The Biden administration is working to reach a deal with Ukraine for long-term military support to keep backing the war with Russia that would be difficult for a future president to exit, The Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday.
The effort is part of a commitment made by G7 nations at the recent NATO summit in Vilnius to negotiate their own bilateral security deals with Ukraine. Besides the G7 nations, 18 other countries have agreed to provide long-term military support for Kyiv.
The idea of the long-term commitment is to show Russia that it can’t wait out the Biden administration. The Journal report reads: “Western officials are looking for ways to lock in pledges of support and limit future governments’ abilities to backtrack, amid fears in European capitals that Donald Trump, if he recaptures the White House, would seek to scale back aid.”
Trump, who escalated US involvement in Ukraine during his term by taking the step to provide Javelin missiles, has said he would end the Ukraine war within “24 hours” if elected in 2024. The former president is the current frontrunner for the Republican nomination.
The Journal report acknowledged that the Biden administration could not legally bind a future president from exiting a deal with Ukraine, but Republican hawks in Congress could make it difficult. During his time as president, Trump withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal, but the majority of Republicans in Congress supported exiting the agreement.
A US official told the Journal that one proposal being considered for Ukraine would be a memorandum of understanding (MOU), which would not require congressional approval. President Biden has previously floated the idea of an “Israel model” for Ukraine. The US provides Israel with $3.8 billion in military aid each year under a 10-year MOU but does not provide mutual defense guarantees. The Journal report said that French officials have suggested military aid commitments for Ukraine should be over a four-year period.
The great purveyor of “our democracy is in danger” wants to hamstring future winners of the democratic process regarding Ukraine.
It is good that they are worried enough about the election to try something like this. But anyone who was paying attention when Trump was in office should realize that commitments made by previous Presidents don’t mean much to him.
Trump could give a shit.
It is the same guy who uses the “justice” department to defeat political rivals so I guess it is to be expected
Yes, the Deep State pre-empting an anticipated threat, i.e., democratic elections.
His criminal enterprise is in danger, but will be swept under the rug shortly..
If his rival wasn’t a criminal, he wouldn’t be able to “use” the Justice Department on him…
They’re ALL criminals. It’s a matter of degree. And the guy getting prosecuted by the Justice Department ain’t the most corrupt of the two.
He’s the one who’s been indicted so he’s winning the corruption contest.
If the DOJ were as corrupt as he is…the guy with 20 plus shell corporations, millions in grift from Ukrainians, secret email accounts with aliases to facilitate saying he never discussed “business” with his son (as if his son had any more business acumen than he has artistic talent – anonymous art buyers, anonymous donors)… indeed he could, especially as he and the corrupt DOJ are already on the same deep state page. Innocence is no protection against indictment by a corrupt regime.
All of which is in your head.
Is Q gonna save you?
Rationally thinking, over 80 different charges sounds like Trotsky’s enforcement of right-think under red justice.
One does not have to be Trump supporter to notice the weirdness of the campaign to remove him from politics. It is all so iver the top — enough said.
80 different charges are because he committed — at least — 80 different crimes. Many of which he did in plain sight. Many of which he admitted. You HAVE to be a cultist to believe he didn’t commit at least SOME of these crimes.
💯
Not just Ukraine. Not by a long shot.
That corundum for our “de-mock-rocy” should be put to Biden. Let’s see how long this dissidence plays out. My guess is he will never be asked the question.
“Biden Looks to Prevent Future President From Ending Ukraine War”
Perhaps Joey Biden fails to know that when he is out of office his power goes to zero and Hunter goes to prison.
I seriously doubt anything will happen with Hunter, Ukraine and Biden. The uniparty is invested in coups (a newer one in Pakistan now). If details in full were released, the ugliness of the process would be laid bare for all to see. They’d have to acknowledge that these are cold hearted operations and not organically grown local uprisings. This is why, in my opinion, there was widespread nonpartisan cover up of the entire affair. Both parties are deeply invested in Intervention and war. And if politicians and their benefactors make bank, all the better as far as they are concerned.
That’s my opinion, I could be wrong, but you had the FBI, CIA, and most news media providing cover. I guess we’ll see.
First, we lost all hope and all we had was wishful thinking. Now you want to take wishful thinking away from us, ED? …Wait!? Ugh… I just realized I couldn’t even call you, ED. Sorry. It’s Existential Dread. LOL. I’m just kidding! (Sarcasm)
NA I did the same thing without even realizing it 😭
I’m not offended by it.
