It's not CT drivel .... US neocons were responsible for the illegal invasion into Iraq, by creating false evidence as a pre text to go to war... Its actually pretty well documented.
Liz Cheney is a Neocon, endorsing Harris. Who would have thought that would ever be possible. That's how utterly uncapable Trump is to be president
Biggest economy in the world, that’s how it’s working out for them.
how is it working out for the US? 25 years of failed wars and ballooning debt , not agreeing with is not a conspiracy just pointing out that they havnt been well guided imo.
You don't "buy" the compromised argument when there's clear evidence of Trump passing classified information to the Russians? So does that mean you just think he's a useful idiot who does Putin's bidding out of admiration for a mafia dictator whose death toll must me nearing the million mark? Is it as simple as you're a racist or sexist who couldn't bear to see a woman of colour in the oval office? Or is there anything approaching a logical reason for your support of Trump? Does he have to start dancing Swan Lake while waving the Russian tricolour before you'll "buy" that's he's a traitor to his nation who's in the pocket of said maniacal dictator?
It's not like he's some CJH figure who's a brilliant leader if you can look past his corruption (I never could myself but your mileage may vary). Trump is a dangerous, volatile, stupid, charlatan whose only loyalty is to himself.
I don't agree with your assessment of Harris as a lightweight, but even if we were to accept it as true, I'd still vote for the honest, principled and well-intentioned lightweight over the dishonest, self-serving, dangerous idiot.
Wow. Heavy hitting arguments right there. "as far as I'm concerned" … "I don't buy"… well, ok then. You have me convinced the insurrection supporter is the better statesman.
Conspiracy theory drivel. Your opinion has no foundation, and no standing in comparison with those of senior military and security officials.
Trump is utterly clueless about foreign policy, and can be easily manipulated by whoever has his ear, and approaches everything from the perspective of his own personal gain. He effectively surrendered to the Taliban.
He was refusing to send Federal help to disaster stricken areas in the US if he thought only Democrats lived there. He cares not a jot about the fate of Ukrainian people, as evidenced by him attempts to hold up aid to them if they didn't try to dig up dirt on his political rivals. If Harris is a 'lightweight' what does that say about Trump that she played him like a violin?
Trump not winning would be a horrible prospect for some.
there is a neocon segment in the US, what do you expect? the gravy train being turned off would be a horrible prospect for some
You don't a clue what you are talking about. Hundreds of military and security officials in the US, including Republicans have endorsed Harris.
nonsense as far as Im concerned , Harris is a light weight and I dont buy the compromised argument
Three Day War going that well
That is not the point ..and you know it ..... Where in any of my posts am I defending Russia ?
And it is the US foreign policy we are talking about .. as in 10000 km from home ere they are messing things up.
By having a country, believe it's immune to all norms of civilisation, enables it's citizens to commit war crimes and kill prisoners of war, stripped of their clothes, with their hands tied behind their back, filming it for sport.
It's the theme of Russians from when the war started. And it's why Ukraine fights Russia with all it has. And why civilised countries hate and will continue to hate the Russian Nazi state of Putin.
I'm not posting the link but posting a reply to the link.
I predict a riot.. i predict a riot,
Wagner have had a rough couple years....
.
Folks on Twitter are saying that another Wagner military column got hit in Mali.
The last time this happened Ukraine intelligence claimed to have played a part. It will be interesting to see if they do the same again.
Russia are having a bad day internationally.
And in Syria
Jesus F. Christ.
Just because Israel is acting the cnut in another part of the world, does not make it okay for Russia to do it either.
It is possible to support Ukraine and still be opposed to Israeli aggression and land stealing.
Hammas treats Palestinians as playthings and Iran funds it, Russia is allied with Iran.
Israel treats Palestinians as playthings, and USA funds the genocide.
Something big in Russia went boom
Criminal industry too
https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2024/10/02/russia-criminal-immunity-military-contract/
The Kremlin insists that every industry send soldiers to the war.
So 10 nuclear physicians will now go to the trenches in Ukraine.
Yes, it is possible for more than one country to be a cnut at the same time. Just because someone does it, doesn't make it okay for someone else to it either. It's not a fcking playground.
But the US has topple democracies and installed puppet dictators for business reasons.
In these instances the only liberation going on was of assets.
Cuba, Germany (all of Eastern Europe too I suppose), Afghanistan
Are average people from those countries rather live in Russia or US today (and 10-20-30 years ago), where have people from those countries tended to emigrate to by risking shark infested waters, Berlin Wall and clinging of bottoms of airplanes?
Both are deeply messed up places, but one of these exponentially more f****d up
Which you should remember next time you start making arguments defending Russian Empire and/or regurgitating their talking points
A case of if there is to be brutal urban fighting. Might as well have it in a few strategic places than lots of places.
So when are you buying those one way tickets to the paradise that is Russia?
Funny how for all the criticisms of US (and they’d deserve plenty) and other Western countries the broken records that are stuck regurgitating far left talking points of the 20th century don’t themselves move to the place that invented whataboutery
Cuba was only a reaction because the US had nukes close to the Russian border … cuban missile crisis was just part of the cold war wheere the two superpowers were engaged in, had no real negative impact on us here in Europe (compared)
Iron curtain did not prevent us here in western Europe from prospering and does not even comes close to the wars the US had started costing Millions of lives. plus also part of the cold war (which the US was also involved in)
Afghanistan was a massacre … repeated by the US in 2001 (The result of that was only 360000 deaths direct and indirect. estimated) so the Russians "won" that one
Anything else ?
Past 20 years only

Ukraine took out another airbase last night:
Telegram: Contact @insiderUKR
Ukrainian drones targeted the Borisoglebsk military air base in Russia's Voronezh region last night, according to Russian Telegram channels. It is reported that the drones attacked warehouses that store KABs, parking lots of SU-35 and SU-34 aircraft, as well as places where aviation fuel is stored. : r/UkraineWarVideoReport (reddit.com)
Another excellent economist podcast on the war, what Ukrainian politicians and civilians and soldiers feel behind the scenes, the heroic resistance but also the weariness and divisions in the society, and what an end to the war might realistically look like. Well worth an hour of time:
