I think anyone buying anything today knows inflation is much worse than the leadership admits. If someone doesn't stop them, we are headed for a full blown depression probably within a year.

Does Zelensky not understand that a nuke on Russia would blow Ukraine to bits, too?

If the pharmas can be shown to have been lying the whole time (there is evidence of other lies in addition to the recent admission), the EUA is defunct and they can be sued. I think someone like Jeff Childers and his law friends should get the ball rolling...

All over msm today, the same old narrative is being played out to push the new, never tested on humans, covid booster shot. It is insane.!

Yesterday my daughter went for her 34 week pregnancy exam. For the 3rd time, her young female obstetrician tried to push the covid shot on her as well as the flu shot! All this despite her having had covid in her 3rd month. ( Thankfully all was fine after a week of being sick).

Her response to the doctor about all the news coming out from Pfizer papers didnt phase the doctor at all!

(though my son in law said that my daughter sounded a bit bitchy responding, lol, but at this point, who can hold it together, especially if they are pushing the poison on you and your preborn child and you know better!)

'Do no harm'? I think that oath went out the window when doctors, in huge student and insurance debt, became economic slaves of big pharm.

Why not get the Sputnik shot? Putin approved, yes? And mandated in Russia for most public sector workers.

yes, I would like to know where we are as well on this as far as the EUA. It's way past time. We know they lied. We know what the product really is and what they sold it as. It's time.

I think Zelensky knows full well his country would be blown to bits but he's ok with that as long as every global country goes down with him. Just my opinion.

He is insane. Doesn't give a damn for his people. He leans on his EU and US puppetmasters like a crutch. Meanwhile he has passed a law in essence not allowing any freedom of press.)

But he is good. Putin bad. 🙄(or so we are told by our propaganda feeders).

Putin is a rabid vaccinator and mandated it to his people.

How is he insane?

Would you surrender and get vaccinated if you were told to?

What if the police said you had to?

Why not?

He chose to stay and fight and has been the leading motivator of keeping Ukrainian morale high. If he had cut and run on day one the war would not have been where it is today (and if Russia was actually competent and won the Battle of Kyiv).

The Russians murdered 7 million Ukrainians in one year in a genocide known as the Holdomor. Forced hunger. They murdered more Ukrainians in the Katyn Forest massacre.

He isn't a tactician, but he DID go to acting school and knows how to give a good speech. He's brought billions of dollars in weapons, aid, and humanitarian relief for his country.

You actually think Biden et al. are giving billions to Ukraine bc of Zalenskyy’s elocution? Mmmk.

I also notice you ignoring the previous posters comment about him outlawing opposing political speech. Not to mention political parties nor his fervent embrace of actual neo-nazis.

The good Ukrainian people are to be pitied and helped. But it’s obvious that Ukraine is the biggest of all s-holes with money laundering and corruption rampant and US installed Pres Z is a huge part of it.

Putin doesn’t have to be a good guy to see and recognize that his enemies are also, not good guys.

They're sending him billions in aid because Russia is a threat to the USA, Europe, nato, and peace. We spent roughly 110 billion a year in Afghanistan. We've spent half that and have shattered Russia's ability to make war. They're losing hundreds of men per day along with billions in equipment. Best return on an investment made yet.

He never outlawed opposing political parties, just Russian-backed ones.

The good Ukrainian people are being thrown into torture chambers, raped, murdered, bombed, and put into mass graves by putin's armies.

The pictures out there are horrifying.

There's plenty of money laundering here. When will you abandon America?

The Ukrainians aren't perfect, but a 4 year old with down's syndrome and her 30 year old mother were disemboweled by Russian missiles and died. That puts you solidly into the evil category.

Who do the people who suffered under Russia the most back? Czech Republic? Latvia? Lithuania? Estonia? Bulgaria? Hungary?

Ukraine.

Ironic.

Everyone here screams NWO! Zelensky! Putin Stronk! But the people with the most to lose back Zelensky and Ukraine. Ironic.

Side note: Russia just installed a Ukraine war, I mean special military operation general, who was convicted of stealing and selling military equipment.

You're throwing the "corrupt" label on the wrong country here.

Zelensky is saving Ukraine and doing a good job of it.

Ukraine already suffered one Russian nuclear catastrophe. He doesn't want another.

Why would Russia use a nuke?

You seem not aware that this conflict has been building up for decades. Here is an interesting quote, “ On May 2, 1998, immediately after the

Senate ratified NATO expansion, I called

George Kennan, the architect of America's

successful containment of the Soviet

Union. Having joined the State Department

in 1926 and served as U.S. ambassador to

Moscow in 1952, Kennan was arguably

America's greatest expert on Russia.

Though 94 at the time and frail of voice, he

was sharp of mind when I asked for his

opinion of NATO expansion.

I am going to share Kennan's whole

answer:

"I think it is the beginning of a new cold

war. I think the Russians will gradually

react quite adversely and it will affect their

policies. I think it is a tragic mistake. There

was no reason for this whatsoever. No one

was threatening anybody else. This

expansion would make the founding

fathers of this country turn over in their graves.”

"Nato expansion" is another buzzword to try and create wiggle room for Russia invading and annexing more territory, land, and people.

