One of the many reasons that they need to stop fighting; and never should have started to begin with.
Of course. Tenet is done. It was a company with fraudulent foreign ownership- and it was irrelevant anyway. The content creators' channels that Tenet was buying content from have a larger fanbase than Tenet itself- I don't think I've even heard of Tenet prior to this scandal. It's not like the Russians invented anti-interventionism in the US; Considering Tim Pool actually was present at the maidan riots in 2014, he of all people doesn't need help from Russia to form a negative opinion about the current Ukrainian government; nor does he need to justify opposing a conflict that potentially ends with the deaths of billions of people.
Many empires have fallen throughout history because of foolish foreign interventions- trying to expand their influence and stupid ideologies around the world. The United States is not immune to that; and a lot of people understand that. I'm not gonna promote the idea of the United States making reckless moves to spread ungodly ideologies half-way around the world, or put my faith in "American hegemony" or our foreign alliances- not that we can't have those things; because we absolutely can- but they are not a priority- especially not over correcting domestic problems. "We can do both!!!" says the neocons...but we're not. That's the problem. "Remove the plank from your own eye" is what we need to do first- not try and juggle it with policing the world at the same time.
I can agree that three Presidents have abjectly and completely failed in their policies towards Ukraine and the growing Russian problem. (George W, Obama, and Trump) Biden wasn't great either with his son meddling in Ukrainian affairs....but that's spilled milk at this point.
All three failed so spectacularly that it is no wonder they look at us as if we are crazy and out of our freaking minds. Especially when Hunter got involved with Barisma and Trump was all concerned about that.
Sure, the M. I. C. Was very interested in testing their products in true battlefield conditions. But what really was a failure was Trump losing his election and Biden needing a nap during briefings about how Russia was massing troops together for a Ukranian invasion. The M.I.C. won when a decision was needed.
Should Ukraine lay down and die?
Because that literally is the question.
Russia will commit genocide. It's not like they haven't been trying. Ukraine has NEVER invaded anyone. They have never sought to take more territory or control.
Despite the claims of corruption, which is a red herring of an internal matter, the USA had been defaulting on treaty demands. We have not helped them in a timely manner when it mattered most.
Treaties after our disaster in Ukraine are going to be impossible. We might as well not bother with a State Dept after the highlighting of our failures. We totally did not fulfill our part of the bargain.
In short....the
USA has become liars on the world stage. Especially when people like you keep spouting "pull out of Ukraine".
I, nor anyone else, is going to buy your excuses as to why we shouldn't keep our treaty with Ukraine. "Bill Clinton was a Democrat"....big deal....nobody in the world cares. They only see the lies from the USA. If there was a problem with the treaty then....that was the time to whine....not now. It's too late.
Tim Pool is effectively silenced as well as several other pro Russian propaganda influencers. They are all going to jail for knowingly being paid to promote Russian propaganda.
And if you currently believe that Vance is going to stop all help to Ukraine.....you really shouldn't believe any politician so readily. Russia is currently moving at breakneck speed to conquer as much as possible before the election and transfer....because he knows a world of cesspool is coming.
