nbcnews:

"Ukraine blows up Kursk bridges to disrupt Russian supply lines across Seim River."

#####

 The war continues.
Many years to go yet...unless Russia calls it off....the war it started.

----- 

SkyNews scroll thru the other day:

US-Russian ballerina sentenced to 12 years in prison for donating $51 to a charity supporting Ukraine."

Yes, doesn't pay to have a kind heart and compassion in Russia.

Amateur ballerina, Ksenia Karelina, dual citizenship, pleaded guilty, convicted of treason in a trial held behind closed doors.

Oh well, at least she wasn't sentenced to death.
12 years in a Russian prison, her life is basically over.
If only she'd based herself in the US.

At the very least, boost the export of Swiss Army knives.   You don't want soldiers along a frontline unable to open canned peaches or a bottle of wine.

Australia to send 49 tanks to Ukraine.
Not new ones, but in very good condition ... and superior to Russia's tanks.

At last! Trump let's us know who is really to blame:

"Zelensky is one of the greatest salesmen I've ever seen. ... I feel very badly for those people. But he should never have let that war start. That war is a loser."

Kim to Putin, We will give you 12000 troops for your fight against Ukraine!

NoKo troops, Thank you for the opportunity to escape to the West!

That is funny about the North Koreans escaping to freedom in the West.

I sent ideas to the President of Colombia, and to the President of Mexico, about releasing prisoners from Latin America to Lebanon to help to take control of Lebanon for the Christians, with help from Israel, and from the Jews in New York, and with help from the Pope, etc. And the French can send clothes and perfume, etc, and we can send Lebanon goods to open Department Stores, and to create wealth and prosperity, etc.

Colombia and New Orleans can also expand trade, and Shakira and Sofia Vergara can open restaurants in New Orleans, etc.

And to improve relations between Mexico and California then it would be cool if Richard Branson can have ships sailing between Marina Del Rey in California, and Acapulco in Mexico, and they can have gambling on the ships, and they can have the best food, and they can drink margaritas and 7&7s and San Miguel beer, etc.

The Russians are all coming to New York City, we have a lot of Russians in New York now. They can discuss how to stop the war and how to save Russia and how to save Ukraine at the Russian Tea Room in Central Park.

I had a friend from Ukraine who helped the homeless in California, he was Cheech Marin's Uncle, he married Cheech's Aunt Maria, he was a great guy who helped a lot of people.

The people from Poland love Detroit, Michigan, and maybe the people from Ukraine are coming to Michigan, I am not sure, I am not sure where the refugees from Ukraine are coming to.

Of note, Kirk Douglas was a Russian Jew and he was great.

The Russian women also work at the Calico Club in Battle Mountain, Nevada.

Israel killed the Hamas leader, so now maybe Israel can head to peace, and we can release prisoners from Latin America to help in Lebanon, etc, and the Pahlavi Family needs to take control of Iran, etc.

Universal Studios has a theme park in Beijing now, and we are improving relations with China, and we can send food to the poor in China and we can teach them about Jesus while we are feeding them, and the poor from China can come live along Route 66 if they want, etc.

Peace is achievable.

Salute,

Tony V.

The USA spends far more than any other nation on Defense, but at the same time we make all of the best defense items and so the whole world is buying Fighter Jets from us, etc. So, it balances out, because Lockheed, and Northrop, and Boeing, etc, invent and create the new defense items, then the USA can sell defense items to the rest of the world.

Trump is going to be President again, and he claims he will have peace with Russia, but I still think that we need to punish Putin and we need to send Putin to Guantanamo Bay. I hope that Trump does not pardon Putin.

I like the leaders in Europe, and Pope Francis is great. And I like Claudia Sheinbaum, and Petro of Colombia.

And like I said, the Jews in New York can help, and the Russian Jews, and the Russians at the Russian Tea Room can help, etc, on the issue of Ukraine, and on the issue of Lebanon, etc.

On the issue of the Calico Club in Battle Mountain, Nevada, they need to invest in the Club, and they need to make it really nice and upscale. And people can learn from the Calico Club and cities like New York, Chicago, Detroit, Saint Louis, etc, can have legal Cat Houses like the Calico Club, and the clubs can be legal and safe.

Salute,

Tony V.

Terrible mess around the world, another reason the dems lost so badly. Two major wars with many innocents dying. Putin and the Ayatollah, quite the pair have a low value on life. No one listens to Biden.

LoL.  From Feb. 2022 thru August 2024, EU and individual countries are providing 101.5 billion to Ukraine aid.  US providing 92.7 billion.

US is providing at 0.39 percent of its GDP.  UK at 0.47.  Netherlands at 0.68.  German at 0.38.  Denmark 1.86.  Proportionate to economy, we are far from the largest contributor.

Putin, seemingly emboldened by talks of peace ( some say 'surrender') is reportedly about to launch a massive ground invasion of Ukraine with 50,000 troops, including those from Nth Korea.

So much for being scared of Trump.
Donald seemingly doesn't understand the world of today.
There's no talking with Putin, Iran/ayatollahs anywhere, Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis in Yemen etc.
The only languages they understand are exploding pagers, missiles, bombs, bullets, cities in rubble.
Ask Israel.

Break out the drones, stealths, missiles launched from trucks etc...wipe out Putin's 50.000 troops as soon as they start their invasion...send the 10,000 North Korean troops back to their master in body bags, might wake him up...might.

Sky News:

Russia launches missile attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure.

Biden lifts ban on Ukraine using US missiles.

#####

Ukraine will now be able to fire missiles deep into Russia.
Putin is threatening WW3 if that happens.

Oh well, the West was asleep, happily dozing...oblivious to the desires of axis of Russia, China, Nth Korea, Iran, Houthis, Hamas, Hezbollah etc.
Now look what's happened.

No US-Allies troops to be used as cannon fodder in WW3!

China is our ally, no need to make an enemy out of China. China wants to be friendly, and they want to do trade. And Universal Studios has a theme park in Beijing now. And the homeless and poor people from China can come live along Route 66, etc. And we have China Town in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, and we have a growing China Town in Las Vegas. Also, the Cowboys in the West need wives, the Chinese women make good wives for the Cowboys. We need peace with China.

On the issue of Iran, we have Queen Farah Pahlavi and Mahlagha Jaberi and a new movie will be out soon about Farah, the film will start a movement in Iran maybe. Maybe the good people can take over Iran. And we have 1 Million Persians from Iran living here in Los Angeles now.

We also need for the good people to be strong in Mexico, and in El Salvador, and in Colombia, etc.

The Russians in New York can help in Ukraine and in Russia.

Salute,

Tony V.