I’ll call you X from now on 🙂
It makes me sound like a Musk product. 😉
Maybe I’m completely wrong. But the media is not what it used to be, the muckrakers are small independents who tech obliterates through algorithms. I expect in 10 or 20 years, some of it will come out in a book or released files, and no one will apologize for their part. That’s if the human race still exists by then.
Editing to add, since Bill’s comment disappeared for some reason: And then you have organizations that try to stop funding of independents like paypal, gofundme or other payment systems. Everything is so incredibly rigged toward establishment media.
Not to mention government “suggestions” of censorship on large scale social media.
Biden… President for Death.
I’ll bet anyone the Orangeman is in prison before Hunter. Any takers?
“to show Russia that it can’t wait out the Biden administration” – what a nonsense. As if anyone in Russia cares about that.
Biden has already found a marble block to carve his promise. Too bad he lost his a long time ago.
Well, so much for the old-fashioned idea that Congress holds any power in the war-making decisions of our government. I think the last time that Congress issued a declaration of war was in 1941, and I doubt it will ever happen again.
Meanwhile the US wars go on and on and multiply like fruit flies on a ripe banana.
More and more like Orwell’s 1984 everyday.
Eastasia next …
We’ve always been at war with Eastasia!
“Biden Looks to Prevent Future President From Ending Ukraine War” Translation: Biden Looks to Prevent Future President From Ever Unseating Him AS THE MOST DERANGED, SLIMY, DEMENTED, EVIL, AND CORRUPT PRESIDENT EVER! But, do this and the Democrats would have to get the credit for the worst party ever–even unseating the John McCain Republicans from those same labels forever. (Sarcasm)
I don’t know about EVER. It is a pretty close contests between all the leaders in my lifetime with the possible exception of Jimmy Carter or JFK who had Cuba.
makes me wanna puke…
beam me up scotty,ive been here long enough
LOL. Good one. But, don’t bother. Sarmat will scatter your atoms into the universe before Scotty is even born. (Sarcasm)
The old and soon to be improved minuteman will fix Satan by a new name; Sentinel. Two identical tools of terrorism but with different names changes everything…Dripping sarcasm.
LOL. Love you, man! Is it only me who feels a bit optimistic that we still have enough nuclear weapons to finish the job? It feels like that’s the only way to true serenity. It’s a thought that warms my heart. Why resist? It eliminates the need for meditation, worry, anxiety, depression, and war, all at once. Gimme more Doomsday Machines! Look at all the PEOPLE JUST BEGGING FOR IT! Give them what they WANT! (Dripping Enough Nuclear Sarcasm for ya?)
Its the prefect storm abrewin’ and nukes will just finish off the nightmare mess we created by our own selfish stupidity. Who will mourn the passing of humanity? Just the dog with a dog dish in its mouth is all…
The GBSD would replace the Minuteman III, which was first deployed in 1970, in the land-based portion of the US nuclear triad. The new missiles, to be phased in over a decade from the late 2020s, are estimated over a fifty-year life cycle to cost around $264 billion.
Only 264 billion, with cost overruns of course but what a bargain for the good guys. Now pay up sucka!
Sick bastard.
Says it all for me.
Maybe Biden could work out a deal with the devil to provide spiritual sustenance to the Western attempts to weaken & humble Russia after he is gone. One can be quite sure that the devil is not on very good terms with Russia and Putin especially because of Pope Francis praise of the Christian outlook of the once communist state. It seems that the Z-team is up for trying anything to turn the tides against Russia & Putin.
It very much appears both Russia and Ukraine are doing very little to show they know how to live as exemplary “Christian” nations. What the US is doing hanging on to their neighborly argument is a wicked thing in itself.
Although ‘christain soldier’ is an oxymoron, Russia’s intervention to stop a genocide will be remembered by right-thinking people..
Sure and all that $$$ will go to the Ukrainian Government in exile…
P.O. Box 10, Cayman Islands.
Not all of it, a high percentage boomerangs back.
Boomerang in form of toilet tissue
Campaign finance, rotating jobs between government and defense lobbying. Insider trading. “Nation building” with US corps. None of it really bounces back to US citizens. Plutocrats always win.
just proves that the guys who profit from making the bombs are the real men in power
This is how the Empire Of Lies functions.
