It's starting to make sense now. Putin has disowned Prigozhin so he can run amok in the Ukraine. Prigozhin will be the one to detonate the tactical nuke or blow up the power plant and Putin will say,"he is not acting on behalf of Russia!" He's just gone to Belarus to make it look like the separation is real. Within 60 or 90 days I expect something large to happen.
NATO made it clear that any fallout from a nuclear attack in Ukraine reaching a member state would trigger article 5. If Putin thinks he can pin such an attack on a rogue actor like Prig instead of Russia then maybe he can get away with it.
Because if Trump, DeSantis, or someone equally as extreme manages to win the presidency, they’ve been pretty clear that they’re going fuck Ukraine over. Trump specifically took Zelensky’s refusal to play into his “stolen election” bullshit as a personal slight. That precise mentality of “you didn’t help me do something sketchy to increase my personal power so I’m going to fuck you over” is dismayingly prevalent in GOP circles today.

I realize that that is what you are claiming. I’m asking you to show the evidence for this. Why do you think that the US will end support for Ukraine?
Major figures in both parties have said that support is going to continue. This isn’t a particularly partisan issue.
But Republicans are holding up the current Ukraine aid bill in the House.
Republicans aren’t holding up the Ukraine aid bill in the House because they’re opposed to Ukraine aid. Even the people holding it up have stated that. They’re holding up the Ukraine aid bill because it’s a big, important bill, and they’re trying to use it as leverage to get their border policy – which is a big crowd-pleaser for their voters – through.
Similarly, Democrats aren’t holding up the Israel aid bill in the Senate because they’re opposed to Israel aid. They’re doing it for the same reason.
This stuff happens on a pretty regular basis in the US political system, and it’s part of how the system works. There are three different entities that can affect the legislative process – two legislative houses and the Presidency – and it’s rare for both parties to control all three. In any situation other than that, you’ll see parties blocking legislation to obtain leverage to get what they want.
But Trump said that he would end the war in 24 hours.
Trump also said in his last campaign that he would have Mexico pay for a wall between the US and Mexico. Trump has put numerous short statements out on campaign that aren’t even consistent with his own statements; I remember him saying that he would increase H1-B visas in one campaign stop in his last campaign where that was popular, and decrease them in another. He’s made quite a few one-liners like that, and they don’t wind up translating into policy.
When Trump was in office, he was pretty unremarkable from a policy standpoint. How he presented himself was unusual. But he didn’t represent dramatic change from a policy standpoint. Hell, even the “wall” that was the centerpiece of his last campaign – and some wall was built – was a rehashed form of Bush’s fence that he scored points with voters on.
There are two parties in the US. These parties are centrist, big-tent, and from a policy standpoint, don’t dramatically differ. Most policy stays pretty similar from administration to administration. But even if they did differ, most foreign policy isn’t driven at the political level – the people who are doing that are bureaucrats lower down in the executive branch. They don’t change from election to election. There are rare exceptions, like popular opposition to the Vietnam War, where politics does get seriously involved. But that’s not the norm. The US has had the same parties in place for a long time, and US foreign policy doesn’t whipsaw back and forth election by election. This isn’t our first time around the block on this.
Didn't we already receive other reports that it isn't about economic problems for Ukraine only, but that military deliveries are also stuck at the border?
Less than half of the worse and smaller party once again holding American "democracy" captive from the minority of the minority....
WTF, USA?
Sort your shit out.
You could be a decent country if you'd cut through the gerrymanders and the corporate lobbying constantly pushing the worst of the worst to the forefront of every damn decision and conversation. Not much of a democracy AND not much of a republic if that's how it is every single time.
Yes, of course it's true and, whatever Mr Volodymyr #Zelensky and his court and other cowards think, we will soon unfortunately have a #Ukrainia under occupation by very dangerous invaders on the Palestinian model and its territory stolen...
Fuck to #Putin - Fuck to #Zelensky - Fuck to #Trump - Fuck to all world leaders - #Hamas is the result of #Israëlian oppression and crimes since 56 years. #Israël produces the #Hamas...
You should buy yourself a brain for Christmas, but don't go to the discounts, the prices are low, these are entry-level models, make an effort, don't look at the price, get a well-built model with options for reflexions.
It's a weird comment, but note how they spell Israeli. "Israëlian."
Betisedelhom is a non-native speaker, more specifically French speaking. And in French Zelenskyy is latinised as Zelensky.
Bit of a tangent, but I worked with Ukrainian refugees, and often latinisation of cyrillic names is wildly inconsistent. So much so that I had two brothers whose names were spelled differently on their passports, causing a number of issues. The rules have also changed over time.
I was pointing out that it was unfair to call you stupid, simply because you used the most common French latinisation of Zelenskyy. You're clearly a non-native speaker, and in any case latinisation of cyrillic names isn't always uniform anyway.
"Don't mess with me".
Or what? You'll call us names and threaten to not be friends?
When I see assholes like you, I wonder if the Western assholes aren't finally right to leave you at Putin's mercy because we've realised that you're a corrupt, dishonest people...
All your leaders are corrupt and you're happy to join us in a so-called war on corruption that you're only discovering like the bastards you are in 2023?
You know what? I think I will. Don’t tell me what to do.
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.
You know what ?
You are a sterile cockhead...
You get excited like the mono neuron that you are, relax, put your favorite dildo in your anus and suck the tranny who is your father...
You are the archetype of the perfect useful idiot of networks
Also, it’s a pretty obvious tell that you automatically slip into hate speech, despite all your hand-wringing about Palestinians and their human rights. But fuck everyone else, right?
I repeat to you another time :

It is high time that you learned the meaning of what you read, a suggestion learn to read and understand...
@gravitas_deficiency
One thing is certain is that we cannot say of you that you are half an idiot, no in fact we can just affirm on facts that you are a double or even a triple idiot
@gravitas_deficiency
In fact, you should always try to respond to idiots, that could educate them, I remain an eternal optimist on this point...
I do it until I'm tired, and then you tire me...
For instance, I’m gonna go roast some broccolini with a spritz of lemon before serving for an early lunch, which should be quite refreshing to enjoy with a vermouth and soda (rocks). Have you got any designs on lunch, or are you more of a breakfast/brunch sort of person?

the difference is israel has the cash to hand over to defense contractors, ukraine is 'aid' that has to be 'paid for' somehow; and the 'lend lease' act expired without actually being used. israel also gets 'aid' which is just crazy.
