@aranos6269 Indeed. They are shameless. Wanna know how much the US Congress just approved for Ukraine (as if this will change the eventual outcome- which I doubt, it may give a little edge to a few battles but overall at this point I have every certainty that Russia will choose to wrap up this conflict in whichever way they choose. I don't know the raw numbers of Ukraine's forces but I'm sure Russia has them outnumbered, out-trained, out-organized, outplanned and better equipped. That is what I see. Plus they have right on their side. They're not trying to take over the country or commit its own coup, they're saving the besieged people of the eastern regions and striking against the violent neo-nazis that have taken over the govt and military, while defending it's border from known planned future aggressions by NATO. Sounds upstanding and reasonable to me)????
40 Billion, bringing the grand total so far to 57B. as to how much of this money is going to filter down and actually be felt or used on the ground and Ukraine, nobody knows. But like you said got to keep that river of blood money and war profits going to the weapons makers and anyone else who stands to profit from this deal.
Would be nice if our national Congress wasn't wholly owned and operated by Wall Street and the pentagon. We sure could use just a little bit of that money right here at home. On the streets of the US of A. Flint, Michigan still doesn't have clean water after 7 years. This is supposed to be a first world country- is it? Not everywhere it sure ain't. Homelessness at an all-time high. National healthcare?? Not even close. (Obamacare helps a little but it leaves too many households uncovered)
There are a lot of people here that need a lot of help. And there are some that don't- but of those who do, it is REALLY sad that most state governments and most certainly our federal Congress gives them the giant middle finger year after year.
I'm not against people making money or having a successful business (provided it's an ethical business). I AM against THIS level of poverty and THIS level of neglect in the richest country in the goddamned world. It's morally reprehensible, it's not necessary, and it's wrong.

I know the Pentagon is nothing but shit, by why shouldn't people get their own sovereign region if they choose?????
There is a real gross amount of statism and lord-worship on this channel. A REAL LOT. Yes I know just how immoral the Pentagon is BELIEVE ME. I live here, I know. I stopped drinking the kool-aid a long time ago. I know those sociopaths for who they are.
BUT, SAYING THIS PARTICULAR GROUP DOESN'T DESERVE THEIR OWN NATION SOUNDS LIKE BULLSHIT. I never support mindless violence or acts of terrorism, and whoever did those should be caught and arrested. But if millions of ethnic turkic Muslims (or what have you) want their own nation, why shouldn't they have it???? China is big, yes?!?? Pretty fucking huge? If there's been a legitimate movement for East Turkestan than why shouldn't it come to fruition??? Because the Sino lords on high wont like it???? Because they don't have enough territory right??? With land that's there times the size of the US or so?? Right.
I CAN'T GET BEHIND THIS STATISM WORSHIP. You guys can suck Winnie the Pooh's dick all by yourselves. I appreciate the info on most things covered here, bec the Pentagon really is a murderous, evil organization- but I support anyone's right to self-determination. ANYONE'S. Not sure why you act like these people (the ones who refute the terrorist violence) should just passively accept their current status.
I wouldn't, if I felt that strongly about it.
BORDERS CHANGE. THATS FUCKING LIFE. The only thing constant in life is change. You think the borders looked the same 200 years ago??? No ofc not and they won't look the same 200 years from now.
If they legitimately want this, China's gov should step aside and work with them on this to make a smooth and mutually beneficial transition.

Didn't know the Russian forces were so capable. No idea, at all!! Six years ago I still was buying the standard US MSM narrative of Syria. Now I believe a different narrative.
Well, it makes me sad to say but yet again MY govt has brought nothing but pain, death, and life-threatening disorder to a region, this time in Afghanistan. If this conflict on Ukraine can be resolved soon, and I think we all can be united in hoping that it does, and that Zelensky makes the right decision; Putin can go back into Afganistan and straight up save them by restoring order, ending the famine, and routing the Talibs once and for ALL. Without outside interference, I am deeply afraid conditions will only worsen there. Even tho this ongoing theater has dominated the news lately I still get occasional emails or notices about conditions there and it just breaks my heart.
I don't think he will, but if they could, that would be so beautiful, not to mention ironic. Thirty years after being driven out by outrageous and misguided US interference that boosted the WORST wackjob elements of the fringe fundamentalist fanatics, Russia returns to liberate its neighbor and partner AGAIN. History repeats itself. (Altho in the '80s the talipunks didn't have power yet, at least in the cities)
I mean, when you look at it, Putin is Afganistan's only hope right now. Between the savagery and cruelty of the US, esp in detaining it's 9B in funds, even though 20M Afghans DESPERATELY need that money to avert starvation; and the stone-age fanaticism of the Taliban, Afganistan has never been in more desperate need.
Putin has his hands full right now but honestly, ever since I saw the Talibs take over last year (and learned why that happened, it was WITH the full support and help of the US under the Trump administration, and I don't know why they did it, tho I have a theory), I've been racking my brain trying to see a way out of this for them. ONLY the strength of resolve of Russia's troops could liberate them now and reinstall a competent government and help them recover from what Biden is allowing to transpire there- nobody else is able or willing to at this point.
Man.......
If only.

