Tulsi Gabbard in 2019:

"The United States needs to keep our hands off Venezuela... end these destructive and wasteful regime change wars... proven to cause more problems, increase suffering, increase instability for the people in the countries where we wage these wars. In Latin America especially".

OTD in 2002 Russian foreign minister Lavrov said it was Ukraine's decision to join NATO if it wanted.

Which is *very* strange thing to say if you got a promise from NATO that Ukraine wasn't going to be allowed to even apply. Or maybe it's bullshit.

Vot Isamaa jt popid perakonnad.. siin on teie tööpõld kui tegelikult Eesti tuleviku pärast muretsete..
Jõukad mehed võtavad vanemahüvitise endale. Kodune ema: „Jäin selle skeemiga nõustudes konksu otsa. Kaotasin kõik“
Kümme ema räägivad oma kogemusest, millega peaks arvestama naised, kes täna Eestis sünnitada otsustavad. Läbivad märksõnad nende lugudes on üksindus ja ebavõrdsus, mida ei lahenda universaalsed lastet...

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has stated that the 1918 flu pandemic was caused by a lab virus from vaccine research, a defective influenza vaccine. Let’s analyze what a lie this is. First, in 1918, 107 years ago, virology was in its infancy

“During the Korean War, negotiations dragged on for three years - until Stalin died,” commented a source close to Zelenskyy on the current talks.

I guess it gives us an idea of just how much of a waste of time and energy that was.

During WWI, then minister-of-munitions David Lloyd George looked at the BEF's estimates for machine guns (4 per battalion) and quipped, "square it, multiply that result by 2, and when you are in sight of that, double it again for good luck."

Which turned out to be the real final number.
there is also an awful lot of advantage if you have 3m 155m shells when you only needed 1.5m

We are told that, under stress, the humanities must be sacrificed. But amidst a war of aggression scholars in Ukraine have undertaken one of the most ambitious knowledge projects of our time. It's a privilege to be involved with Ukrainian History Global Initiative

He’s gesturing to a sleeping man as he says “He’s the only leader in the world who can help end [the war in Ukraine].”
Trump dozes while Marco Rubio speaks to him directly next to him. Just insane optics.

Except, of course, it’s *not* all he can say.

Cassidy could concede publicly that confirming Kennedy was a tragic mistake. He could call for RFK Jr's resignation. He could schedule hearings, haul the secretary to Capitol Hill, and demand the CDC’s public resources reflect the scientific cannon.
TAPPER: You were the deciding vote that allowed RFK Jr to ascend to the role of Health Secretary. Did you give him too much credit?

CASSIDY: The fact is the scientific community agrees that vaccines are safe. That's all I can say.

Ein weiteres Kriegsverbrechen, welche die „Kulturnation russland“ stolz dokumentiert und zeigt:

Diese Mörder jagen mit FPV-Drohnen zivile Landwirte bei der Ernte in der Region Donetsk auf ihren Feldern.

Und was macht der Westen? Diskutieren ob man das Geld dieser Mörder verwenden darf. 😡🤮
