WNU editor: Not a reassuring speech and short press conference. First announcing sanctions against Russia, and then admitting sanctions "won't prevent anything from happening". Then answering “I have no idea” when asked if Putin is threatening a nuclear attack against the U.S.?!?!?!?

Russian soldiers from all across the country were deceived into heading to the Ukrainian border, and some were beaten if they resisted, according to the Committee of Soldiers’ Mothers, a Russian non-governmental organization that works to expose human rights violations within the military.
ReplyDeleteThe group is reportedly preparing a complaint for the Chief Military Prosecutor’s Office alleging that their sons only recently joined the military as conscripts and were told they were going to the border with Ukraine for drills. But their statuses were then abruptly changed to contract soldiers— a role for those with more combat and training experience—and they were suddenly thrust into war.
“They are switching entire regiments to contract [soldiers,] although the guys did not submit any formal requests for this, and took no such initiative. There are instances of physical violence, and beatings of those who refuse to become contract soldiers. And after that it’s completely unknown [what happens to them], because they take away their phones,” Andrei Kurochkin, the deputy chairman of the group, told Takie Dela.
We're heading towards hostilities and this is who is leading the US? Sigh. So who really is making the decision on this? Jill Biden? Klain? Someone not even in an official position? Not one reporter remotely curious?
ReplyDeleteJill Biden leading the country is a disaster. Jill the gold digger, who is a Darwinian dead end. What could go wrong?
ReplyDeleteJill thinks with her pussy like a lot of guys think with their dick. Maybe Jill is purer than that and just cares about the bling.

In this administration there is a lot to be a disaster. It is so frightening that I hope America will survive.
ReplyDeleteThis is just the beginning. An emboldened Putin will continue the march all the way to Israel. He has nothing to fear from Biden or anyone else.
