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.
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.
Bill Maher openly admits this now. He’s a lifelong Democrat and has become sick of the far left takeover. He was on the View recently speaking out against “woke”. He regularly bemoans how the educational system has been taken over by Marxists, that the kids haven’t been taught history, that they don’t know we’ve tried communism and it hasn’t worked, ever, not even once. Capitalism has its problems but there is no better system and it is why this country is so prosperous.
In fact, I agree with Maher on nearly everything with two exceptions: He has bad TDS, so bad he will vote for Biden, in which case he is voting for all the bad policies he complains about, and he buys into the climate change hoax.
In the first case he seems to have drunk the Kool-Aid that Trump is a fascist dictator and in the second he simply hasn’t researched climate change beyond CNN. These two things indicate he gets all his news from the leftist mainstream. When he talked with Roseanne Barr it was revealed he had never even heard of the WEF or Klaus Schwab. But for existing in this lefty bubble kudos to him for being as anti-woke as he is.
Excuse me for veering off the subject but free speech and all, on this forum.
