Best money we've ever spent," Graham can be heard saying before proceeding to shake hands with an approving Zelensky as they both smirk over what has just been stated. The optics paint an ugly picture indeed. He tried to explain away the comments by saying he was taken out of context. If there is another context which excuses taking pleasure in wishing the death of fellow human beings, I'd like to see it. Trump said it best in a recent Town Hall meeting (that was hosted by CNN of all networks) when he said that it was a tragedy that many young men are being killed on both sides, Russian and Ukrainian.

    The demonisation of the Russian people by the western media and western governments is a disgrace.
    Idiot politicians like Graham and media clowns like Sean Hannity are destroying the conservative movement in the US.
    The Republicans have too many of those types in the party to clearly make a point of difference from the lunatics on the Left.

    I'd say your Russian example is similar to operation paperclip. But ruling organisations that are supposed to support the free world isn't anything the Russians allowed. They aren't that stupid or hypocritical.

    Is the insinuation that NATO is a nazi organisation? If so, does this make Russia a nazi state?

    According to polisci scholar John Mearsheimer: “The Russians are going to win the war. They’re not going to win a decisive victory, but they’re going to end up conquering a huge chunk of Ukrainian territory beyond what they already have.”

    I can see motivation for Wagner money people using casualties as an excuse to justify more payment for future campaigns. Similar stuff is on CNN. I doubt we'll ever know the true statistics on both sides.

    For the first time, someone with direct knowledge of casualties has spoken up.

    Wagner Group financier Yevgeny Prigozhin claimed during an interview with Russian political strategist Konstantin Dolgov on May 23 that Wagner lost 10,000 convict recruits and 10,000 full-time professional Wagner fighters killed in action over the course of the Battle for Bakhmut.[1]
    Discussions regarding reported Russian losses in Bakhmut have saturated the pro-war information space and are drowning out any remaining positive informational effect resulting from the city’s capture. Wagner Group financier Yevgeny Prigozhin claimed d

    EXCLUSIVE from a Nord Stream Sabotage whistleblower:

    I am writing to you as a concerned citizen of the world, wishing for a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Ukraine. My identity is not of importance. What matters is the sharing of my story so that the world can understand the truth about the Nord Stream Sabotage, thereby moving forward without lies or inaccuracies. As many of you may know, a series of clandestine bombings and subsequent underwater gas leaks occurred on the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipelines on September 26, 2022. While there has been much speculation about the nature of this sabotage, I aim to provide additional details and facts that will give a clearer picture. Before the attacks on September 11, 2001, I started working with contractors at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Lab in Maryland. We were working on the Advanced Seal Delivery System (ASDS), a covert mini-submarine designed for the Navy Seals to carry out stealthy clandestine missions. This submarine is transported on the back of nuclear submarines and detaches to execute its missions. I was chosen to work on this project, and my role was to assist in the programming of the full-sized, temperature-controlled simulator for the submarine on which the Navy Seals would train. The simulator featured screens that displayed a 3D simulation of the ASDS undocking from a nuclear submarine, executing its mission, and then returning to dock. I spent countless hours in the simulator, ensuring everything functioned as specified. I piloted the simulator on simulated missions, just like the Navy Seal pilots would before their actual missions. Even in 2001, we had the ability to program a variety of scenarios, including the sabotaging of pipelines. Although I did not pilot a simulated mission specifically for the Nord Stream pipelines, I did simulate scenarios of covertly sabotaging pipelines. I can confirm that the United States has had this capability for decades, and the ASDS is in the US inventory, fully capable of executing the Nord Stream Sabotage. Publicly available radar evidence from http://flightradar24.com helps shine light on how the Nordstream sabotage was conducted. As exposed by Seymour Hersh, the explosives were planted during the Baltops 22 maritime exercises. Although speculation remains as to the exact method of explosives placement, I believe that the modern Advanced Seal Delivery System (ASDS) was utilized with Navy divers. This mirrors the way I would have conducted the mission in the simulator.

    Will Schryver:

    I've just listened to this interview with John Helmer, who is convinced NATO is planning an ambush attack against Russia as soon as June 12th, under the guise of long-planned NATO exercises in Germany, Poland, and Romania.

    Helmer believes this "ambush attack" will incorporate a full complement of top-shelf US air assets, including F-22s and F-35s.

    While I do not categorically dismiss the possibility of such an astounding move by the US and its NATO vassals, I consider it effectively impossible. It is, in my judgment, an unthinkable and assuredly catastrophic escalation to no-holds-barred World War 3.

    So, I suppose we must all "wait and see", but I remain highly dubious that the #EmpireAtAllCosts cult has sufficiently seized the reins of American military power that it could bring to pass an act of such unmitigated madness.

    Rumors that the frontline is collapsing. Unconfirmed reports that Chromove has fallen as well.
