Don't laugh this is the favoured stuffed toy stop Trump candidate. Facism or farce - so this is how it ends , karma always ultimately wins. What treaty that the whites have kept has the red man broken? Not one. Sitting Bull

He's not Hitler - Mussolini maybe but without the ability to get the trains running on time. Mussolini had a jewish mistress he wasn't all bad.

Lest we forget - radicals may vote for RFK Jnr / Jill Stein / Cornell and chip away at the Dem natural constituency and let Trump in. Biden hasn't been running anything for months if not years and people don't like being decieved especially where their leaders are concerned. Trump is pretty much baked in at this point, accept it , get over it and enjoy what remains of your lives around you.

The anybody but Trump ticket where the candidate is a stuffed toy and a running mate is shoehorned in by some means to be decided. Meanwhile the money is pouring into the Trump camp inculding some of the big tech boys who will be sweating the swing states like never before, with endless attack ads while Trump like some messiah saved by God graciously lends his presence to mega indoor rallies sealed tighter than a duck's arse. Good luck with that strategu but get ready for Trump 2.0 my guess is he will win and win bigly. After all 86% of Americans beleive in God who saved Trump for this very moment. The world is going mad it happens in cycles sadly and we are beggining a mega one. If you are over 60 thank that 'God' you were born in the sweet spot for western civilisation - from here it's downhill all the way. As I've got older I've come to realise a corrupt army runing a client state and staying out of other countries whilst they fill their boots in their own maybe imperfect, but it works. If it wasn't for the smoke I might have joined you there and sheltered under the same umbrella.

Douglas Murray says vote Trump and hold your nose.

Here he is !

Look at her eyes she's either drunk or on drugs and I should know !

All American Presidents are owned by the billionaires. That's a given Michael Moore who I love says Trump must go by any means necessary. Assasin 2.0 ? Moore says the young pro-Palestinian "Genocide Joe" protestors have derailed Biden's ability to campaign that and his alarming decline.

He fought his way out of poverty and an addict mother and served his country in Iraq. Unlike Trump he is the real thing and he wants an end to endless wars and for that alone I salute him.

Zelenskiy wants to talk directly. https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/jul/16/ukraine-war-briefing-russia-should-attend-second-peace-summit-zelenskiy-says Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Monday that Russia should be represented at a second peace summit in November, after a first summit convened by the Ukrainian president last month in Switzerland to which Moscow was not invited. This is what heroes sound like the great Palestinian poet,author,and leader killed by Mossad in 1972. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k519QzHA5XA

This may or may not be true but the Ukrainains have taken the decison the rage bombing that would follow that would hurt them more than Russia. https://kyivindependent.com/destruction-of-kerch-bridge-wont-be-as-effective-anymore-military-says/ Destroying the Kerch Bridge in occupied Crimea now would not have the same effect now because Russia barely uses it for military purposes anymore, Navy spokesperson Dmytro Pletenchuk said in an interview with RBC-Ukraine published on June 17.

Ukraine's much touted membership of NATO , should NATO persist will more than likely mirror that of Turkey's acession to the EU. Always tomorrow never today. Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accession_of_Turkey_to_the_European_Union Turkey signed a Customs Union agreement with the EU in 1995 and was officially recognised as a candidate for full membership on 12 December 1999, at the Helsinki summit of the European Council. Negotiations for full membership were started on 3 October 2005.

The good news just keeps on coming - Trump by a landlside. He is a loathsome, vain narcisist but one stopping endless wars- and on that alone he would have my vote. If I was an American. https://archive.ph/Nsn3Q

I refer the right honourable member for Bangkok South to my previous answer.

Any reasonable person can see you are nit picking. And thanks for the heads up it appears the Independent is a much more credible news source than the Post probably because they don't give into pressure to self censor. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/kyiv-independent-bias/

Well hardly I can't know everything and have proved the substantive point in spades. Though I readily accept the situation is far better than Russia where an independent media now hardly exists in any form. Gosh in my feed just now Trump is now saying he won't defend Taiwan as they nicked America's chips - he's increasingly looking like the world peace candidate.

