"The same truth that some (Acosta means FOX News) refuse to share with their viewers"

Simply untrue, Jimmy Boy.
No, he means Tucker Carlson,.specifically.

Hate to lower him to this - as his ratings soar - but Tucker is FOX's Joy Reid.  He is not doing a news show.   But if you would like I will find snippets from his shows that show the devastation in Ukraine and place proper blame.  I shouldnt have to because some CNN ahole who was kicked out of the WH corps has a roach up his butt.  But I will if I get a chance .
Tucker Carlson is the most watched prime time Cable News Show by democrats!

We have a large percentage of the population that wants to see both sides.  And wants to see well produced content.

We know you take your RT in any flavor you can get it, as long as it is pretty close in color to one of your hoods.

mrs bambu says that most Americans she stayed with/met in her travels didn't know, had never heard of this song:

 Now this nation that I love has fallen under attack
A mighty sucker punch came flyin' in from somewhere in the back
Soon as we could see clearly
Through our big black eye
Man, we lit up your world
Like the fourth of July


Hey Uncle Sam, put your name at the top of his list
And the Statue of Liberty started shakin' her fist
And the eagle will fly man, it's gonna be hell
When you hear mother freedom start ringin' her bell
And it feels like the whole wide world is raining down on you
Brought to you courtesy of the red white and blue

Justice will be served and the battle will rage
This big dog will fight when you rattle his cage
And you'll be sorry that you messed with
The U.S. of A.
Cause we'll put a boot in your ass
It's the American way


Hey uncle sam put your name at the top of his list
And the Statue of Liberty started shakin' her fist
And the eagle will fly it's gonna be hell
When you hear mother freedom start ringin' her bell
And it feels like the whole wide world is raining down on you
Brought to you courtesy of the red white and blue

Oh oh of the red, white and blue
Oh oh of my red, white and blue

Whenever they started talking about wars etc, mrs bambu started singing that song...the Americans then looked it up on their phones.

Must be about time to light up and ass boot Russia...the "Butcher of Syria" must not be allowed to slaughter millions of people in Ukraine, then Poland etc without reply.

Correct!

One side would not accept they LOST an election by popular vote and in the electoral college so they decided to overturn the electi9n and failing that tried to violently overthrow the government.

That is not the narrative being spun by Tucker who is STILL sucking the dick of Vlad The Impaler.

Goddamn cult.

The thing to do is make the Russian soldiers so terrified of being captured because of what awaits them, that they all run back into Russia crying in fear.

You act like their government is not, itself, enough to make them terrified.

Right wing governments like Russia motivate their foot soldiers by shooting the ones that they catch running away. Ukraine does better getting them to want to be captured, where they expect better treatment from their captors than they get from their officers. They also get bonuses from surrendering their equipment along with themselves.

And here to present the pro-slavery side, former Vice President John C. Calhoun...

Not all sides should be treated as morally equivalent.

I too once met a girl in Central Park, but it is not much to remember. What I remember is the time John Wayne killed three men with a carbine as he was falling to the dusty street in Stagecoach, and the time the kitten found Orson Welles in the doorway in The Third Man.

Max Boot makes clear why Ukraine has done so well at repelling Russians at the Gates of Kyiv.

Interesting historical details going back to the Crimean War.
