The *OFFICIAL* Russia Is About To Invade Ukraine Thread

Not that this is a surprise to any of us normal non cult people…

As president, Donald Trump “made it very clear” that he thought Ukraine “must be part of Russia”, his former adviser Fiona Hill says in a new book about US national security under threat from Russia and China.



“Trump made it very clear that he thought, you know, that Ukraine, and certainly Crimea, must be part of Russia,” Hill, senior director for European and Russian affairs on the US national security council between 2017 and 2019, tells David Sanger, a New York Times reporter and author of New Cold Wars: China’s Rise, Russia’s Invasion, and America’s Struggle to Defend the West.

“He really could not get his head around the idea that Ukraine was an independent state.”

This, Sanger writes, meant Trump’s view of Ukraine was “essentially identical” to that of Vladimir Putin

No wonder he got along so well with the world’s strongmen. He gave them everything they wanted. Like a prostitute.

Trump thought Ukraine ‘must be part of Russia’ during presidency, book says

Ex-president ‘could not get his head around the idea that Ukraine was an independent state’, former adviser Fiona Hill tells author

Interesting article. It’s sad how even our allies can see what trumpers domestically refuse to see. Our nation’s enemies all want Trump to be president.

Budanov predicted that Russia will launch a big offensive starting in June to try to capture all of Donetsk and Luhansk, the two provinces known as the Donbas region, which Russia has claimed but doesn’t control. The Russians will then focus on the November elections in the United States and the aftermath. “Until the inauguration of your president, they will try to get as much as possible of the territories of Donetsk and Luhansk,” perhaps hoping that a reelected President Donald Trump can ratify their gains.

What did any of this accomplish? We’ve delayed sending aid for 6+ months. How many lives could’ve been saved had republicans just passed the damn aid? What have their gotten out of any of this delaying? If anything they’ve proven to Americans that they don’t deserve the majority come this fall.

Restoring Roe nation wide, killing off the Trump tax cuts (his only real piece of legislation), and keeping Ukraine and Israel well armed begins with us retaking the House.

Elections have consequences.

What a colossal jerk…..the woman thinks her positions are her ticket to POWER. It’s actually her ticket to being labeled a traitor and laughing stock(she’s already achieved that much) by future histories of our times. All this just part of her plan to be a power broker, to be important. Sadly, destined to be seen as a rather disgusting nitwit instead.

And for what? What did delaying 6 months do to help the GOP? We could’ve passed this months ago and saved countless lives.

For nothing, but right now I’m hoping the aid is coming.

Check out the crazy lady from Georgia, and her associates, and her transparent alignment with Vladimir Putin. She is indeed Putin’s Congressional envoy. Withdraw from NATO, etc etc….

“Extremists Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Thomas Massie (R-KY) vowed to throw House speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) out of the speakership, but Democrats Tom Suozzi of New York and Jared Moskowitz of Florida have said they would vote to keep him in his seat, thereby defanging the attack on his leadership….

….Greene was especially active in opposition to aid to Ukraine. She tried to amend the bill to direct the president to withdraw the U.S. from NATO and demanded that any members of Congress voting for aid to Ukraine be conscripted into the Ukraine army as well as have their salaries taken to offset funding. She wanted to stop funding until Ukraine “turns over all information related to Hunter Biden and Burisma,” and to require Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky to resign. More curiously, she suggested amending the Ukraine bill so that funding would require “restrictions on ethnic minorities’, including Hungarians in Transcarpathia, right to use their native languages in schools are lifted.” This language echoes a very specific piece of Russian propaganda.

Finally, Moskowitz proposed “that Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene…should be appointed as Vladimir Putin’s Special Envoy to the United States Congress.”….

….instability made Freedom Caucus members nervous enough to put together a Floor Action Response Team (FART—I am not making this up) to make sure other Republicans didn’t limit the power of the extremists when they were off the floor.
….The name of their response team seems likely to be their way to signal their disrespect for the entire Congress.”

I will not spend the rest of 2024 focusing on Trump and the chaos in the Republican Party, but today it has been impossible to look away.

This excuse of the human being rivals Trump which one is more repulsive.

That is a tough one. I still say trump though. He has such a long history of being a scummy douchebag that it really isn't a fair competition.

Trump was stealing from charities and making fake universities way back before anyone had ever heard of MTG.


Now trump will be dead soon and MTG has quite a few years left (if we are going by average lifespan) so she might catch up to him someday but for now it's still trump.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but the deal Repubs rejected several months ago included stronger border legislation, right? So they could’ve had that. And now they’re getting nothing, right?

Wow

I’m certainly not tired from all of this winning! Can’t wait for this fall where Donald drags the entire ticket down with him. So much winning!

Yes, as far as I know, no money in bill for southern border security.