Joe Biden is the poster boy for America’s dysfunctional culture …. dishonest, corrupt, hollow.
Trump, who escalated US involvement in Ukraine during his term by taking the step to provide Javelin missiles, has said he would end the Ukraine war within “24 hours” if elected in 2024. The former president is the current frontrunner for the Republican nomination.
“So what should be the response?” Bartiromo asked. “You said you could end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours. How would you do that?
“I know Zelensky very well. I felt he was very honorable because when they asked him about the perfect phone call that I made, he said it was indeed, he said it was. He didn’t even know what they were talking about. He could have grandstanded–” Trump said before Bartiromo cut him off. “That’s not going to be enough for Putin to stop bombing,” she pointed out. Trump then explained how he would get Russia and Ukraine to end their conflict. “I know Zelenskyy very well, and I know Putin very well, even better. And I had a good relationship, very good with both of them. I would tell Zelenskyy, no more. You got to make a deal. I would tell Putin, if you don’t make a deal, we’re going to give him a lot. We’re going to [give Ukraine] more than they ever got if we have to. I will have the deal done in one day. One day,” Trump responded.
And there is the Don’s plan. Brilliant. So, if they sit down and can’t reach an agreement, does Don cut off Volod or does Don feed Volod?
I’m so glad you mentioned it. Yes! I saw that. We are in so much trouble. I thought RFK Jr. was an option until I heard his views on Israel. Dude, He turned out to be more Zionist than any Israeli could be themselves. It seems EVERY American Politician has cheese for brains. Some don’t smell as bad until you get close, but they all are just as rotten and just the same! No hope and no wishful thinking. I already had no hope and then Existential Dread took away all my wishful thinking this morning. (Sarcasm)
I tend to believe that the powerful AIPAC pushed him against the wall to cut his throat and take him out of the way. He is not a savvy politician and the establishment wanted to get rid of him. He has been pretty much silenced.
Not to forget, his father and uncle were assassinated when he was a teenager.
When pushed, he usually caved in to the DS in some way, anyhow. Mr. Trump is no savior, like his minions often think he is.
Any fool that believes a word that any politician R or D says deserves anything they get.
An old Trump problem, he can’t present any rational thought, no more than Biden. Only Trump has the charisma of a conman.
Yes, we are doomed.
Unless there is some change and some sane leadership pops up.
There is, Lysi!
He’s the Green Party candidate and his name is Dr. Cornel West 🙂
I am afraid they do him as they did RJK Jr. , preventing even any meaningful public discourse.
They don’t have to. Cornel doesn’t have an “R” or “D” next to his name.
On point, as usual. We have no intelligent, effective, ethical leadership in either of the two wings of the war party. Full stop.
And I might add we are not going to elect anybody worth voting for.
Aw jeeeez….all we need is another parasite to support 😡
But don’t worry, they break the deals anyway.
Deals made with the USA, regardless of party, are deals written on toilet tissue. they are meaningless .
I might add used toilet paper.
A controversial statement by NATO’s Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg confirmed that the Ukraine War “didn’t start in 2022”, “The war started in 2014”
NATO’s Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg confirmed (speaking on behalf of NATO) that the “war didn’t start in 2022”. “The war started in 2014”
In an interview with The Washington Post, May 9, 2023, Jens Stoltenberg unequivocally confirmed that “the war started in 2014″.
The legal implications of Stoltenberg’s statements are far-reaching. The beginning of the Ukraine war coincided with a U.S. sponsored Coup d’état. Having stated that “the war started in 2014”, and has been ongoing since 2014 as confirmed by Stoltenberg, Russia’s Special Military Operation cannot be categorized as an “illegal invasion” (under Article 2(4) of the UN Charter).
NATO can no longer claim that Russia’s Special Military Operation (SMO) of February 24, 2022 constitutes, from a legal standpoint, “an invasion”. As the war started in 2014, Art 2(4) applies to both the Kiev Nazi regime as well as US-NATO which was behind the February 2014 illegal Coup D’état.
From a legal standpoint, US-NATO on behalf and in coordination with the US sponsored Nazi regime had initiated a war against Luhansk and Donesk. Legally this was not “An Act of War against Russia”. this was an “Act of War against Ukraine and the People of Ukraine”.
