  4. So the “working class” girlfriend and friends of the community organizer stabbed to death in NYC are raising money so they can go on vacation and have time and space to grieve.

    “Hi everyone. We are a collective of Ryan’s close friends, reeling from a brutal loss,” the fundraiser began.

    “We are asking for your help on behalf of his partner in easing the burden and stress of this horrifying situation so that we can have space and time to grieve, and remember Ryan,” it said.

    ”The enthusiasm in the western media for an imminent Ukrainian victory over Russia has been ever circular; people who only get their news from corporate sources are likely to believe that Russia is about to be defeated any day now. However, as with all propaganda campaigns the public eventually grows tired of hollow optimism and skeptical of bombastic claims. Influencing hearts and minds is a fading prospect if your campaign is based on lies.

    If the war has taught people anything it is to never trust establishment media sources to be accurate in their reporting, or prescient in their predictions.

    A year ago we heard a deafening chorus of voices in the west suggesting that Ukraine’s victory was all but assured. The media’s boasts were relentless, but the numbers just didn’t add up. Zelensky’s appetite for NATO money and arms kept growing instead of waning. Recruitment efforts were expanding to include more women and older men. The talk of a glorious counter-offensive went on for months with no concrete actions taken. Rumors of mass deaths at Bakhmut circulated and it became clear that it doesn’t matter how many weapons NATO sends to Ukraine, there aren’t enough soldiers to utilize them.”

    Poor Janzam the Putin doormat stooge, still believes her Kremlin propaganda that the arms deliveries from the West have no impact on the war.

    News for Janzam that is not Russian propaganda: the only reason Ukraine has not been annexed yet by Russia IS western aid.

    And of course the counter offensive is delivering results despite the Putin lapdogs trying to pretend it isn’t. Ukraine has regained territory and has even crossed the Dnipro. It has successfully destroyed a lot of Russia’s naval infrastructure in Crimea.

    “Nov. 20, 2023 |

    Today, the Department of Defense (DoD) announced additional security assistance to meet Ukraine’s critical security and defense needs. This announcement is the Biden Administration’s fifty-first tranche of equipment to be provided from DoD inventories for Ukraine since August 2021. This package includes additional air defense capabilities, artillery ammunition, anti-tank weapons, and other equipment to help Ukraine defend its sovereign territory and fight for its freedom from Russia’s ongoing war of aggression.

    This package utilizes assistance previously authorized for Ukraine during prior fiscal years under Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA) that remained after the PDA revaluation process.

    The capabilities in this package, valued at up to $100 million, include:

    Stinger anti-aircraft missiles;
    One High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) and additional ammunition;
    155mm and 105mm artillery rounds;
    Tube-Launched, Optically-Tracked, Wire-Guided (TOW) missiles;
    Javelin and AT-4 anti-armor systems;
    More than 3 million rounds of small arms ammunition;
    Demolitions munitions for obstacle clearing;
    Cold weather gear; and
    Spare parts, maintenance, and other ancillary equipment.”

    I think the Ukrainians will find plenty of soldiers to use this equipment to kill Russians.

    Sorry Janzam.

    Your hero and icon Putin could end the war tomorrow by pulling out of the sovereign country he invaded.

  21. ”After over $100 billion in unaccounted for US taxpayer dollars was funneled off to Ukraine, US President Joe Biden and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz have a new plan for Ukraine.

    According to Germany’s Bild newspaper, the secret plan calls on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to come to the realization that things cannot go on like this. And Zelensky should explain to his nation that negotiations must be carried out.

    The latest German-US plan involves the US and West supplying Ukraine with enough weapons to hold the current front and to give up any expectations of recapturing the lost eastern territories taken by Russia.

    This explosive report reveals that Chancellor Scholz and US President Biden want to bring the Russia-Ukraine war to an end soon.

    Ukraine President Zelensky should be forced in a very specific way to negotiate with Kremlin dictator Putin – and accept brutal compromises.”

  22. I read what Ukraine’s top generals, aids and other world leader assessments are regarding the state of the Russia/Ukraine war. They describe it as being a “stalemate,” lacking young fighters, continued graft and corruption of aid, no real oversight of funding, and “war fatigue” setting in as more people flee conscription or living in a war environment. You and Bitter can throw barbs and gripe about opinions which don’t match your own. However, such blistering responses are becoming delusional in demonstrating a real understanding of the circumstances forming the underpinnings of what’s really happening in this war.

    “Nov 22

    Germany and France are leading a new ground-based air defense coalition designed to bolster Ukraine’s ability to defend against Russian missile and drone threats.

    The 20-nation coalition was announced Wednesday as part of the 17th meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group (UDCG), an organization of some 50 nations gathering to provide Kyiv with what it needs to keep fighting Russia.

    “I appreciate the leadership of Germany and France in organizing this important initiative,” U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said Wednesday before the virtual meeting. Combined, UDCG members have provided Ukraine with more than $80 billion in security assistance since early 2022.

    Following the meeting, Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov lauded Germany for providing a new $1.4 billion aid commitment announced Tuesday that includes an unspecified number of additional IRIS-T air defense systems with interceptors and one additional Patriot air defense system. Those as well as about 20,000 155mm artillery shells and 8,000 anti-tank mines will be delivered by mid-December, Umerov said.”

    Bitter and Jason have become echo chambers mimicking a mean-spirited type of stupidity in their hollow support of continuing such an ill-fated war:

    ”Robert Fico, the Slovak premier, has said the Ukraine war risks lasting until 2030 if peace talks are not started. The populist Left-winger won September’s general election, pledging during the campaign to discontinue the military aid given to Ukraine by previous governments.

    “This conflict is frozen, it is in a state wherein it may last until 2029 or 2030,” Mr Fico said. “It is better to lead talks for 10 years in peace or with suspended combat operations than to go to the negotiations table after 10 years without any result, only to find out that we have another 500,000 or 600,000 dead.”

    In the Netherlands, Geert Wilders, campaigned in the elections on a promise to halt arms shipments to Ukraine.”
