    It seems something has gone horribly wrong that the U.S. administration would fund to this degree a not so proxy war with Russia. Who benifits from the destruction of Ukraine and it’s people?

    • Johnny Paratrooper May 3, 2022 at 23:28

      Israel, China, Russia, and American Citizens of aforementioned affiliation.

    Whats to say, that hasn’t been said.

    A Simpleton only need spend 20 MIN researching Krainelandia to know Azov ARE Full Blown Nazi’s.
    Not by My Opinion and Not by Yours.
    This is a Fully Documented FACT, By Various US Govt Agencies Own Documents and as Documented by The Agendized American Media from around 2008 forward. That is up until now.
    Surprised those Docs haven’t been scrubbed yet btw.

    Worse, this Obvious attempt to Sack/Color Revolutionize Russia….is Suicide.

    Maybe the US State Dept/CIA thinks it can Color Rev these little NON-Nuclear piss ant Nations, which is WRONG. But this current Stupidity is just SUICIDE and MURDER on a “Global” Scale.

    Jamming Uncle Sams Appendage in the eye of a Well Stocked Fully Nuclear Nation, able on it’s VERY OWN at a whim to Literally Wipe Out the Entire World Population….
    Doesn’t seem like a Intelligent Political move.

    Fact, it’s the move of a INSANE High School Politcal Hack.

    The U.S. Political body has lost it’s way on a Grand Scale.
    The Current U.S. Political Body has picked up Nazi Germany’s 3rd Reich Flag AND Political INTENT and Is moving it forward in it’s OWN Way.
    CONTROL CONTROL Con-Troll.
    Dictate Dictate Dictate.
    We Have Become what we use to goto War agianst.

    McCarthy WAS CORRECT as was Yuri Bezmenov and it has Infected The DemoKRAUTS, The State Dept and CIA.
    Lets not even delve into the current state of America’s Rainbow Sex Cult Milititary.

    One only need reverse the current game and Place Russia and Putin in Mexico AND Canada as we have done in Europe since “The Wall” came down.
    Look what we did because of just Cuba in 62.

    As for Putin/Russia…As it stands today.
    NATO and The United States LIED after “The Wall” came down !
    Period Full Stop FACT.

    The U.S. and NATO have been stalking Russia with the Idea of Politically Roofieing and Raping her for too long.
    And she’s tired of it. I Do Not Blame her.
    Ya may hate Putin, cool whatever…
    But there is No Denying what NATO, The U.S. State Dept AND CIA have been upto… NO GOOD for too Damn Long.

    These 2 Bodies, need a VERY Serious Bleaching.
    As does the DemoKRAUT Party.

    Sell-Insky and his Nazi Punks are as Evil and Crooked as is any Russian Mob or South American Criminal Gang. And we are Helping them while waving Democracy and the American Flag, Women’s Rights and some BS Sex Cult Agenda.
    Well….BS and 🖕🏻🖕🏻 To that.

    We got much BIGGER problems with the current State of CONUS as it is, at This Hour, On This Day, on all Fronts.

    We best Police OUR Own House before we continue Traipsing around Blowing shit up, killing and being killed.
    You’d Think after 20 plus GD years we would have had enough. Evidently NOT.
    🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻You too Defense Industry. You Self Serving Greedy Azz MF’rz.

    Hey FBI/DHS….
    When are you going to END ANTIFA you worthless shitheads. They are The GD Embodiment of “Domestic Terrorists” and “Domestic Terrorism”as Defined BY YOU.
    Talk about needing a Serious GD Bleaching, TAG, Your It Shitheads !!
    We call BS on your White Supremacist LIES !

    Hell, what away to start aday. Now I’m F&$kin all sorts of pissy😂

    In a few weeks or months at most none of this bric’a’brac of ‘assistance’ will matter in the grand scheme. Sure more people will die but the Ukrainian state is about to be another footnote to the Cold War.

    • Johnny Paratrooper May 4, 2022 at 10:57

      And the first of many for 21st Century Cold Wars.

      Expect to see action in Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America.

    Finally, someone out there gets it and says what so many won’t say. Thank you Chris.
