Blinken seems to guiding the ship in Ukraine wit the paused elections, etc. Makes me wonder if it is a trial run for here.

   The leftist communist that now run the democrat party want totalitarian rule and are willing to do whatever to keep it.  Ukraine is the model they are eyeing.

  Putin has signaled he is ready for peace talks.   Of course this will be a negotiation, and Dictator Zelenskyy knows it will mean concessions which will ultimately boot him out of power.   And the US knows it will cut way back on the money laundering machine they have created.

  Never mind the lives that could be saved, the meat grinder fuels the money laundering. 

As they are attempting to do with Trump.  AOC came out and said the truth out loud: that they are using the trials to deliberately prevent Trump from campaigning, thereby interfering in the election.

  Exactly.   Imagine how fast the DoJ would spring to action if there was any attempt to interfere with FJB's re-election.

Same with the first amendment. It used to be the liberals that were for free speech, now they are the most pro-censorship bunch we’ve ever had. 

  The mask have been ripped off.    We were told pre 2016 election how DJT was going to plunge us into WW3.   The fat fucking slob that was Trump deranged on this forum kept going off on how Trump would be "cooking off nukes" to any country that insulted him.

  Then we heard how DJT would get us into a nuclear war with NK.  And so on, etc.    This was all coming from the leftist who were telling us how peace loving they were.   My my how times have changed.

  We are in a very dangerous time right now as we have a regime in Washington that is desperate to retain power, at any cost.  They look at Dictator Zelenskyy and marvel at martial law and how the elections are suspended, as well as how he has gotten rid of opposition parties either by jailing them or eviction.   

 

Assuming we can believe what’s posted on Chinese social media; in this case I think we can.

Russia is running low on men, if hiring myriad of mercenaries is any indication. He paints a clear picture of the disadvantages (language barriers, no “brothers in arms” cohesion). 

But these are not necessarily indicative of Russia losing the war. China has millions it can send to help and Russia has closed the borders to stop its own young men from fleeing.

Someone not me who has been in actual combat tell me if this is true:  Drones are a game changer.  I’ve seen camera footage from drones as they detect men or tanks, target and kill.  Death from a soulless robot from above.   Small and agile, unlike manned aircraft, harder to target with anti-aircraft weapons before it drops its load or suicides into you?  And cheap as hell compared to other means of aerial attack.  The technology will probably rapidly get better to make them even more deadly.

Russia isn’t going to be defeated. Nor will she just stop. As long as the U.S. pumps resources into Ukraine this will go on indefinitely.  Yes Russia has a manpower problem but so does Ukraine. Both sides will send men to die until none are left, then they’ll keep paying ever more mercenaries or worse, get their allies directly involved: Russia-China vs Ukraine-USA/NATO. Great.

We need Trump in office to tell these two to knock it off.

  Russia has always used mercenaries, as do most militaries.  There's nothing new here.

  Ukraine is running low on troops.  This is why Dictator Zelenskyy wants to become (one of the reasons) a member of NATO so he can get a pipeline of troops to fight his war, as well as more money and equipment.

  No one sees just how ridiculous this clusterfuck has become.   We watch Israel get attacked and the FJB Regime keeps demanding Israel ceasefire and enter into peace talks (with a terrorist group no less) yet that same regime has impeded peace talks and negotiations on the Ukraine war.

  The FJB regime has held back munitions from Israel while demanding more money that has almost unaccountability for a country being run by a dictator.

  Anyone with just a few functioning brain cells can see what the Ukraine war is really about, and why the people behind it want it to continue indefinitely.

  The final irony in all of this:  Conservatives have always been painted as "war mongers" while the leftist have cried "If you elect that republican he'll get us into a war!", yet now look at where we are.    Unreal.

Mercenary fighting for the Russians has a different view:
