Comments by "Truth Ray" (@truthray2885) on "Jake Broe" channel.

  1. I HATE the fact that Zelensky still has to maintain this claim of "respect" for Trump. It's hideous.
    448
  2. Aleksandrovich Kopylov's mom and dad didn't give a DAMN about all the Ukrainians being slaughtered by Russian aggression, including soldiers, civilians, men, women and children, until their little bundle of joy got HIMSELF captured by Ukraine - the luckiest day of his recent life. In fact, it they want to preserve his life, they should urge Ukraine to keep him until this is over, however long it takes.
    435
  3. Trump CAN be BOTH an idiot AND a liar, and in fact he IS, and has been for 7 decades.
    403
  4. Zelensky must feel like the loneliest man in the world. I love that guy. He has been a tiger fighting for his country, as ardent as anyone on the front line. Doing his best.
    303
  5. Whew! That Estonian PM is a riveting, serious, eloquent, dignified, beautiful woman - WOW!
    291
  6. it always stirs my heart to hear the national anthem of Ukraine since this invasion began, never more so when a plenitude of nations other than Ukraine are playing it to honor visiting Ukrainian dignitaries. Slava Ukraina.
    276
  7. There is NO WAY that Solovyev, Simonyan, Dugin, Zakharova, that yapping little poodle Medvedev, and the other worst of the worst blabbermouths and doom sayers in the Kremlin should be allowed to survive this fight. NO WAY.
    261
  8. Jake, thanks for speaking the truth about the American political end of this travesty. You have it exactly right.
    243
  9. Solovyov - "One sixth of the world's land surface for 150 million people is simply not anough of a secure zone of influence for our minimally productive country." Ahhh, Russian genius.
    186
  10. That statue coming down, in its "down posture", looks like a REAL depiction of the Russian people. Heads buried in the dirt, completely oblivious to reality.
    177
  11. Those kids at the end are so beautiful. Having to go to school underground isn't, but I know Ukraine is doing its best.
    111
  12. Jake, did you see the opinion piece in the NYT today about "Ukraine's inevitable defeat"? It was infuriating, like a Russian propaganda piece. The NYT has one note, and this is it. It's contemptible.
    111
  13. President Zelensky's English is getting much better. His presence has always been impressive.
    109
  14. For the last 19 months, it has always moved me deeply when I hear Ukrainians break into song with their beautiful, melancholy national anthem, and this time with President Zelenskyy is particularly touching. Ukrainains have so much to be proud of about themselves and their nation, and to love about it. Slava Ukraina.
    88
  15. I have to say one of the things I like the most about your videos is the obvious respect and affection and empathy you show for the Ukrainian people and their great dignity generally, and under duress.
    51
  16. I love your inclusion of Tulsi Gabbard among the pro Assad forces. Also, "If Dexter was your opthalmologist." - perfect.
    41
  17. I think we already know he is, don't we?
    40
  18. My brother is married to a Mexican woman from Vera Cruz, and she is a prize. My neighbors are Mexicans from Monterrey, and I am 66 years old, and I can honestly say in my entire life, I have never had more wonderful, generous neighbors than they. I mean this lady shows up at my door spontaneously with Mexican breakfasts, lunches and dinners, and they are terrific!!! Such a sweetheart, and her husband is a caballero de verdad. In his 70s, with type 1 diabetes, off to work every day, dialysis 3 times a week, JESUS!!! "Feo, fuerte y formal."
    38
  19. Does anyone think that ridiculous Chechen oaf would himself refuse to surrender in a pinch? I don't think so. He'll find all manner of rationalizations for it then.
    38
  20. On the Florida gulf coast, those traitors include Anna Paulina Luna in Pinellas County, and Gus Bilirakis in Pasco County. Matt Gaetz in Escambia County too. And there are more crawling insects in Florida to be dealt with as well.
    36
  21. Kadyrov says it was a gift from Musk. If it was, that's got to be some kind of sanctions violation on Musk's part. Or maybe thousands of sanctions violations in one vehicle, given its tech. Somebody should look into that.
    36
  22. Orban is Putin's Giuliani - a figure of complete contempt.
    33
  23. See, if you euthanize your wounded comrade, then you can steal his stuff with less guilt, must be the thinking.
    29
  24. Ukraine would be MAD to give Putin a breather.
    28
  25. "Tasty, Period!!" Jake! Stop!! 😂😂😂
    26
  26. Trump instantly convinced himself that ovation was for himself.
    25
  27. Supposedly Putin is furious about Durov's arrest. That must mean it's a good thing.
    24
  28. I feel SO sorry that Zelenskey feels he must publicly suck up to Trump, who isn't one BILLIONTH the man and leader Zelenskey is, to try and save his country. It breaks my heart.
    22
  29. I love how cryptically President Zelensky is playing this. It's the perfect approach. Reveal nothing.
    22
  30. May Maduro meet Khaddafy and Ceaucescu very, very soon.
    19
  31. Not one of those idiotic RT propagandists speculating about wind direction should survive this war. Not one of them.
    18
  32. You're dong GREAT work, Jake! Much appreciated world wide, I know. I think you're in store for a "Ukrainian Heroes" medal, if you haven't gotten one already. And Maybe a US and NATO recognition - and one from the UN too, in the offing. You're doing that kind of service with your videos. Slava Ukarina.
    18
  33. Tim Pool's epiphany on Ukraine really reeks of sincerity. It is as sudden as Trump's several epiphanies within 46 hours on Florida's abortion Amendment 4.
    18
  34. Our SecTreas needs to be run out of office for daring to offend Ukraine with that first shitty deal. What a scandalous disappointment he is.
    18
  35. Ukraine has the largest, most seasoned, most potent military in Europe right now. It's a very bad idea to get crossways with Ukraine. They've proven it.
    17
  36. I'm old enough to remember when there was some thinking 10 or more years ago that Dmitry Medvedev possessed an atom of sanity. Boy, was THAT a wrong take!
    16
  37. Gerasimov, on Zoom - "OH, and we shot down 2000 of their F-16s!!!!"
    15
  38. Respectfully, Jake, even entering into a back and forth was a "victory" for him. He has no shame, obviously. Best to block from the first moment. His purposeses were never even discrete.
    13
  39. The culprits' busy writing and note-taking with pen on paper while the flaying is going on always strikes me as bitterly hilarious. "I couldn'nt possibly be less interested!!" Mm hmmm.
    12
  40. From the US, so long as the US withholds its assent for western weapons to be used against Russian territory, the US leaves Europe isolated in doing so, and engendering the further ire and aggression of Russia, and Europe knows this, and the US surely should. And I can't imagine Europe liking it. We are either "all for one and one for all" with other NATO countries, or we very conspicuously are not.
    12
  41. If Turkey can stop Military ships from transiting the Bosphorus, then why can't the free Baltic nations do the same with Russian ships deployed for a military purpose?
    11
  42. It's deeply saddening to think of all the many, many Ukrainian heroes who rushed to the battle in February of 2022, and 2014 too, and rushed to so many battles since then, and gave their lives for the freedom of their country. It's so tragic. What a legacy for those who carry on - a prod to their patriotism and consciences forever, I hope. And ours too, and all those in Europe too.
    10
  43.  @handsomeman-pm9vy  More likely on the same highway to Hell as Putin. History is so quirky that way.
    10
  44. In spite of the constant hatred "some" sow toward Mexico, I believe there is an extremely strong bond between the USA and Mexico, we both know it, and we just need to be more respectful of it. Creo que tenemos que valorar a nuestros vecinos mexicanos y centroamericanos.
    10
  45. Jake, I REALLY like the way you, as a fellow American, express your EXPLICIT thanks to Ukraine's European allies for the sacrifices and contributions they make to Ukraine's well-being. I think it means an awful lot. Slava Ukraina.
    9
  46. I hope Ukraine retains some "party favors" for Iran for when the time comes.
    9
  47. This is a GREAT video, Jake!
    9
  48. Jake's first concern was maintaining safety for the American people, and then tightrope walking past nuclear war. It's all well and good after the fact to say it was never going to happen, and maybe it wasn't, but no one has a crystal ball.
    8
  49.  @Duke_Romilar_III  SHADDAP.
    8
  50. Russia is no more than the dungeon of Dracula's castle anymore.
    7
  51.  @occamraiser  Your sense of nonsense has an obtuse edge.
    6
  52.  @JakeBroe  Fingers crossed!
    6
  53. I'm thinkin' the girlfriend of 18 years is the reason he signed the paperwork, and not in a good or "noble" way.
    6
  54. I LOVE Ukrainians' sense of humor! It's perfect, with perfect comic timing..
    6
  55.  @IRGeamer  Craig's all over that Russian agitprop.
    5
  56. Jake, you're doing great work here. GREAT work! Thank you!
    5
  57. "This potato-eating statue...."!!!! You are KILLING IT today, Jake!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
    5
  58. Staff Sgt. Black doesn't appear to have yet recovered from his long-ago double lobotomy. What a CATCH, Natasha!! Her complete embarrassment with him, and contempt for him, is evident.
    5
  59. It DOES seem unfair to sanction Khadyrov's female "correspondents" if we're not going to sanction his many male "correspondents" too.
    5
  60. Jake, can you elaborate on what the "Danish Model" for distribution to Ukraine of siezed Russian assets is?
    5
  61. Jake, what do you think about the incessant drum beat of fatalism about Russia's ultimate victory and Ukraine's supposed impending doom in the face of it. It's most of what I see from the NYT and the Wapo, and it seems pre-cooked to me, and I can't understand why that could be.
    5
  62. That Russian New Years debauchery reminded me of every WW2 movie I've ever seen where Nazi "aristocrats" were celebrating at doomed bacchanals even as their enemies were converging at the gate. And the clip of Zelensky on the Russian show in 2013, with a couple of now very familiar Russian faces in the audience including that delusional swine Solovyev the propagandist, makes me think that the present bitterness of Russians in their attitude toward Ukraine and Zelensky is that they can't handle the transition of Zelensky from being their "little jester" in 2013 to their undefeatable nemesis, righteous slayer and tormenter 9 years later. Good for Zelensky, and too bad for Russian bastards.
    4
  63.  @mikefallwell1301  It's good to know there are some. They're increasingly rare as hens teeth, thanks to the likes of Speaker (for barely another year) Mike Johnson, Sen. Lindsay Graham (an abject disgrace for decades now) and the GOP senate caucus and Freedom Caucus in the House. They are determined to keep Putin alive, and deliver Zelensky and Ukraine to him.
    4
  64. His fourth floor window is waiting in the West. We have them too.
    4
  65. Ukraine's vengeance against Russia is going to be terrible to behold, more terrible than anything we've seen to date, and it needs to be. No forgiveness, no peace until Russia is on its knees, and beheaded. Russia has dams and other large scale infrastructure too.
    4
  66. Man, that "purity balls" shytte IS creepy as hell.
    4
  67. These two planes sitting side by side. Why in the HELL are we sitting still for this bullshit AGAIN??? Like we did before and after 2016??
    4
  68. From Florida, Macron is absolutely correct. Unmistakably correct.
    4
  69.  @morstyrannis1951  Thanks. Seems like NATO's Baltic states need to get to work on one.
    4
  70. What's Pavel Gubarev's likely life expectancy after this video, folks? Anyone want to set up an office pool of the day Ukraine will char his ballsack - oh, and the rest of him too?
    3
  71. What in the world is with Scholtz and his endless Hamlet act?
    3
  72. i think in that last dancing and singing bit, their refrain was "Bayrakhtar", which makes it even better! Slava Ukraina
    3
  73. It makes me sick to my stomach to think we and the world favoring Ukraine must now contort ourselves into the most tortuous shapes to seduce this rabid orange infant into supporting Ukraine.
    3
  74. The "closing off of the Russian state" is such an obvious act of pathetic desperation. The very next stage is full blown North Korean style xenophobia, and let them have it. They never had a prayer, ever, of being civilized. And without interaction with the west, they are nothing but a cess pit of slavery to Putin and the Kremlin caste.
    3
  75. Jake, at 10:10, the picture on the right is of Matt Gaetz and Joel Greenberg to his left, our right. Greenberg, the former corrupt tax collector of Seminole County, is now in prison, convicted of many serious felonies including but not limited to fraud and, if I'm not mistaken, "consorting" with minor women. And do you see that shoulder and hand below it at the very right margin of the photograph with these TWO alleged (one's convicted) pedophiles? At an angle making it impossible to be Greenberg's? Why that's the right arm of none other than Florida governor Ron DeSantis, a big runnin' buddy of theirs back in the day. For reals. Google all three of them together in a "picture" and you'll find it. Sure as shootin'. Oh, and Gaetz's daddy is a multimillionaire Florida panhandle geezer and state legislator, planning a return to the state senate. Money can buy a lot of silence about the misdeeds of a failson. In theory.

