Citizen Writers Fighting Censorship by Helping Americans Understand Issues Affecting the Republic.
Our good friends on the left — and I include the recent neoconservatives, who are not really conservative in very much among the left — are up in arms that the wicked, evil, hated President Donald Trump is trying to get at least a ceasefire, and possibly a lasting peace agreement, between Russia and Ukraine, …
If there’s anything consistent in this world today, it that former Special Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs John Bolton loves wars in which Other People have to fight. Mr Bolton, who chose to avoid service personally in the Vietnam War, a war he supported, wants the war between Russia and Ukraine to …
Our good friends on the left are just up in arms over President Trump’s meeting with Soviet Russian President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin in Alaska, ostensibly to discuss some way to end the Russo-Ukrainian War, which has been raging — well, maybe raging isn’t the right word; how about plodding along? — for 3½ years now. …
It was only a couple of days ago that the democratic West was buoyed by Ukraine’s deep strikes into Russia. From The Washington Post: Ukraine’s drones disrupt Russia with airport closures, internet blackouts As Ukrainian drones strike deep into Russian territory, they are disrupting day-to-day life and reminding Russians that the war is not confined …
No one starts a war—or rather, no one in his senses ought to do so—without first being clear in his mind what he intends to achieve by that war and how he intends to conduct it.”
~Carl von Clausewitz
Oksana Markarova, Ukraine’s ambassador to the USA, had the worst moment of her life on February 28 when she watched her boss insult President Trump in the Oval Office
America was willing to go to war with the Soviet during the Cuban Missile Crisis, a military incursion on our border. Is American willing to go to war with Russia over one of its neighbors?
I was sent this picture a few days ago and asked if it reflected reality geographically or geopolitically. My answer was a simple one to start:
“I’m like a banty rooster in a big red rooster crowd. I’m puny, short and little, but I’m loud!” Personally, I can’t think of a better description of the banty Zelensky, leader of the Ukraine.
Trump has discombobulated the NATO blowhards just as he has done with Democrats. They tried to jail him, bankrupt him and even kill him and failed, failed, failed.
It’s not only about peace, saving lives or mineral rights; it’s more about the quid pro quo conceived by Trump’s Art of the Deal – winning by advantageously creating confusion and turmoil for the opposition.
People overlook the fact that Trump’s original job at his family’s business was collecting rent. He never forgot how to evict someone.
In the wake of President Trump tossing Zelensky out of the Oval Office on Friday, I repost tonight this newsletter from January 31, 2023. I will allow readers to decide what has changed on the last 25 months. I mean, besides Trump’s second re-election.
Ah yes, the Ukraine war—the war that never had to happen, but was too profitable and geopolitically convenient for the power-hungry elites to resist.
Donald Trump campaigned on ending the war in Ukraine and many of his supporters, and voters — and yes, I voted for Mr Trump — did so based on that issue. My older daughter is in the United States Army Reserve, and the last thing I want is to see her called up to join the fight in Ukraine.
It was just Thursday that we noted former National Security Advisor and former Ambassador John Bolton and his criticism of President Donald Trump’s phone call to Russian President Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, concerning Russia’s war in Ukraine. That seems to be a constant theme among the ‘neocons.’ They think it’s horrible, just horrible, that Ukraine might …
Well, well, well—who could have guessed that dumping billions of dollars in military aid into a warzone with zero accountability would lead to, oh I don’t know, those weapons falling into the hands of criminals?
We have said it before: it doesn’t matter how much money and military aid we send to Ukraine, they cannot defeat Russia absent the US and NATO sending actual ground troops to fight Russia, and fighter aircraft and pilots to gain air superiority. Now Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy wants just that: U.S. announces more Ukraine …
As Lord Eddard Stark said in Game of Thrones, “Winter is coming.” Winter across the forests and steppes of Ukraine is bitterly cold and brutal. Our good friends at The Washington Post have spent the last 1,437 days being wholly supportive of President Joe Biden and every move he has ever made, so when they …
Sometimes there are little things hidden inside of more sensationalized stories. Though we haven’t seen as much about this recently — our American credentialed media were fixated on the election, and Israel’s war against the Palestinians — meaning that the Russo-Ukrainian War has somewhat faded into the background. Stories about foreign soldiers who traveled to …
