Joe Ferguson forever

I think that as long as trump is in power, that's where we are headed. Europe doesn't trust trumpski. I don't think Canada or Mexico do or most of the rest of the world at this point. he'll likely withdraw from NATO anyway. Our strongest alliance then becomes the one with the murderous, barbaric russian regime. here's some Bman or NC level sensationalist journalism but if even part is correct, it explains much of what we are seeing. https://www.mind-war.com/p/stop-being-shocked

Get trumpski and The US out of negotiations. stand aside because they're clearly biased toward putin. let Europe broker the peace agreement and back up security after the deal is made. meanwhile, Zelenskyy meets the King (in his customary clothing) and British MP's are calling for the trump visit to be cancelled https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/zelensky-wears-solidarity-outfit-meet-34779520

childish. So in your eyes, the 2 options for Ukraine supporters are : go with whatever trump and putin want or go join the fighting for Ukraine. You commies are really bad at false choices.

interestingly, here is the explanation of the UN resolutions that Rubio completely mischaracterized. The resolution was amended by france and russia. The US refused to support any resolution containing the phrase that russia was the aggressor in the war. https://www.npr.org/2025/02/24/g-s1-50473/un-ukraine-resolution-russia. Nearly all of the free world disagrees with this characterization. Russia was the aggressor. Interesting that you use the words "seized" and "fight for" in relation to russian aggression. they are appropriate words. And why would anyone attempt to explain this situation without invoking putin and trump. they are central players. why would you try to impose that ridiculous rule. Your posts read like they're right from the pages of russian media. Me thinks you protest too much... and BTW, trump likes Putin. He's said so many times. decent people do have to be anti putin. he's a murderer, dictator, tyrant and war criminal. and that's ok with you.

it's not what we're doing. trump called ukraine the aggressor and zelenskyy a dictator. He defended Putin repeatedly saying he and putin had been poorly treated by the US gov't. I'll have to go further back in this interview to see if rubio was being asked about the UN resolution that the US sided with russia and N korea with while all of our traditional allies voted the opposite way. Look, you're clearly a Russian apologist or perhaps even a Russian troll. We get it. You're on Putin's side. From here on out, everything you post should be viewed through that prism.

yes, it is. Simple. straightforward. puts the onus on the perpetrator. What's not to like, Sasha? What are your objections.?

no, Yuri. Tell your boss to stop the invasion of Ukraine and all of this goes away.

no, russia isn't beating us. MAGA is letting them win. And all the hateful morons here are enjoying it. All in the name of being anti establishment, it seems. burn it all down, fascists. Your lives must be somiserable to want this chaos.

Not then. Zelenskyy established it. 2019. Over70% of the votes. Look how much he’s aged in 5 years. F’en Russians and their apologists… https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-48007487.amp so far he’s withstood everything they could throw at him. This is what a true patriot looks like.

This is sabotage for all but the disenfranchised. Rice bowl diplomacy was once a competitive sport. Now we’re f’ed because a bunch of morons voted on their anger and resentment.

Cool. 15 years ago weven before trump’s Quito quid pro quo on Zelenskyy. Because he fired some corrupt stooge. While manafort was working for the Russian mob in charge of Ukraine at the time. You mean then? Yes, context. Smell u tomorrow or later.

Cmon dude. Women are great. Don’t insult them.

Show us some context for all the articles. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing

I think ford SHO's are ugly. Fast but ugly. buy a nice European or Japanese sports car with a standard, then you won't look like a state trooper and you can have fun cornering.

Yes, we have a "doctor" here and 2 "molecular biologists" (what are th odds?) that find the time to post 1000's of times. And some seem to think that showing John McCain reciting time honored American ( real republican) beliefs about communist countries supports their perverse cause. How f'in bad must their lives be to push for russian dominance. They must be getting paid twice the standard russian poverty wage.

to be fair, it's not mostly maga money. most don't pay federal tax. even the high earners like trump. it's yours, mine and like thinking American's.

When I was in grad school, we had 2 great Persian friends. Brother and sister. She was extremely beautiful. He was a science nerd. They went from riches to rags overnight after the revolution. Their family was ostracized and destroyed. But they carried on with NIH stipends, no less. Money well spent. They produced very good science. We should remember that it is from this area that the "cradle of civilization" sprang. They were leaders in science and the arts. now they're shite, as you outline. Authoritarianism brings out the worst and suffocates the best.

If I were a betting man, and we all are to some degree, I'd bet 1. yes, but trump isn't willing to propose it 2. No. even trump isn't that stupid but I suppose it depends on the value of the kompromat. what can be worse than what we already know? little boys? little girls? 3. Yes. They'll hold with a few loopholes to make sure everyone stays warm. 4. I think this depends on the midterms. Americans have a last chance to save us from becoming them.

did you have a nice dinner out? We did too. Too damn windy and cold to walk to the bakery for coffee and dessert. But it was nice... Yeah, I was not aware. Who are the good guys? Does the result matter to us? Whatever you believe, I'm a pragmatist. If we can do something covertly to help the side that wants democracy, i'm all in. If they're both bad, let them fight it out for themselves. they'll be less bad people left. I do know the russians are very interested in enlarging their footprint in Africa. Which side do they support?

We got here because of Stalins land grab at the end offWW2 and Roosevelt's acquiescence. Russia has always wanted more than it deserves or can defend. At least, when America had a backbone. They've lost most of theirrecent proxy conflicts. We're holding our own in the one in Ukraine - without troops. The Berlin wall was torn down. Many soviet holdings were lost especially in the Baltics. You lost the most important event in the 1980 olympics (carter embarrassed you!). Perostroyka began. You still had *****!y grocery stores and movies and pop culture. Ya'll would pay a premium for levis. You wanted to be Americans. And then you made Americans stupidly believe...they want to be you. No small task. Bravo and shame on us.

she's a neanderthal witch. who cares. Let's go back to John McCain and Afghanistan and Iraq being too colored for America to help. Much more interesting than this *****.

If by "we" you mean Russia, I'd say y'all got beat in Afghanistan.

Not a word about "orchestrating regime change"... Just basic, traditional American policy ion helping those repressed by authoritarian regimes get out of their pitiful situation. No wonder trump hated McCain who was an American War hero and honest broker. More convinced that ever that your a Russian troll. F off Boris. Isn't it kinda late in Donbas, no?

Ukraine has been a been a side bet in the continual US/Russian international game of poker. We went “all in” by overthrowing a democratically elected government in Kiev and Russia called our bluff. The current administration is playing with a hand partially drawn by other… Ah, the tired betting metaphor from the mobster administration. Susan Rice is a pulsar. I agree with almost everything she says.

Dude, it's rhetorical question. And they're an actual smart people. But they're not looking to overturn the 22nd amendment and remove the 2 limit max for prez...or anything. nope. Just a sad joke on the state of the nation.
