Hungary is fine. Orban must decide - Moscow or Brussels. No more hedging your bets. Pick on or the other. You can't have both. Hungary - OK. Orban - if he is a putinphile - there is no value to the EU keeping him around.

Or was the guy just shooting at a gator that was trying to sneak up on trump. Which was it?

@garyrumsby3330 Nonsense. Membership in not - unconditional. There is a burden of membership to be met. Hungary does not get a free ride in the EU. With membership comes repsonsibilty. If Hungary wants to bet on putin and Moscow - who unilaterlly invaded Europe in Ukraine no worries. The EU certainly do not need rogue nations voting the interests of those seeking to destroy - the EU. Orban must decide - is he a functional member of the EU - or not. If Orban wants ot bet putin will win - all the best to him and he can join putin in putin new Age Iron Curtain of dictatorial repression. But for sure - Orban should not be crying about the EU. Let Orban decide and let the chips fall where they may.

putin reeks of impotence.

Yes - they should be made to pick. One side or the other. Not both.
5
Allowing Orban to set EU policy is the same as allowing putin to set EU policy. I cannot see the value to Europe in that.

Remember putin rejected democracy in russia in partnership with Europe - for his war on Europe in Ukraine. While russia billionaires send their princess daughters to Europe to go clubbing in Rome London and Paris.

If the US Pentagon wants to understand the capability of the USA - all out - against russia - then it needs to outfit Ukraine to fight according to the US Paradigm for ground war against russia. The USA has an opportunity learn something about US weapons and tactics in all kinds of condition. The half measures used to date - self limits the US ability learn and adapt according to the current state of the art. only by properly outfitting Ukraine to fight in the US Pentagon paradigm can the USA do real learning about strengths and weaknesses of the current theory. So far the USA has squandered the opportunity to learn tune and refine US tactics methods and systems. Too bad that really. Golden opportunity - wasted . So Far.

so Romania said No to putin. Joe Biden? Biden? Biden?

Remember, for 25 years after the fall of the Soviet Empire under its own weight from internal rot and since then putin chose dictatorship in russia instead of Democracy for Russia in economic and social collaboration with Europe. All other iron Curtain Dictatorships chose democracy in partnership with Europe reaping the democracy dividend. Including Belarus - but putin intervened to prop up Luckshenko. But in Belarus - the people have spoken - Lukashenko and putin - just haven't got the message - yet. They will. Dictatorship in Russia - is choice. And bad choice and the disadvantaged choice for russia, Europe and the World.
2
no - she is controlled by the gangster putin.
2
putin tells the world - I got nothing here folks. Nothin. How do I know - putin - is always just posturing. Always walks the line always careful to never cross the threshold - to actually piss off anyone in NATO enough to act. It means putin is terrified. No one speaks of any damage - it was just a fireworks show. Propoganda. putin knows crossing the line ends with putin vaporized. putin is a malignant festering blight on humanity.
2
Who controls Europe? NATO? or Putin? It is that simple. if it is NATO then the people breathe the air of person freedom and liberty. if it is putin - they don't. putin has been coloring far outside of the lines for far too long. How do you balance the lives of 770 people protected by NATO against One - Mortal Individual? With the putin junta keeping $1Ttrillion in countries protected by NATO - give patin a single choice - withdrawal from Ukraine by June 1, 2024 - of forfeit ALL russia junta assets kept in Europe. Permanently. NATO can restore trnasnistria to Moldova - and give free safe passage t all russians living there - back to russia. Time to bring real tangible pain to the single individual in russia as mortal as the guy he is standing next to.
1
@jimbomacers Basically - who does putin think he is? Looks a like a two bit player who has a habit of overplaying his hand. Let the EU call his cards. Let's see what's got. It is cheaper and easier to defeat russia in Ukraine than in Warsaw, Berlin, Prague, Bucharest. Giving piton Ukraine only fuels his delusion that he is some how - important. You know what I mean? After all putin is a mortal as the guy he is standing next to.
1
@yossarincatch6051 Do you think that Orban can back putin who is at war with Europe in Ukraine - and there is no consequence for Orban? Orban is free to back the guy trying to destroy Europe - but then why cry about the consequences? Right ?
1
@sihletngcobo If Orban thinks backing putin over Brussels in in the interest of Hungary he is a fool. Hungary suffered the yoke of Soviet Rot for too long behind the Iron Curtain. Does Orban select re-entry to life behind the Iron Curtain - or the Democracy dividend that comes with collaborative partnership with Europe? Putin rejected democracy in russia for 23 years and rejected collaborative partnership with Europe options to go to war with Europe instead. While russia billionaire - all send their russia princess daughters to Rome, London and Paris to go clubbing in the EU life of the rich and famous. To bad only the Russia people are - locked out.
1
@yossarincatch6051 Your crying about NATo is Bogus. If NATO is a threat then why do Russia billionaire own propter all over Europe all of it protected by NATO? Which Russia billionaire allows his princess daughter to live in Rome Paris London to go clubbing there - if it is not safe for her there? Crying about NATO is a waste of everyone's time. With a nuk in his pocket putin has the delusion he is god. Now he knows that is wrong.
1
@yossarincatch6051 No. Ukraine USED to HAVE russian background. Not any more. No Longer. For russia - Ukraine is Gone - and will never come back. If putin or Stalin had affection for Ukraine - then they both did absolutely everything - wrong. NATO is no issue to Russians. Russia billionaires ALL send ALL their kids to school in Europe protected by NATO. They ALL have property and family in Europe protected by NATO. If NATO were a threat - then how many russia billionaires would live in Europe and have family in Europe? Putin crying about NATo is a total fraud. Everyone in Europe knows it. Everyone.

