By the time this war is over, Ukrainian farmers will comprise one of the largest tank corps in the world.


Being as innovative and resourceful as they are, those farmers see those tanks as nothing but tractors with these long pipes sticking out of them for their children to enjoy riding on while plowing their fields.

Yeah makes sense that Ukranians, already struggling with Russia, would decide this is a great time to attack Belarus for no reason. Conservative logic in a nutshell and they wonder why people are no longer interested in entertaining their opinions.
More retarded false flags…
But dont take my word for it brandon will be in here to educate os on the subject within the hour.

As always and forever, the Repub's politicians and their agitprop ministry's manic fetish for promoting and defending Trump is blinding them to the negative consequences of their actions.

But seeing as if their party is in effect a closed off fascist society that believes democracy and Our Constitution that is its foundation is their sworn enemy, what do they care about how they're being perceived by the rest of the world when the only thing that matters is the survival of a party that has cut itself off from the real world in favor of a fake one that makes them feel good about themselves?

You think Brandonbull is in prison or something? It’s odd how he always post a bunch of shit in a row and then leaves.
I've had BrandonBullShit on Ignore for a really long time. Suddenly (I dive in here now) I see something like 10 posts in a row all quoting him and putting him down, blah blah, so I show his content to see WTH is going on. He's evidently an internet terrorist dropping completely unsupportable absurd bombs. He's staying on ignore for me.

Meanwhile Russia's #1 propagandist....



View attachment 58487

Putins pulling the same disinformation type campaign he did in Syria. He's so perdictable


Somebody needs to ask these traitors Hannity and Carlson - “Maybe you think the Russians are justified in attacking American bases. Me? I’m someone who loves my country and I would never say that foreigners was justified in attacking Americans. But I suppose you have a constitutional right though to say what you want. Just like Jane Fonda did when she was cheering on the North Vietnamese.”

Fox News is an actual Russian propaganda outlet now, and if you watch it, you’re basically helping the enemy. So, enjoy that, I guess. And it’s starting to work. In Trumplandia, a more or less solid support for Ukraine is starting to falter with the idea that maybe Russia was justified in their invasion if Ukraine was developing bio-weapons. It’s always sold as a possibility, but as long as that possibility exists, it creates doubt. This is one of the reasons why Putin thought he could get away with his Ukraine adventure. With a right-wing media environment primed to trust him and distrust whatever comes from a Democratic-run government, he could start putting up whatever his propaganda ministry thought might work, and then - if it doesn’t work - pivot in real time to the next thing they can think of.

Meanwhile, Urkraine’s and the West’s ability to reach his populace, who are primed to believe nothing - including what Putin’s government says, has been significantly degraded. Ukraine has played the information war perfectly up until now, but as we settle in for the long siege, Putin’s going to keep working on our fifth column. And, conservative media, traitors that they are, are going to lap it up and send it out to their loyal viewers. Our most popular news network is basically Tokyo Rose.

"A thorough review of a four-hour, 21-minute security camera video of the attack reveals that Russian forces repeatedly fired heavy weapons in the direction of the plant's massive reactor buildings, which housed dangerous nuclear fuel. Photos show that an administrative building directly in front of the reactor complex was shredded by Russian fire. And a video from inside the plant shows damage and a possible Russian shell that landed less than 250 feet from the Unit 2 reactor building."

Swear to god I just want to do the Iran deal now if only to fuck over MBS.

Uh-oh. Then you'll have a rabidly angry Israel and its myriad of supporters around the world to contend with.

Personally, I have no doubt that Iran is definitely desperate to obtain nukes. And that their leadership will attempt to use them against the Jewish State. Israel has a right to defend itself.

It's just too bad that the U.S. and some of its allies were goaded into invading and destroying Iraq in 2003. Iraq did not have any nukes and could not possibly build one.

People forget that the Israeli air force destroyed Iraq's under-construction Osirik nuclear reactor in 1981.

Its military was contained, the country was controlled by non-fly zones and its populace were starved and fearful due to sanctions.

Iraq posed a threat to no one. But Netanyahu wanted it completely defanged and Bush the Second bought into his lies.

Totally agree.

Totally disagree. Nuke Israel, your regime is DONE. They want them for regime survival, imo. Same as NK.

The Q's have alway believed that things will get so bad that Biden will simply give up and admit defeat as Donald Trump returns to save the day and to be welcomed by the American people. And Fox refers to the good days when we had a "strong president" because Putin would never have dared to invade during Trump. :rolleyes:

So for the Q's this is all very exciting stuff, i.e. the wars, the deaths, the Ukrainians fleeing for their lives. And all part of what the Q's call THE GREAT AWAKENING i.e. the greatness of Donald Trump, savior and messiah.
We haven't heard from Donald lately, I suspect he is getting all spruced up waiting on the sidelines for his entrance queue.

His body language also exudes "everything is going according to plan and I am unbothered".

Not sure if it’s the specific video clip, but he does not look comfortable as some who is being told, “everything is going to plan” and we have told you “every day this week.” His fidgets are very noticeable.
