The amoral cluelessness, carelessness and contemptuousness of the neocons is on full display for all the world to see, yet they have no shame. Using Ukraine and it’s people as fodder for their nefarious little schemes is about as despicable as it can get, “Hey, you guys don’t want to march merrily into a slaughterhouse? No problem, but we’re done with you! Have a nice day.” The cavalier manner that these people throw away other peoples lives away is beneath contempt!! As far as I am concerned, Blinken, Sullivan, Rice, Nuland and all the rest of these lowlifes should have their useless asses dropped off right in the middle of the front line fighting-slaughter and see how long they last.

This whole mess makes me so frickin mad that I could bite a railroad spike in half.

“America is an evil empire!”

I would have boldfaced that one too! If true, a truly shocking sentiment coming from Poles.

To launch or not to launch…the moral turpitude of the Nato countries, their lack of integrity or probity in stepping up and calling a spade a spade, standing by passively as China teaches a lesson or two about diplomacy - combined with the utterly rotten and demented cabal in DC - generals, legislators, advisors (highly paid “gofers”) and the think tank/journo mobs - has led Ukraine, and Ukraine has let itself be led, into an impossible position. Mercouris cites Greek tragedy. I think myself there won’t be an offensive - already the Russians are proving more and more their mettle. Either way Ukraine is doomed. The question I ask is, when does Zelensky break? Mercouris, from 1:14 - very somber:

…hopeful news out of Poland though…and some realism from one of the top brass there too…

Some place I read that Russia was blowing up ammo and supply dumps that were for offensive, and US/Nato was unhappy at centralization.

But at some point you do need to have some degree of centralization--otherwise the logistics become impossible.

Assassinated with a cyanide dust spraying gun. Fun fact: if you're issued a killer spray gun, code mandates you wear a fez to the event...like Wil Ferrell in Austin Powers.

Sorry. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stepan_Bandera

Bandera was a Nazi collaborator and war criminal in WW2 and is now a national hero in Ukraine, especially among Ukro-Nazis.

I believe idiot American actor Mark Hamill recently was photographed with some Bandera-admiring Ukrainian units and, of course, remained clueless.

Maybe she got the trade done in the nick of time:

Hard to believe but good to see broad support for this. I will be impressed, though, only if and when it passes.

Which makes one wonder to what extent the US enabled corruption in Ukraine is a way of buying off their government to lure them away from China and Russia. The Ukrainian nationalists have destroyed their country and only their criminal ruling class has profited. Made out like bandits.

One of my all time favorites. I remember crying with laughter the first time I heard it.