President Putin had defined a Special Military Operation (SMO) in support of the breakaway republics of Donetsk and Luhansk. The stated objective was to “demilitarise” and “denazify” Ukraine.
Article 51 of the UN Charter confirms that “Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defence if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations, Russia’s SMO complies with the exercise of self defense.
That the US/EU and NATO sponsored the 2014 EuroMaidan Coup d’état was an illegal and criminal act.
And nothing will happen. He said that in May. Crickets.
But Ukraine and any allies it is helped by cannot really commit “war” against itself. It would, at worst, be legally an internal police action against rebelling regions of a recognized UN state, which is an allowed and common use of force.
Stoltenberg’s point was likely that Russia began the war against Ukraine by proxy in 2014, and then openly in 2022. That he’s a lying scumbag and the warmongering organization he represents should have ended in 1991 and worked hard to provoke Russia into openly invading Ukraine does not mean that Russia did not invade a sovereign state.
if I am not mistaken, there was a referendum in the two republics to join Russia, and only then did the Russians start the SMO. The Russian Ukrainians voted for Russia, like the Germans in the Saarland did in 1955 for Germany.
They had the referendum in September 2022. In February, before the invasion, Russia recognized the independence of those two Donbass republics and signed an agreement with them which made Russian military help to Donbass republics legal according to the international law.
thanks for details.
No it does not make it “legal” … it only makes it understandable and perhaps justifiable, which are very different things.
It is no less legal than the agreement signed between, for example, US and Latvia.
Latvia is a recognized nation state in the UN with established borders, the same as Russia or Ukraine.
Donetsk is a self-declared entity recognized by no one. There is quite a difference therefore under UN law to which all of the nations mentioned (Russia, Ukraine, Latvia, US) are subject by treaties they freely agreed to.
Donbass republics were recognized by Russia and that is enough for them. Now they are part of Russian Federation. NATO can take them only if it defeats Russia.
Your ideas about what is legal and what is not are rather bizarre. In 2010 Yanukovich was elected as president of Ukraine. Over 90% of Donbass people voted for him. Why they should recognize as their head of state someone in Kiev who came to power as result of an unconstitutional coup sponsored from abroad? Of course they did not. The same as people of Crimea. Or you think anyone who can capture the administrative buildings in the capital, has automatically the right to rule over all citizens of the country and collect taxes from them?
While the original 2014 coup was indeed against the constitutional order, there have been democratic elections held since then. Thus, the people of Donbas could have participated in a democratic process to elect their president. So the current president is indeed the rightful leader of the entire country known internationally as Ukraine and he is treated as such by China, India, and all other nations.
Thought experiment: say the US uses propaganda and subversion to get the people of Hong Kong to hold a referendum and declare independence from China. Is that final and can the US or UK then attempt to move into Hong Kong to defend it from China?
What democratic elections you are talking about? Before those “elections” they burned people alive in Odessa and bombed Donbass.
Donbass republics had their referendums for independence a couple of weeks before those elections, so they were not a part of Ukraine already.
The regime of terror was installed in Ukraine everywhere where new neo-Nazi regime could do it.
I think the Russians will wind up with the Donbas after the war ends. Crimea though … not so much!
Screen name doesn’t check out.
UN law is written by idealists (thank the powers), but means nothing except in instances where the powerful agree.
Angels on the head of a pin.
The United Nations have become a pretty discredited institution since the US is deciding UN policies with help of their VETO power, economic power aka sanctions, and military power.
The USA is a lawless Pariah hegemon, no matter how you slice it.
Legal, smeagle… Sorry, but ever since the UN Security Council was made to be governed by veto, legal in the international sense became meaningless. The powerful dictate what is “legal” in reality, as opposed to what is legal in a courtroom. And I for one, exist in the real world, whether I like it or not. I tend to view inalienable human rights in the same vein as I view heaven.
You are a lot more practical than I am … I still think there’s value to having a standard of behavior to shoot for, even if the powerful ignore it. Otherwise, how do we get better?
Under the watchful eyes (and AK-47s) of the Russians.
I bet you loved those purple fingers of that so-called democratic election in Iraq, after we occupied it, didn’t you?
Two wrongs making a right? Deep argument there chief. We’re you captain of you high school debate team?
I am a true believer in self determination, whether for the people of the Donbas, Catalans, Kurds, etc. however … by international law, just because a section of a country declare themselves independent and holds a referendum to that effect does not make them independent and therefore eligible for recognition by others.
