Many young Ukrainians working remotely for foreign tech companies were moved over the border into Poland so they could continue working for them. This has resulted in older Ukrainian farmers and rural workers to be slaughtered in their stead.

Fantastic post, beautifully written and researched and unfortunately soon to be ignored by those who need it the most (tagged above). They prefer to post Biden propaganda and then run along, never engaging except for nasty comments. Alexander and Alex, along with their Duran Report, are the best source of accurate information, bar none.

No, the slaughtering is the direct result of Russian pigs.

But they are dying by the thousands as well.

France is so butthurt by the Russians taking away their African colonies that the little sharts will do anything to widen the war and drag America in.

"So opposite to the claims that Ukraine is emptying orphanages for soldiers, the truth is they have been too lenient with their draft."

How come you haven't volunteered, oh great armchair warrior? You could sacrifice your sad, venomous propagandizing arse to save a young Ukrainian girl from going to the front lines and dying. It might even make your pathetic little existence meaningful.

Billy, you are one of the worst of the Zeepers. That puts you somewhere between genital warts and colon cancer.

Your comment reads like it was posted from a bunker under direct enemy fire. Are the bombs getting close?

why do you think the average age is 43-45?

They were slower and easier to catch?

As thousands fled Kyiv in the first days of Russia’s 2022 invasion, one 57-year-old grandmother hurried in the opposite direction. Liudmyla Menyuk was going to sign up for the army to avenge her son who’d been killed fighting the Russians almost a decade before.

Ooops! How did that slip through the truth-speak checkers!
(one decade prior Feb 2022 = ?)

Almost a decade = 8 years ago. That’s when the Russians seized Crimea.

Yea, Trump supports Ukraine but he did not allow a war to begin on his watch. He is a businessman who loves his country, and not some self-entitled elite who uses the public office elected to enrich himself at the expense of his fellow countrymen and the world - he has not blood lust.

The deep state is the MIC and Intelligence Apparatus in the US, and he cannot be elected or live in the world going against them openly. Trump has signaled that he will end this war because it is not worth lives of those engaged in the fighting, nor the risks posed to their populations and that of the entire world. People like the Biden Admin are jack-booted thugs, plain and simple. They have used NATO just like they use activist judges, to push the limits of laws and to ignore those laws they don’t much like.

NATO has tested the boundaries of every treaty, every agreement and even the duplicity of their statements are easy to see thru. They are breaking the World International Monetary Order to go after Russia, resulting in Brics.

The west has put itself in the limelight as a lawless Financial bully. We are now breaking our rules based order for short term gains. The rest of the world watches the EU and USA as we break our own laws, push the LGBTQ agenda, and openly talk of war with Russia and listen to us talk about preparing for war with China. These third world people get nothing from the greed of the Democrats, Americans or EUropeans who must profit in order to have their socialist democracies.... These people are embracing the US led split in the world order, and they are happy to join Russia and China, Brazil, even India as they find those ecnomies closer to their financial ability to deal with. There is going to be a currency based on Gold used by Brics - the USA will eventually go to BTC. Our currency is BS. We are failing. Meanwhile we are lashing out and cutting ourselves off from the rest of the world, while threatening everyone.

The US is a thug nation today. We are an extension of Chicago-Way Political Arm of the DNC and Big City Corruption Politics on the world stage. It does not play well. We are no longer a nation where laws keep people civil, and our politicans are openly corrupt.

Biden is illegimate and he seeks to destroy Trump before the election using illegal means. America is one year from communist take over. The Marxists are testing the waters on college campus’ in preparation for their revolving Fourth Year Riots in support of Presidential elections.

Maybe a nuke or two in Ukraine will push many of the Thugs out of power in the West. They are pushing a war against and inside Russia and they think they can topple Russia but they themselves don’t care if the war spreads.

The MIC is the only sector of the US econonmy that is turning a profit. The only sector not in recession in all of the NATO counteries are the Defense Industries - our economy’s are all kaput. We are WAR Based Nation today. Trump can ween us off war profiteering’s but that requires those in power today step aside - they will not let Trump ascend to power again and distrupt their Marxist Communist takeover of the USA.

In 2022/2023 the Biden Administration had a half dozen people come out talking to the media about how America can win a limited nuclear war with Russia. The very fact that they held these beliefs and that they are pushing attacks on Russia’s nuclear defensive radars which is an act of war, is all you need to know about Marxists - every communist country purged millions of people. We are at the mercy of the Marxists in the White House and an old man who doesn’t MIND.

I read your diatribe and sorry that you have become so anti American, though I’m sure you don’t realize it.

“The US is a thug nation”.

No thanks not for me.
And F Russia and what you perceive as Western mistreatment of that true thug regime.

Go Trump and F Biden.

I simply see a facist in the white house and recognize our Empire starting wars of aggression, from Yugoslavia, Iran and Lybia, we protect the USD. Fighting economic wars is the dying gasps of a failed empire. The US under Obama and Biden have seen the west’s greatest fear come true, with the intro of a counter curreny to the USD, Petrodollar, and Frence colonial franc. Brics is bringing a gold based currency to it’s trading bloc, and our war in Lybia was over Kaddafi starting to roll out his African gold backed currency coupled with no interest loans.

I am sick of seeing this country raped by political and global business interests, the nation’s laws destroyed, our culture destroyed... but the worst ones is the amature US representatives like Sillivan, Blinken, or Yellens destruction of our economic relationships abroad.

As a former diplomat and Soldier who devoted my life to America, I no longer recognize it. We have become a nation of sexual deviants pushing our mental sickness diplomatically on the world.

So yea I am sadly not a fan of US diplomacy today or our wars of aggression. We have transformed NATO from a defensive organization in the cold war to enforcers of economic power and compliance.
