    Nothing. We give arms to Ukraine as do 30 Nato countries and they fight the war. Reading comprehension problem? Russia attacked Ukraine. Duh

    No Ville I’m worried about you. Since you like “Good Will Hunting” so much. Remember, it’s not your fault. It’s not your fault.

    Actually I find you amusing. Tell us again about your thoughts on COVID. In case you missed it, the nonsense is ramping up again.
    I got a better idea. Why don’t you tell us all your thoughts on ukraine/Russia so I have something to laugh it later.

    Yep. There are a few on here that don’t understand foreign policy and U.S. interests. And then there is Brew who gets butthurt over it because he thinks like Vivek who is a fucking moron and made his money by completely fucking people over in big pharma.

    The speedy trial aspect in Georgia will be interesting to watch. 2 of the co-defendants (Sidney Powell and Ken Chesebro) have requested a speedy trial; they would start mid to late October if they don't hit any snags along the way. AD Fani Willis now wants everyone to start their trial simultaneously in the same timeframe, although that's very unlikely to happen. Also recall that the initial timeframe was mid-March to start for everyone. Given the amount of discovery involved, I can't imagine that only 2 months will be sufficient to go all over it.

    My guess is that just these 2 people (along with anyone else who exercises the speedy trial) go ahead and go to court in October. We'll also see if anyone else flips on Trump in that timeframe. I'm also guessing that the motions to switch this to a federal venue (i.e. Mark Meadows, Jeffrey Clark) are going to be denied.

    I see that Ukraine is a buffer zone between Russia and NATO nations. I also understand Eastern Ukraine is more sympathetic to Russia. I would argue there is a limit on how much we should spend on this war and I don’t think we should escalate it by sending certain weapons/weapon systems. Also, Ukraine may have to concede territory to end the fighting. Not a fan of it however that may be the solution.

    I also understand how US energy policy allowed the Russians to fund their war machine and US policy during the Obama admin led to Putin taking Crimea.

    Ukraine needs aide but We shouldn’t be giving them about 10 times more then any other country. Just think if a sitting Republican where doing the same thing. Libs would be losing there shit talking about our homeless problems. Funny No one caresabout that now because they they have no one to blame

    That should be interesting. More interesting is which version of the audio/phone call was presented to the Grand Jury.

    Also, here’s an interview with an actual lawyer on the similarities to the challenges to the 2020 and 2000 elections:

    I dunno, you said:

    "We don't need to be the World's Policemen."

    But nothing has changed? I don't even think Joe Biden could lie that nakedly?

    If you had gone back to read what I wrote, you’d see that I completely agree with you in regards to crimea.

    Interesting your position (close to mine) is pretty far different than Vivek and Lou but yet you felt the need to reply with a juvenile post in the first place. I guess you were just bored.