From the back of my brain I thought it was the Post buy it is the Kyiv Independent and other outlets and press freedoms in general as the following links will illustrate. These examples are designed to intimidate journalists in general to toe the party line which is Zelenskiy and his actions are beyond reproach as martial law continues. https://www.rferl.org/a/ukraine-parliament-press-restrictions-censorship-journalists/32701375.html Since September 2022, only one television channel, the state-run Rada TV, an outlet charged with covering the parliament, or Verkhovna Rada, has been allowed to broadcast the legislature’s plenary sessions, with a delay of at least several hours for security reasons. Other accredited journalists are not allowed within the parliament or its perimeter. https://www.state.gov/reports/2023-country-reports-on-human-rights-practices/ukraine/ There were allegations the government threated to prosecute journalists in retaliation for their work. Additionally, some journalists reported being threatened by security officials with military conscription in retaliation for reporting critical of the administration. Some outlets reported security services placed their employees under surveillance. An investigation was underway, for example, into Security Service of Ukraine surveillance of independent investigative media outlet Bihus.info. The Kyiv Independent likewise reported its employees were under surveillance by security forces. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/may/02/the-fight-for-full-press-freedom-in-ukraine-we-can-write-what-we-want-but-bad-actors-try-to-intimidate-us Rudenko is speaking out against a clumsy campaign of intimidation of journalists that began last autumn, in which staff at the English-language title have been subject, she says, to “undue interest” from the country’s SBU intelligence service. The Kyiv Independent is the country’s best known English-language title in a free, vigorous and largely online news market. But, Rudenko adds, “since October-November, a lot of newsrooms started feeling pressure at a time when some people began to think there might be elections”. (Elections in Ukraine are suspended under martial law and, despite that autumn speculation, there are no plans to hold them. https://kyivindependent.com/pressure-on-journalists-press-freedom-limitations-continue-in-wartime-ukraine/ Ukrainian journalists and media watchdogs are continuing to voice concerns over declining press freedoms as their country’s army fights on more than two years into Russia’s full-scale invasion to protect the future of the democracy. Months after attacks on investigative journalists provoked a public outcry and condemnation, media still face different forms of pressure from authorities, according to Ukrainian editors and press freedom watchdogs interviewed by the Kyiv Independent. https://www.politico.eu/article/ukraine-investigative-journalists-press-freedom-yuri-nikolov-corruption-nashi-groshi-war-in-ukraine/ KYIV — “I ran investigations for 15 years before the war, and it was always hard and risky. But I think it’s worse for journalists now,” said Ukrainian reporter Yuri Nikolov, editor and co-founder of the anti-corruption investigative project Nashi Groshi (Our Money). “They use different intimidation tactics to try to deter reporters and then, of course, they can always threaten to ship you off to the front lines,” he added with a rueful guffaw. For a man at the end of death threats, he remains remarkably upbeat.

This is the most likely PM for France when the horse trading finishes. Left or Right they have had enough of war. It's going to get rough from now in the centre cannot hold.

Until the Trump adminstration pulls the plug and economic and political upheaval in Europe starts screaming charity begins at home. this ex US Ambassador to NATO says Ukraine need to throw all their male population at the front before considering a single boot from another country. He's honest in his punt to the last Ukrainian. Or at least the last ones they can conscript. “The enemy is anybody who's going to get you killed, no matter which side he is on.” ― Joseph Heller, Catch-22

Just don't tell mom that I'm going to Bakhmut

The Kyiv Post has come under increasing threat from goverment censorship as whilst being uber patriotic Ukrainians living under the privations of war they also want to tell the truth, however uncomfortbale. Reports: Ukrainian Marines Retreat From Dnipro Bridgehead, Long-Held Defensive Bastion Lost Kyiv’s abandonment of Krynky village marked a possible end to months of attempts by Ukrainian forces to hold liberated territory on the left/south bank of the Dnipro River and expand it. https://www.kyivpost.com/post/35948

I'm against this war but I salute your bravery you are obvioulsy fighting for something you beleive in and are prepeared to put your life on the line on the way. I hope you and all the others fighting will be safe and come back soon to peace.I would have thought more here other than Brian would have wished you well and God Speed but I'm sure they have their reasons. As an aside and if you have time have you heard of the YouTuber willyoam and if so what do you think about him ?

