I truly don't understand why Chicken allows JB to spread his BS on his site. Actually, I do. It's all about the clicks. Who really cares if someone uses TD to help undermine America? Let's make a buck.

Trump’s national security adviser Mike Waltz expected to depart administration, sources say.
quote:

Waltz’s job has been in limbo after it was made clear to him earlier this week that his time leading the National Security Council had come to an end, according to a source familiar with the matter. Alex Wong, the deputy national security adviser, and other national security advisers are also expected to depart, per multiple sources familiar with conversations, though timing is unclear.

They toss some meat to the media to see if it's enough to get them off their backs. It won't be, Hegseth will be an open sore on Trump's arse for as long as he's still Sec. of Defense.

It's not the ones you fire that get you into trouble, it's the ones you don't fire.

Senator Lindsey Graham announces broad Senate support for new "bone-crushing" sanctions on Russia, with 72 colleagues backing a bill to impose tariffs up to 500% on nations buying Russian oil, gas, and key products, - Bloomberg

He has 72 Senators...? Wow.

With this move Graham is:

1.) Starting to reassert Congressional control over foreign policy;

2.) Giving Donnie more rope by forcing him to come out against this and get into a fight with 72 Senators.

But then again, Donnie doesn't have a choice. He will take the L but won't be making the decision to fight this...

I love how Ukraine has stood and fought the Russian army to a virtual standstill but there’s no chance either side ever breaks the other down. Crimea was always staging with Russia and Zelensky knows this and has always known it so it comes down to the 4 oblasts that Russia wants. I’d give them Luhansk as it seems that’s the part of Ukraine that has the most pro Russian population. Donetsk would be the big one to negotiate about but i’m telling Russia to get fricked with Kherson and Zaporizhzhia. Really the most likely outcome is the battle lines are frozen in place. This is one clusterfrick of a situation where the Russia. leader is too much of an idiot to just be given the many off-ramps that have been afforded to him to stop the fighting but he has to look tough to his people even though they are so dumb and gullable they would follow a potato in a suit. Then you have Ukraine holding out for a better deal when I just don’t see a much better one coming. Sending more weapons won’t move the lines all that much so diplomacy and compromise is the only way out.

You are correct it is clearly engagement.

The interesting thing to me is JB has averaged almost exactly 100 posts per day. 99.91 to be exact, with 12 more posts today it will be perfect. A cynic might suggest he is meeting a specific contractual quota.

Given many of his posts contain embedded media it is not unreasonable to say each post requires at least 2 minutes of his time to find, copy, paste, and add a tag line. That is close to 3.5 hours of work a day, conservatively. This assumes he is a human.

To put that in perspective, that is nearly twice Slowflowpro's output (or input as it were). That makes JB not just an outlier but an anomaly, especially when given how narrow his subject matter is.

Posting War Updates and War Information is not spreading BS. Just because you don't like the information doesn't mean it is BS. Why are you constantly crying about information you don't like? You do not see me asking for people to be banned when they post Fantasy Fiction ISW reports that is owned by Victoria Nuland's family who help orchestrate the War. Talk about bias If you can't handle information you don't like I suggest you leave like your friend GOP_TIGER before you have a mental breakdown like he did

Not only are you a liar but you are a retard

13,092 posts divided by 224 days equals 58.44, not "99.91 to be exact" You NAFO trolls literally lie about everything You really need to get some new material. "He is a bot" "He is not human" You NAFO trolls are so pathetic, all you do is lie and cry. No wonder Adam Kinzinger is your hero

Brent fell to $60. Urals now costs $46-49.

Break-even point for Russian oil companies is $60 Urals. The longer such a low price, the higher the probability of bankruptcy of Russian oil companies and Russia as a whole.

Lukoil's Q1 2025 RAS Report y/y

Profit: - 82% (RUB 16.3 billion)

Revenue: -12.2% (RUB 584 billion)

Profit fell by 5.5 times, all this was before Brent oil fell below $70.

I’m entertained by his shenanigans. If their team thinks this is where they are gonna manipulate American minds I’m happy for them to burn up their time doing it.

Better than political boards that are filled with tin foil hat wing nuts that may be manipulated easier.

No matter how must chaff you put out there, most Americans know Russia, Iran, North Korea and China are our enemies.

Right now there is no deal. There are proposals put forward by a mediator (the US).

Russia isn’t buying at all. They aren’t agreeing to anything and Ukraine is reluctant to agree any father unless Russia agrees to something. Why should they negotiate against themselves?

Mea culpa. You are correct, I was wrong I didn't carry the one... I should not have done it in math in my head.

One thing you did err on was I did not lie. I made a mistake, it is something we humans do from time to time.

I will say that had I mathed the maths correctly the just of my post would have been the same outside of the amount of time you are being paid for each day and I would not have used anomaly only pointed out you were an outlier in the extreme.

Incorrect. Your math was retarded but you also lied in your post. The below quote is just 1 example

Most of my posting is done on the political board about politics. I don't think I consistently started posting in this thread until December. I also post cool animal videos on the OT board because I like Animals. So narrow subject matter would be a lie. But according to your logic I must be being paid by Trump, Putin, and PETA

That Siberian Huskie doing you was funny. Was that you who stole the raccoon from the Kherson zoo?