Russia invaded for the first time since WWII. Another Russian tragedy. My god Russia is self destructing
1
@TimpanistMoth_AyKayEll Now russia faces a moment with an excuse to rid itself of the last vestiges of soviet rot that have done so much damage to russia. The future for russia is democratic, in social and economic partnership with Europe - not as Soviet Failure State II or Soviet Failure state III, or IV, or V ... Not good days for Orban or Luchkashenko. They should probably start looking for the exists.

Netanyahu - what did he ever accomplish? Absolutely nothing. Just a rat on a wheel running as hard as he can - getting no where. Hope he drags trump into the Middle East. and takes trump down with him. In the Middle East they been at each others; throats for 2000 years. It will not change in Netanhu's lifetime, not in trump's life time, not in my lifetime, not in your lifetime. 200 years old grievance. Alive and Well. My god, if trump is a man, now a mindless wind bag - then trump can walk the ground of Gaza and show th world what a real man looks like. if not - just another mindless windbag.
1
It is a further degradation of the myth of putin on omnipotence. beginning to look a lot more like impotence - which is much closer to reality. I mean we are talking about the soviet relic.
1
Russians keeping assets in countries protected by NATO - should be prepared to forfeit said Assets if putin remains in Ukraine after June 1, 2024.

@nikitaavdeev9681 puttying did a naked land grab in transnistira. Naked. I have as much claim to transinistria as putin,

sia bans anti-war candidate from challenging President Putin in election. because putin is a dictator.

If I am Zelenski I go to the USA, meet trump and tell him - NO - I person. Europe is not an idle bystander. Not sure why Europe will permit trump and putin to steal Mineral resource and land - In Europe. I wouldn't. Europe can and should guarantee Ukraine sovereignty. And tell turmp and putin - F'ck off.