If Russia wasn't the equivelant of North korea with lots of gas and state sponsored genocide, Nato wouldn't need to exist. Russia invaded and annexed part of Moldova. Then Georgia. And then Ukraine. The Russian invasions have given Nato a new life because it's old nemesis is back.

Russia was indeed threatening other people. The 3 nations above show that. Their actions show that today.

Ask yourself why they shot down MH17 and never came to account because of it?

Question: Why do people join nato?

Poland: Katyn Forest massacre. 50 years of soviet repression. 2 invasions.

Czech Republic: 1968 Prague invasion

Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia: 100 years of repression and destruction of national identity

Off the top of my head.

I did some search. Putin wasn’t a president during Moldovian-Russian war, he wasn’t doing anything until about 2007. Sorry Benjamin but not everyone wants to be a survivor of a nuclear attack as you seem to encourage us all to do and saying it’s not a big deal. I’m sure Ukrainian people don’t want that either. Can we de-escalate the conflict please?? There were many voices over the years speaking out about nato expansion, including American voices, political scientists and diplomats but they’ve been probably just using buzz words trying to create wiggle room for Russia to invade. They’ve been warning us for years that this would happen and here we are. Kennan, Kissinger, Mearsheimer, Chomsky, Jeffrey Sachs and others. Voices of reason. The covid crisis gave me enough understanding that voices of reason get squashed and being accused of misinformation and propaganda. You seem very set in your ways and don’t see forest for the trees. Nobody was serious about accepting Ukraine to NATO. There are certain conditions that the country needs to meet before being qualified. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/henry-kissinger-to-settle-the-ukraine-crisis-start-at-the-end/2014/03/05/46dad868-a496-11e3-8466-d34c451760b9_story.html

Correct, Putin is simply continuing past Russian dictators’ actions going back hundreds of years. Moscow has always treated the western Slavs like garbage and commited countless atrocities against them going back a long time.

Why?

It works.

Are you saying Putin, a rabid vaccinator, is so unhinged he would launch nukes?

Won’t work with the USA.

Quoting a raving leftist like Chomsky isn’t helping your case.

We can de-escalate this conflict by returning to the borders Russia recognized when it signed the Budapest memorandum. That’s a great start towards ending the war. Failing that, Russia can return to the 2-24 lines and return the kidnapped children it moved to Russia from Ukraine.

Let’s de-escalate tnis and end the war.

I support SOME aid but how much more aid? There seem to be no end in sight. That’s US taxpayers’ money and not all the citizens are too happy to keep sending so much money when the situation at home is less than great. The more weapons flow and the more money gets poured into it the more the war will drag on and more lives will be lost. Who benefits? Have a good one.

What we need to do to finish the job.

For gutting the Russian military and destroying their ability to wage war it's a bargain.

We just passed an "anti inflation" bill which does none of that for 700 billion. The aid so far has probably been the most effective part of Biden's entire actions so far as president.

Maybe if he doesn’t want another nuclear catastrophe he shouldn’t provoke Russia at this point? He should know damn well there will be a response from Russia if he strikes. Just judging by the recent attacks on Kiev after the bridge explosion. Every action will have a reaction from Russia. The longer this war drags on the more people will die. His demagoguery is unwise. It’s not about supporting Putin or supporting Zelensky, it’s about having a common sense and knowing what you are dealing with. Btw Zelensky tried in the beginning to establish peace in the Eastern part of Ukraine but something happened to him. I believe he got a pushback from very influential radical parts of their government.

Let's apply that scenario to something else.

You should just get your covid shot right? Be a good sheep?

Why don't you?

If someone invaded your living room and had taken your kitchen, would you settle for signing over your deed to give them that part of your house?

Why not?

Because it rewards a violent criminal.

Russia murdered 7 million ukrainians in a genocide in ONE year.

Why would anyone negotiate with that?

The Kerch bridge had to go.

And no, it wasn't an act of terrorism.

It was a legitimate target. Even the VDV/spetznaz manuals state bridges are legitimate targets.

I said establish peace, not give away Ukrainian lands. This thing didn’t start in 2022. The whole thing could have been prevented earlier with the smart leadership and the government that works for all the people.

Indeed. Getting Ukraine into nato would have stopped this 14 years ago while Russia was busy with already invading Moldova and Georgia. And the EU stopping the purchase of Russian gas and buying from friendly countries.

And a strong western response when Russia invaded in 2014 would have gone a long way.

And Obama not pushing Ukraine to destroy large stocks of its weapons.

And the west and Russia not pushing Ukraine to get rid of its nukes

Zelensky never asked or wanted Russia to be Nuked. Folks should read what he said and stop taking someone else's word for it.

This week the Ukrainian army pushed the Russians back even further. Remember, they claimed they "annexed" this land in a referendum. Totally fair one too, only 99% of the people voted for it. Totally legit.

And no nukes have flown yet.

Why exactly do you think “preventative strikes” Z is asking for would do and result in?

Surely you know that just bc something hasn’t happened yet, doesn’t mean they won’t.

Russia already claims it's fighting Nato.

It would result in a limited war, undoubtedly. Russia is so broken after 8 months of fighting it would fold within months.

What happened when russia threatened nukes the past 6 times?

Acting School Z has schooled Putin the KGB educated guy and made him into a clown.
