Military.com: Global Weapons Pipeline into Ukraine Is Being Managed by US European Command 

The military's U.S. European Command has become the organizer of a global coalition of nations sending weapons and security aid to Ukraine as it fends off Russia's efforts to conquer the country.

The command, based in Germany under Air Force Gen. Tod Wolters, is coordinating shipments to the war zone from 14 countries. 

That includes the latest $350 million in aid from the U.S., as well as newly pledged support from Germany and Sweden, as outrage over Russian President Vladimir Putin's move on Ukraine intensifies.

Angry Leftist on ‘The View’ Openly Makes the Case to Abolish the US Constitution, Calls it a “Trash” Document That Was “Written By Slavers and Colonists and Whites” – (VIDEO)

Leftist is a misnomer. Elie Mystal of "The Nation" and ABC's "The View" are well within the mainstream of the fascist Democrat Party.

FOOD WARS: Russia Bans Fertilizer Exports to Crush Global Markets – Hungary bans All Grain Exports

Almost everything a money grubbing, illogical Democrat touches contains petroleum. They have know plan on how to replace it. They do claim to have a plan to replace natural gas, oil and coal for energy production. So there is that. It is a shit plan, but they have a plan.

Is 7:17 Fred or a Fred copycat. It sure looks like a comment made by Fred. It is illogical and ungrammatical. Those a Fred hallmarks.


1) I did not mention sanctions.

2) Pointing something out in the real world does not mean or are pro or con anything.

3) The US can get around the Russian embargo by rampo9ng up US oil and fertilizer production.

Fred, did you honestly think no one would see through your false dichotomy? Maybe you did not intend a false dichotomy. Maybe you just could not reason past step one.


Why did you comment. Because you though that the information might hurt your precious Joe Biden or simply put, YOUR PRECIOUS. It will and there is nothing you are I can do about it. Biden is a decaying pigheaded know it all and the people around him are pigheaded know-it-alls.

Enjoy your grocery bill. You will get thinner.

"Biden takes a shot at Manchin for claiming Build Back Better is 'all about social spending' and says he misses being a professor at Penn University - even though he didn't teach any classes - in interview for Substack "

This is so bad.

"He said in another comment to Richardson – who prefaced questions with long historical propositions – 'You make me miss being a professor at Penn ... I really enjoyed teaching and writing.'

In fact Biden had an honorary professor position and gave some lectures at the Penn Biden Center, but didn't teach a class, according to the Daily Pennsylvanian. "

Were Biden's speeches as good as Chelsea's performance for her $600,000 gig? Are the speeches available for perusal?

a true Trumper! Childre and women being slaughtered and all you worry about is the cost of your diapers
ho ho ho
1. call those who do not believe as you do names nonstop
2. never offer a program, a comment to think about, a solid idea
3. find some silly item on a rightwing site and ask why the MSM will not talk about it (tip: because is nonsense and invalid )
4. a solution to all problems: hang someone!
5. when a comment is made you dislike (because it is true, badmouth the commenter, call him or her names, and of course do not address the comment

those are the hallmarks of rightwing Trumpers.

Lapides: "2. never offer a program, a comment to think about, a solid idea"

Me: "The US can get around the Russian embargo by ramping up US oil and fertilizer production."

Replacing loss of Russian fertilizer with American product would fill the hole or go a long ways.

So you definitely lied in #2.

No, It is the one I replied to. The rest of it was Bullshit by you also

By replying to one point and refuting with facts, you admitted you were wrong. If I had replied to every point of your BULLSHIT, you would have ignored it or deflected.



We know how you operate Fred.
