gas); so, he had a track record. The BS was the story about the Iraqi nuke program.
Russian bounties on US soldiers? Propaganda value, as it implies there ARE American soldiers fighting in Ukraine. There are not, of course; but if there had been, don’t you think they’d have been killed along with the many hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian troops you guys claim have been killed? And if that were the case, don’t you think the loss of all those American lives would have been noticed?
You guys are a clown show.
Yes, Ukraine is corrupt. And yet, Russia is more corrupt (pretty much every reported study of national corruption has Russia as more corrupt than Ukraine (but not by a hell of a lot). And I am on record here on FR as saying I oppose having any American boots on the ground in Ukraine or American helmets in the air above Ukraine. Our border? I’ve been for a secure border since my young days in California in the 1950s. See my tagline.
Everything you think is true about Putin is more true of Biden. It's past time people like you were made to care more about our problems. We're not in a position anymore to nit pick about other countries,
I agree.
Ukraine is corrupt and Russia is more corrupt. Or it’s a tie - whatever.
But it was the corrupt Ukrainians who bought off DC ‘elites’ and expected American treasure for their small investment. (Millions of dollars to DC thug democrats and Billions in return is a bridge too far).
Have you a link?
How many Russian agents are in the USA? How many sleeper cells? How many Chinese, Iranians. A handful of agents could cause terrible harm to the nation, crash grids, blow up pipelines, spread diseases. Set fires, wreck railroads. you name it. If we fight Russia—some of the war will be here! Bad Idea—for what? To keep Biden’s Corruption secret?
“The “Putin Regime” has been making open threats against NATO and the West on a routine basis; every couple weeks the “Putin Regime” threatens to nuke someone. “
Putin is not the only tyrannical government making nuclear threats against Americans.
Yeah, there is not a lot of daylight between Putin and Biden. I have no use for either. But, you clearly do.
“But it was the corrupt Ukrainians who bought off DC ‘elites’ and expected American treasure for their small investment.”
As did the Russians. Or, do you forget the millions the Russian mayor of Moscow poured into the Biden coffers?
“Have you a link?”
Yeah, Frick; I do.
nah
Yeah, Frick. Already posted. Many times.
Biden would sell out our country to our enemies in a second. And our 'intelligence thugs and goons' would work to cover and protect Biden and his crime family. Maybe 51 of 'em would sign a letter... Soon everyone will know...
I don't believe Putin would sell out the Russian people to US intel and I don't believe Xi would sell out China to American intelligence. But Biden would - maybe for young sisters to 'sniff' maybe for cash and diamonds maybe because he just a traitor and doesn't even need the money. Same for a lot of DC. Those folks are living large on 'public servant' pay...
There's corruption and there's corruption. The United States is dirty.
Really dirty. Our people make laws so our public servants can "sell speeches" for $40,000 A MINUTE - - so long as they 'jump on their feet three times and the person giving them the bribe fills a room up with a paid audience to 'hear the speech'. (an aside - some of the poorest and/or most corrupt counties in the world pay these prices for American 'speeches' - Bill Clinton was turned down by the State Department for giving one in the Republic of Congo because even THEY couldn't take that level of bullsh*t with a starving population) And don't get me started on 'book deals'...
You sound as if you think grift is unique to the US. You are naive. But, for some reason, your angst and criticism is directed either exclusively or primarily towards the US. That would suggest a bias on your part.
Screw NATO. We need to get out of that money draining crap organization.
Trump made it stronger and Putin has united it and reinvigorated it, which attained many of the goals for NATO that President Trump had when he was facing the Russian threat while building up our European forces and nuclear weapons and ending our INF treaty with Russia.
It’s not bias.
I know there are bad people - and they’re distributed in all countries. But I also know somehow our country kept a lot of the bad people out of power. I’m sure there’s a ‘Hilter’ somewhere in the US, but our systems keep him working in shoe repair shop - not leading the country. We keep our evil people powerless.
How?
One of the beauties of the jury system and of our free elections is if there’s enough people looking at a situation, lots of times they make the right call on who’s good, who’s not, who’s guilty and who probably is innocent. We have a beautiful system.
But I also feel that the United States has traditionally been one of the most decent and honorable counties in the world. And yeah, I know Jefferson slept with his slaves, and that none of our people walk on water - but in spite of our humaneness we’ve pulled off a wonderful country. A beacon of light and freedom. So, lots of us take whoring down of our country personally. Corruption on the level we’ve seen it the last decade or two is a horror for a country as great as ours was. I don’t have that same expectation for China or Russia or Iran or the Republic of Congo. I hold us to a higher standard. How can you not feel the same?
“”””And yeah, I know Jefferson slept with his slaves, “”””
No you don’t, thinking that merely shows how you fall for propaganda.
I believe there’s been DNA testing - not exact but the children are definitly related to Jefferson or his brother or someone in that family. I’m guessing it’s probably like they say - and that one of our founding fathers had children with his slave. That said there were also slave owners in Obama’s family tree - on his mother’s side... “No one’s perfect” is NOT an excuse for Biden and his son and family from taking money, diamonds, cars etc from our adversaries and ‘friends’ in exchange for favors.
I have no delusion about anyone being perfect... my position is that our system of government has produced one of the most decent and free countries in the world - and that we have standards to live up to. which don’t include being able to walk on water.
