You have been super annoying for a long time, often stupid, but this clearly takes the cake and blatantly exposes your stupidity and bias.



I would love for someone to make the argument that either side was doing much of anything offensively outside of the Ukraine counteroffensive once the lines were established. Certainly not for the past year and a half or so. The lines were essentially stagnant, they were flinging artillery shells and drones at each other. Any legitimate offensive was suicidal.

Once the supplies of those started dwindling, you now have Russia flinging men at the Ukrainian lines. That's kind of just a basic fact of the state of the war, and THAT is my comment you take issue with?

But with your sub-70 IQ you probably drooled all over your keyboard while typing this and broke it, so I won't expect a response.

Just like the Ghost of Kyiv and Bucha Fairytales. Nobody believes Coke head Zelensky and his fake Propaganda. We actually see Ukraine on Video kidnapping their own Citizens off the Streets and denying it. You think anyone is going to believe when they bomb a Russian school and blame it on Russia?

Seems like the milbloggers/analysts/whatever you want to call them I follow on X are complaining/commenting more on Trump than they are the war right now. Usually when they aren't talkative about the actual war its not great news for Ukraine.

I don’t know about that, but other than a few key refinery raids by Ukraine there hadn’t been a lot of positive news for Ukraine.

Russia has done better in small tactical moves, but they haven’t done anything “great” either.

The big thing is Trump and what will he do. That’s how I see it.

Here is another example of what your type supports. American tax dollars going for crap like this. Unbelievable!!!

The gig is up. These American funded leftist NGO's pushing their woke crap on people is counter productive. Millions have rejected it by saying we don't want those type values. Targeting a conservative Christian nation like Poland.


NARRATOR: "Reagan conservatives such as GOP_Tiger do not, in fact, support cultural leftism. In fact, they consistently oppose it."

I wonder how much actual pressure there is on him domestically for a resolution.

He can spin it as Putin holding everything up, and even if that weren't necessarily true it's certainly believable.

Of all the promises he made as a candidate I'm not sure this is one that people are going to really hold him to the fire over if he doesn't resolve it right away. And that's assuming he can resolve it at all.

We’re going back to the “I’m a lolberterian” post-GWB days


Maybe.

I think both pro and anti Trump people are highly discounting the possibility that all of this change might go very poorly, or be just what the country needs. Sometimes you need to shake things up, and sometimes shaking things up ends badly. Guess we will see.

I think its becoming clear that his strategy is to overwhelm the system and rely on the fact that the Democrats won't be able to avoid the bait. They will oppose everything, thereby weakening their attacks, whereas if he was going slowly, they would be able to focus their attacks on his efforts.

That combined with the Democrat's inability to abandon the issues that made them lose the election. He's kicking their arse.

It's a modern political strategy that the world hasn't witnessed before.

ETA: He's overwhelming the media as well...which is fun to watch.

An AIDS clinic in South Africa stopped receiving funding!!! Why cannot South Africa pay for it themselves, after all with all of the coal, diamonds, gold, platinum and other mining, there ought to be money available.

Yes, you are right.

Immigration, inflation and bringing help ti NC are way more important. If Trump attempts to resolve things and Putin snubs him then Trump can make Putin the scapegoat.

He is kicking their arse in a town square debate sense, but there are multiple potential bugaboos that can hurt him in the longer term.

Key Takeaways:

Russian forces conducted a large-scale series of drone and missile strikes against Ukraine on the night of January 31 to February 1.

A recent Russian drone strike on a Ukrainian naval drone suggests that Russian forces have developed a new method to offset Ukrainian capabilities in the Black Sea.

Ukrainian forces recently advanced near Toretsk, and Russian forces recently advanced near Chasiv Yar, Pokrovsk, and Kurakhove.

German welchers. They are addicted to and refuse to give up those socialist welfare programs.



The German population is so heavily senior citizens that they can't give up their socialist welfare programs because they're too old to work, but there's no young people in the country to pay taxes and the economy has no internal demand... when demand for exporting their products softened they got into trouble. This is why they were desperate for immigrants... but that hasn't worked out... so... Germany is essentially a fossil that will fade away in the coming decade.