  76. Simonyan's Russian sounds like my garbage disposal encountering a fork and some ice cubes. Do we have to be nice about the "noble Russian language" anymore? Honestly, it sounds like a throat disease. Klingon sounds more hospitable.
    3
  77. Right there with you. Same deal, same experience here. SICK of it, after so many decades.
    3
  78. Did Shoigu actually say "all SUBJECTS of the country"?! Wow!
    3
  79. Zelensky IS the savior of his people, and all Europe too, and I'm so thankful that old veteran so candidly said so, publicly.
    3
  80. I'm 65. I had a UFO experience - a fleeting one - when I was about 14. I also had my first and only "supernatural encounter" at about age 57 after a lifetime of liesurely disbelief in that sort of thing. I don't doubt that anymore either. As someone said, when you finally DO have an encounter like that, if you ever do, it turns everything you've ever known and believed about "existence" on its ear. And it does.
    3
  81. "Ukraine, it trains, but mainly down in Spain", Jake.
    3
  82. And it doesn't belong in NATO either. I'm surprised it's member.
    3
  83. Haven't heard much about that Iraq rushing troops to the Syrian border (Iranian adjacent militias?) in the last few days. What of that, I wonder?
    3
  84. So apparently Coca Cola is still available in Mordor, per the case on that drone bus. THAT ain't right.
    3
  85. Russia will never be forgiven by the world for their bottomless stupid savagery - not for a thousand generations.
    3
  86. When did Donald Incel Trump jr. become a geopolitical expert? Out there sitting on the stump in a plaid shirt?
    3
  87. Do Putin relatives get defenestrated too?
    3
  88. Jake, that meme of "Is this destroyed Patriot system in the room with us right now, Mr. Putler?" is H U H - L A R I O U S!!!!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣
    3
  89. Wha I wonder is why.......whomever........stopped with Dugin's insufferable daughter. He's no more sufferable than she was. He's outlived HIS expiration date by YEARS.
    2
  90. I live in this insufferable monster Anna Paulina Luna's benighted district, a beautiful place until she drew out all the disgusting venom in it. She will last two years, ending in November. And then she will be gone, and thank God for that. She was working in a strip club ten years ago, seriously. She is truly vile. She crawls at Trump's and Putin's zippers. She is an absolute moron.
    2
  91. This idiot Johnson is completely incompetent. An incompetent liar. Absolutely contemptible.
    2
  92. And under those partial occupations in Transnistria and Georgia, under NATO countries can't join while there is an ongoing territorial dispute within their borders is my rough understanding. So Putin knows he can queer the prospects for countries like Moldova and Georgia getting in just be keeping a Russian foothold and illegitimate claim to territory in the mix.
    2
  93. That governor of Tver and his "assurances" reminds me of Ron DeSantis.
    2
  94. At 4:48 or so, you mentioned "when Robert F. Kennedy got elected president", he hired McNamara. I know why - you had Robert McNamara on the brain, and Robert F. Kennedy' Jr.'s in the news. Fingers crossed Robert F. Kennedy jr. never gets elected president. The worm maybe, but not him.
    2
  95. Somebody should tell that Saudi Sha Na Na Bowser lookin' mofo in the head dress to go ahead and yank KSA's dough from the west, and see how investing it in a Volgograd sewage treatment plant works for them. Remind me, which of Russia's, China's and N. Korea's economies is topping the charts?
    2
  96. I've gotta say I HATE the fact that this raging orange lunatic's lie-filled ads come right up in the middle of your videos, Jake. It's maddening.
    2
  97. It seems to me that right now and long since, Turkey needs to be making it clear to the world that Turkey has Georgia's back in the face of any Russian aggression and subversion. Because plainly that subversion and aggression is already happening there. Turkey shares a border with southern Georgia. Does Turkey want Georgia to be a Russian vassal again?
    2
  98. Madure scorning Fascism is as ridiculous as Putin scorning Fascism is ridiculous as Trump scorning Fascism. They are ALL FASCISTS. THIS is the Orwellian state of "Newspeak" we now face as we try to preserve our freedom.
    2
  99. LOL, Trump doesnt know what "rare earth" is, any more than he knows what's in all those many leather bound Executive Orders he's been signing. What an IDIOT.
    2
  100. Doesn't Zelensky know Trump claims credit for ALL deals, whenever reached, that he in his infinite wisdom thinks are "good"?
    2
  101. From Florida, Rubio is a very dishonest character. Very. And he will cave to Trump on everything.
    2
  102. I think you're celebrating Trump a little early.
    2
  103. Moms looks like she's reading from the Moscow phone book. No, make that the 1972 New York City phone book.
    2
  104. Nobody wants to here a ten cent local third-rate mobster wax knowledgeable about foreign affairs and geopolitics. Now if he crapped himself, that'd be worth paying attention.
    2
  105. Can this cockroach Putin really sincerely believe that the whole world isn't on to his propaganda game now?
    2
  106. Uncle Vova doesn't seem to imagine that his Chinese pals are able to view western news and know that Vova shells civilians too, gleefully, and launches cruise missiles at them, at shops, restaurants, hospitals and schools. I wonder if they chafe at all at the brazen hypocrisy and deceit of their newly adopted Russian baby. The Chinese think they're so civilized. Xi does, obviously. What must he think of this, in his guts?
    2
  107. Russian General Blatherbulschznitsky thinks we're swallowing the same bullshit they're selling to their gremlin in the Kremlin. We aren't, General War Criminal.
    2
  108. I think he's dead, and he's dead in that zoom call. His eyes are shut. This is a country that's kept Lenin's stiff intact for a century. This is a walk in the park for them. He looks like he's against a pillow, either sitting up or laying down, could be either. And his eyes look shut. Did he move at all during the "appearance" via zoom? If not, I'm calling him a stiff.
    2
  109. FAMILY FARMERS SHOULD KNOW AND FEEL WHAT THEIR IDIOCY HATH WROUGHT FOR THE REST OF THE USA. LET 'EM TWIST. NO EXCEPTIONS, UNLESS ALL TARIFFS ARE ABANDONED.
    2
  110. Those temperature stories. When will Russians figure out that their tormentors in the Kremlin only "love them" the way that vampires love their blood-filled human "wine skins"? Kremlin leaders and propagandists have only the lowest sneering contempt for the Russian masses, much like the occupants of the GOP House and Senate caucus rooms in DC feel about THEIR voters.
    2
  111. I love that Japanese fellow!
    2
  112. Putin has lost his mind. Some time ago, apparently. At least by February 24, 2022.
    2
  113. Aren't those tank mines they're schwingin' at the end? Now THAT'S funny!
    2
  114. Now Musk makes US struggle with HIS Asperger's. He's unbearable.
    2
  115. MAN, that last clip made me smile! SLAVA UKRAINI !!
    2
  116. Does anyone think Viktor Orban has our back? I don't even know why he bothers to show up to NATO gatherings.
    2
  117. It looks like David Sacks, a South African, Elon Musk, a South African, and David Thiel, a German Nazi in spirit, were all PayPal founders. How in the world do we continue to tolerate these three alien pricks, these clear and present dangers to the USA?
    2
  118. That layered missile attack on the drydock really is a shimmering diamond of brilliant strategy by Ukraine. Slava Ukrainia.
    2
  119. Do you think Turkey's border with Georgia is why Russia stopped its aggression in Georgia with capturing Ossetia? Do you think that shared border could mean that Turkey can intimidate Russia into staying the hell out of Georgia now? Mightn't Georgia's government's spine be stiffened by Turkey across that border?
    2
  120. I hope the states menaced by this idiot threw their Chinese ambassadors and all embassy staff out instantly. The Chinese are plainly lying to the world about their intentions on this issue. Let's not forget Xi's muttered assurance to Putin that "Things will be very different soon."
    2
  121. Maybe the scales will begin to fall from Serbs' eyes about the delusion that Russians regard them as "equals" and "Slav brothers" now? After all, Russians said the same thing about Ukrainians for a century, even while killing and starving millions of them. Hopefully Russia has finally killed dead any notions of "Pan Slavic Unity." Are ANY Slavs capable of actually waking up and smelling the coffee, beyond the borders of Ukraine?
    2
  122. Nice subway station. Be a shame if something happened to it.
    2
  123. Pretty sure I heard that Russian at the beginning trying to pass those bodies off as "Hohols" or Ukrainians. But those were Russians, and maybe more than one battle's worth. I wonder how many died of mortal splinter wounds. It's easy to imagine many did.
    2
  124.  @56Jagman  Hilarious nitwittery. BTW, have YOU signed up for the Ukrainian Eastern Front yet? Time's a wasting, tough guy.
    2
  125. Russia can not be allowed to recoup. It has to be bludgeoned into permanent ineffectuality. It truly is a soulless country. Individuals within it - a few, have merit and are exceptions, but it is a tiny, tiny number.
    2
  126. 44% of Ukrainians having faith in Trump is absolute folly. Pure madness.
    2
  127. Major Khodak has the look on him of the WW2 tough guy heroes of old. Strictly business, and a man of few words. That's encouraging. The absolute opposite of former tanker (for 4 yrs if that) Mike Pompeo.
    2
  128. Macron is never going to sit still for Trump's bullshit.
    2
  129. Is this white haired Russian freak fencing with Olga implying, or saying outright, that Russia will mount new aggression against the new Syrian regime if it doesn't let them stay in their staging areas for the vast genocide of Syrian people that's been going on for a decade or more? Is he - are they - that deranged? The arrogance of Russians - it burns.
    2
  130. Trump is a screeching, ridiculous infant, and all Mexico and Canada had to do was shake the car keys in his face to shut him up.
    2
  131. There's nothing wrong with Jackson Twinkle that a Ukrainian Black Ops squad couldn't fix, to both Ukraine's and our own enormous edification.
    2
  132. Toad poison, really. These people are complete barbarians, as if we didn't already know that.
    2
  133. Hey, Jake, that train video is "Russki Smear", man!!
    2
  134. Ukraine should be given a mountain RANGE of napalm now. Not tomorrow. Now.
    2
  135. So what this has been all along is Russia, the homicidal schizophrenic cousin, bursting out of his "Disappointments Room" cell in the global attic, and massacring as many family members as it can before it gets shoved back into the attic, or dragged off to the State Hospital For The Criminally Insane. The transvestite in the blue suit makes it clear that, in their delusions after 30 years of Ukrainian freedom and sovereignty, Ukraine is still in the minds of the old generations in Russia as a wholly owned vassal state, have spurred this terrorist genocide against Ukraine out of some sick, "sentimental" mythology tripe absolutely no one buys, including any significant number of Russians under age 40.
    2
  136. "Russia is Salesman of the Year" for NATO expansion!! You're KILLIN' it tonight, Jake!! 😂😂😂😂
    2
  137. That last part about the lurid parties in the capitols of Russia comes across as the last, sordid days of the Third Reich, or the fall of Saigon in "The Deer Hunter."
    2
  138. Baldy disputing the status of 74 settlements to the camera - I realize that translation can suffer, but for god's sake, do ALL Russian talk in circles constantly and make zero sense? I mean, it's like they're TRYING to talk officious balderdash and nonsense!
    2
  139. Didn't our military provide Ukraine with assistance from 2014 and since, all through Trump's abortion of an administration? And didn't we sign security guarantees for Ukraine, with Russia's signature too, 34 years ago or so, in order to get Ukraine to surrender its nuclear weapons? Didn't that security agreement obtain all through Trump's administration? It sure was intended to. If Trump didn't act in conformity with our obligations to that agreement after January 2017, then it looks like TRUMP "got us into" this war.
    2
  140. 18 year old men and women too. That's what the Russians did when attacked by the Germans, if I recall correctly. If you want to win, you dig deep.
    2
  141. Pre war, Russia occupied 1/6 of the earth's land mass. It has half the population of the USA (less). It claims it must have it's "sphere of influence." Yet most of Russia is vastly underdeveloped. Is there a single indoor toilet east of Moscow? It's got a 10th century extraction economy, which explains why apart from extraction, it doesn't really build anything of merit or even note anymore. And so, wrecking Marinka, it claims a.....victory? Another wreckage strewn and unpopulated goat pasture? You'd think they'd see the only advantage in territorial gain to be the population and industry gain that might come with it, but no - it CLAIMS the ruined land is...enough? These are the aims of some tenth rate and brain shot 19th century "Mordor" war lord. It seems to only be about the killing to them, and nothing else. Theirs is the small town criminal bar room drunken brawler's conception of a "win." This is a humiliation to any sane power. But as Putin has himself insisted, we don't "get" Russians, because Russians "are different." They do sure seem to be. In a way that demands complete and permanent neutralization.