Macron is Visionary. In 2024 Ukraine is at War - Open warfare with Russia. in 2024 the USA is at war with Russia too. In 2024 putin is obsessed to re-installed do trump into power in the USA. Last time was the dry run. putin and trump made too many mistakes. But they learned a lot about what works and what does not. putin today believes - that he - with The Federalist Society in the USA and the help of the SCOTUS - putin will control the USA this time next year. In 2020 masked militia went to US state capitals to intimidate US legislators to select trump. In 2024 it will happen again - but more effectively. Jan 6, 2025 republican lawmakers will force a session to review the election result trying to force the process in the US House where each state gets one vote and then select don trump. It means US republicans are aligned with the dictator putin to overthrow American Democracy. They plan to do it. We know that today. Know that if the USA falls to putin and trump - trump will never leave office willingly. Never. Putin will help him Overtly. NATO is dead instantly. trump already said it publicly. Europe will fall to the putin nuclear threat like dominos one by one. It means that in 2024, the USA need help from Allies in Europe and Globally. Especially from Ukraine. Out of an instinct to self preservation. EU President Ursula von der Leyen in her speech said Europe can be ready for the threat in a few years. She has until July, maybe August or September. But the EU and Ukraine must have russia fully engaged and occupied - consumed with self preservation - distracted from the USA - by October. No later. You have until September folks. Now would be better. The USA needs Europe Help - Today. This is a time for concrete focused and determined Action. Not idle observation and commentary. Action is needed - Now. Raise the cost for russian intrusion into Europe and the UK - Immediately. Amputate russia tentacles into UK society. Today. 2024 will be seen as a pivotal year in the history of western civilization.

In 2016 putin had a good year. trump in the USA and Brexit in the UK - doing the divides and conquer on the UKL and Europe. putin flooded London with money to buy it. not sure why UK conservative bought the putin plan - but they did. It is Election year in the USA. and putin intends to reinstall trump this time to be DOTUS. Dictator of the USA and trump promised to let russia do whatever the hell they want in Europe. turmp words. not mine. trump promised the US will abandon NATO. I believe him. The plan? Install trump. The US abandons NATO and Ukraine. russia takes Ukraine, Moldova and Hungary, and with sympathetic people is Austria - is on the border with Germany. russia uses the nuclear backed protection racket to topple EU countries one by one. If European NATO holds it ground the USA under trump will enter the conflict - On The Side of Russia. This is foreseeable and Predictable. 100%. You tired of putin and turmp? I am. Will you trade the fate of 770 million people in the USA and Europe protected by NATO to create the fresh air of person llberty and freedom for the criminal ambitions of trump and putin - backed by US Conservative like Grover Norquist, Harland Crowe , the Koch Bro, and Lenard Leo? I won't. I won't be walking into the Gas Chambers for that crowd, I guarantee you. It will not happen. What to do? in 2024, the USA Needs Europe's Help. Not Europe Needs the USA Help. In 2024 The USA needs Europe's Help. It is like a 9.11 Scenario,. All hands on Deck. In 2020- armed masked militia occupied US State capital in Michigan and Georgia to intimidate Legislators certifying the vote. You can EXPECT that and worse in 2024 and 2025. MAGA - meaning trump and putin will Game Jan 6, 2025 Joint Session of Congress to try to install Trump. Failing that - given Jan 6, 2021 - straight up coup is conceivable. No individual on planet earth need don trump back in office - more than the dictator putin. It is only March and putin already partnered with Hamas to start a war in Israel to distract Joe Biden and Europe - and it worked. putin threaten nuclear war - Again. putin sponsored trucker and farmer blockades across Europe to disrupt Europe. putin does strategic buys to compromise European, coercion, extortion- the normal rackets. But putin has 3 achilles. One russia keeps $1 trillion in assets in NATO Protect countries. $200 or $300 billion publicly and visible. More under the surface of the water. So it seems unlikely he will nuk Europe. And putin is trapped in a war of his own creation in Europe in Ukraine. Third Achilles? putin is a mortal and the guy he is standing next to. And that one cannot be undone. It is the human condition. Europes job? Get putin on the run in Ukraine. From Sep 1 or Oct 1, 2024 through Mar 1, 2025. Regardless of the weather. Raise the intensity of the fight 2x, 3x, 4x, 5,x. Other Options. Kaliningrad, Moldova, Transnistria, Georgia, Chechnya, Bashkortostan, The Kazakh Frontier. You know where the russia mob reside in Europe, harass them. You know where russia assets are in Europe. Physically condemn the buildings. Raise the taxes. Do Utility work in front of russian spy houses. Tear up the road in front of the buildings. EU President Urusla said Europe will be Ready in 2 or 3 years. You got until June or July to get organized. On the move by Sep. October at the latest. Remember - russia has $1 trillion sunk into NATO protected countries already. putin does not want to destroy Europe. putin wants to OWN Europe. The fate of 700 million versus a handful. The UK is - Aa Player. Is it War? Absolutely. Know that putin is a conniving duplicitous, manipulative schemer. Yeltsin got into a tank and shelled the Russia Parliament like a Real Russian man. putin is the opposite of that. inherently fearful and a coward - putin approach is through guile manipulation and trickery - the feminine approach. Like fake tracker and farmers at the border. Europe has a choice. The USA needs help and an ounce of prevention in 2024 is worth Magetons of cure down the road. What say Yea. yea merry band of Europe. Who will decide the fate of Europe - NATO - or putin?

