So much to unpack in Ukraine. In no particuliar order:
1) $55B in weapons (and contractor largesse, political kickbacks etc.) Would the $86B in military gear that Brandon gave to the Taliban have been better used by Ukraine?
2) pSAKi says Brandon is mad about leaks that the UtS helped Ukraine sink the Russian ship. Yeah!!!!, LEAKERS SUCK and should be punished?????
3) re: Bono, now Zalensky is asking for Lady GaGa to come play in Ukraine. Is he leading a war effort or planning a summer concert series?
4) Media keeps banging the drum that Ukraine is winning, as they show maps of the eastern and southern territory the Russians have taken. Keep showing destroyed building and reporting on deaths in Ukraine. Yes, Russia is taking losses but the country of Ukraine is being devasted for generations.
5) Ukrainian spring harvest is not making it to the world. More global food shortages and price increases are around the corner.
6) Re: the affect of Biden's sanctions on Russia. US gas prices and food prices are skyrocketing. I have not heard of baby formula shortages in Russia? But yes, some Oligarch's wife is really pissed she can't get a new Chanel bag.
This is a natural result of an incompetent administration that is implementing flawed policy.
Truth
Your # 4 is particularly problematic
It’s as of the networks , mostly the left , but not exclusively, is pushing propaganda
Yeah we are winning!
Russia is losing !
Putin is hated in Russia!
Russia is threatening NATO !
All likely untrue
The democrats are doing what they do
Using a crisis for political purposes
They are feeding the war as it distracts from our internal problems.
They are interested in fighting a proxy war with Russia . It may stem from their hate of Putin for allegedly working to defeat Hillary. ( The Trump/ Russia hoax)
Is there a real threat of Russia invading Poland or any other NATO country? No
No one has identified a real win in Ukraine for anyone other than politicians and the defense industry. The propaganda includes the delusional position that Russia will be driven out of the Donbas and Crimea . Not in our lifetime . Not so long as they have Nukes.
What hasn’t happened is for NATO to take the lead and propose actual settlement options. It’s their continent, not ours . Why are we the lead in providing $ and weapons ?
No doubt what Russia did in invading was horrible. The West , including the USA , was aware of the Russian’s concerns and issues prior to the invasion. The concerns were dismissed.
Russia invaded . Ukraine is being destroyed
Russia is still making rockets and bombs . They will continue to deliver destruction
We will continue to spend our tax $ to continue the carnage. More people will die
And Fake Doctor Jill Biden will go have have lunch in Ukraine.
As Kurt Vonnegut said
SO IT GOES