I've had a nice break but I'm now back so where to start with a huge Trump/Vance Coronation looming over Europe and Ukraine. That's the bigly one. Trump’s decision Monday to have Vance join him on the ticket is raising concerns across Europe that Trump might abandon Ukraine in its war against Russia’s invasion. The fear in European capitals is that, without strong U.S. aid, Ukraine will have less leverage in any peace talks - WSJ The invasion inspired Vance to enlist in the U.S. Marine Corps months later, where he said he learned firsthand that those claims were untrue. “I believed in the propaganda of the George W. Bush administration that we needed to invade Iraq, that it was a war for freedom and democracy,” Vance said from the Senate floor. “The promises of the foreign policy establishment of this country were a complete joke.” https://archive.ph/lhDuE NYT - J.D. Vance’s Opposition to U.S. Support for Ukraine: In His Own Words “I don’t really care what happens to Ukraine one way or the other,” Senator Vance has said. https://archive.ph/VUyw0 And so the retreat from the high moral ground begins if Trump cuts the funds then Europe/Ukraine will have to make diffcult desicions as without money the whole show implodes and in short order. https://kyivindependent.com/germany-to-halve-ukraine-military-aid-reuters-reports/ Germany's military aid for Ukraine will be cut by half next year, according to a draft 2025 budget document reported by Reuters on July 17. Berlin will provide Kyiv with around 8 billion euros ($8.7 billion) this year but will only give 4 billion euros ($4.35 billion) in 2025. The move comes amid increasing concern that a Donald Trump victory in the upcoming U.S. presidential election will see a dramatic cut in Washington's support for Ukraine's fight against Russian aggression. And then there's trouble at the top With Zelensky’s party split, the government relies on formerly pro-Russian lawmakers to help it pass legislation and minimize scrutiny. Government credibility is down The disarray thwarts any meaningful role for the Parliament in the oversight of government agencies. Corruption is common-NYT https://archive.ph/aLPVI Controversial Ukrainian MP, Mariana Bezuhla who lambasted military to leave Zelensky's parliamentary group -Kyiv Independent News Not long ago, she was put on the Myrotvorets kill list https://kyivindependent.com/controversial-mp-who-lambasted-military-to-leave-zelenskys-parliamentary-group/ She was also removed from her role as Head of Subcommittee of the National Security Committee a few days ago as well. Confirming the destruction of two Patriot Launchers in the past fortnight was probably the straw that broke the camel's back and was as placed on the Myrotvorets List and even her personal contact details, such as her general location and even her phone number was put there. Lawmaker Mariana Bezuhla said on July 17 that she had submitted an application to leave President Volodymyr Zelensky's Servant of the People parliamentary faction. The central figure of many controversies, Bezuhla has repeatedly made headlines with her harsh criticism of the former and current military leadership, including ex-Commander-in-Chief Valerii Zaluzhnyi and his successor, Oleksandr Syrskyi. Bezuhla made the announcement shortly after she was dismissed as the head of the subcommittee on civilian oversight over the military. She presented her dismissal as a "reaction to speaking the truth about the problems in the Armed Forces." But it's not just about money but manpower as well something they have virtually run out of. All lives lost now on both sides now are for absolutely nothing just a war that should never have happened. Who wouldn't want to run away faced with this dilemna - which is why most abled bodied men who couldn't flee the country are trying to do. CEASEFIRE NOW.

LOL !

Remember this from 2016 when Michael Moore called it - I'm getting this in spades for 2024.
