If Ukraine loses...you are thinking only if people here, commendable but economically poor. Tactically and Strategically very dangerous thinking as well. Ukraine before Russia's attack, was a major supplier of lithium. Lithium is absolutely essential in ceramic heat linings, also in strengthening steel, but its main use you would find absolutely necessary is lithium ion batteries which power multiple cell phones, I pads, smart phones and other highly sensitive electronics. We cannot hand that huge supply to the Russians.

Note my other response, and add this..I spent the last 3 hours looking Trump up and his past criminal behavior as documented by : the Spanish Civil Guard, the Swiss Counterintelligence, Mossad, the Italian Police, the Austrian Police, the German politzei, and the FBI. I am not going any further with this.

Your last statement reminds me a lot of a certain voices of WWII.. both propagandists of the enemy.

On Dec 6, 2022 The Trump Organization, of which Donald Trump is President ,was convicted of 17 criminal charges , and you know what, Trump has lost so MANY Court cases it literally would take me a couple of days to.list them all. Take off your Red glasses and do a little research. Even just Google would do. Start back in say the 1990's, though they go back before that also. Oh and do look at the ones he lost in Germany and Scotland as well.

But its not untrue...Trump has been convicted of at least 9 crimes already and been charged with dozens more which carry likely convictions just based on the evidence already known. Now, add in what Trumps attorney agreed with the Supreme Court Justices on just recently in which past President Trump was told that for the crime of engaging in an Insurrection, Trump will be Citizen Trump, not President and thus has no immunity from causing or participating in it at any level, which opened his client to multiple other previously charged crimes; there is quite a bit of evidence of Trump engaging in multiple crimes actually, even if some if his deluded followers don't want to recognize it.

You see, the problem.is, if Tucker does ask uncomfortable questions and continues to do so after Putin says stop...well, he's not in America where there is Freedom if the Press, he's in Russia, an enemy of the U.S. A. and in Russia the ONLY word that counts is Vladimir Putins....and he could just order him chopped or shot.

He said quote " go up to the Capitol and fight like hell because if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a Country anymore. "

They could Google "v. Trump". Then start reading.

As I have said ad nauseum I am and vote Independent. Frankly I hope Nikki Haley wins the Republican ticket. I think the shock of being President is too much for 76+ year olds. What we need are younger viable candidates, and if neither the Republicans nor Democrats can supply them, perhaps some new Parties could form to present more choices.

Yes, detached from your insanity .

Not quite. I listened very closely to what the Justices said when they questioned Mr. Trump's attorney on whether or not the attorney agreed that the rioters - as the attorney referred to the Insurrectionists as -were guilty of the crime of Insurrectionist in that they broke into the Capitol but not necessarily Mr. . Trump because in his Presidential.official last moments in Office he claimed he was immune. The Justices notably did not say President Trump was immune, the only asked if anyone was found to have participated in that event, did Mr. Trumps attorney on behalf if Mr/Past President Trump agree those rioters were acting in violation of the law of that location and event and he said Yes. So...the question those rioters/Insurrectionists will now be asking their friends, families, attorneys will be is Did President Trump KNOW that even if HE personally was physically at the riot/insurrection, DID he think he would still have total immunity as he claims and therefore was running no personal risk to HIS freedom, HIS going to prison, but didn't care that those with him COULD? This then argues that he does not care about his followers, he just wanted rioters to break into the Capitol to stop the Electoral College from confirming Joseph Biden as President and knew that those same rioters would very possibly be all arrested and didn't care, or possibly be seriously hurt or killed in the commission of that and those acts. Its important then that Mr./President Trump's attorney, by the SCOTUS , was asked specifically this very question and answered YES. So all those who went to prison, don't look to be getting out, Mr. Trump may beat HIS rap.on a technicality, and MAY is the word here, but you won't . And the SCOTUS is not going to let anyone who it can be proved was there and participated in the Riot/Insurrection be given any leeway now, you participated , no matter Who it was at the direction of , or incitement to act in that way, YOU are GUILTY as charged. Your Life is ruined, Mr. Trumps attorney today agreed so.

So eloquent a melancholy speaker deserves his just reward, just be sure they are there.

I have often believed that Trump is nothing more than another Con Man like the ones who used to travel the back roads of rural America towing a big carnival tent and a few dozen old folding chairs , a one shop printing press and some hootch moonshine to spike the punch. He sets up and begins printing out flyers for The Biggest Preaching and when he draws the inevitable crowd, and they drink up the spiked punch, he begins telling them all their troubles can be fixed by " rattling' the cages of them boys in Washington". and if you send HIM there, why he will fix it in no time because ONLY he knows the ONE WAY to fix it....God told him so. Meanwhile he and his partner, A weather-beaten old faced liar Dr McGinkle who will sell you SUCH a TONIC that will cure your rheumatism and really improve your life, only $1 (or as much as he thinks he can squeeze) A bottle, All Proceeds Going To Get Me, YOUR FRIEND to Congress where I will shake down their doors for you my friends...". These cons were regularly caught by county Sheriff's and Police, so who next was on the Con's list of devils? The PO..lice...Defund the POlice. " and next " The Justice System heeds changing", Yeah, right...but Donald it only works on uneducated people....and a good part of the country have 4 year degrees or have a strong combination of a professional background and certificates in various related fields equalling the same. How does the Preacher get rid of these strong leaders? Next he picks on Unions because they keep wages high for the best workers, those who have good work backgrounds and some beyond high school education, A certificate . Many with bachelor degrees also get certificates, the more you have, the better the money you can make so you eat normal does and beans for years to get them. Its the Union workers, and the degree people working together who kept this country strong, but Con Men, they see such strength as an obstacle to their Con Game....and the sad thing is, A lot of down home good honest plain people get ripped off by these Cons, who...when they cease to be of value to the Con, get tossed under the bus....and He denies knowing you.