  155. Neither Trump nor ANYONE in his utterly meritless, morally bankrupt and incompetent administration including the Dept of State even comes CLOSE to BEGINNING to know how to assess and craft viable security guarantees for Ukraine in the event of a minerals deal. This only came up in the first place because weasel Trump got word Ukraine had vast mineral reserves. It would be HILARIOUS if that was a Ukrainian con to cement Trump's interest in Ukraine's fate by any means necessary.

Hey youtube, when you ban videos showing explosions and death dealt by Russia, you help Russia hide its crimes, and advance its propaganda. No one should have to tell you that.

  166. All main line US media and moderators in these debates for THREE CYCLES now do is fail, and fail, and fail, and fail, and fail. How can it POSSIBLY BE that they just can't figure out how to deal with Trump - which is to BRUTALIZE him, TO HIS FACE, and show him NO RESPECT, and cut him NO SLACK.

It's just damned delicious. BOTH are doomed.

  175. I'm an NYT subscriber, for the moment and since years ago, and I have to ask why in the world the NYT is diligently perpetuating this story of present Russian domination and inevitable Russian victory. It appears to me that Ukraine has all but demolished vaunted and apparently mythical Russian "military might."
    2
  176. Isn't it entirely likely that Ukraine, apparently always the tech brain center of the Soviet Union, is capable of making its own missiles that can go 1000 km into Russia, and even farther. That they can build their own ballistic missiles with great range?

  177. I'd say Blinken's statement is exactly how American diplomats say "You may fire when ready, Gridley!", or, in this case, Zelensky.

  187. That last bit there of little kids singing a song of vengeance and vindication is the kind of thing that should send real chills up and down the spines and guts of Russian vampires, because those kids will bring the stakes and mallets to the depths where Russians dwell, and avenge Ukraine's dead.

  190. As soon as that bipartisan coalition forms in the House, they'll be able to approve further aid to Ukraine, but the first order of business should be to eject the at least 20 MAGA lunatix sowing chaos including Jordan, Gaetz, Luna, Boebert, Taylor Green, Good, Perry, and the other well known offenders and insurrectionists. Then they can work in true bipartisan fashion WITH the Democrats to move this country forward without the interference of slack-jaws and garbage eaters.

Russia is profoundly weakened, thanks to Ukraine, and Belarus may never have as good a chance to claim its freedom in cooperation with Ukraine again.

  205. Russia declared war on a nation with a long, long and very porous border with it, people who speak its language in the main, and now obviously, people willing to kill Russian orcs with absolute enthusiasm and alacrity. It HAS to be the case that there are Russian speaking and Russian surnamed Ukrainian sappers and guerillas POURING, P-O-U-R-I-N-G into Russia presently, and since February at least, and that they will continue to do so. This war was the height of stupidity on Russia's part. Now let them pay the price. ALL of them, ALL civil and military authority, and ALL of these absolute vampires atop Russian propaganda media. I'd love to read about Solovyev's head found in a ditch very soon, and Sakharova's and that RT harpy's too. That'd quiet them down a bit, I'd think.

Jake, no offense, but that lower video is not of the Ukrainian's "match point win", but rather of another occasion, an earlier win against a Russian at the World Cup, when she was suspended for what she did in the match, at the end, shown here. She held the Russian she'd just defeated away from her with the point of her foil. It THRILLED me. I got a little choked up! She stood there with an "I dare you to approach me. I DARE YOU!!!!" look. She had a perfect, righteous hauteur to her pose, before turning and walking away. That scene should be a statue in Kiev's main square immediately. Hey, maybe you could raise money for THAT!

  211. That protest of Russians, faces shown and holding signs in public demanding the officials' sons replace their own men at the front - THAT is the "iskra" - the spark of revolution in Russia, I'm betting on it. THAT, amid all of this, encourages me that Russia is on the path to its own doom.

  213. If you don't mind, I think Biden's answer was the perfect answer, especially with a faltering voice under the whirring blades of his helicopter. It wasn't the time for lengthy answers, threats or treacle. It was short and to the point. I've asked questions and helped craft answers for a living for four decades. Biden made it clear he's communicated with Ukraine about the issue, and that there are agreed upon parameters. Unsurprisngly, he knows Ukraine wants to take steps that the US does not agree with, and he made that clear too. He said all that needed to be said. Any more would have devolved into a more lengthy blatherfest in front of cameras, with a greater potential for misunderstanding between we two allies. Ukraine may not like where we are, but it's where we are for all the well-understood reasons. Less IS more. Brevity IS the soul of wit, and wit is wit, and not merely a "sense of humor." Biden "Keeps his wits about himself."

He's just one more uniform exploited by Trump and MAGA GOP, made a fool of, worn as a mask of "seriousness" by the most impossibly UNSERIOUS Americans in history, debased and debauched by them just like Gen. Colin Powell was by Dubya and HIS contemptible gang.

  227. On the bombing of Russian nuke storage sites, knowing what you know about how such are stored, Jake, is there no way that attacking them could "scramble" them physically, mechanically, storage-wise, without risk of detonating them? Make them long term unusable without detonating the nukes in a mass radiation way? Eg, collapsing the presumably concrete roof of a storage bunker onto the warheads or missiles without releasing radiation? Not saying it would be smart to try, but is it possible?

  229. Jake, on Ukraine, please call out Florida representatives Matt Gaetz and Anna Paulina Luna early and often on their contemptible pro-Putin hideousness on the question of Ukraine aid. Gaetz represents Florida's 1st Congressional District, which includes about 3 US military bases, and has many retirees - and they can't think their ways through this? It's disgusting. They, and other GOP FL Reps, are Putin's leprous, bloody, genocidal hand in our US congress. Please nail them to the wall. We should point out that if retreat from Ukraine means a Russia v NATO war within ten years, young American men and women will be fighting and dying in it and it will last for years. Those American kids are now 2, 3, 5, or 10 years old, and maybe even unborn. ALL Americans should look at their young kids, their plans for kids, and their little grandkids today, and try to think ahead about what they're consigning those kids to in the future with their present monstrous foolishness.

