Is lying reflexive to you? Widespread election fraud, the kind that can affect outcomes does not exist.

You've been told this 300 times yet you keep lying.

Individual acts of fraud are being committed by Republicans. At least 90% of it. Yet the only person I know jailed is a black woman.

Welcome to America


According to Dank69 you are wrong on this one. He basically proclaimed the reason Mitch and Rand were only elected due to massive election fraud. Take it up with him.

TLDR: (assuming all of the medical speculation isnt disinformation from factions within rus) steroid cancer treatment can cause puffy face, weaken immune system requiring others to maintain distance from him, and develop extreme paranoia.

no addressing of the tremors, slouching in chair, or rigid right arm suggesting parkinsons so not exhaustive investigation.

Apparently blood cancer according to some oligarch who was secretly recorded.


That would totally explain isolation, weakness, not willing to risk an infection and staying far away from everyone at his table. Putty probably just finished chemo before the invasion began.

For me the most impressive part was when it went dead silent about 3:05 after he threw the grenade, the Orcs must have been closer than they thought after multiple 40mm grenade rounds farther out did nothing but that one hand grenade toss did the job.

Oh and totally held my breath when the camera feed went black at 2:20

Good job Finland.

That also means we can dial up Putins Crackpot Meter up another notch. He wants to rally India and China behind him in a new axis facing off the west…. Before we discount that, may China begin viewing Russia as a buffer and to that degree functionally back it up as such? Maybe like NK?

I don't care at all what Russia thinks. Their army is a joke and the bigwigs are fools. Thanks to Putin and his great success in Ukraine he will soon have about 1300 km more border with NATO. Was this his plan all along? What a fool...

Only if it was his plan to also waste/deplete/trash the majority of his elite/special forces that were put down in the blitz attempt on Kiev?
Think of a US military strategy that involves sacrificing all of special forces towards a grander objective… and that grander objective will be taken by conscripts that havent figured out the busy end of their mosin yet.

The full scale of this Russian setback is emerging only now, with satellite imagery showing more than 70 Russian tanks, armored personnel carriers and other armor destroyed after Ukrainian artillery and airstrikes sank three pontoon bridges and shelled the Russian beachhead in Bilohorivka.

“We have never seen such dumb stubbornness, going with a frontal assault and trying to build pontoons in the same place three times in a row. But they still keep trying,” said Luhansk Gov. Serhiy Haidai. He added that Ukrainian artillery keeps shelling the area and, according to intelligence intercepts, an entire Russian battalion is refusing orders to attempt yet another crossing in Bilohorivka. That claim couldn’t be independently confirmed.

The retreat of Russian forces from areas north of Kharkiv is covered by poorly armed recruits drafted in the Luhansk People’s Republic. In a video released on Telegram on Friday, these fighters said that their battalion, which fled to the Russian border north of Kharkiv, was stranded at the gate, with Russian authorities refusing to let them cross and threatening to imprison them if they don’t turn around and fight.

This can't be good for troop morale. And probably not a good way to win support in the areas where you claim you're wanted.

After Ukraine's win in the Eurovision, Zelenskyy says next years contest will be held in Mariupol...

It's a lovely idea to imagine the city still exists, but reality will be very different and far more sombre. Or rather... macabre.
That'd be like holding Eurovision at Auschwitz. Or some other sort of mass grave site.

Mariupol is more like a memorial now.
