And the GOP will walk side-by-side with our leftist ruling elite who take away our freedom. They hate us just a little less than the left.
“There aren’t Putin lovers on FR”
you’re a liar or you haven’t been reading.
And obviously Trump is not a Putin lover. He wants us to help Ukraine.
DISAGREE.
IMPORTANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE ALL HISTORIC KEY EVENTS OF UKRAINE DOMINATION BY FOREIGN POWERS
9TH CENTURY - Founding of Kievan Rus, the FIRST major Eastern Slavonic state. The traditional account founding to the semi-legendary Viking (or Varangian) leader Oleg, ruler of Novgorod, who went on to seize Kiev which, owing to its strategic location on the Dnieper River, became the capital of Kievan Rus.

the definitive word STARTED
Thank you.
I have been trying to sign up to volunteer also on top of my donations.
Yet, I was told by one other poster today that I was donating to Soros group.
Since when is Franklin Grahams org a Soros group.
I also tried to start a thread last night with the links to Franklin Grahams samaritans purse org and the direct link to the Ukraine humanitarian site.
It would not load. I supposed that it was considered spam.
No, they hate you more.
Dylan, Idiot Wind:
"You hurt the ones that I love best
And cover up the truth with lies
One day you'll be in the ditch
Flies buzzin' around your eyes
Blood on your saddle"
The Dems don't "hurt the ones that I love best", everyone knows them for what they are.
My heart breaks everyone here who STILL believes the GOP lies, and who are hurt by them, again and again and AGAIN.
It's the GOP that's headed for the ditch, and it can't come too soon.
All that your comment did was convince me that the Ukraine was insane to give up their nukes for Europe’s promises of “protection.”
You would think that Conservative, Inc.’s 31 years of lost wars would give the Bidenistas a strong sense of skepticism.
They are almost too stupid to breathe.
Where is the link to the speech?
Did they say they loved Putin?
Or were they simply giving him the respect due him as a feared adversary?
History shows that underestimating your adversaries is the biggest and most common mistake in war.
So when people (including Trump) give Putin due respect as an adversary - they are doing the smart thing - don’t call them “Putin lovers”.
Yes. I agree. Putin was/is not to be trusted. The Ukrainian people wanted peace. They thought if they did, peace would be achieved.
Some were going far beyond that, even reveling in the deaths of Ukrainians.
I agree about nuclear war and also that President Trump sometimes pulls the trigger before he has a clear target picture.
He should be President right now, so in my mind he is.
Sorry, I didn’t see any of that - they deserve your scorn.
Thank you for the link.
Unfortunately, this is actually prohibited by the USA law.
If US is not involved, it is quite tricky to help foreign country. And with Biden in charge, who knows, we could even get involved fighting alongside Russia against Ukraine.
Anyway, I am too old now, they do not want me anyway! I checked.
Sounds dangerous.
So too is Putin putting his nuclear forces on high alert.
Franklin Graham slipped in the polls when he said that Jesus would take the vaccine.
Quote may have been taken out of context, but a lot of damage was done.
I have to agree with you on this one. This is why I consider myself an independent.
I wastrying to formulate that exact thought but you did it well.
Where is our red line? If he he gets away with threatening nukes, then he will not stop ever, until it’s too late!