  231. To me, watching Trump on camera these days is like watching Reagan in his second term. Reagan was infinitely more likeable, if you didn't know what his administration was up to. But both seem to be completely out of touch with reality. Reagan was daffy, but nowhere near as awful as Trump. Trump is maliciously deranged now. Plainly, there is NO ONE near him now telling him the truth.

  233. This piracy and the rest are happening because Russia hasn't had legitimate "government" by professional governors for decades. It is 100% a mob swine pit, and anyone doing business there knows it and pays for protection, from the lowest to the swankiest in the "Moscow Int'l Business Center." That arrangment has no prayer of lasting forever, and so when it begins to collapse, the collapse comes quick, and looks like this - pretty much everything in this video, all incompetence and lawlessness-based. And yes, it looks ugly and pathetic. Bush league.

  238. Jake, for nearly thirty years I'd heard that the reason Israel threw the doors open to Russian Jewish immigrants was because it knew its demographic time bomb was ticking regarding keeping the state's Jewish identity because of its explosive Arab Israeli birth rate, and sought to recalibrate the numbers on that by bringing in typically utterly secular Russian Jews. Anything to that?

Jake, ponder the fact of that Russian mother hugging the Ukrainian soldiers who brought her a box of food, and consider the absolutely heart rending horror and bitter heartbreak of a mother of one of the Russians killed in a meatwave attack in the Donbas and along the "Azov Line" because of the aggression caused by Putin - if she could see this picture. I mean, its a shot in the dark whether they'd care or not, but if rationally they realized who their sons had died to kill, and how much better their sons' targets and victims were as human beings than their own sons, and how only Putin's moronic folly had ripped their old age support systems away from them and sent them to their deaths, you have to believe that if the whole community of survivors could be made conscious of that terrible irony, Putin wouldn't last much longer at all.

  250. By the way, one day in his thirties, while in the state legislature I think, Gaetz was found to have taken into his schwinging batchelor pad a little hispanic boy of unclear origins, probably Cuban, about ten years old, named "Nestor." That kid lived there with Gaetz for about a decade, without ever going through any kind of adoption process with all the "fitness / background checking and analysis" the state adoption process and laws require - ever. Then Nestor turned 18 and went off to university. And Nestor or the idea even of Gaetz having a "son" ever showed up on his official political biographies anywhere. No, it didn't come out until during the Trump administration, when on the floor of the House Gaetz got into a pissing match with LA Rep. Cedric Richmond, and spilled that he "knew what it was like to raise a son of color." Many jaws dropped, but still, no one has ever asked the right and obvious questions about that arrangement.

When the next wave of Mobiks turns their guns on their own officers, rallies behind an enlisted leader, and heads toward the Kremlin, THEN we'll know they're finally coming to their senses. They shouldn't leave a single soul alive at the Kremlin when they get there. And then there'll be more reaping to do at the top of Russian media and "politics." - Combined, the "Vampires' Cabal."

  254. Once long ago, someone told J.D. Vance he was an "intellectual." Yale accepted him from some Sticksville pigsty because they love to proclaim their successful reclamation projects. Then his book came out and others told him the same thing. He was lied to. He's not an intellectual. He's just a garden variety stuffed shirt simp for a 4' tall genocider and lunatic in Moscow who cites the alleged events of 800 years ago as "authority" for his current mass crimes. And THAT scenario has convinced Vance to cooperate with him. Because that is exactly the kind of corrupted mind and low character that animates this educated scoundrel running panicked and headlong from his undistinguished past and upbringing. Fascism can give him unquestionable power - he thinks. His is a real "Douchebag Elegy."

I wonder if, in 1989, Russians ever imagined that this cess pit of hatefulness, corruption, massacre, genocide, deceit, arrogance, torture, delusion, aggression and retrograde barbarism and indifference TO it would be their country in 2024. Personally, I think it was predictable. I have read SO many novels and histories over the years that depict Russia's complete contempt for human dignity, it had to happen. Russia's leaders have preferred it be a Vampires' plantation breeding meat sacks for consumption only for hundreds of years. There has NEVER been justice in Russia. Ever.

So stop whining and posing like Kabul was something uniquely tied to the alleged "incompetence" of Joe Biden.

  266. Putin himself has, with menace, long warned the free world that "Russians are not like you", and we believe him. That is why NATO was and remains essential. Russians in Russia and too often among the rest of us are the closest thing to VAMPIRES in real life. It's not that there are NO good ones. It's just that there are SO FEW of them.

  268. So it's easy to wave the bloody shirt around as the new guy coming in, with four years to muck about, but talking about "foisting" the consequences of the new sanctions on the Trump administration, only a few weeks ago you and others were hailing this and like actions as a great strategy to give Trump territory to concede in any coming negotiations. Now, it was a bad strategy? For the last four years, Biden, who lived at least half of his life on the Cold War precipice of hot war, had to anticipate what Russia might do in the two years or so before NATO had gathered its senses and resources again to approach a war posture only several years after the first Trump term had blown its unity to smithereens, and now Trump is the conquering hero? Are you kidding? Hastier action could have led to all out war with our and NATO's pants down, mired in the "Trump Effect." Caution was appropriate. NATO is today a thing that NATO was not after Trump had run it through the woodchipper. Trump was NOT the architect of its present capabilities. Biden is.

  269. I get choked up every time I see those cemetary scenes, and Zelensky's serious stoicism in those ceremonies. He was and is the perfect man for this historical moment and Ukraine. I think its why Putin hates him so - because 15 years ago, Zelensky was the comedy act at a Kremlin holiday party. I've seen the video of that affair, and all the familiar faces. Putin was riding high then, and now, in his disgusting guts, he knows he can never be the man his former jester is. And it drives him wild with fury.

  285. So there's no mistake, those idiots drawling and braying their admiration and approval of Putin would happily do the same thing to those who oppose them within this nation that Putin is intent on doing to Ukraine and NATO beyond it, including this country. They are truly Putin's Fifth Column in this country. It's who they are, its what they are, its how they think. Do you think mass killing of their enemies is "too far" to go for them? Oh, you are so, SO sadly mistaken. Those people don't have an ATOM of anything worth the name "patriotism" for the USA in their souls. They would sell it ALL to Putin in exchange for a big screen 5G TV and the sight of the burned bodies of their enemies lying shattered in the street outside their trailers. That's where we are, America. Don't kid yourselves. Do you think THEY think they don't really have it so bad, and so couldn't be motivated to participate in that, really? Germany was at its cultural pinnacle in the Weimar era, during the ascent of Hitler and Nazism. They were the most literate, cultured, philosophically attuned society in Europe. And they fell for Hitler in the wink of an eye.

  286. Every day, the NYT and the WaPo talk about those 32 kilometers toward Pokrovsk in 3 years as if it's an absolutely indomitable blitzkrieg and failure of Ukraine akin to Britain's Dunkirk.

  293. Jake, remember how the W Bush administration used, abused and betrayed Gen. Colin Powell to start the Iraq War? You should expect the Trump administration to use, abuse and betray Gen. Kellogg in the same fashion. Suck him dry of credibility and then toss him aside. Steal his pension if he objects or blows the whistle. These are the obvious implications of Trump's loathesome nature. We know Trump has nothing but sneering, jealous contempt for generals. Kellogg won't escape "the treatment." Why would anyone think he would? And now that his role has already been vastly narrowed by his own account, why the hell stay around to take the hit to his reputation for nothing?

And with Russia's economy sucking so bad, where is the promise of bon bons of money for Trump in the relationship - why build a hotel or ten in a country that has demolished its own standing into a global pariah? Where foreigners with money know that they come in at their own grave risk? If Trump listens to ANY money people with sense, why would he do that?

  301. This is the "Pan Slavic Brotherhood" Putin has been touting for more than 20 years.

Which, of course, completely puts the lie to any notion of the legitimacy of his Pan Slavic Brotherhood.

  315. Jake, thank you for calling Mike Johnson exactly what he is - a lying hypocrite. His party imagines him to be quite the suave communicator, melting dissent away every time he opens his "eloquent" mouth. They're wrong. He's nothing of the kind. They only think he is because they have become what former LA GOP Gov. Bobby Jindal said they were becoming a decade ago. His own party. "The party of stupid." That's what he said. He was right. Mike Johnson proves the old adage, "In the land of the blind, the one eyed man is king."

He also said some years back that the Right will abandon the constitution before they abandon power, or words to that effect. He's right about that, and we've seen it. Jake, we're in a situation that reminds me of Stephen King's "The Stand." The rotters flock to "The Dark Man", while the good flock to "Mother Abigail", and society splits quite clearly. That's where we are.

  324. "Justice as I define it." Russia has NEVER had a recognizable concept of justice in play, not for the last century, and not for hundreds of years before it. Russian justice is a joke. Both Putin's and Prygozhyn's conceptions of justice are a joke. Justice requires due process, and they scorn due process. It isn't "manly" enough for them. Sledgehammers pounded onto skulls are "manly" to them. They are an infantile people.

Jackson Hinkle, so mentally unsound and desperate for undeserved attention he'd do anything to seize it, and has done anything, including demolish his own reputation among thinking, sensible, patriotic people.

  327. Joe Biden is not "the Biden administration." Joe Biden is the leader of hundreds and hundreds of younger, experienced, talented and patriotic people in government who, together with the president, constitute the Biden administration. They were recruited and attracted to serve in his administration because they see what's admirable about Biden, and all of us should too. Trump attracts only future felons and momentarily careless people who come to despise him and hate themselves for having aided and abetted his crimes. It's way overboard "Chicken Little" to get too agitated about how he did last night. In fact, all day today in NC and NY, he was clear, energetic, and did fine.

  339. Can it really be that these Russian lunatics don't realize how infantile and imbecilic they sound? They don't even sound like grown ups! This is what you get from occupiers of a territory that hasn't been a legitimate polity / state for the last century, but rather is just a filthy criminal mob. It's not a meritocracy, and so trash like this rise to the top, because truth and quality and dignity aren't even on the radar for these people. It's John Gotti's "Ravenite Social Club", from the Baltic Sea to the Pacific ocean. A pig sty.

Pathetic.

