  1. Right now, China and India are not on good terms and haven’t been for quite some time, so it would likely be a case of one or the other, not both. India, I would suggest is less likely to do so, as they are courting the West more for the military hardware they don’t manufacture in-country. Support Russia and that goes away in a hurry. China is the more likely benefactor, but they have their own problems. The economy there is facing a massive correction, and they may not want to invest in an unpopular war in Europe, when their own focus is Taiwan. Iran, on the other hand, has no such qualms and the US has paid them significant sums of money in the recent past. What better way to thumb their nose at “The Great Satan”?
  2. Bankrupting Russia financially may be fast, but bankrupting Ukraine of a generation of fighting age population may well be faster. 🙁
  3. And the GOP Supermajority had to override the veto by Governor Beshear to pass this legislation. Most commentators agree that Beshear, if given the opportunity, will ignore the state legislature, appoint a Democrat and dare the appointment to be challenged in court. He loses nothing by doing so. Even if the court immediately stays his appointment, that will just leave the seat infilled, which is another option he has, so why not give it a go? He has already shown his intent by vetoing the bill, so why would he not choose to challenge this law?
  4. The GOP can’t let that happen. Beshear will appoint a Democrat to fill in before a Special Election.
  5. This move was never meant to squeeze Moscow. It was all about maintaining the supply volume, while setting a cost ceiling, to prevent cost gouging by Russia, which would inevitably be filled by the OPEC bloc. if you wanted to squeeze Russia, follow the last President’s playbook. Oh, wait. We can’t do that. Sleepy Joe guaranteed our return to energy dependence back in 2021 😒
  6. But they don’t ignore it. They actively treat anything they disagree with as disinformation and accept the opposite of what the evidence presents as the “real” situation. Gone are the days of the informed public, supported by an objective, fact-driven media. Trust in the media machine no longer exists, crushed under the weight of agenda-driven. Now we have a divided and factionalized public, entrenched in positions they refuse to consider changing, owing to their deep-seated distrust of the mainstream news outlets.
  7. He can’t release the audio tapes, he’s too busy organizing his involuntary suicide ☠️
  8. He’s working hard at things like … remembering to put his underwear on BEFORE his pants 🤪
  9. And the White House is placing the blame with Governor Hochul and Mayor Adams. Surely it should be the other way round? 🤔 Still, if the Democrats responsible for this unfolding fiasco wise up and realise that securing the border and enforcing the laws we have on the books already will go some way to resolving the issue, we may finally get some progress in stemming the human tide pouring across our Southern border. Or not, which remains far more likely. 🙁
  10. Biden’s DOJ is now suing SpaceX for discriminatory hiring practices, in that they will only hire US Citizens and LPRs 🤔 https://www.space.com/department-of-justice-sues-spacex-hiring-discrimination
  11. The majority of pre-war Germans were good with Hitler, too 🙁
  12. I would like to know why I (non-US citizen), with a NYS area code, residing somewhat above 9,000 ft above sea level (so not IN NYS) am getting texts from a Democrat senatorial candidate in TX, asking for donations. 🤪
  13. Well, this is interesting 🤔 A Russian embassy publishing a map showing Crimea as belonging to Ukraine? https://www.newsweek.com/russian-embassy-releases-map-recognizing-crimea-ukraine-1822820?amp=1
  14. All day and every day … if you are a Republican. If you are a Democrat, that’s just the price of doing business 😒
  15. It’s cute that you tried to work in a Nazi reference and tie it back to DJT and his previous administration. Unfortunately, on the balance of evidence relating to governmental control, persecution of political opponents, weaponization of the alphabetti-spaghetti of governmental agencies, the appropriation of the mass media for propaganda purposes and the censorship of opposing thought and opinion, the current administration is far closer to the National Socialist ideal than DJT and the GOP will ever be. And even then, “some language experts” equate a putsch to a failed coup. Looking at the numbers, there were 2,000 trying to overthrow a state’s government. January 6th was 200 protesters led by an idiot in a moo-hat, in your words trying to overthrow the government of a country 4x the size of Germany now. Without weapons. When half of them were freely let in. The comparison is simply not there. But the press and the Democrat Party will keep pounding their Big Lie until it has outlived its usefulness. None of the above could be classed as insurrections, either. As the title of #3 on the list states, they were protests, nothing more. And citing Wikipedia?
  16. People using the term insurrection really need to learn English 😒 Better still, they need to learn what a real insurrection looks like from history, not the pathetic adoption of the term by the American leftist propaganda machine trying to interfere in the 2024 Presidential Election.
  17. Does he have the American equivalent of the “Kremlin Flu”?
  18. … is all you need to know to understand how morally corrupt this decision will be proven to be. 😒
  19. Fear and money, with a side of repeated election irregularity 😒