Russia basically did here what US/NATO did in Kosovo, unilaterally recognize a breakaway region as independent and moved in to guarantee their independence.
It became a problem after the regime change in 2014 when they denied the Russian speaking Ukrainians the official use of language, education and religions, treating them like second class citizens. Russia supported autonomy and an end of the civil war which the neo-Nazis and NATO opposed when they denied implementation of the Minsk agreements, it was not about breakaway republics, that came later.
If we are honest we admit that the USA/NATO gang did all they could to start the conflict with Clinton’s NATO expansions and encircling of Russia and now are doing all they can to keep it going.
Blaming Putin for it is a dud, the records prove it.
You are right; but many countries have similar problems: Kurds are not allowed to use their language in Iran, for example, and there are many other examples. Hell, for a while, English was the official language of California and had to be used exclusively in schools and for official business. This is a situation for negotiation and compromise over a long period of time (if one is interested in peace) and not demands and war.
Yes, USNATO wants/needs war, just like a shark needs to swim to breathe. I just wish Russia had found some way to deny them oxygen here.
The Minsk agreements included that kind of autonomy for Russian speaking Ukrainians to end the civil war. The US and the new fascist government did not support the agreements and did not implement them.
“Little Green Men” of the Russian MOD were part of all the separatist movements in Crimea/Donetsk/Luhansk. The SMO was launched to include the rest of Ukraine. No Nazi or NATO goblins required — except as an excuse.
Ukrainian state based upon Constitution stopped to exist after the coup 2014.
Russian invasion into Ukraine in 2022 didn’t violated the international law because, before the invasion, Russia recognized the independence of Donbass republics and signed with them appropriate agreements. According to the international law, Russia had right to do it. Maybe you are not aware that at the moment a part of Donetsk Republic is still occupied by Ukrainian/NATO militaries.
There is no such entity called the Donetsk Republic recognized by the UN.
Would you like to ask an independent nation, say China, whether they think the invasion of a recognized sovereign nation with established borders under the UN is legal or not?
The independent states are recognized only by other independent states. That’s how it works.
Every single regime change the US executed was and is illegal, starting with Iran and the 30 year brutal Shah dictatorship and the dozens of coups the US did, all to protect big corporate interests.
Elected left of center governments were removed and replaced with fascist dictators, they ruled brutally for decades.
Name one fascist dictator the US replaced with a successful democratic government, just one.
Japan?
But I get your point and do not disagree … all I’m saying is that it’s wrong when we do it and when Russia or anyone else does the same thing.
They could keep their emperor, and there is Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and an unconditional surrender. That was not a routine regime change .
But democracies are in trouble when big corporate money sits behind the curtain and pulls the strings.
We do have our very own double standards, I think that is human nature. In the end, it is all about money and power and we the people are left standing holding the bag.
Side note: Ukraine never declared its borders to the UN. They were negotiated entirely between it and one other state. Care to guess which state that was?
Well then there is no such entity called Taiwan, or the Republic of China, because the UN doesn’t recognize it.
Legal arguments are only relevant if the parties involved pay attention to them. The US and its satellite states have no time for the niceties of legal arguments. The US and its satellites are all about making and enforcing rules endorsed by self-affirming laws they pass as they go along.
Stoltenberg is just a male von der Leyen.
You are absolutely correct. And frankly, by ignoring UN national sovereignty laws multiple times, the US has done much to erode the rule of law.
However, as things stand, attacking a sovereign nation is indeed against the letter of UN laws …
Were the NATO/EUKRAIN military exercises, supplied and funded by NATO, legal? NATO troops were rotated routinely to keep the non NATO member Ukraine on the de facto status level.
Enough reason for the Russians to get ready for war. NATO members are deceptive. And they did, with or without Putin.
Except that they didn’t do that.
If elected Trump could just sign a Executive order and end all US aid to Ukraine , if a future president can`t end a pointless war whats the point in having a president ? .
As long as the US Congress continues to support Ukraine with money and weapons, the President as Chief Executive must execute that order
We have forever stamps at the Post Office. Now we have forever wars everywhere with no stoppage contemplated. That not only is our present that these MFs are fucking with,its our future also or lack of it.
