More long range missiles into Russia and send in our troops.  Kamala will clearly end this war...

The only way to end it is with the complete extermination of Putin and his regime.  Allowing Nazi vermin like Trump to appease Putin is how things get escalated.

Send in the nuclear bombs.  Russia doesn't have any anyways. Crimea wasn't worth fighting for in 2014 but this time eastern Ukraine is worth the escalation.

As soon as Russia launches a nuke, it's game over for Putin because China and India will completely pull their support, he knows this. 

 

Russia's problem right now is they are trying to act like they are as heavy and influential as the US and China, while their economy is the size of Italy's. You can only spend billions to put up the front for so long.

Putin will blow up Zaporizhzhya nuclear plant instead when he actually thinks he's lost.

Who buys this shit?  I thought the economy was bad...

 

Insanely expensive watches?  Who buys them now?  Basic status pieces with little practical reason to exist in the face of modern technology that are owned ONLY to signal status wealth and power?

 

Well they say Pierre has a pricey watch collection including a brand new Junghan Meister he is sporting so...

We call this the yapping dog mentality in political theatre.

 

Where a person just dives over to the other side in faux agreement in a childish attempt to make the side they are opposed to look ridiculous by agreeing to vociferously.

I think we can all agree that Obama dropped the ball in 2014 with Crimea, because that just emboldened Putin to make this invasion. What he should have done is call the Kremlin, asked if the little green men were affiliated with the Russian army, and when the usual denial comes, just wipe those units out. Similar to how it played out in Syria.

 

Crimea is the escalation to Eastern Ukraine, giving up Eastern Ukraine to a country that says the entirety of Ukraine shouldn't exist is just begging them to make a play for Central Ukraine.

 

Don't repeat Obama's mistake.

I don't think it's as easy as saying Obama should have done more. Ukraine had a pro russian president, and rampant corruption at the time, which certainly muddied the waters. There are many nuances that influenced his decision to not get directly involved. 

Here's the unspoken part.

 

The people saying Harris will take them to war now, that violence is bad, that peace needs to be had and the US shouldn't be involved in it are the EXACT same ones that claim Obama should have directly intervened with the US military.

 

But that's not my place to speak of

Schrodinger politics from the conservatives, say it ain't so.

So, apparently Adam Schiff plans to table a bill that would prevent Trump from killing his criminal trials, in the event he wins in November:

 

https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/politics/new-bill-would-prevent-trump-from-killing-criminal-cases-if-re-elected/ar-AA1rkts8?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=032f4fe3051f4e5bfa5fb597baf102e4&ei=38

 

 

Quote

 

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) is introducing legislation that would prevent Donald Trump from ending his criminal prosecutions if re-elected to another term as president.

The new bill was shared exclusively with Time Magazine, which reported that Schiff's legislation would prohibit presidents from quashing a criminal case against them, although Trump is the first former president to face criminal charges and would be the first sitting president to be prosecuted.

 

“This is about protecting our democracy and ensuring a president can’t place themselves above the law,” Schiff said “There is every indication that Donald Trump will use the Justice Department to do away with any effort to hold him accountable.”

 

“The need for swift passage of this bill could become even more pressing,” Schiff added, “depending on the outcome of the election.”

Schiff's bill would require a sworn statement from the attorney general whether a dismissal was ordered by the president or anyone acting on their behalf, and any request for dismissal would be evaluated by a three-judge panel to ensure the decision was not made unilaterally.

The panel could impose sanctions if a motion to dismiss was found lacking in good cause, and any finding that a dismissal was requested by the president would be reported to Congress by the Department of Justice's inspector general.

 

Of course, this bill stands little chance of passing, since Congress is controlled by Republicans, who are, in turn, controlled by Donald Trump.....but the bill would force them to publicly confirm that they believe the president should be above the law.

The choices for US president are dumb or dumber.  Too bad the Democrats didn't have a democratic primary so someone compotent could have been selected.  Harris only polled at 4% in 2020.

I don't even think she's using that teleprompter - it's pointed in Oprah's direction, so more than likely it's for Oprah's use.

 

The xit's poster and the people perpetuating that xit are the real frauds.
