I’ve said that numerous times in this thread as well. 
 

Obama miscalculated on this one big time. 
 

I say it again, as a staunch supporter of him and his presidency. 

 

When it first happened, and Russia claimed that the troops moving into Crimea were not Russian, I was half expecting Obama to launch some strikes since Russia clearly disavowed their presence and involvement. Very disappointing on Obama's part.

 

Similar to what happened in Syria, US double checked with Russia to ensure none of their troops were in the area, Russia denied any troops, so US went 'ok, sure, there are no Russian troops in the area, wipe them out'

 Zelensky should have perhaps stood him off a bit more, or ignored him..


The World can be a Stage :

 

During a break in the EU summit, Hungarian PM Viktor Oban approached Pres. Volodymyr Zelenskyy (@ZelenskyyUa) and initiated a conversation. It appears Oban is trying to convince Zelenskyy that there should be no hard feelings between the two leaders (and countries). However, Zelenskyy's body language and facial expressions may be an indication that, at least for the moment, he is not open to Orban's advances.

To add to the above :

 

Perhaps Orban trying to save his own life from a RuZ cigarette.

 

Makes me wonder if he should not go into protective custody as a witness agains Putin in The Hauge .

IF Orban wants to live ,  it might be the only way to survive, especially if he has emails, texts, voicemails, letters of incriminating evidence of how Putin influenced his power in Europe to gain allies.

Ukraine must be horrified after the US Prrsidential debate right about now. 


If Biden would take this guy as his VP I think it would change everything.

 

Newsome would be perfect VP for Biden , .. and a great Successor to Biden .

Maybe the Dems come together and convince Biden to handoff ?

Forget VP, just replace Biden outright. 

 

Problem is Newsome is gonna have a horrible time winning the general given he is from California and that fact alone give ample ammunition.

The phone rings in Mayor Pete's house...


That guy is intelligent and philosophical.

 

If he doesn't know how something works, 

he deconstructs it chronologically,

inspects each working piece,

replaces what broken,

and redesigns the cost factors,

Into a reinvention the will outlast 3 lifetimes

I agree Sam. I think that mayor Pete would be a great guy to step into the void. After watching the debate for three minutes I was terrified by Biden’s performance. 
To be sure there were a few strong moments, but it wasn’t enough. Dems would be wise to hit the panic button ASAP. A Trump presidency would not be good for Ukraine.

There has to be better people than Newsome. He has ran California into the ground and is now angling for POTUS in 2028. Bill Gates likes a challenge. Get him.

Information wise ,

it’s been quiet ..

but that always leaves suspicion.

 

I think there is a lot of ground being taken by UKraine at the moment.… and we are all hopeful of the F16’s arrival. Which to most accounts , should have happened, or is in progress.

Im hopeful that some major operations are in prep or action .

 

I wonder if this clip is one of those major reconnaissance/ strikes

 

These guys did not last a single minute after the exit hatch dropped.