  350. Just a side note, it's interesting that Volgograd is the former "Stalingrad" of WW2, where the epic battle was fought at terrible sacrifice, and the Kursk oblast was the scene of horrific tank battles in that war too. I expect Ukrainians know the terrain as well as Russians do.
    1
  351. Medvedev, Putin's and Xi's interest in the "development and prosperity of all humanity" is on vivid display in Ukraine from its eastern provinces to its west, and in Kursk oblast too. It's no concidence that Medvedev and Putin lie as floridly and in as Orwellian a fashion as Trump, GOP and MAGA. They are the same species.

  356. Wait, so according to Tiny there, everything happening is because of Ukrainian attacks on the Crimean bridge and the Kursk power station? Even the invasion that began on Feb. 24, 2022 and the earlier one that began in 2014 are because of Ukrainian actions that only happened within the last....two months? Wow! Those vampires in the Kremlin are some real "mystical thinkers." They'd get "Fs" in a 1L Torts class, on the subject of cause and proximate cause, and intervening, superceding cause too. And all these BS "arguments" about who started what without a scintilla of irony or embarrassment - obviously tipsy and with a glass of booze in his hand on camera. Russia is a nation in the grip of deep psychopathology. Putin has already checked out of humanity and sanity. He's a "Cocaine Bear" now, and should be treated as such.

That last bit of Ukrainians singing in the subway reminds me of what they and Russians too must have done during the days of the Nazi onslaught, but now it's the Russian Fascist Nazi swine oppressing Ukrainians. They need to give the Russians a beating from the east to the west, the north to the south of Russia, that will leave Russians trembling in incontinent terror for a thousand years. They need to leave Russia in a prostrated state so dire that Russian will never dare again to aggress against any other nation, and certainly not Ukraine.

  381. Maybe Ukraine can screw one Ukrainian manufactured screw into each one of the controversial weapons it needs to use that comes from the West, and thereby declare it a "Ukrainian armament." How can China, Iran and North Korea pump weapons, even shitty ones, into Russia, and Russia barrage Ukraine with them in turn, and that restriction hold up to Ukraine's disadvantage? Applying Russia's "logic", shouldn't Iran and N. Korea be in the West's gunsights and Ukraine's too at this point? That concern isn't slowing any of them and Russia down. It's nuts.

Ukraine could do that with Western weapons. "We made 'dis!!!"

  387. In that Twitter thread, as I read it, some of these drama queens are losing their minds. Jay in Kiev and the idiot that called Biden a "genocide enabler" and a "pathetic man" come to mind. I'd like to punch that last fckr in the teeth. They forget that Biden served through 50 years of the Cold War when all the most horrific scenarios of a nuclear exchange were top of mind for all politicians everwhere. If you want to know how seriously it was taken - and you should know, just add up the budgets for NATO defense and US defense through the last 70+ years of NATO. THAT's the seriousness with which they took it. Biden has a responsibility to protect 333 million Americans PLUS meet our NATO responsibilities. And these screechers of insults with their far, FAR more narrow and parochial interests damn Biden? It's madness. It was HE who rallied NATO, and HE who warned NATO and Ukraine the attack was coming, and Ukraine ARGUED WITH HIM!!!! And these fuckers want to attack Biden?! The fact HE was the Paul Revere in this situation ought to at least suggest to them that MAYBE he's got the real dope on this situation, and has had it throughout, and still does. Honestly, these critics of his present as a mob of hysterical school girls and it is offensive to this taxpayer and voter to the nth degree.

  388. Ukraine's cheap drones wrecking Russia's expensive junk remind me of the Nazis' love for gigantic, hideously expensive and overengineered weaponry during WW2, ultimately defeated by far, far greater numbers of cheap tin can Sherman tanks and variants in that war. Ukraine's on the right track.

  393. I watched the video of the drone strike on Moscow. WOW. It is impossible to rationally condemn it. And the terrified horror in the cries of the camera holder? Sauce for the goose, sauce for the gander, Honey. See? You DO now have something in common with Ukrainians besides your DNA.

  395. It's stunning that this discussion of nuking POLAND is what these monsters have been calculating in their hives for 30 years. They're certainly revealed now, aren't they. They started this out of one individual's complete derangement and psychopathy, and these propagandists immediately leaped to the nuke card, and haven't shut up about it for 2 + years. It really shows you what a bankrupt, bestial country Russia is ideologically and morally. Their political religion, the ROC, is no religion at all - it has exactly no edifying influence on any of them. I'm sure they think that's hilarious too.

Why is it that the most sophisticated of these Russian women propagandists like the one in the hideous green jacket at 19:00 ALL look like some version of George Constanza's mother, and emote like her too?

  408. I had never ever seen that footage at 21:00 of Putin decrying the sabotage of apartment blocks, blowing them up in the night, full of people, blaming Chechen "terrorists" of course. The horror of it is even deeper, watching this, knowing that it was Putin himself, a true psychopath and sociopath, who had ordered the FSB to do it as a "Reichstag Fire" stunt to unite Russians behind a renewed war against Chechnya to galvanize his election prospects. It's chilling to see this. I knew it, but never saw this before. Chilling.

  409. Georgia PM vows to "eradicate" opposition?! "ERADICATE"?? Tony Blinkin needs to go over there and tell that fool he or she had better watch the words. Georgia's new leaderships' best pal to the north is in a weakened, declining state.

  410. Gaetz won his election in FD #1 though, so some speculate he'll show up on Jan 3rd or 6th or whenever and raise his hand to be sworn in again. Of course, the report will have to come out then, and maybe they'll finally expel him.

  411. The majority of 5 on the SCOTUS is mostly lawless and irrational. Purely ideological. The 4 that voted against this ruling are COMPLETELY lawless, irrational and malign. TWO of them are overt insurrectionists. When you're that, you've abandoned all merit for the SCOTUS. And I've studied constitutional law, got the top grade in the class in 1L, and have read the cases ever since over 4 decades. This majority is unhinged. Everything that mattered for 230 years, precedent, stare decisis, judicial restraint, decorum, the institution - it's all out the window with this crew.

  416. These ten cent military geniuses on RT are so beyond despicable, it's hard to state. They do their navel gazing and pontificating while almost a million Russian serfs have been slaughtered and maimed for life, and all they can do is beat their chests or pretend complete confusion as to why it's so.

  418. Elon in his sunglasses. Was he HIGH ON KETAMINE?? WEED?? Is THIS an example for......anyone? He's delusional. He knows nothing about Ukraine. He's still maligning Zelenskey because he's so stupid and arrogant, he doesn't "get" that the page is turning on him and that, after Trump started the slanders. Slanders have ever been Trump's ONLY game. This idiotic creature is a malign 4 year old at best, but somehow, half of our nation is now so addled that they will run after any imbecile that they, in their own infantilism, find "reinforcing." Musk is an absolute monster, and he needs to be boxed and shelved in a secure dungeon someplace, permanently. Let his 73 brats come visit him once a decade, IF they're interested.

  419. I can't imagine Turkey being willing to just sit there much longer and let Ukrainian port facilities be razed. Surely Turkey has some valuable measure of trade with Ukraine across the Black Sea that it doesn't want to see destroyed. I know Turkey is a NATO country, but they've got to be working on SOME angle to stop this demolition. How are they going to face Ukraine and themselves when this is over? And isn't Erdogan on thinner ice politically since the last election? Where do Turks stand on the question of assisting Ukraine?
    1
  420. "The Russian Dude" has been talking for a week or more about Russia being abuzz with talk of "The Carrot", their confidence that Trump will offer them some huge relief to play ball on Ukraine. And I wouldn't be surprised. I wouldn't be surprised if he agreed to shovel the billions of dollars to RUSSIA that we should be giving to Ukraine, now that Russia is on the ropes. But Trump thinks he'll get Putin's love in all events, and wants it so desperately, expect our cash to be sent to Russia. As you said - he doesn't care about public opinion.

  424. Americans too should follow your advice in minute 40. Don't buy American. It'll cost more, but we ARE in a war against our domestic American enemies who have NO loyalty to our country or our constitution. We need an INTERNAL BOYCOTT of all the products made in America that we can manage. Focus on Red State production. It could not be clearer that in the main, their voters our enemies of our country now. Trump has made it clear.

  425. It can't happen until January of 2027, but Trump needs to be impeached and done in as soon as possible for this betrayal, as do Rubio, Waltz and others. Witkoff, a civilian, needs to be prosecuted for treason. This is aid and comfort to our enemy during wartime.

  443. Re Trump surrounded by those cops in uniform at 37:13 - Monday, in a press conference, the Martin County Sheriff described the arrest of the alleged shooter at Trump on Sunday. He then mentioned approvingly that Trump invited the arresting officers to his Palm Beach hive for a soiree'. This should be absolutely off the table. Everywhere, we see Trump and DeSantis surrounding themselves with police in uniform. These two are obvious law-breaking authoritarians, and this is not good. Trump is a convicted criminal many times over, with more convictions to come. DeSantis is provably heedless of law. The code of ethics of the Florida Sheriffs Association prohibits action that would damage standing and credibility of the uniform and the agency. These group shots and get-togethers do that damage. They amount, inescapably, to an endorsement of one side of the omnipresent political fray. In 2018, a decorated 27-year veteran of the Broward County Sheriff's Office was reprimanded and reassigned for posing in a group photo with Vice President Pence wearing a "QAnon" patch on his uniform. He deserved punishment. That patch is no different than wearing a patch with Trump's leering face, or Ron DeSantis's, on the uniform. The group pictures with candidates serve the same purpose, expressing fealty to something far short of law and order. The candidate, whoever it is, seeks to draw undeserved credibility from the uniform. And the pose, and socializing between cops and criminals DOES bleed credibility from the uniform, in a way that is obviously unethical and should be forbidden. This isn't a close call.

  446. I'm starting to think "The White Sea" in Russia's north near Finland would make another great "NATO Lake". Together with the Baltic Sea, they could be the "Great NATO Lakes." And no more Arkhangelsk!!! Just some frosty shacks on a frozen rocky berm! Nice!

  447. I think that when the Russians refer to Mike Johnson as "OUR Johnson - RUSSIA'S Johnson", then speaking in terms of the American idiom, they've got the Speaker nailed. He IS their "Johnson", and they have unzipped their trousers and are thrusting and waving him around in the faces of the world.

