NY Post ^ | June 1, 2025 | Mark Lungariello

Secretary of State Marco Rubio doubled down on President Trump’s demand for peace talks between Ukraine and Russia after the war escalated over a weekend with a series of intense bombings inside both countries.

Rubio told Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Sunday that both sides needed to engage in direct talks “to achieve a lasting peace,” according to the State Department.

The message came after Ukraine’s forces wiped out and damaged 41 of the Kremlin’s nuclear bombers and aircraft, attacking at least four air bases across Russia in a massive operation.

Yup. He is turning out to be the unmoored chaos-generator that NatRev predicted.

Zelenski calling it Pearl Harbor?

"Pro-Kremlin bloggers" have described the drone assault - which Ukrainian security sources said hit more than 40 Russian warplanes - as "Russia's Pearl Harbor"

federal ban on abortions at 15 weeks. This was deliberate!

Because killing babies up to 15 weeks is much better than 16!

Well, the nuclear bombers were lined up on the runways as if the there was no war going on. I guess the Russians didn’t study Pearl Harbor.

If you read about the Japanese preparation for Pearl Harbor, they were very thorough and involved a number of novel weapons and tactics. The US severely underestimated the Japanese.

But after four years of war, you would think the Russians would realize that the Ukrainians are quite skilled at modern warfare.

President Trump made it a point to publicly support Graham. If Graham is not punished for this obvious “green lighting” of the CIA in Ukraine, we will know that the President is supporting Graham and his push for war with Russia. And if that’s so, I will not support the President, or anyone in his party. So far, we’ve given empty promisses. All talk, no action.

It’s beginning to manifest that Trump is not in operational control. Patel, Bongino, Musk, etc…

it would pay to find and read General Flynn’s response to this. It has been posted in a few different threads. I think it deserves its own thread.

Give you a bit of advice.

From the founding fathers.

Stay clear of political factions.

Their cult like presentations will rob your mind of a independent reason, dragging you down into their depths of deprivation.

” Pearl Harbor turned out for Japan?”

More likely Putin and Russia will figure out that they just don’t have it and they will understand what a miserable untalented people and nation they really are. I think it is more likely to be a tet offensive.

Last three years was Putin "sleeping"?

... Someone who is not signed on to this “we didn’t know, and we’re not informed” BS.
Nor am I buying the line of “... in the works for the past year and a half...”

Sorry for my tin foil hat, but the line coming out of Ukraine on how this went down sounds like something that came out of the basement of Langley.

Forgive me, but it seems every time we seemingly get close to a settlement something comes in and blows it up. This time I think we’ve approached the point of no return...

“Linda just sabotaged the peace talks just like he sabotaged the red wave during the 2022 midterms by introducing a bill to create a federal ban on abortions at 15 weeks. This was deliberate!”

I would not doubt that one bit.
