...ok, let's see...let's add up all the times I posted in favor of the "47 genders" and related stupidity...
...carry the two, don't forget the double check the work...
...and...
...huh! None!
But hey, orange s**tboi has declared that Ukraine "started the war" when every single rational person...even in the GOP...knows and states otherwise. So, should we be getting ready for "big, beautiful furry hats" from the "very smart, brilliant" Vlad? He's been an outspoken fan for several years, now!
I'm sure his voters are proud to be Vlad's little minions!
Wait, we failed to protect our QB in big games, again?
MAYBE THERE'S A LESSON HERE.

(again, practically every news agency has the same story, with the same quotes)
"Trump's comments - some of which appeared to mirror common Russian talking points about the war - came just hours after US officials met with a Russian delegation in Riyadh to open talks to end the conflict, which has raged for almost three years.
Zelensky later accused Trump of "living in a disinformation space" created by Russia."
But...according to everyone that ISN'T suckling on Putin's teet:
"Ukraine didn't start the war. Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, having annexed Crimea in 2014.
The annexation came after Ukraine's pro-Russian president was ousted by popular demonstrations."
"Russia also backed proxy forces who seized areas of eastern Ukraine, and it accused the new government in Kyiv of discrimination and genocide against Russian speakers. The International Court of Justice has rejected Moscow's claims."
So...I just shudder to think of the others that remember the cold war, and Russia's love of disinformation; as long as orange boi is in there to parrot Vlad's talking points, Russia's winning in our highest office. You start reading the tea leaves here and it's obvious Z doesn't want peace. As I've said before, every politician in Ukraine has been a grifter at some level and I think Z is likely one of the bigger grifters of the bunch. And while this proxy war has been fun to watch as it diminishes Russia's military (I was wondering if they would resort to horseback fighters again), it's time to put this to an end. Z's public demands that a peace plan must involve NATO admission AND pre-2014 borders is a non-starter. When he first started to make these demands, I thought he was just negotiating. Trump does that stuff all the time. Stake out a position you know won't be met and you don't atually want, and than "compromise". But the unlitateral negotiations tell me the US views Z as an obstacle to peace. Ukraine clearly isn't going to get Crimea back (pre-2014). The people that live there are mainly RUSSIAN. They don't want to be annexed by the Ukraine again particularly as the Ukraine has moved closer to the West. Who keeps Donbas is the real question as is protection for the Ukraine going forward.
The problem will be Z. Bottom line is he's running on borrowed time. If he doesn't receive foreign aid, the Ukraine will be overrun in it's entirety fairly swiftly after the Western weaponry gets depleted. As I said above, having done business in that region...everybody has their hand out. I can't imagine Z is any different and has padded his pockets throughout the war. He's a likeable character from his Entertainment days and his troops have fared admirably under his direction. But...it's time to end this killing nonsense.

WOW...you drank that tea down to the damp little leaves in the cup!
As I still have people in the region, none of them (shocker!) want any part of just handing over people/territory to a horrible, massive bully state with imperial ambitions and a completely rabid leader determined to bring the bad old days back before he's gone. Russia kept border skirmishes/incidents going for years, worked to keep "Russian sympathy" going with their planted people, and simple started annexing/mass murdering when their quieter approaches failed.
Russia can have NO say whether Ukraine joins the EU and/or NATO, and should not have mass murder/rape rewarded...
...at least, that's the truth for anyone with a shred of decency and/or ethics. Russia has shown to be a truly massive, criminal country with assassinations, annexing, complete dishonesty, shameless targeting of civilians (gotta test those hypersonic missiles on someone!), and even a willingness to send hundreds of thousands of their own people (and North Koreans, why not?) into the shredder just to...be a huge, murderous bully state.
Compared to Putin...hell, or Trump and Big Boy...Z's less corrupt, and his assets have been probed regularly; his net worth is up to $20 million, and he's visibly working with and for his people constantly. Let's compare that to Vlad and his suckling puppet, Don...that'd be fun, right?
The orange embarrassment is a constant liar on a "revenge tour", and Putin kicked off a war heading for 7 digits' worth of casualties.
I have no illusions that Zelensky is an innocent, but I know what I read and hear from sources all over...and he's exponentially better than his billionaire detractors.
It's almost as if...there's some big forces that are trying to justify their interests in the natural resources, agriculture, geography, and other aspects of a vulnerable country...!
Hmmm...!

At what point do you become a realist though Z? There is NO international support for anything (aid, weapons, troops) that involves Crimea. That was previously Russia and is Russia now. Zelensky insisting that pre-2014 borders are the only thing he'll negotiate is just saying he doesn't want peace. He knows its not going to happen. Even with the increase in aid and weaponry, the Ukrainians are losing territory little by little. At some point, the aid will stop...particularly from the US where the aid is unsecured and not required to be paid back. We can't / wont keep sending weapons with no end in sight and no promises of repayment. The Europeans were at least smart enough to get guarantees.
That brings us to Donbas. We will likely push for some exchange of territory for commitments on not pushing for Ukraine in NATO. A reality is that NATO membership would likely never happen even if there was no agreement. NATO membership requires approvals from all 30 countries in NATO. Do you see ALL of them agreeing to admit Ukraine? I would anticipate some form of defense arrangement for Ukraine from the US and Europe should Russia violate the newly established borders. Russia just doesn't want to see a bunch of permanent offensive / defensive weapons on their border.
In terms of Zelensky's wealth, I'm sure it's more than the $20M verifiable. There's still lots of opportunities to hide money in cash / assets, Swiss / Caribbean banks, crypto or shell companies.

So, your stance is to reward mass murder/rape, somehow forget that Russia has broken MANY agreements and assume new ones will matter now, and to reward our lying filth monger president for the fact that he's likely to be one of the holdouts against Ukraine's NATO membership...because orange boi was waxed positively bro-love over the "brilliant" Putin for years?
Huh.
Oh, and Z is answerable to your speculations, yet you've repeatedly waved off obvious and ongoing lies from our embarrassment in the Oval Office.
Not impressive.