  449. Jake, at the mention of the Aussie vehicle, I wondered if you ever stumble over to Sky News, a Murdoch enterprise, and notice the endless bitter abuse of our US president that goes on there. I've got to say, it gets my goat and I'm disgusted with it. The Hindustan Times is no better. But Australians - can't we expect better of them? I mean, we stepped in it with France to help Australia get the submarines it needs to defend against China, and that was Biden sticking his neck out and taking the severe heat from France for doing so. Whatsamatta with these people?

  452. I go from nearly sobbing at that clip of the funeral for the American in Maidan square to nearly laughing out loud when Trump barks "THEY (the Russians) RESPECT ME!!!!" That pig is seriously delusional. Russians laugh at him. Russians have NOTHING BUT CONTEMPT FOR HIM. RUSSIANS HATE ALL TRAITORS, INCLUDING THE ONES FROM THE WEST WHO HELP THEM, AND TRUMP IS THE BIGGEST SLIMY EEL THEY'VE EVER HOOKED.

  453. So, is this nitwit Speaker Johnson flying to Paris to meet with Marine LePen's crowd? That'd fit, wouldn't it. Or....someone worse? James Carville has a video out there of a lecture he gave his class about Johnson's background and allies and origins in Louisiana, and it's a pretty radical, horrifying picture.

  454. Jake, isn't it possible they're "accidentally" dropping bombs in occupied Luhansk on Ukrainian special forces teams operating behind Russian lines, and just don't want to admit the Ukrainians have infiltrated?
    1
  455. I ABSOLUTELY AGREE WITH YOUR TAKE ON LLOYD AUSTIN'S COMMENTS ABOUT UKRAINE TARGETING. And you know, I've never really heard any truly top tier Ukrainian official disagree with the idea that a supporting nation to the extent the USA has already supported Ukraine since 2014 and then since 2022 has a right to pipe up about its ideas and preferences on strategy. I mean, hasn't Ukrainian leadership listened to us when we've urged them toward adopting NATO artillery doctrine? God knows Ukrainians listen to us when we tell them a moment may be opportune to hit a fuel depot or arms depot or logistics center or naval vessel. They may not act on it, but they welcome the "tips". So how is this different than that?
    1
  456. Jake, Sky News needs to be called out and condemned from every quarter. I've blundered in there more than once, and unbelievably, it is a Rupert Murdoch sponsered and profiting hellhole of subversion of the NATO alliance and interests and goals against a rabid Russia, and China too. Apparently Rupert's ex Wendy Deng Murdoch really was best pals with Putin and his circle, and Rupert can't let those loyalties go. Why we let that enemy of the USA remain in this country I will NEVER understand.

  459. The population of the USA during the Civil War was about 34 million people. By some authorities, 620,000 soldiers were killed during that war through its 4 years or so, or about 2% of the entire US population then. Ukraine's population in 2021 was about 41 million, and estimates are that in one year since the invasion, close to 100,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been killed. That's on pace for over 400,000 to be killed through 4 years, which would be about 1% of Ukraine's 2021 population. And of course, the losses could be much, much higher depending on how far south things could go. This is the scale of sacrifice these Ukrainians are enduring to rescue their country from Russian totalitarian mobsterism.

  461. Jake, I saw an article in the Daily Mail today speculating that Prygozhyn is in Belarus with the sanction of Putin to menace and perhaps attack the Belarus - Poland border., or a "narrow strip of land there", perhaps as a distraction. Seems far-fetched to me, but I think Putin is desperate, and I don't believe for a second there's been some fundamental schism between Putin and Prygohzyn. When it comes to misdirection and shifty BS, the Russians are inexhaustible. Wonder what you think of a feint toward Poland by Wagner.

Begging for body bags and food, in Donetsk, right down the road from the Russian border, and occupied by Russia and its quislings for a decade??!! Talk about FA and FO. 🤨🤨

  466. Trump tweets that Canada can make tariffs go away by ceding its sovereignty and becoming the 51st state of the USA. To me, this sounds like and explicit demand for Canada's territory in exchange for abandoning financial coercion - in other words, extortion to buy its way out of financial penalty. Don't you think this is patent criminality? Canada should prosecute him, or seek the ICC to do so, though I know we're not "participants", even though we have prosecutors participate over there against other defendents. I'm SO sick of this sht.

    1
  477. Kamala Harris should publicly present any Russian attack on US forces in other regions as an attack coordinated between Putin and Trump, because it most assuredly would be that. And if it happens, Joe Biden while still president could sweep Trump and his cabal of traitors up in a dragnet as a national security threat - the threat we already know he is, and that has led to a multi point indictment in Florida.
    1
  478. Trump's betrayed not only Ukraine, but also NATO and our own nation. He betrayed 250 years of our history and sacrifice for our own freedom and that of others too. Trump DOES want to "make Russia great again", or at least give it aid and comfort during war time. He should be impeached for this.

  479. Putin's about to cry "uncle." "We worked with him (Trump) during his first term in office." Yeah, no shit, Volodya. You worked with him during that 2016 campaign, too. Oh yeah, Pooty's in a panic.

  481. That "Christmas Scene" in the school. First of all, how very "warm." Secondly, could it be more obvious that they're killing themselves to resuscitate the Soviet patriotic fervor of 80 years ago against the Nazis, and failing utterly, because there are NO Nazis on the other side, and everyone in Russia knows it by now? Hilarious, if not so murderous.
    1
  482. And WAS for seven whole months of Ukrainians dying by the thousands, losing their power grid, hospitals, schools, and so much more. All for nothing but the stupidity of Trump and MAGA and Mike Johnson. And don't forget Moscow Anna Paulina Luna who lives in Pinellas County FL, and Moscow Midge Fetal Alchohol Syndrome Taylor Greene, who lives in Rome GA. Ukraine should send a special ops "embassy" to visit and express to them Ukrainians' "appreciation" of their efforts.

  483. That lunatic "academic" at the end there is crazy as a bed bug, vile, but that's the kind of moon calf that Vladimir Putin is, and listens to, and that's why Russia is where it is today.

And I wonder if the NK official who kicked them out of the conference room shrieked at them to get out, because the NKs are big shriekers, you just know it. I mean, they know that if their ID badge is even a bit off kilter, they're getting the AK AK that Un's uncle general got some years back, so they get pretty schvitzy about even the small stuff.

  489. For a long time, a common theme of Sci Fi movies has been the question of whether the world will unite if attacked by some alien, hostile and imperialistic colonizing species from beyond our galaxy. Here's the thing. We are in that place. Russia is that alien entity. They kill like mindless, detached alien monsters. They exhibit no humanity. The cure for alien invaders, is the cure for Russian invaders. We need to deploy that cure.

Wouldn't it be hilarious justice if Ukraine really did only have scorched earth, but conned our disgusting corrupt president into believing that Ukraine sat on an endless motherlode of priceless strategic minerals, and got a deal for endless support requiring no disclosure of the" "extent of its mineral treasure" until after Moscow was captured and Russia defanged by the Ukrainian military? Maybe even annexed and renamed "Novo Ukraina"? That would be priceless.

  493. I've been a litigator for almost 40 years, and that "security guarantees" language to me means less than nothing, and guarantees nothing. With a cheat like Trump, you need every detail down to the atomic level spelled out in bold, in clear and exact, unambiguous language. There was more detail in the agreement that guaranteed Ukraine's security 30 years ago in exchange for giving up its nukes. I can't believe this satisfies Zelensky and Ukraine.

  502. Jake, while the graphic of air attacks on Ukraine shows different colored pathways wandering all around the country, it appears as though there are no more than three or four primary points of ingress from Russia into Ukraine that they use, before wandering all around. Depending on how close to the border the Russian planes come to drop their weapons before turning around, wouldn't you think that - with some danger to Ukrainian planes, an ambush could be set to shoot those planes down even in Russia with long range air to air missiles?

  503. The problem I see is that those pliant Russians in now Ukrainian occupied areas near Kursk will quickly revert back to slavery to the Russian military machine when it renews its territorial imposition on them. They may have no loyalty to Putin, but then they have no loyalty to anything or anyone. They have been neutered cats for three or more generations. They WILL stab Ukrainians in the back, when given the chance and ordered to, because they've already proven it. It's only in the West that we harbor the delusion that somehow Russians' hearts and minds can be won by good treatment. They cannot. In fact, when Putin told Joe Biden that "We are different from you (white people) in the West", it's this ugly reality that he was talking about. Russians have been slaves for a thousand years. There'll be no changing them now to conform to our sentimental notions. And plainly, not even the historic tie between Russia and Ukraine can change that, witness what Russians have cheered on or passively accepted in the last 2+ years.

  504. Considering that we'd know a noteworthy amount of time beforehand whether Russia was about to actually launch nukes and preparing, it looks like that B-52 could be flying over Putin's backyard slit trench during his morning constitutional, within only short minutes of the order being given. That's what you call a "no win situation" from Russia's point of view. He must understand that there'd be no Russian left to "celebrate his heroism" before the first missile launched, or surely hit anywhere, doncha think? He looks more and more ripe for a Moammar Khaddafy exit every single day. Or maybe Saddam Hussein.

  507. What you get out of Dmitry Medvedyev is what you got from a mob state, not a legitimate civil state. Russia isn't a civil state. It is a mob territory, and deranged threats and menace are the coin of the realm in a mob territory. It's been this way since the beginnign with this Russian trash. Mobsters, not statesmen, not diplomats, not patriots. Just filthy mobsters. And yes, they DO need to be treated like mobsters. If we ever get the opportunity, either through direct action or Russian patriotic forces, every single nuclear weapon in their arsenal, the missiles in their silos, needs to be drowned in salt water and sealed shut forever. At least. The world needs to finally pull the fangs out of these vampires - for good.

  508. Jake, what's your take on Rep. Spartz from IL and how steadfast an ally of Ukraine she is, because she never shuts up about being from Ukraine and what a superior expert she is on what it means to be an American. But in every moment, she makes it clear she's MAGA. What do you think?

  514. Jake, on TV right now, there's an interview with journalist Gary Shteyngart, who has an article in the current issue of "The Atlantic", about Russian propaganda dissemination in Russian state TV non-news as well as news programs. Shteyngart left Russia with his family when he was 8, and he looks to be in his fifties now. It's pretty gripping and interesting. Shteyngart watched Russian state TV for 5 days straight, and draws some startling and interesting conclusions about the measure of and nature of propaganda infiltration into EVERYTHING the older, 'TV generation' there, are absorbing. Lots of triumphalism, weird inferiority, and license for violence. "Russia as the noble but jilted lover, spurned by the world, entitled to respond with brutality." And lots of impotence "cures" to be used together with alcohol. It's nuts.

