How many Billions we pouring into Ukraine to prop up an autocrat while ignoring the drugs and mayhem pouring  through our Southern Border?
In case you wondered where RedDickJimmEspn gets his marching orders:

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/cpac-tweet-ukraine-russia-b2190971.html

Although the American arm of the Russian propaganda machine had the common sense to delete the tweet and RedDickJimmEspn has, as yet, not.
And never will.
Putin and Zelensky  can duke it out all they want but not at the expense of a $100 billion+ USA pipeline that only has squeezed our tactical  and strategic weapon reserves down to dangerous levels. And leaving us weaker to worry about Russian missies over Kyiy?
Fuck that shit.

What right wing talking points?
Your argument in propping up an autocrat for no reason that benefits the USA makes no sense.
Other than we have to oppose Russia and Putin?
Why?
We have no interest in either.
Obviously you cannot really defend wasting  our money.
Or the endless stream of our money to perpetually keep Ukraine in the hands of a despot.

Sirens going off in Japan a couple of hours ago...NKorea fired a ballistic missile *at* Japan.
Said missile went over Nth Japan and landed in the Pacific ocean.
 Looks like the love for NKorea VP Harris displayed in speech recently in the DMZ fell on deaf hearts and minds.
Now is the time for treating NKorea with "Ignore, Ignore...dance to the beat".

How's my COUSAN idea going?
Coalition Of US Aligned Nations.

China is threatening to invade Taiwan.
China's good buddy NKorea is back firing ballistic missiles around.
Russia has invaded Ukraine, blowing up apartment buildings and slaughtering the People, threatening to use nukes.

Time for all countries to decide if they are IN or OUT of COUSAN.

 Zelensky asks Trump for an increase in military aid specifically, to purchase more Javelin anti-tank missiles, useful in Ukraines  ongoing conflict with Russian-backed separatists in its east.

Trump responds by saying, I would like you to do us a favor though.

The favor turns out to be about two investigations Trump would like Ukraine to conduct: one about a bizarre and unfounded theory about Ukrainian possession of a Democratic email server, the other about the Biden family

Hence my use of the word "possible," sparky.

DaSilva helped a lot of working people, far from abandoning them.  Hence his five point margin and even greater margin in pre election polling.
DaSilva is in a world of hurt even if he wins.
The Brazilian polling was so corrupt it completely missed ( maybe deliberately) the strength of the Bolsonaro Party in the Brazil House  and Senate races not to mention the governorships of Brazilian states.
To cope DaSilva will have to move rightward to get anything done.
 Or he can refuse and become a wimp like Joe Biden.

If he does nothing but stop the destruction of the Amazon that would be a big fucking deal.

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.

Why not hunt fascists at home instead? They tend to gather at all types of republican cult meetings so they are pretty easy to find.