I see, show you facts, you throw them out. Show you truth, you turn it into insults. I am done with you. I am very convinced you are nothing more than a hacker here to turn Americans against each other by posting conspiracies . I will no long anger respond to anything you say or post.

So far the Criminal Con Man Grifter in Chief has only proven one thing...HIS followers are as stupid as he paints them; they continue to pour in money thinking its for his campaign, when in fact his campaign is only fund raising for his continued criminal activity and a road show for the Media. Certainly the Courts are not impressed.

The razor wire I have seen comes in 500 foot rolls, it took two soldiers with metal grippers in the 1970's to pull it apart, I doubt a woman could do so on land or underwater if coiled. It's much stronger than barbed wire. But the point is, you cannot pull in it with bare hands at all, it slices right through fingers and whatever other body parts that come in contact with it. It's devilish stuff. Also, try hiking down a river someday that weaves around a jagged boundary like the Texas border with Mexico which the Rio Grande IS in multiple areas. It is not a straight river, pulling any wire so it rests carol the river in one place means it will be under water in others. You will recall a few months ago I told you I did precious ( and other) minerals prospect ing through my college days and more again much later in life. Some if the earlier open areas had, since I last prospects on them in the 70's become privately.owned and yet had not listed boundary markers, so I ran into (almost) razor wire in place s people were doing things they didn't want the Public principally law enforcement to see. When such people also cut you.off from getting to your claim in a piece if land by blocking the only Revere road going in with that damn wire such that you get two front tires hooked in it because it was at ankle level, you learn what its like cutting it free with bolt cutters while it snaps back at you under high coiled tension. When I later reported the incident, I was told " it was likely that there militia group, they dont like visitors", rather like Governor Abbott who I suspect is less concerned than you about whether people he hates are getting hurt on public federally owned property.

First...I am not a "kid", in all.likelihood I am.old enough to have met your grandfather at the door tongue nursery school parking lot, I would have been the one dating his teacher. My grandfather fought in the Spanish American war. So sorry there youngster. On the rest, your usual attempts to claim false history as real doesn't impress me.

I tend to think a part of the current border crisis came when then President Trump decided to build a solid Wall between two friendly countries who were previously trying to deal, not with a politically made worse problem on the border, to make a greedy politician look good.... but a water crisis which stemmed from the 1940 water treaty which has been giving Texas for decades unfair amounts of the water from the Rio Grande to Texas farmers while scrwing the Mexican farmers of a fair share and refusing to renegotiate said treaty despite multiple promises to do so by multiple Texas governors. Trump stepped into that and in exchange for votes for himself, 'fixed the problem' by putting up a Wall which also cut further into the Water rights allowed to Mexican farmers. The bad blood caused by Trump's action rippled from Mexico to all points south whose inhabitants, seeing their countries encouraged to destroy themselves by fueling our USA insatiable DRUG Lords billionaires by forming their own drug cartels to carve themselves out their own drug empires in Central and South America -as pretty much the only industry there now...and during whuch- meanwhile our billionaires are robbing their countries of every resource, every mineral, and reducing them to an agrarian geography now serves to steal their fair share of water...resulting in destroying their countries ! And you have the Gaul to claim President Obama who didn't even take office until 2009!

Per the SCOTUS blog for Jan 22, 2024 , Texas prevented the U. S. Border Patrol agents from moving the many ..."rolls of razor wire that Texas Governor Abbot had ordered placed alongside the Rio Grande River, as a woman and two children were injured in the same area,", , part of this area is water, the rest us dry land. So, if the wire, which always comes tightly coiled and must be pulled apart with great strength , runs along thevruver, parts of it will be IN the water and part will be on dry land. The initial police report as reported on lical news gave the victims as being brought to safety from the river, not the river bed. Much more interesting reading on Governor Abbott versus the 1940 Water Treaty between Texas and Mexico brings a lot if facts edited out of the current real problems between Texas Governors and Mexico's President s regarding water to farmers. I researched part of it for my response.

And I suppose you are one of the fake FOX News reporters who claimed the criminals who attempted to capture and hold for ransom with plastic zip ties as binding , duly Elected Officers of the Country-- were just there as tourists instead of terrorists attempting to kidnap and possibly injure or even kill them until those terrorist demands were met? ( and in the background we hear "Hang Mike Pence! Hang Mike Pence!").? and a noose hanging from a scaffold carried in with the terrorists? that was for what? Hanging a salami for later lunch? Maybe you think breaking through windows to Federal Buildings by throwing chairs and metal gates against them until they break, so you and your friends can climb through them to enter a locked federal building is totally.okay instead of a felony breaking and entering crime? Better stay in Canada, we call those crimes HERE in America.

And who started that flood if humanity? It was NOT President Obama ...it was Donald J. Trump, Chief Racist of the GOP who started all the name calling and insults directed at Mexico.

Wrong...again. The wire IS in the river, under the water! That's what Governor Abbot did. On his own Actually it is his lack of human decency in his attempts to control the problems at the Border by installing a concealed murder device where it was certain to.murder people that IS the problem.

Since the blm/Floyd riots have nothing to to with the Attempted takeover of my Country by people who planned a Dictatorship to replace it and who planned and executed a federal crime.in doing so versus protests for racial.injustice ....I think your reaction to the whole thing, that it warrants smiley faces and an appalling! lack of respect for the Capitol Police and other defenders , shows you can't determine right or wrong any better than Trump.

Oddly enough, the polls show that whole they do want the problems fixed, they don't think closing the border is the way to do it and 6 of 10 think Governor Abbott methods are appalling and illegal. Those are not Democrat polls either.