  515. Is Dugin blathering about "Kemal's Turkey" meaning Kemal Ataturk, and his dream of a progressive, Turkey unsaturated by Islamic militancy?

  516. Jake, I have lived in FL since 1971, since I came here as a teen. Rubio was in the state legislature with exactly zero experience making a living with his law degree. He came to the legislature as a young "Latin Idol" candidate, having lied on his resume about being an exile from Fidel, when he was born in the USA to parents who left Cuba TWO YEARS before Fidel's takeover in Cuba. But that lie was catnip to South Florida Righty Fascist exiles and their offspring, and the rest is history. He's never been anything but a lying, preening, third rate hustler, and it doesn't surprise me to see the disgrace he's made of himself already on the global stage. It was foreordained. He is absolutely disgusting. He knows NOTHING about negotiating, and obviously, he knows nothing about the Russian monsters he is dealing with. He has NO capacity to deal respectfully with Ukraine, because he is under the spell of TRUMP, and only evil and betrayal flow from Trump.

  518. Mitt Romney is describing the exact same species of TREASON that Richard Nixon committed when, as LBJ was trying to reach a peace deal with the North Vietnamese long ago in 1968, Nixon sent his corrupt emmisary to South Vietnam to urge their corrupt president to oppose any deal LBJ was promoting on the grounds that Nixon, if elected, would get them a better deal. Nixon did NOT get the South Vietnamese a better deal, and is responsible for an ADDITIONAL 20,000 PLUS DEAD AMERICAN SOLDIERS during the period AFTER he took office that the war continued, from 1969 until 1973. LBJ called it treason, but for some reason never raised absolute hell about it. And he bowed out of the next election, went home to Texas, and basically drank himself to death. This is the effect the EVIL have on our nation, and on our history.

It sounds like the same schemes as today, but the parasites are now concentrated in Moscow and St. Petersburg, which explains their blithe disinterest in the war, in Ukrainians, in speaking out, and in their own future.

  521. I think Zelensky is off the mark when he says Trump has fallen for Russian disinformation, but he's just trying to be diplomatic for his country's sake. I suspect he'd like to tear Trump's gizzard out with his bare hands. I and billions of people around the world would too, I'm sure. But the fact is that Trump knows what he's doing, and that he's a traitor to the USA and the world, and to every alliance we have, and that he is bought and paid for by Putin. All this happy talk from Rubio, Waltz and Witkoff, three grotesque, gaslighting, corrupt failures, describing removal of sancitons and restoration of energetic trade ties, is euphemism for a darker truth - Putin has decided to make Trump another of his oligarchs, to get a vig from all that trade, and Trump's all in.

  522. These Russian "security interest" panelists. Because Russia, with a population less than twice France's and rapidly declining, and presently in possession of one sixth of the globe's land mass, just can't "have enough" of a zone of security interest.

Seems like at this point, he's agitating for the geopolitical equivalent of "suicide by cop", because his guts are rotting out to the point of public incontinence, and he doesn't give a damn anymore about anything. Still tho', he tries to affect the mien of a fearless James Bond. Difference is, the whole world can see him sweating. His act isn't working. The being filmed with the champagne flute in his hand is kind of a "tell", if you ask me.

  531. Funny story about a Belgian Malinois.Years ago, I deposed an FHP Trooper in a crash case I had. After the depo, we were talking outside beside his Ford Explorer Canine FHP unit, and as we talked, the dog, a BM, was inside going berserk. Just yipping and yapping CONSTANTLY AND RAPIDLY. It was unbearable. He opened the door, and the dog was in this little sheet steel-lined cubicle inside the door, and it went even wilder once he opened the door. It was spinning like a top inside that cubicle. I said to the Trooper, "Honest to God, does he do that all day? It's unbearable." And he said, "Yes he does it all day long, and it drives me outta my fckng mind. Honestly, I'm thinking of quitting." I thought that was sad but hilarious. This one seems pretty calm in comparison to what I've seen.

  543. One of the scariest obvious realities, to me, is that there are millions of Americans who would applaud and participate in exactly what you described. The same thing was true of Nazi Germany. Once a malign revolutionary seizes power and begins to terrorize some commonly beset part of the population, people who had insisted they never would participate in that begin to fall in line out of fear, or malign ambition. Suddenly, the menace spreads beyond the Jews, Blacks, Muslims, Gays, Gypsies, Socialists or "subversives", and is deployed against EVERYBODY in the society, including loyalists, as the dictator grows more power mad and paranoid. Read what Hitler did to his loyal SA columnists and Ernst Rohm. And look how Trump treats and slanders those he claims are "disloyal" to him. He's nuts. Look what Trump has done to the entire GOP. He has revealed it, and destroyed it as anything like a positive force in this country. And this happened almost overnight. Gary Abernathy, a GOP Righty pundit, said a few years ago "The GOP was always this, just waiting for its Trump to come along." Yeah, we know Gary. We know.

It's interesting, these Russians' desperation about their cold living conditions. i'm old enough to remember when they felt nothing but glee and psychopathic satisfaction at the multitude of Ukrainian deaths due to exposure to winter in the steppes, after the Russian rabble army of war criminals attacked Ukraine and its power generating and transmitting stations. In fact, they STILL feel that glee, I'm sure. The residents of No. 10 say that they're not at the front, but they feel under siege!!! Heaven forFEND!!! No, Sister, the Ukrainians ARE at the front, and ARE under seige. Shall we shed a tear for these fatally passive, disinterested Russians, who swallow every snotty syllable of what their propagandists tell them? Nah. I don't think so.

Ron DeSantis used the same methods to kidnap legal asylum seekers in Texas with that state's averted gaze, transporting them through Florida with ten minutes at a panhandle airport to justify fleecing Florida taxpayers to pay for it (pay his cronies who provided the flights), and then shuffle them on off to Martha's Vineyard. Same method. All for a stunt "flex" to boost his presidential campaign prospects.

Now that his grift is out in the open and he KNOWS he can fleece MAGA until his last breath and then beyond, he doesn't need Putin and his hotel deal at ALL. It doesn't help Putin that this dire Ukraine miscalculation has made him look so, so pathetically WEAK. Trump, a weakling himself, knows he can't afford to be seen favoring weaklings.

  603. Jake, lacking any marketable ideas that appeal to decent Americans anymore, The GOP has entirely flipped to warlordism faster than you could say Jack Robinson, and the entire world is noticing it. That explains Venezuela's aggression against Guyana, and Putin's patience in Ukraine. Republicans have made it clear they welcome seduction by the worst of humanity and its leaders, and have been showing leg for quite some time. But they lie and, when convenient, still talk the talk of traditional American principles of freedom. The despots of the world see right through it, and we should too. The insurrection showed us the GOP is more than willint to support armed aggression within the USA against those who oppose it too.

  610. Moscow Midge is outraged by the Ukrainian flag - the flag of our close allies in Ukraine, being on the House premises, but entirely approves of the Confederate flag being paraded through that building and chamber by the enemies of the USA - her insurrectionist voters.

  611. Jake, you have made clear that you understand the fact that 60 days before the election, the administration justly believes it must tread carefully because what it does now has absolutely broad implications it will leave for Kamala Harris (hopefully) to deal with, and she will want and need the widest latitude possible for decision making. I see Ben Hodges all over Youtube in video after video, voice overs, waxing waxily on every issue under the sun, and I wonder if his exposure - his overexposure - isn't driven by some discreet, questionable motive. I just wonder. Anyway, the dynamics haven't changed since several days ago when you confirmed you understood very well. I am sure there will be further movement by our administration, and it will be shaped to address the danger and damage Ukraine faces. I also suspect Putin is ramping up the bestiality of what he does precisely because the American election is in the offing, as you say. But language suggesting the Biden administration "has done nothing" isn't helpful, and is short-sighted. Didn't Zelensky postpone a presidential election in the last year because of the wartime situation? It effects our politics too, as you know.

  612. Jake, is napalm still in the NATO armory, and suited to this platform? Also, I heard online talk yesterday about how Russian interceptor jets have missiles with greater air to air range than anything the F-16 and F-18 can carry. Does that sound right to you?
    1
  613. In fact, they film the stacked corpses and half buried stiffs rotting from two and three battles' worth of slaughters lying helter skelter in the tree lines, and tell the folks at home that these are "Ukranian corpses" for propaganda purposes, even thought the Russian patches and stars are plainly visible on their uniforms and equipment. They won't be forgotten by Russians? They are forgotten, abandoned, and immediately mislabeled as Ukrainians by their own team the moment they fall. What an obscenity.

  618. Trump's ardor for any minerals deal with Ukraine arises out of an expectation of a massive percentage of related revenue to himself personally, and Zelenskey's cooperation in hiding that from the American people. You can bet that's what Russia is offering Trump. "Need to be more appreciated" means a vig. It's that obvious, and that simple. And you're right, he won't come back to the table for less, but only more. My God, how could American voters be so stupid. Like Michael Corleone to the Nevada senator who wanted more tribute - "Now you get nothing. You get me our gambling license for nothing."

  621. Jake, how do your Fascist critics here explain America's position at the historic pinnacle of global power in 2025 (and since WW2) coexisting with what they claim is its now utterly debauched state? The answer is easy - they can't explain it, so they ignore the illogic, and just keep braying their toxic lies, because they are idiots with NO principles, NO awareness, and NO loyalty to this country or the constitution that holds it together - so far.

  622. Jake, that's a great video, especially that charming last bit. Now if you could only get rid of those Ron DeSantis for governor / fuhrer ads. Those of us in Florida know the truth. He's a Fascist.

  623. He's 80. He had a cold. He'd probably taken some cold med or other. He was likely over-prepared by his staff. But only being 80 and having a cold will look like he did most of the time. And he was fine in North Carolina today, clear, energetic and well-received. I'm voting for Biden. His opponent is a 34x convicted felon with more convictions heading his way - a lot more. He's a rapist, a pathological liar, a fraud and a cheat. I don't understand how his enthusiasts don't understand what that means for his conduct in power. He was stone cold sober apparently, and apart from still coming off as deranged through the last half of the debate, he lied incessantly about every single subject, and there were many, because he has the concentration of a horse fly, and hit every subject under the sun. And lied about all of them. There is no choice. I'm voting for Biden too. He has been an able, admirable figurehead for an administration full of very capable talented, younger people. Together they have done great things. I want more of that. I'm not gonna sweat Joe looking 80 and tired for 45 minutes last night.

