sharot724 Posted March 15 Posted March 15 Putin Remains Committed to Controlling Ukraine, US Intelligence Reports The intelligence reports do not assess US President Donald Trump’s diplomatic efforts to end the war or the prospects of a 30-day ceasefire proposal. However, they raise questions about whether the White House is accurately evaluating Putin’s willingness to seek peace. https://global.espreso.tv/russia-ukraine-war-us-intelligence-confirms-putin-has-not-abandoned-plans-to-seize-ukraine-wp 1

candide Posted March 15 Posted March 15 I am surprised Trump hasn't already blamed Zelinski for it! 2
spidermike007 Posted March 15 Posted March 15 In terms of nasty and reckless moves, one that stands out for me is the gutting of U.S.A.I.D., because it’s illegal and because it’s so flagrantly immoral and utterly self-destructive. During the first Trump term, I would sometimes have to catch myself because even though I thought and think that Trump is uniquely despicable and dangerous, the fact remains that if you just want to look at the number of lives lost and global damage done, George W. Bush really outstripped him. Trump is maybe a worse person, but the damage that he did in his first term was much more contained. I think that in the second Trump term he’s changed that very quickly. Not just by taking America’s soft power and setting it on fire in all sorts of ways, but really making these abrupt decisions that are going to kill hundreds of thousands and maybe more than a million people and he’s doing it in this incredibly arbitrary, careless way. I don’t think he has a coherent value structure as most of us understand it. I think we’re seeing a president who’s operating without anything any of us would recognize as a conscience. Truly. It is about showing what he can get away with. It’s about showing his enemies that what they support, he can tear down. It is all about displays of brute strength. He gets off on that, and in that sense, it seems not so much an autocracy but a flexocracy. Let me show you how I can flex my bicep as I use it to power my fist coming into your face. It’s not about any coherent values. It’s not about any North Star. It’s about showing that you can turn the boat 180 degrees around and that you can do whatever you want and you can bring the people who opposed you to their knees. 1 1

Biden’s gone and Zelensky is fresh out of American friends. Europeans are too cowardly to put troops in Ukraine and fight Putin on their own. Which they should be doing. Instead they beg a country across the ocean for help. Doesn't look like that to me half of his conscripts have done a runner to Phuket they have no appetite to fight the Ukrainians do. 1 1
Popular Post bannork Posted March 15 Popular Post Posted March 15 As Trump realises persuading Putin ain't easy, he starts to parrot more and more the line, ' The war would never have started if I had been President.' Everything is ego to the world's greatest narcissist, so watch this line get trotted out more and more as his stupid boasts about ending the war in 24 hours are shot down in flames 3 1

sharot724 Posted March 15 Posted March 15 The recent drop in prices is due to a classic imbalance between supply and demand, rather than expectations for a Trump-fueled surge in domestic oil production, Lipow said. OPEC+, a group of major oil-exporting nations, announced plans earlier this month to increase production over the next 16 months. And there are signs of weak demand for oil on the horizon, especially in China

Elon Musk who called Senator Mark Kelly a traitor, and the Republicans who said nothing. Kelly was getting shot at over Iraq as a combat pilot and Musk has the audacity to insult him. Republicans were afraid to say anything to Musk. That's what cowards do. So this guy served his country as a pilot in the military? So what? Was he born with a silver spoon in his mouth like Elon Musk? Is he an immigrant who came to America illegally on a student visa but instead pulled a switcheroo and used Mommy and Daddy's money to start a company? Does Mark Kelly even know how to cheat and game the system? I don't think so. 🤣 Anyone else noticed that anyone who opposes KAOS* is called "scum" and attacked and vilified? 😀 * Musk, Putin, Trump: The International Axis of Evil 2 1 2

Yellowtail Posted March 15 Posted March 15 4 hours ago, spidermike007 said: Republicans are getting so much push back and so much flack from their constituents at the Town Halls that they've decided to just stop having them all together. Better not to face the people who voted for your candidate. Democrats to Hold “People’s Town Halls” in GOP-Held Target Districts Where Republicans Are Hiding From Their Voters & Constituents Earlier this month, House Republicans’ leadership told their members to avoid hosting town halls with their constituents. That’s because Republican members of Congress know they sold out their voters by backing Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s agenda — and they’re terrified to be in the same room as the people who sent them to Washington. So Democrats are showing up instead. During this congressional recess, Democrats are launching “People’s Town Halls,” a series of in-person public events in all 50 states across the country featuring local and national Democratic leaders. This is a chance for people to make their voices heard — regardless of where they live or who they voted for last year. Upcoming People’s Town Halls include: Arizona’s 6th Congressional District, represented by Republican Rep. Juan Ciscomani Colorado’s 8th Congressional District, represented by Republican Rep. Gabe Evans Florida’s 13th Congressional District, represented by Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna Iowa’s 3rd Congressional District, represented by Republican Rep. Zach Nunn Michigan’s 10th Congressional District, represented by Republican Rep. John James Missouri’s 2nd Congressional District, represented by Republican Rep. Ann Wagner Nebraska’s 2nd Congressional District, represented by Republican Rep. Don Bacon Pennsylvania’s 7th Congressional District, represented by Republican Rep. Ryan Mackenzie Pennsylvania’s 8th Congressional District, represented by Republican Rep. Rob Bresnahan. ActBlue flooding the town halls with protesters 1 1
