#34: "Finland it was giving nukes to Belarus"

Do you or do you not know Finland does not have nuclear weapons?

#53: While I'm at it - did you see the articles where the NATO IDIOTS thought they could use GPS in Ukraine, and Russia is easily JAMMING IT!!!!

Please post the article so we can laugh at it. If Russia was jamming GPS its news to all the Russians blown to bits by GPS guided GMLRS.
I thought Iraq bought Chinese GPS jammers? They did? That worked out well for them.

#47, #51, #56: (sex... drugs... etc...)

What is it with everyone opposing aiding Ukraine and their obsessions with sex or drugs?

#58. "I already told you that one, Belarus now has NUKES."

No, you said Finland had nuclear weapons. Belarus gave up its nuclear weapons under the Budapest Memorandum along with Kazakhstan and Ukraine.
Second, Russia has not actually sent nuclear weapons to Belarus. Putin says he will by July and is building a Iskander storage facility there.
Russia has yet to actually follow through, and July is a long way off in a war like this.
Given US and Russian strategic nuclear weapons, the location of tactical nuclear weapons is meaningless.

Ukrainians do that to their own as decades of history prove.

Everybody knows Ukraine would never qualify nor get the votes of the Nato countries - so it’ll never happen.

Is my tagline of:

🇺🇦 Слава Україні! 🇺🇦 Sláva Ukrayíni! 🇺🇦 ☭ No CCCP 2.0 ☭

Enough of a clue?

“🇺🇦 Слава Україні! 🇺🇦 Sláva Ukrayíni! 🇺🇦 ☭ No CCCP 2.0 ☭
Enough of a clue?”

Figures that you’re Ukrainian, explains the behavior PERFECTLY. Nice having this intense discussion with you, but I limit my discussions to Americans, as it is ONLY American policy (which also means NATO) that I’m interested in.

Good, then maybe I won't have to worry about your trolling later.

True, there is a reason since 1991 they were rejected to enter NATO or the EU. Besides the poverty level and wide spread corruption, who in their right mind would sponsor rebuilding the country with $800 billion ? (Blackrock estimate).

The EU is broke, the West is broke, it took Germany two decades to reabsorb Eastern Germany, and South Korea refuses “ reunification “ due to costs.

Ukraine is now a destroyed welfare nation. A destroyed pawn of the West, easy to see:

Ukraine 1991-2023, the sooner the better.

“Born, raised, and still living there.”

People can claim anything here - the 3 flags make it OBVIOUS. Anyway, I don’t blame you for leaving.

SCOTT RITTER: NATO Can't do Anything

What is the military tactic in Ukraine that the media won't explain to us? Don't worry, we've got former U.N. weapons inspector Scott Ritter on the show to explain how Ukraine is on the ropes, no matter what Ukraine or NATO does.

Well that’s just it....and besides nobody wants the Ukrainian people to contend with....bribes and corruption are part of their culture from top to bottom. All the Times Kiev's been rebuilt hasn't changed that....in fact one leader said that conflict and rebuilding after it is the only way Ukraine gets anything done.

Why? They’d never be able to pay their fair share, and would be nothing more than the leeches they are today.

"Not on FR. A lot of folks here want to feed Ukraine to the Mongol Horde."

And why not, since the Biden admin, and plenty of Republicans are willing to destroy this country so they can endlessly help a corrupt country, without demanding to know where all that money and military equipment is going to. The fact that we have to ask South Korea to provide us with artillery shells so we can send them to Ukraine, is f*cking disgusting.

That is a lie:

U.S. Secretary of State James Baker’s famous “not one inch eastward” assurance about NATO expansion in his meeting with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev on February 9, 1990, was part of a cascade of assurances about Soviet security given by Western leaders to Gorbachev and other Soviet officials throughout the process of German unification in 1990 and on into 1991, according to declassified U.S., Soviet, German, British and French documents posted today by the National Security Archive at George Washington University (http://nsarchive.gwu.edu).