Did Tatarigami have intel sources inside the Kremlin and Russian military that he didn't share with his government or ours, to know this with certainty?

I thought we might get some good from Bessent given his ties to Soros, but now I don't think so. I think his willingness to be Trump's bag man delivering a BS and exploitive, ridiculous demand for ALL of Ukraine's mineral rights and resources, let's face it, proves that Bessent is corrupt, right at home in a Trump gypsy caravan. No offense to gypsies. They're better than Trump, at their worst.

  645. Given Russia's "defensive prowess", maybe Russia's best bet to hobble Ukraine is to cede enough territory in the south to Ukraine to make Ukraine roughly equal or just a bit bigger in size than Russia, and thereby stretch "Novo Ukraine's" borders sufficiently that it can't defend ITself either. Ukraine should propose that, as a lark, and as a basis for a mutual non-aggression pact.

Omsk, in southern Russia, is at about 55 degrees North latitude, 15 degrees farther north than New York City. Moscow is at 55 degrees North. In comparison, Madrid Spain is at 40 degrees, the same as NYC. So Russia is WAY North. That's a lot. A WHOLE lot. That's a freezer, Baby. And Omsk is SOUTHERN Russia. Crazy.

And personally, I wonder if they might have held onto a couple back in the day, understanding Russia's fundamentally treacherous and deceitful character as they do so well.

  652. That "non combat A-50 shot down" and the logic expressed for prosecuting the UKRAINIAN air defense unit commander is the same kind of logic you can hear every day in the GOP controlled committees of the US House of Representatives, especially the Oversight Committee. They run on very "Soviet" methods.

  653. That Natalka has a hilarious video on her Twitter feed of Putin wrapping up comments in a formal greeting to 17 newly arrived foreign ambassadors including the USA's, and when he finishes, he's waiting for applause, and gets dead, stony silence instead. So he vamps a little longer to signal "this is where you applaud - I'm done and I'm leaving", and still, they just stand there in scornful silence. It's absolutely perfect. It's very evident how non-plussed he is about it.

  663. Anything can happen, but why in the name of Allah would the new regime in Syria permit the enablers of its tormentors, and the tormentors themselves, the gassers, the jailers and the babykillers, the barrel bombers and the poisoners, from staying on that territory for ANY amount of money? How could they keep their cred among other Sunni states, having thrown off Iran's allies and proxies, and among the rivals of Russia whose favor they may profit from? The whole idea is nuts.

  669. Romanian reticence to shoot down Russian drones over their territory could be a product of where WE are in our election cycle, and their fears that Trump will get elected again, and persist with his determination to kneecap and abandon NATO in favor of his tiny gremlin girlfriend in the Kremlin. THAT is how the cancer that Trump is affects ALL things.

Can Aliev make the connection between corrupt, incomptent behavior by Russia in relation to this downing and then the excuse making that followed AND Russia's invasion of Ukraine for a "3 day tour" and all the gore and horror that has followed, along with the endlessly changing deceitful excuse making about it? This is Russia's only mode. It is a mafia - ruled block in the Russian version of Little Italy and Mulberry Street, trying to pass itself off as a sophisticated democracy in a world that absolutely knows better. It's hideous, contemptible and bitterly laughable.

They should get with it right away. Might help suppress the noise from Russian state media.

What will have been the point of it all, apart from real estate in a country that infamously has vast areas of unimproved real estate?

The MAGA GOP wanted a weak fish in that job, but once he was in, the Dems saw him as a likely, possible tool too, and so now Johnson is in a role he can't think his way out of, he's working with the Dems as he MUST and so enraging the bonkers "Freedom Caucus", and lacks the intellectual resources, ethics and morality to do the right thing.

  728. I hope that once the moment comes, Ukraine's plan for DPR and LPR "leadership" traitors is a terminal plan, with no interest in "rehabilitation." They have earned their fates, and could never be trusted again. Since NO one trusts a traitor, even the ones who made them such, these traitors have no future in Russia, so no "humanitarian" concerns for them need be considered. Their filthy bones, burned to ash, may make a proper mortar for the masonry of a renewed Ukraine, and let it be so. One last way to serve their country, after so much treason.

  733. "Exaggerating the importance of death" in Russian propaganda. I was talking to my brother, who speaks a little Russian (more than), and had a business dealing with Russians until - unwilling to bribe and menace - he realized he could never succeed with the business. I was talking to him about how the climate in Moscow and most of Russia - frigid - probably explains their monstrous personalities and inhumanity, and he said something interesting. He said Russians have a very "village mentality", and not a good village. A village of mean desires and unworthy aims, full of bitter jealousy and mutual hatred. I was shocked to see that Kiev is at latitude 50 degrees, 10 degrees farther north than New York City, and Moscow is even farther north at 55 degrees. No wonder it snowed in Moscow on "Victory (thanks to the USA, whom they hate) Day." In the Russian village occupying one sixth of the earth's land mass, all hold all others in laughable, un-self aware contempt. A village where all residents despise each other and are constantly trying to cheat, and shiv, and backbite and one up each other. It's the way they've been for over 1000 years, it's broad-based and pervasive, and it will never change. It's why raw, barbaric, unjudicious power is the only currency. They hate themselves in their remote solitude, and so hate all others, and can tell themselves any appalling lie to convince themselves of their non-existent "superiority", and exhaust incredible amounts of energy in trying. Sounded right to me. If the USA is the "indispensable nation", and it is, then Russia has made itself the "expendable nation", and in a big, irreversible way. You can see it in their elevation of barbaric massacre without apology to a national credo. They have no hope of actual civilization, know it, and so have abandoned the idea. Their model is the suave serial killer and terrorist bent on mass killing. Hannibal Lector and Carlos the Jackal - so admirable. And you can really hear that in Putin's saying, to the effect, "What good is the world without Russia in it?" The world would actually be so, SO much better without Russia in it.

  734. I think all MAGA electeds blocking this bill should be arrested and charged with sedition. Once they're extracted from the filthy nest they've built in the guts of our congress, a vote could promptly be taken on a new Speaker, and won by Hakeem Jeffries. Then this arms bill would pass. A lot of ifs, but how long are we to tolerate this Russian operation in the bowels of our country?

  735. Hey, Jake - Old Joe had a very good evening tonight with his press conference. It wasn't perfect, but he didn't mention water pressure, toilets, showers, enemies, Putin love, or the usual nonsense we hear from his competition a single time. Try to imagine TFG being able to answer most of those foreign policy and NATO questions - at all. Only two days ago, on a podium in Doral FL, Trump admitted that when he took office in January 2017, he "really didn't know anything about NATO." Just imagine the breathtaking horror of that admission. Many of us knew then that was true.

  736. Isn't "baby stealing" the chief libel and slander that Europeans and Russians too, I'm sure, have always leveled at their despised Gypsy populations? And now it's Kremlin policy? What has always been their ne plus ultra of "Gypsy evil and debauchery"?

  737. Was that Putin subway shot filmed with Putin's own "Pantload Cam"?

  738. Russia knew about the Crocus attack because Russia planned the whole thing. Who was at the other end of the terrorists' "Telegram" messaging? Well it wasn't Santa Claus.

  739. People talk about how "sharp" Tucker Carlson is, but if he's so sharp, how is it he appears to have no awareness of the absolute contempt Putin and his circle have for traitors, and the certain fact that they regard Carlson as a traitor to the USA, even if they find utility in him for their own ends. They don't respect him. They don't like him. They SNEER at him. Look at the look on that old orangutan Lavrov's face. Bemused contempt, that's it.

  740. So, SO sad, all of Trump's "jilted lovers in Russia." LOLOLOLOL!!!

  741. The utterly infantile, slavelike and fawning tone of these soldier videos to the "Dear Leader" begging for help are absolutely contemptible, sorry to say. Russians are so pompous and arrogant about their superiority to every other race and nation, but look at their eyes-down submission to their own mass murderer. Unreal.

  742. The more I read what you're posting about Routh's rants, the more he sounds like Trump's brother from another mother. Cain and ... Cain.

  743. It seems to me that tthe US and Ukrainian administrations who are doing the best with this military situation in Ukraine are the ones who are NOT listening to billionaire nitwits like Elon Musk, who stick their noses into things they know nothing about because of their over-inflated delusions of their universal genius.

  744. That shield video though. It says something about the Russian psyche that they don't even realize how symbolically and actually pathetic that video is. "This is all we can do - cartoons and memes." They really ARE that pathetic. I'm glad Ukrainians aren't sending face nesting dolls from their howitzers and tanks back toward Russians. No, Russians get the "real stuff."

  745. What US state was Elon Musk born in again anyway? Can someone remind me where in the US this immigrant-hating Putin Fellator Musk was born?

  747. Jake, I may have missed it, but what do you think about Elon Musk reportedly "funding Trump's campaign" and endorsing him for president?

  748. I'm a big fan, Denys. Slava Ukraini! Please always give it to us straight, so we can better understand where we need to pressure our leaders, and about what.

  749. If you ever wonder about the USA's cultural influence on the world, I give you the melody to "Happy Birthday To You", and often, the words too. It's hilarious.

  750. Fridman's a noxious flake. He's pretending to be a lamb when he is in fact currying favor with Putin by carrying water for Putin. He tries this by presenting himself as a "heavenly dreamer" who "sees the good in and empathizes with Putin", who must also be a "good man" to have won "Dreamer Lex's" favor. No one should buy Fridman's act. It's an act, and a tawdry one.

  751. These senators also know Trump is out for good in four years. That's probably why Trump is seeding the clouds with smirking comments that he gets two CONSECUTIVE terms, and so can run again in 2028 - to brush stubborn Republicans back from opposing him. But even given the grotesque cowards Republicans are, I don't think that's going to work.

  754. I'd actually be for handing Graham over to the Russians as a "goodwill gesture". It'll be Russia's cross to bear. God knows the USA will be better off. God knows Graham was a perfectly willing fluffer for Putin's poodle lately in the Oval Office.

  755. Jake, it may be too early, or it may be classified, but is there any credible evaluation of the difference, if any, the F-16s have provably made in any aspect of Ukraine's war fighting strategy, tactics, general ability. Curious how they're being used, and if it goes beyond simply taking out drones and other aerial weapons.