Joe Biden just authorized US weapons to be used on nuclear armed russia. it means Biden assess the risk to escalate to Global Thermo Nuclear War - and approved the use of the weapons . meaning Biden assess that the USA will go to nuclear war with Russia - if that is what it comes to. for putin there is no other way to interpret the action. Until two days ago Joe Biden was absolutely dead against risk of escalation with russia that could lead to nuclear confrontation. Today he said - "if nuclear war is what you want - then bring it on". That is a radical change. Like his brain snapped. Like someone showed Biden definitive proof trump is working with putin to Fork America. That would do it.

Ukraine can tell trump No. I would. Tell trump No.

@WarDog1567 putin is a lot weaker than Ukraine. the russia military is conducting military logistics using donkey and horse. That is desperate. Remember trump is a serial bungler. A serial screw up. If a situation can be screwed up -then trump can do it. Putin - the same. both are fools who exists on propoganda. Where is the substance? There is none. Europe can easily fill the military gap left by the USA - trump will never give military aid to Ukraine anyway. It would hurt putin - trump's only "friend' on planet Earth. Did I mention the russia military donkeys? Best soldier in the russia military is a donkey.

Polish truckers freezing their butts off on the frontier of the Ukraine border. After you are low on diesel - you gotta conserve fuel and that means no heater. Tell me which trucker sits there for free? I'l tell you none do. Who is paying them? - Walk truck to truck and say - Who is paying you? Then go talk to the people paying them.

Truck Blockade. It is the same tactic used in the US and Canada during Covid. In Poland - only putin benefits - it reeks of putin. Find out who is organizing it. Someone is paying these guys to sit on the road in Poland. Who?

seems like "The West" meaning Main Stream Humanity - should be warning putin.

@danielr.8345 Ukraine is one of the largest nations in Europe. Ukraine is a donor nation to the EU Economy. Zelensky has one of the largest militaries - battle tested in Europe. And Ukraine is the bastion on the east preventing the Soviet Relic advancing West. The Day Ukraine enters the EU it lifts the EU boat higher in the water. The tragedy? in 1989 russia set out on a path to democracy in partnership with Europe and it let the soviet relic putin drag it down into the abyss of dictatorship. Only Stalin was worse for russia than putin.

The Joe Biden Pardon of Hunter Biden is one the first and few really presidential things. Joe Biden did. 45 days left for Joe Biden to make the Biden Presidency - "The Most Consequential in USA History". - If I'm Joe Biden - Gifted Dictatorial Power on Jul 1, 2024 by the putin turmp Lenard Leo SCOTUS? I'd declare - I am staying in office - For the Good of the USA and the Free World. And then I'd go looking for don turmp and Vladimir putin.
1
My guess is - trump never makes it to office. Not sure how it will be done. But I fully expect a tragic ending for trump in less than 60 days.
1
Oh my God - that is hysterically stupid. Exactly what I expect from a guy - rejected democracy in partnership with Europe to basically single handed destroy russia for at least 100 years. Just like in Afghanistan - Ukraine is going full Taliban on to russia and russia is - a leaving. And in their heart of hearts - they already know it. When the collapse of the russia invasion comes - it will be real fast.
1
so much for absolute immunity. Clearly trump was terrified Marchan would change his mind and sentence trump to Rikers. Wy else does the Mahattan blow hard with absolute immunity show up for sentencing? What a humiliation. To have to submit to the authority of all those infidels. No doubt excruciating.

