US President Joe Biden has arrived in Kyiv – his first visit to Ukraine since Russia invaded almost a year ago.

 

The surprise visit came as he travelled to neighbouring Poland to meet President Andrzej Duda.

 

There had been speculation earlier today that an important guest was arriving in the Ukrainian capital, which Ukrainian politician Lesia Vasylenko has confirmed is Biden.

Another highly partisan political remark.  Wouldn't it be nice if people could just focus on the positives - like the need to support Ukraine against the ORCS.

The right have been focusing on the perceived Biden negatives. I pointed out a strong positive and made the case for the right to dump the negatives.

I could list a long string of rebuttals but I won't because that's exactly what Putin wants. He wants the right and left in the US and other NATO countries to attack each other. Congratulations!

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) slammed President Joe Biden's visit to Ukraine Monday, on the eve of the anniversary of Russia's invasion, as “incredibly insulting."

 

“Today on our President’s Day, Joe Biden, the President of the United States chose Ukraine over America, while forcing the American people to pay for

Ukraine’s government and war,” Greene tweeted. “I cannot express how much Americans hate Joe Biden.”

He's senile, but he's a mastermind. No wait, he's but a mere puppet, but he does what he wants. Hmmm.

Great news!

Ukrainian heroism plus Russian atrocities equals Western resolve.

Putin is betting the west's resolve will crumble. 

Eat my grits Putin. 

The White House gave Russia advance warning that Biden would make the trip, letting Moscow know several hours before he left Washington in order to tamp down tensions surrounding the visit, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters Monday.

He declined to say what response Russia offered, if any, to being given a heads up about the visit.

Yeah ozimoron ... for a fella thats supposed to be senile and frail (that's a fascist GOP trope) he sure is getting some sh!t done huh! Inherited (as is usual with Republicans) a sick economy i.e. a 30% increase in the entire 240 odd year national debt run up by Traitor Trump in just 4 years.

The system in the US is really dysfunctional that's for sure and there needs to be huge reforms in so many areas. From the voting debacle where each state and even counties use different systems and have different rules and can hinder the fundamental rights of people to vote, the judiciary especially the supreme court (no code of conduct or outside checks and balances on their behaviour), the appalling standards of the lobbying corruption and buying of politicians, a tax system that is crashing everyone but the rich, a medical system likewise.

Annoying, and oh-so inconvenient to those who prefer to turn away from the reality of an opposition party (GOP) that has lost its collective mind and soul and is now the pre-eminent and direct threat to the entire democratic experiment ... but entirely true!

Seems like NATO and the US are coming together quite nicely (Putins remarks and his sycophants remarks seem to show his shock n horror at the way the world has stood against his evil sick invasion) in supporting the utter destruction of the Russian 'ORCS' (love that descriptor of these barbarian hoards).

I do feel frightened though at the slowness of response in some vital areas to date e.g. tanks, armoured vehicles, long range missiles and artillery, and up-skilling on battle tactics to maximise Ukrainian fighting abilities.

As for the GOP behaviour; NOTE: The bill just tabled by the child abuser Senator and seditionist Matt Gates on trying to turn the tap off for Ukrainian military and monetary support. There is no doubt the GOP today is one of fealty to authoritarianism, despotism, and fascism not only in the US but across the globe ... this is not a remark of attack but a clear statement of facts.

Traitor Marjorie speaks ... Lets hope as the investigations into J6 continue under Jack Smiths lock-tight judicial skills this traitor will be one of the many GOP traitors to be charged and hopefully sent to prison.

Biden’s Ukraine visit upstages Putin and leaves Moscow’s military pundits raging

 

President Joe Biden’s surprise visit to Ukraine sparked anger and embarrassment among many of Russia’s hawkish military pundits on Monday, increasing pressure on Vladimir Putin as the Russian leader prepares to justify his stuttering invasion in a national address.

Biden’s historic visit came days before the one-year anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, providing a symbolic boost to Kyiv at a crucial juncture in the conflict.

But the visit caused fury in Russian pro-military and ultranationalist circles, as it upstages Putin on the eve of a major address in which the Russian president is expected to tout the supposed achievements of what he euphemistically calls a “special military operation.”

Was she wearing her "White witch of Narnia" costume from "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe"?

President Biden visit is Kiev, not to extort Zelensky, but to offer his support to the Ukrainian people in the fight against the illegal Russian invasion.

 

What a difference an election makes.

Off-topic, troll post removed.

 

I am not American, however I do support the Democrats, because I have absolutely no time for the Republicans and their lies and political manoeuvrings, not to mention their previous lying presidential incumbent.

 

Much as I want the Dems to succeed in all they do, I was a little saddened to see this old man Biden shuffling around the place and occasionally stumbling with his words, and as for a "motivational speaker", well he doesn't cut the mustard in that regard, sad to say.

 

I sincerely hope the Dems have someone new "up their sleeve" to contest the next election, although Joe might get in at a pinch, but touch and go IMO.

Like it or not Biden is running again and as the incumbent won't be facing any serious opposition for the nomination, if any.

MTG has no interest in governing or solving America's problems.  She has no solutions.  All she ever does is attack the POTUS and the Dems.  That's what she does.  That's ALL she does.
