“”You’re assuming he’s dead.””

He’s dead. The DS killed him. I’m just surprised that his bestie Ghislaine hasn’t been offed by now. Must have really good security or a really good “emergency exposé plan” in place, to be released to every media outlet on planet earth... should she have an unexpected “axedent”.

Not an excerpt; no need to visit the source. Hope I've not missed anyone speaking up about this; can't imagine I'm the only one who's been thinking about it. Thanks.

I do believe Peabody is no longer around. I haven’t been able to get in touch with them for quite some time.

Just drop me an email at info@psenhancements.com.

Who ever said the media wasn’t about hype? Isnt that what increases their ratings & isn’t ratings that keeps them afloat?

So nice to see an article countering the propaganda. I will include it as a reference to my post.

As long as articles keep appearing around Israeli genocide and IDF killing of civilians I’ll keep posting this piece of reality about civilian deaths in warfare. The very fact Hamas and Hezbollah say they can count the number killed means these people were within the boundaries of their control. Any realistic appraisal of their behavior would see they consider civilians as so many biodegradable sandbags possessing utility as political props.

The idea of “bringing terrorists to justice” is a breathtaking mockery of any civilized understanding of justice. All four Geneva Accords deal with terrorist organizations and they find no sanctuary anywhere. The feral psychopaths of Hamas and Hezbollah never display the civility required for Geneva Convention definitions for militia, armed force, or volunteer corps, but are so dissociated from country or culture, so committed to butchery that they best match Webster’s definition for a virus. They are not insurgents or freedom fighters, and when captured, certainly not prisoners of war. These killers are not members of an organized resistance movement carrying arms openly, and they have no distinctive identifier. The Geneva Conventions place terrorists beyond the pale, discuss no limits in dealing with their depredations. So, their eradication would come closest to achieving meaningful justice.

The Geneva Conventions, which attempt to grasp rational, moral threads to apply during wars’ barbarity formed the basis for our operations. For my Navy experience helping to pulverize a major enemy base in the Mekong Delta of Vietnam, I especially liked the obvious reading of Articles 28 and 29 of the Fourth Geneva Convention. The VC were responsible for any civilian deaths in the base our ship shelled. Those civilians qualified as Protected Persons within the enemy’s physical control and could not be used to render certain points and areas immune from military operations. The Convention articles are as follows:

ART. 28. — The presence of a protected person may not be used to render certain points or areas immune from military operations.

ART. 29. — The Party to the conflict in whose hands protected persons may be, is responsible for the treatment accorded to them by its agents, irrespective of any individual responsibility which may be incurred.

The passages furnished the basis for rules of engagement we followed when attacking a legitimate military target. The base the SEAL team identified in the U Minh Forest had been continuously used at least since the Vietnamese had fought the Japanese, so families of the VC would have been residents as well. Distance provided me with the blessing of avoiding the cleanup afterwards for the mess I helped create with our 445 rounds of 3”50cal. However, I am certain our task force was effective. We helped to permanently shatter the last intact VC main force unit, forcing it to surrender control the region.

Considering there’s an entire island (San Clemente Island) there for shore bombardment (or was when I was in the Navy), I don’t know why any navy ship would be firing anything at mainland USA.

“”...tragically there will probably be an idiotic Democrat sitting in the White House fairly soon who will give Putin everything he wants while pretending to be tough on russia.””

It would be much more likely... if that were the case ... ie another idiotic Democrat sitting in the White House... that they would give Z everything he wants while actually being tough on Putin/Russia. At least, that has been my observation on how the rats would do the deal based on theire past history.

The Democrats would love to keep the Ukraine war going on.... forever, if they could manage it. Yet another reason why they hate Trump. He is upsetting their money-laundering schemes on every level.

Who would that be then?

Why not carve up Russia to the original Countries? Language?Most of Central and South America speak Spanish... Should Spain now own those countries
??

Now tell me what % of those also speak Ukrainian? After WWII Russia outlawed Ukraine language. So, most older Ukrainians speak Russian.

Yes a suspiciously dual use technology.

...Giuffre wrote that she first met the prime minister on Epstein’s private island when she was 18, sometime in 2002...

“”The rest is speculation. If Putin were really trying to force Ukraine’s capitulation, there’s no reason for Trump to meet Putin. So something else is going on.””

***

Here is my speculation...

Trump knows Putin for what he is. Stubborn, determined and also a shrewd negotiator. There is a modicum of respect there, going both ways. That said, Trump just wants the killing to end. Putin is holding out for Trump to sweeten the deal with whatever is Putin’s bottom line demands.

Despite what Putin projects as determination to stay in it for the long haul, Putin is war-weary and ready to make a deal. The ‘deal’ has to make it look like Putin came out on top and on the winning end, however.

The Ukraine war will end soon, despite all best efforts by the radleft to keep it going, hoping that the war can and will outlast Trump’s term in office so the grifting and scamming can continue.

Well spotted. These op-eds promoted on these threads are just so much "paid-to-scribble" articles. As the flogged blog says, they 'go both ways,' so to speak.

So long as Putin is in power he is coming back for round 3. Don’t forget Trump will not be president forever and as much as Everyone likes to tell me the Democrats are finished, tragically there will probably be an idiotic Democrat sitting in the White House fairly soon who will give Putin everything he wants while pretending to be tough on russia.

One observes that by this time in the thread's length, not a single Freeper who addressed a comment to "whyilovetexas111" has been given the courtesy of a response?

This is a regular MO. Post and, at best, rarely respond, pro or con.

You mean, like being over two decades wrong about that collapse?

MSM Trying To Derail Peace in Russia-Ukraine War, Reporting Trump Told Zelensky ‘Accept Putin’s Terms or Be Destroyed’ – Moscow Criticizes Kiev and EU Leaks – Trump Denies Reports

The Donbas has always been largely Russian. Russian is the main language of 74.9% of residents in Donetsk Oblast.

The "borders" of Ukraine are a mere construct, like the ones in Africa or the Mideast. Is it worth the blood of hundreds of thousands more Christian men to maintain this fantasy?
