Putin is going to give all of his U.S. congressional pawns a big bonus this week.
MTG and Boebert will be dining out at the finest roadside BBQ restaurant in their districts tonight
maybe even see a movie, exchange dick pics..
It's sad to watch these world leaders who understand long strategy use the short American attention span to twist global politics to their own ends.
Ruble isn't doing great tho 🤣
That's fine, he'll just take the money out of one of his Swiss bank accounts.
I could have sworn that The Swiss froze all Russian accounts. Like I vaguely remember a major headline that The Swiss had broken a several hundred year "neutrality" streak.
I think it's OK to put the blame where appropriate here. "U.S. Republican Congressional pawns."
The headline is a bit misleading, as you can see in the 2nd paragraph of the submission text, it's the current round of assistance that has halted, and they're pushing for Congress to continue their support of Ukraine.
Purposely so, that site was using sources and links to RT news.
Yeah, the site is suspect. The article uses the Russian spelling "Kiev" instead of the Ukranian "Kyiv," which is a giveaway that the site might be spreading Russian propaganda. Also:
Argentina seems to show a particularly interesting trend. The country has the region’s highest number of RT online readers, and, in 2014, it was one of the first countries in the region to allow RT to broadcast on public television. Current Argentine President Alberto Fernandez has since added Telesur, the Venezuelan television network, to his country’s basic national television service. Telesur now streams Russian propaganda and disinformation to 83% of the Argentine population. Given the reach of these outlets, it is an unlikely coincidence that 67.4% of Argentinian residents said in 2020 that they view Russia favorably.
It's clear that Ukraine is of "National Security Interests". So I vote we just take a lil bit of the budget allocated for military spending and use it where it would be best served.
it's mostly a gear refresh for our military anyway. we send them stuff we have stockpiled, then we spend the allocated money on new shit for us.
I say we send volunteers from the US military directly, and all their equipment too. I’m sure we can find plenty of right wing dumbasses in the ranks to chew up. Solves three problems at once!
I say that if we're volunteering other people's lives we start with yours. You can't simultaneously say that the Russian military threat is real and also that people in the military have disposable lives. That's precisely how Republicans view the military.
Just so we're paying attention to our news sources,
i can post peoples world as a counter source
The Kurds welcome Ukraine in joining the long list of groups abandoned and left in ruins by the US after being promised support to fight their enemy as long as needed.
Biden needs to focus on committing Genocide now. He has no time for Ukrainians beating an invasion. Surely Zeloonsky understands, he unconditionally supports israel's genocide himself.
Except this is Biden's Whitehouse continuing to tell Congress to approve aid and the GOP blocking that. This was the last package the US could provide without further congressional action. That's not likely as long as GOP runs the house. Biden and the Democratic party have been pretty lock step in providing aid.
what does Biden's whitehouse do to sidestep congress when giving money to Israel, then?
It did not. It allowed Israel to make a purchase with money Israel has that Congress would have approved anyway a little faster.
I'm gonna start a bingo card about shit Lemmings say about US politics. This exaggerated and mostly inaccurate rhetoric is really grating.
It really is wild how ignorant people are on here.
Biden has nothing to do with this, and if it were up to Biden, we would continue sending help to ukraine.
You are so far up your own ass
What a cop out. If Biden put the same effort into getting Ukraine weapons as he does for israel he could certainly find a way. He just doesn't.
Just like how Biden can't fix the student loans because "muh Republicans". It's Good cop Bad cop and you're still falling for it.
What a cop out. If Biden put the same effort into getting Ukraine weapons as he does for israel he could certainly find a way. He just doesn’t.
You realize he's President, and not King, right?
Take the Israel weapon donations, ship them through a sketchy ukranian subcontractor in Ukraine, "lose them" in such a way the ukraine government "aquires" them. Two problems solved.
We could send all of the people fighting the war on drugs, they're used to achieving nothing.
