Yes? Lmfao. You literally did
Show me a racist statement. Are you arguing that all people of a certain race are unskilled?
We have people of all races pouring across our border.

Objective truth and not one mention of race.

That has been on my "to read" list for years,,, mainly because I already kind of agreed with it.
Just a couple of weeks ago a friend who's around 70 started talking about overpopulation combined with environmental things (climate change, but no need for you all to scream about it here if you don't believe it, it's not the point) and how "we don't have institutions around the globe that are going to be prepared or capable of dealing with it,,," and I said "no... as any nation moves up on the technology/comfort/modernity/consumption ladder its birth rate decreases... when kids are almost certain to survive to adulthood and beyond, people naturally stop having a bunch of them... especially when they're not out farming or something and are in a city where a kid is not a 'production unit' for the family but a 'consumption unit,' at least for 18-21 years, maybe more..." He didn't like me hinting that his thinking was outdated early 70s stuff... not that I disagree with him about the second part, I just don't think the overpopulation/"Soylent Green" thing (and they're about to release a re-make of that one, which is dumb when everybody knows the twist) is what's going to unfold.

Yeah, I am afraid that White Replacement Theory is generally considered to be racist. Lol, what a joke of a poster. Sad!

You said white. You brought race into this.
I was pretty clearly talking about class: citizen vs illegal immigrant. There are people of all races in both classes. The average AMERICAN is being replaced, by people not from AMERICA.
Also love the nugget that you find SirWinston’s racism funny, some real white knight you are.
I hope you get deported

Let me ask you, DEI Tiger…
Is “______ group commits over 50% of the murders in the USA” a racist statement?

well, the answer is people with guns.
people with knives are second.
people with cars is a distant third.
the hammer contingent is lagging way behind.

Interesting observation that I've made.over the years Those who complain most about increase of non-white as percent of population have never made a white baby.

Are there still people who care about this War? Its all just a money heist in the end.

Ukraine asks US to lift ban on using American arms to strike at Russian territory
by Martin Fornusek May 15, 2024 9:47 AM
Ukrainian officials are trying to convince Washington to allow Kyiv to strike at Russian territory with U.S.-supplied weapons, saying the ban prevented them from attacking Russian troops amassing near Kharkiv Oblast, Politico reported on May 14.
Moscow's troops launched a new offensive into northeastern Kharkiv Oblast through the Russo-Ukrainian border on May 10, with 30,000 troops reportedly involved in the operation.
A group of Ukrainian parliamentarians is in Washington this week to mobilize support in the U.S. Congress, saying that the ban prevented them from hitting Russian military depots across the border, Politico wrote.
The U.S. has supplied Ukraine with long-range ATACMS missiles, which Ukraine reportedly used to strike Russian targets in occupied Crimea. Washington's restrictions do not allow to replicate such an attack inside Russia's own territory.
"The main problem right now is the White House policy to limit our capability" to strike military targets inside Russia, said David Arakhamia, the parliamentary leader of President Volodymyr Zelensky's party, the Servant of the People.
"We saw their military sitting one or two kilometers from the border inside Russia, and there was nothing we could do about that," Oleksandra Ustinova, the head of the Ukraine's parliamentary commission on arms and ammunition, told Politico in a separate interview.
"(T)hey (Russia) know there is a restriction for Ukrainians to shoot at the Russian territory. And we saw all of their military equipment sitting one or two kilometers from the border (near Kharkiv), and there was nothing we could do," Ustinova noted.
Two unnamed U.S. officials told Politico that Washington's policy on the issue has not changed.
"The assistance is for the defense and not for offensive operations in Russian territory," one of them told the news outlet.

ISW Update May 14th
quote:
Key Takeaways:
The pace of Russian offensive operations in northern Kharkiv Oblast appears to have slowed over the past 24 hours, and the pattern of Russian offensive activity in this area is consistent with ISW's assessment that Russian forces are prioritizing the creation of a "buffer zone" in the international border area over a deeper penetration of Kharkiv Oblast.
Russian President Vladimir Putin's candidate for Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belousov outlined his and Putin's intended priorities for the Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) during a speech to the Russian Federation Council on May 14.
Russian authorities detained Russian Deputy Defense Minister and Russian MoD Main Personnel Directorate Head Lieutenant General Yuri Kuznetsov on May 13 on charges of accepting large-scale bribes.
Putin appointed former Tula Oblast Governor Alexei Dyumin and former Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev as his presidential assistants on May 14, further re-balancing his ministerial cabinet for his fifth term.
The Georgian parliament passed Georgia's Russian-style "foreign agents" bill in its third and final reading on May 14, amid continued protests against the bill in Tbilisi.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken stated that the US is interested in a bilateral security agreement with Ukraine during a visit to Kyiv on May 14.
Likely Ukrainian actors conducted a strike against a Russian railway line in Volgograd Oblast on May 14.
Russian forces recently marginally advanced near Lyptsi, Vovchansk, Svatove, Chasiv Yar, Avdiivka, Donetsk City, and Krynky.
The Russian MoD is reportedly coercing Russian citizens and migrants into Russian military service through false job opportunities, likely as part of ongoing crypto-mobilization efforts.
Ukrainian officials continue efforts to return forcibly deported Ukrainian children to Ukrainian-controlled territory from Russia.

The Russians can reliably shoot down the ATACMS now.

Blinken: Washington has not encouraged Ukraine to strike inside Russia with US weapons, but decision up to Kyiv
by Chris York May 15, 2024 3:09 PM
Ukraine "has to make decisions for itself" when deciding how to use U.S.-supplied weapons that could strike targets inside Russian territory, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on May 15.
Speaking in Kyiv during a press conference, Blinken was asked about recent Ukrainian complaints that a Washington ban meant Ukraine was unable to attack Russian forces as they were building up before crossing the border into Kharkiv Oblast.
"We've not enabled or encouraged strikes outside of Ukraine, but ultimately, Ukraine has to make decisions for itself about how it's going to conduct this war," he said.