The American tax payer ultimately losses because of this Ukraine war. That military support has to be paid by someone doesn’t it? The military industrial complex is in this to make a profit. While righting off expenses in the form of business tax breaks. In essence paying less taxes than the average tax payer. So the next time you hear that the administration and those hawks on the Republican side of the aisle want a forever war in Ukraine. Understand who’s footing the bill America.
LOL I wouldn’t worry about it if I were you, Biden. Russia will have Ukraine fully in control before the election.
While the MOU itself doesn’t require Congressional approval, the annual appropriation of the money it designates for Israel does. The MOU approach “works” in the case of Israel because of the Israeli lobby (aka “The Lobby”) behind the policy. The Ukraine has no such lobby. There is no long-established, well-positioned, ethno cultural group in favor of eternally fellating the Ukraine, as there is for Israel. Neither is there a half century or more history of cultural/propaganda/media/political/social campaiging for the Ukraine, as there is for Israel. Nor does the Ukraine figure in the deranged apocalyptic fantasies of evangelical Christians, as does Israel.
So, Joe Biden can sign whatever MOU with the Ukrainians that he likes. But, still, ultimately, the money has to come from the Congress. Right now, there is broad, bipartisan support for the war in and out of Congress. But there was, once upon a time, broad bi partisan support in and out of Congress for the war in SE Asia, and for the war in Afghanistan. People get tired of war, especially war that does not appear to be successful. And that goes on for too long. And any MOU that Biden signs can be renounced by a new President, as well.
When has a US military conflict been successful, and how did that impact how long it lasted? The MIC WILL have its “wars”, to last as long as possible, and Congress will make sure it happens..
And then they walk away leaving a trail of blood, death , and ruined failed states behind.
The US is moving closer and closer to the failed state/democracy grand finale.
What can a future President do if Congress orders him or her by more than the 2/3rds majority to stop support for Ukraine in all forms? Violate a Congressional mandate? Is that not a violation of oath hence cause for impeachment and removal?
I voted for Biden in 2020 to be rid of Trump. Not this time. G-D D*mn F*cking H*ll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But of course the GOP is giggling with glee because they would do the same thing. It is all about Empire. Chalmers Johnson wrote about it, as have others. Concerns to keep an Empire wind up killing off the Empire. I don’t want Empire. I want PEACE! I am so enraged!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who is heading the Biden administration? This looks and smells like a Nuland product.
Wow! I think you’re right! Let’s do the math. There’s no way Biden thinks he’s not winning the next election. So this must be a “Deep$hitState” inside job. …That’s not math? …No wonder I failed math in high school. (Sarcasm)
I smell cookies, Lysi!
This administration is like a coven of witches. A pack of rats or and infestation of roaches or termites.
Biden is a willing participant. He needs no leading. Maybe too damn senile to think of the shit himself but it is the shit he would be thinking if his mind wasn’t the consistency of pudding.
Can’t have a democratic debate with a future president and congress about whether this disastrous catastrophic war that is slowly destroying what’s left of Ukraine benefits the American voting public. No money for East Palestine after an environmental catastrophe or the wildfires in Maui (that may or may not be man made).
Fascist. Just die already Biden. You don’t need to ( and can’t ) control the future.
Too harsh?
Who dies first? Biden or Putin?
In 2015 obama said, Bashar al-Assad will be out of power shortly in Syria and Valdimir Putin will soon be next to be eliminated from power.
Looks like both Assad and President Putin are still in power and obama is NOT!
Joey Biden will be rotting in his grave due to death from old age; while President Putin remains in office in Russia and Bashar al-Assad in still in power in Syria!!!
Sure, buddy. Keep hoping.
Obviously no understanding of math, science, and biology on your part. So, how many genders are there? More than two?
Joey Biden is a dementia wreck about to die of old age. President Putin and Assad are much younger and vigorous.
How does anyone’s gender affect you? Are you attracted to someone who identifies as non-binary? Do you get all warm in you bathing suit parts? Or do you just get joy from attacking another human being? Maybe you’re just empty inside, my dude.
Obviously weak on math and science. In biology mammals have X and Y chromosomes.
In biological science there are only two genders. You can run from your gender but you cannot hide from biological facts.
“The Y chromosome is present in males, who have one X and one Y chromosome, while females have two X chromosomes.”
You’re confusing biological sex with gender identity.
And displaying your ignorance of biological science. The XX/XY chromosome differential is quite useful as it does cover a wide swath of the biological sex bell curve. Among humans, at least, there are very few XX males, XY females, and trisomies. But there are some.
