It’s also funny that Germanys head of Intelligence got caught in Kyiv as Russia invaded. He couldn’t fly out and had to drive back to Germany.

What does that say about their Intelligence arm?

Glad to see more of you wake up to the cold hard truth about what foreign aid really is

How the frick does this post have more downvotes than upvotes? A country $30 trillion in debt doesn't hemorrhage money to other countries unless there's something in it for some seriously powerful people.

UN is a joke. It has no teeth. I also find it funny that Russia is president of the Security Counsel this month.

I mean, you shouldn’t. China is looking to invade Taiwan and is carefully watching to see how this invasion will go. Plus they want to strong arm Russia slightly and not make it clear to them and the world that they are aligned at the hip. This is a game of Poker with the second draw, and China merely waved their hand to see the next card.

What I am shocked is that India refused to vote. I thought that they would have aligned with the US for sure knowing what was coming if Russia was allowed to get away with this. India loathes China and refused to be in the BRI, much to China’s fury.

Mariusz Blaszczak wrote on Twitter on Friday that "Poland supports and is in solidarity with the Ukrainian people," as he announced that a convoy with ammunition had reached that country.

Why do these politicians feel the need to run their mouths about stuff that is just free information for the Russians? Like, maybe don't say anything, let the Russians think that whatever region of Ukraine this ammo went to is running low on ammo, and let them advance into a newly resupplied ambush.

But they'd rather get their name in the headlines with some positive news. It just doesn't seem like smart policy to me.

So many people are so deeply plugged into the matrix they refuse to see things for what they truly are and gladly swallow whatever narrative they are sold by the media and government. What is the saying... people would rather believe a lie than admit they have been fooled?

I've always said... once you see the strings on the marionettes, you can never get back to a point where you can unsee them

I wish I could share more, but for now I can say it’s pretty obvious to many that something is off with #Putin

He has always been a killer, but his problem now is different & significant

It would be a mistake to assume this Putin would react the same way he would have 5 years ago

#Russia’s invaders are working their way towards the center of #Kyiv

They aren’t going to be very happy if when day breaks & they realize they have been cut off & are now trapped by thousands of pissed of #Ukranians

Marco Rubio is the one banging the drum for war.

The former Soviet Republic of Kazakhstan has denied a request from Russia to send troops into Ukraine, NBC News reported Friday. The country also said it will not recognize the breakaway republics from Ukraine in Luhansk and Donetsk that Russia recognized shortly before invading Ukraine. Russia is one of Kazakhstan's main trading partners and is a member of Russia-led economic and military blocs. The decision comes a month after Russia sent military peacekeepers to Kazakhstan after the country’s president asked for help in controlling protests that escalated into violence, including the seizure and setting afire of government buildings.

Did the CIA or pentagon anoint Rubio as their mouthpiece for leaking intel or something for this war?

There is no way Little Marco makes those tweets without pre-approval from the CIA, Pentagon or State Department

Because the Poles want the Russians to know who helped put some of them in the ground TBH

A) anything GN posts Is going to get downvotes
B) if you’re at sea in a $30MM yacht but you forgot the plugs at the ramp - would you pay me $6k to give you the plugs off my 15’ John boat so you don’t sink?

Im not saying I agree with B (and my math is probably off as well- it’s Friday) but the ratios and logic seem to be the relevant.

FWIW haven't seen any of that from Rubio, though it wouldn't surprise me

To date he's been only a cheerleader