IF Biden just discovered he is POTUS - it is bad news for putin and turmp. trump is never going to take office in the USA never again. I wonder how they got through to Biden. Maybe Biden figured out he'd been drugged. Maybe Biden figured out - his handers were actually working for putin. How did Biden figure out he'd been played? Did Xi hand him the intel at the G20? How? Why? What if? If Biden gets a clear head - and starts to think it through - then don trump is in real existential trouble and putin - the same. My thinking is simple. Two nation on earth are prime drivers of climate change pollution. If Climate Change Will be solved - then it will be the USA and China and Russia is irrelevant. The two largest economies on Earth are the USA and China. I ask my self - is China willing to trade away totalitarian tendencies a region power lust - for partnership seat one or two - at the table that Leads Humanity- the G7 which would be the G8? If I am China - I take that lead role in a heartbeat - so fast it would make your head spin. And relegate russia t oa potion in the constellation of nations - more appropriate to their contribution to humanity - which its only negative . There is no positive russian contribution to humanity. it is correctable - if russia rids itself of the Dugin Putin Blight on Russia society

Why would trump confer with putin about anything at all - ever? If trump were an American he'd be talking to Congress and Biden. turmp is no American. Jul 27, 2016 "Russia, if you're listening...I need... you will be rewarded? Where the fork in US intelligence Infrastructure? I guess they wanted trump to sell out America to the dictator putin - cause their absence is what made it possible. If a viable US Intelligence Infrastructure existed - the putin trump collaboration would have been severed in 2016 - permanently. Only the systematic failure of the US Intelligence Instrafsture makes putin trump even possible. The inescapable conclusion is - US intelligence wants strong trump and lies to itself that it will not be subservient to putin. Now there is some might powerful Self Deception going on. Too deep down the rabbit hole - no longer can see the light of day. Lost it long ago. The moment turmp takes power putin is dictator the USA. Not turmp. Putin. You may deny it - but that is what putin thinks. There is no constraining authority in the USA over POTUS , not since SCOTUS decision Jul 1,2 024 and putin constrains trump globally. Putin will own the US Military. All US military tech is going to putin. All US Intelligence infrastructure - putin owns. The people process equipment methods tactics strategy. All putin;s property. Putin will own US banking and finance, health care, Like Richard DeVos, Pharma, biotech, manufacturing, All of COngres, the SCOTUS and all US State Governors. All of them. Forputin it is all old hat and the processes to seize control well established refined and understood. Like candy from stupid little dumbass. American Babies. And putin will run the World. because owning America there is no viable counterpoint globally. OnlyGod built in the term limits for humans. Mortality. So it will be until putin dies like Castro and Franco.

After some reflection I sees it thisa way. Joe Biden authorized the use of US Weapons against nuclear armed russia. it is direct conflict between nuclear armed rivals. It means Joe Biden did the calculus and decide he is willing to risk Global Thermo Nuclear War. The Fate of Ukraine is no enough do that. Some one showed to Biden proof Positive. irrefutable Proof, trump is working with putin to overthrow the USA. And Biden said - um, no free rides. For putin his whole life depends on getting trump into office - so I fully expect trump to try unilaterally power grab prior to Inauguration Day - basically a foreign back coup. Expect trump to mobilize any militia that will follow him and anyone in the military and anyone in the intelligence services who will help him grab power. Biden said - Go ahead - and I will Tourch Planet Earth. Something along those lines. it is that if it is anything and it is nothing less. 60 days folks. If you got something you been meaning to do - you best get to it. The one thing you know for absolute certainty at this point is - don trump will never gains be POTUS. Never Again.