“So, how many genders are there? More than two?”
Since gender identity is a cultural (not biological) concept, that depends on the culture (and when you happen by the culture to have a look).
Obviously weak on math and science. In biology mammals have X and Y chromosomes. In biological science there are only two genders. You can run from your gender but you cannot hide from biological facts.
“The Y chromosome is present in males, who have one X and one Y chromosome, while females have two X chromosomes.”
(You know I was implying Putin will be eliminated before Biden dies of old age, right?)
With an 85% approval rate in Russia there will be no assassination. Any state sponsored assassination will lead to all out war at the strategic level, Full Blown World War 3.
Hahaha. You’re adorable!
The most cogent analysis of Ukraine, the American military, and the American economy.
Into the abyss: Colonel Douglas Macgregor tells us why the Ukraine war must end now.
MacHregor is a Putin-loving a**hole who has no clue what reality is.
Yea, What would he know he only has been to war in a tank and worked around the Pentagon for years.
Screen name doesn’t check out.
1. Believe nothing the. U.S. govt says. 2.All wars are bankers wars 3. There is zero democracy in the USA stop pretending we are spreading democracy 4. End the control of Congress by the ” friendly foreign ” cpuntry
They prevented past president Trump in 2020 to keep him from preventing WWIII in Ukraine. They tried to impeach him for just asking questions about Ukraine. The CIA was mobilizing a NATO proxy military long before Trump was elected. Proxies are a CIA thing from Bay of Pigs, Iraq attacking Iran, ISIS and now Ukraine. Trump did some stupid stuff but he did try to bring our foreign legions home and was called a traitor. Well in a sense he was to the CIA war machine.
The US political system resides in the bubble it has created for itself. As the fog it expels builds up inside, the outside world and reality itself fade from view.
Not one “politician” on the current scene is worth voting for, as far as I can tell at present. So I’m going to write in our cat, who at least lives in the real world.
Ah, I see. Biden’s gang is trying to tie the hands of his elected successors because . . . democracy.
You can’t make this shit up. Well, you could, but you don’t have to.
That the US/EU and NATO sponsored the 2014 EuroMaidan Coup d’état was an illegal and criminal act. What the ICC called the supreme international crime, the crime of aggression.
NATO’s Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg confirmed, in an interview with The Washington Post, May 9, 2023, (speaking on behalf of NATO) that the “war didn’t start in 2022”. “The war started in 2014”
The legal implications of Stoltenberg’s statements are far-reaching. The beginning of the Ukraine war coincided with a U.S. sponsored Coup d’état. Having stated that “the war started in 2014”, and has been ongoing since 2014 as confirmed by Stoltenberg, Russia’s Special Military Operation cannot be categorized as an “illegal invasion” (under Article 2(4) of the UN Charter).
NATO can no longer claim that Russia’s Special Military Operation (SMO) of February 24, 2022 constitutes, from a legal standpoint, “an invasion”. As the war started in 2014, Art 2(4) applies to both the Kiev Nazi regime as well as US-NATO which was behind the February 2014 illegal Coup D’état.
From a legal standpoint, US-NATO on behalf and in coordination with the US sponsored Nazi regime had initiated a war against Luhansk and Donesk. Legally this was not “An Act of War against Russia”. this was an “Act of War against Ukraine and the People of Ukraine”.
President Putin had defined a Special Military Operation (SMO) in support of the breakaway republics of Donetsk and Luhansk. The stated objective was to “demilitarise” and “denazify” Ukraine.
Article 51 of the UN Charter confirms that “Nothing in the present Charter shall impair the inherent right of individual or collective self-defence if an armed attack occurs against a Member of the United Nations, Russia’s SMO complies with the exercise of self defense.
Did NATO just attack Russia from Estonia?
NATO has already lost; 466 Aircraft, 247 helicopters, 6234 UAV’s, 433 Anti Aircraft systems, 11570 tanks inc. APC’s, 1146 multiple rocket launchers, 6128 field artillery and 12528 military automotive equipment. Approx. $1 Trillion of NATO hardware.
The AFU committed its last reserve brigade with western equipment to its disastrous so called counter-offensive. It will get ground up just like the forces it is replacing. Approx. $1 trillion of NATO support. Keep in mind Ukraine was the biggest and most equipped NATO army in Europe and Russia just mauled them.