But how many other 100s or 1000s of attacks have been accomplished far out of public view???? As if this show of faux contrition and crocodile tears is all that's needed after 10 people incl 7 children were killed on knowingly empty information. The fact that at least two people were willing to give the order and press the button on this drop based on such laughably bad information, is something I find extremely disturbing. And of course, nothing will be done to either individual or chain of command that enabled this process and carried it out like so many before it; and most of not all of those, I'm willing to wager, having been done so on similarly appallingly poor or flat out absent "intelligence".
Like land mines and chemical warfare, drones are immoral and evil. At least if indiscriminate targeting and utter disregard of non-combatant/civilian life is going to be the goal, and it has been for 20 years; then at least make a human being fly the planes that drop those bombs!!!! How much more evil can we get?! So this is what we've become??? Just fire all the servicemen and women then, since they are no longer needed anymore as the new policy is literally video game warfare towards places that have NO defense against it.
Anyhow, I'm a non-combat role US veteran and I'll NEVER fight or work for for this military empire again thru any military or civilian role. Why???? Are we saving the world???? Are we taking out the genuine bad guys??? That's what I used to believe but not anymore. I no longer can morally support in any way a military and "defense" machine that so willfully disregards the lives of civilians and ignores, either intentionally or unintentionally, the actual dangerous terrorists and threats.
I'm all for going after genuine bad actors and there are some of those, and I want to remove them, because somebody needs to; but not like this. This is amoral, and vile, and it's happened 1000 times before, and it's evil. I do not see a morally-acceptable use or role for drones in modern warfare- perhaps in incredibly limited scenarios but in general I want to see them banned. I believe it's been proven 100 times over why they should be. No more US-caused remote terror from the skies to innocent communities!!! I want this to end and I'm not the only one, many other US citizens stand with me, both in the veteran and non-vet civilian community.

It never ceases to amaze me how much Washington loves death. I really don't understand this. They don't want to make positive partnerships; they don't seem to have any capability for any moral thoughts; any type of positive or ethical value system or even fleeting positive goal. Everything has to be destructive and result in harm to innocent people, the poorer the better.
They just seem to want to position themselves in a place that will bring maximum death to as many non-combatants as possible the world over.
They really do have nothing positive to offer anyone. They seem to be enemies to life and most of the world.
It's too bad. I don't know why they're obsessed with violence so much or why they love death so much. As a citizen I'll be glad if and when they're ever gone. They always find ways to treat plenty of my fellow citizens with as much disregard to life and rights as they do their foreign targets. And to this day they are very proud that they have nothing but abuse and neglect for 99% of the American people. (Yes there is a smattering of a few support programs but a very few and the support they provide is very weak for most). There is still no legally-recognized right to healthcare in this country or even to have the ballot, let alone other things. 2025. Still no right. Incredible.
Apparently there was a vote at the UN a while back to recognize a right to food as an inherent human right of all people and the only country to vote against it was a representative from this country, the US. Maybe one or two others, I don't remember for sure.
So that's who they are. Plus they really love localized genocide.
Truly we are occupied by savages and demons. What a shame. The sooner a nuke takes out 1600 Pennsylvania Ave the better off the world will be. What they love is death and they find many ways to get there.
Unless someone thinks this is a good status quo, and I would hope most wouldn't, I wholeheartedly support the neutralization of DC as a worldwide threat. Let's hope by 2100 it's real.
I mean thanks to our savages, the Taliban took back over in Afghanistan thanks to a special deal brokered under the first Trump administration, crafted by Mike Pompeo and some random Taliban reps. How's that going for that region today? I'm sure the female half of the population is doing fabulous under these new arrangements. I presume that the price of this assistance was free access for any big multinational to any natural resource they might have found, specifically minerals. There were some rumors of this at the time. I'm sure it's true.
I mean it's stunning sometimes when I step back and just take a full look. I'm well aware of all the details of our domestic and international history. They really do have ZERO positive goals for anyone in the world, or the majority of I and my fellow citizens even. Just wild.
I'm sure I won't live to see it but I'll be glad when DC no longer matters. Unless one thinks the world is way too overpopulated, and some do, why support an empire based on so much death and violence?? These agendas aren't helping anyone.
The whole legacy of Washington is nothing but blood. I'm pretty sure the entire sane world is tired of it, I know I am.
