"I must say thanks for American people who can give a chance for my motherland, for my native country, for these kids, for our parents and for us," said Vadym Korobenko, a Ukrainian veteran.

Chicago’s political leadership is floating a pension buyout program as evidence it is seriously addressing the city’s thirty-six-billion-dollar unfunded pension liability, but Mark Glennon, founder of the Illinois policy research organization Wirepoints, said that the proposal moves debt from one column to another rather than reducing it, and that the broader fiscal picture facing the city continues to deteriorate across every measurable dimension.

Expect no retraction or apology. This what they do.
The state’s existing buyout program for its own pensions is the precedent for Chicago, which should be a warning: Look out for similar exaggerated claims and shoddy analysis.

The Ukraine situation reminds me of how the Vietnam mess unfolded and we did not win in Vietnam.
And with “friends” like Merkel the Moron leading the stupid Germans, how could you lose, lol…??? Merkel’s Medal https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/merkels-medal/ “Last month, Angela Merkel (remember her?) was awarded Germany’s highest civilian honor, the Grand Cross of Merit first class, special issue. It has only been awarded to three people, all former chancellors… To Merkel, the chancellor, who, a Brezhnev of sorts, presided over a long period of stagnation, who bungled the refugee crisis, who mishandled the euro-zone mess and the threat of Brexit, who wrecked her country’s energy system, and who left Germany dangerously dependent, firstly on Russia and then, adding… Read more »
Would Putin have been so bold if there wasn’t an incapacitated POTUS in the White House? And speaking of Putin, why isn’t he dead yet, as the liberal media machine suggested he would be in month 2 of this conflict. I remember those optimistic articles that appeared daily at the start of the conflict. Ukraine was putting up tremendous resistance and Putin was terminal! So let’s send billions to Ukraine! Turns out war really is hell. In the meantime those billions could have secured the US southern border.
Think of all the money the USA sent to prop up the Diem regime in South Vietnam. The USA is still apparently still fighting in Korea as the treaty was never signed by the south Korean regime, the the USA backed. and large number of troops are still stationed there. The USA supposedly won WW2 but it still has occupation troops in Japan and Germany. The USA never wins wars…it is the MIC that is the real winner
UC Prof Mearsheimer forecasted the destruction of Ukraine 7 years ago and a few days ago
defended his position in the light of recent Russian victories. Watch the Youtube video from the
Committee for the Republic posted May 23. Hopefully the coke snorting blood thirsty Ukie
president will be removed by his own people soon and not enjoy his stolen wealth,
Memorial Day is a solemn occasion for remembering our own losses!
Mearsheimer, Col Macgregor, Larry Johnson, The Duran, Big Serge, Simplicious, etc. tell the truth about Ukraine, everything else on MSM is a lie. I can’t believe how many people I know buy the lies about Ukraine. The globalists, NATO Biden and Blackrock want to carve it up for the resources, basically stealing the country from its people. They use Russia as their excuse / bad guy to justify their evil.
Would someone explain to my why we are pouring many billions down the Ukraine money sinkhole…???
Some things are more important than money.
Yes, that money flowing to uni-party war mongering donors.
financing the pensions of Ukrainian politicians and corrupt oligarchs is more important than financing the pensions of Americans, right?
PPF please weigh in
My simple statement is arguable? I’m amazed! That says more about the down-voters than it does about me.
No, it shows that you are “low – information and over – emotional” on this particular issue… and this time I’m not down – voting you, I’m just replying to you directly…
I’m one who just down – voted you, FYI…
Globalists will do anything to get at Russian natural resources. We see now that the Minsk agreement to stop the Ukrainian Azov Nazi’s from persecuting/torturing/killing the Russian speaking Donbas, Luhansk, eastern regions was all a sham. Merkel admitted it. Russia did all it can to avoid war. But it finally saw there was no talking to NATO and that their existence was threatened by NATO putting Europes largest army on Russias doorstep. It is the equivalent of Mexico forming a huge army with China on the Texas border. Ukraine is the worlds most corrupt state, it is a NATO pawn,… Read more »
“Biden” wants to be a war-time president and they never lose “elections”.
This war will be the door to wartime emergency crackdowns and the end of the contitutional republic.
Which is the goal.
