Russia Loses 1180 Troops, Two Warplanes, 69 Artillery Systems in a Day

He’s got the kind of face that’s just begging to be punched.

He’s a strange one. He’s going on about wanting Putin and Iran to win some war. He must be Russian or Iranian. Maybe he’s got triple citizenship with those two countries and Ukraine. Interesting mix, especially for a poufter.

😃 I’m not a foreigner, nor do I want the Mullahs to win.

Get busy finding and posting those links to support the disgusting, reprehensible accusations you made against me, you cowardly queer.

Until you are able to do that, you shut your stupid yap.

As I said, In 1999 when the first three nations joined NATO, Russia was totally defeated, with Russians still starving in the streets.

What a silly exaggeration. Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia correctly perceived Russia to be a threat to their sovereignty and asked NATO to join (in 2004, not 1999). They were right to do so. None of the countries who joined in 1999 border Russia, excluding the irrelevant Kaliningrad exclave.

NATO further expanded after the Cold War, adding the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland (1999), all three were in the Warsaw Pact. That was the start of the encroachment of NATO to the Russian Border.

As I said, All of the new nations joined NATO to suck off of the largesse of American taxpayers.

What a silly smear. None of them have done so. On the contrary, they have purchased tens of billions of dollars worth of American military hardware supporting our economy.

AMERICA’S BROKEN FOREIGN AID APPARATUS
Testimony Before the
Committee on Oversight and Accountability / Subcommittee for National Security, the Border,
and Foreign Affairs
United States House of Representatives
March 21, 2024
Introduction
The U.S. government has spent hundreds of billions of dollars on foreign aid to support our national security objectives around the world. Our foreign aid apparatus was launched during the Cold War to curb the appeal and spread of communism. During the post-Cold War, foreign aid helped integrate former Warsaw Pact allies of Moscow into Euro-Atlantic structures, countries that would later join us in the fight against Islamic terrorism. The United States has rescued tens of millions of people from natural disasters, epidemics, and ravages of war. I have witnessed many of these achievements as an NGO practitioner, State Department official, US government contractor, think tank policy leader, and senior official at the U.S. Agency for International Development. I have worked in and on crises in Central America and the Caribbean, Balkans, Eastern Europe, Middle East, Sahel, and Central Asia.
Unfortunately, foreign aid budgets have grown so large that our federal agencies can no longer fulfill their management and oversight duties to prevent waste, fraud, and abuse of taxpayer funds. A powerful and politicized aid industrial complex lobbies Congress to achieve two self-serving goals – secure ever larger foreign aid budgets and stymie aid transparency and accountability. Today, we are spending more on foreign aid than ever before, yet the world is poorer, more unstable and corrupt, less well governed, and increasingly beholden to our adversaries. The Trump administration addressed these challenges by adopting a strategy to end the need for foreign aid by focusing on increasing trade and investment relationships over aid dependency. Many reforms instituted have since been undone by the Biden administration. Worse, the sector has been taken over by a fringe group of radicals unrepresentative of America, who undercut the effectiveness of our aid programs, and damage the American brand overseas to the benefit of Communist China, Putin’s Russia, Iran and its proxies, and other global actors that mean to do us harm.

That was free money to prop up tin-pot strongmen that were willing to do the bidding of our State Department.

I asked, Do you honestly think Biden gives a care what happens to a Ukrainian?

I have no idea. What I do know is that his policy of escalation management, where he hobbles Ukraine's ability to defend itself and strike targets in Russia, is disastrous. The same kind of s--t that Obama imposed on Ukraine when Russia stole Crimea in 2014.

Poor baby just wait until all of this NeoCon largesse off of American taxpayers is cut off completely. Your little dictator Lord Voldemort Zelenskyy will flee to some distant corner of the world with his billons of foreign aid lucre you helped him suck from the USA.

>>>>Today she’s with the Mullahs and Putin.<<<<

You accused Allegra of being on the side of the Mullahs and Putin. When asked to provide proof, you provided absolutely nothing.

>>>>If Ukraine loses, Putin and his ally Iran win. Why would any American want that?<<<<

And you insinuated she and other pro-America FReepers are pro-Putin and pro-Iran.

Name one American on this site who is.

You slander people because they don’t worship at the feet of your globohomo god, Zelensky, and because they’re against funding the Biden/Zelensky Laundromat with our tax dollars.

You whine worse than Chuck Schumer. Judging for your past posts, you probably ARE Chuck Schumer.

And you insinuated she and other pro-America FReepers are pro-Putin and pro-Iran.

Name one American on this site who is.

Do as she says, Short Stuff. If you’re going to hurl ridiculous and egregious accusations around like a typical Democrat, then you’d better back them up.

Name them, Limp Wrist, and back it up with posts. I ain’t letting this one go.

The world is a zero sum place.

This belief suggests weak thinking. Life is not a zero sum game.

When mankind came out of the caves and climbed down from trees, can you honestly say that you believe he had to kill another human being to stay alive? Humanity would not have lasted two generations. Life presents choices and if you are willing to be good and forthright any exchange can be beneficial to both parties. If a group follows a leader chosen by merit the whole group can thrive with every member doing his part to achieve any goal. The group does not have to destroy another group to have success.

Ukraine lost when their corrupt politicians listened to and believed our corrupt politicians.

I still remember when I was working for MCI at the Southeast regional FAA center in 1992. The FAA had a showcase with newspaper clippings and various paraphernalia regarding the recent visit of a Ukrainian Armed Forces delegation to the center. What made me notice it was the uniform service caps with the very high peak placed prominently in the display case. Even back then, only a year after the fall of the Soviets, the PTB were angling to fill the power vacuum.
