”People wonder why we weren’t better prepared for this war. Why Zelensky denied until the end that it would come to this,” he said.
Mr Zelensky’s opponents have turned up the volume in recent weeks, accusing him of mishandling the counteroffensive, failing to stamp out corruption, dodging a presidential election scheduled for March and losing international political goodwill.
Time to end war
Last month, Oleskiy Arestovych, Mr Zelensky’s former adviser, said that he wanted to challenge the Ukrainian Presidency and that it was now time to start talking to the Kremlin about ending the war.
Mr Zelensky has pledged never to negotiate with the Kremlin.
Mr Klitschko said he agreed with Ukraine’s military commander-in-chief, Valery Zaluzhny, that the war had become a stalemate. Maj Gen Zaluzhny’s comments, in an interview with the Economist, had angered Mr Zelensky, who advised his top brass to stick to fighting and stay out of politics.
“Sometimes people just don’t want to hear the truth,”Mr Klitschko said.
There is a video circulating showing two Ukrainian soldiers who read HHRphoenix, found Jan’s comments and decided to take her advice. So they came out of hiding, held up their hands, and Russian soldiers promptly pushed them to the ground and filled them full of bullets, killing them.
The following is a list of those threatened by a DJT presidency:
Legacy media
Racial/gender grievance industry
Military/financial/pharma industrial complex
Koch’s open orders/globalist trade powerhouse pushing Nikki Haley
Big business
Republican Party establishment
Never Trumpers
Weaponized Justice Department
Trump re-election is offering a known commodity with a skill set of “been there, done that,” and a record of policy successes unlike any of his opponents have – Haley, RDS, RFK, Vivek and so on.
DW would like to have a link to such a video, as I’ve seen other videos showing Ukrainian soldiers having access to a certain radio transmission signaling to Russians they wanted to surrender to them. Of course how can you be certain any of these internet videos are true or just falsified propaganda, produced by either Russia or Ukraine.
Putin invades Ukraine with hundreds of thousands of troops. He bombs and shells hundreds of Ukrainian cities, destroying residences, schools, hospitals, train station and infrastructure. He displaces over 10 million people. He kills, exiles, rapes and tortures hundreds of thousands.
Yet Janzam says Zelensky “irresponsibly destroys his people and country”.
Janzam is one sick individual. I don’t think there is a shrink in the country that can help someone that sick.
PUTIN WAS THE PERSON 100% RESPONSIBLE FOR STARTING THE WAR.”
Funny how Janzam always forgets that little detail, huh?
Oh wait, she said yesterday “Zelensky was destroying Ukraine”.
Btw, has Janzam answered Bitter’s question on how much sovereign Ukrainian territory she is willing to surrender and how many Ukrainians she thinks should be enslaved?
Bitter, Zelensky’s top general and aides are reporting these problems. What I posted was an excerpt, not my words, what is filtering out from others, including the Mayor of Kiev. I know it’s in your best interest of supporting this war, to say these claims are personal ones of people like me. However, these assessments are coming from Ukraine insiders, and now even Ukrainian citizens (especially the wives and mothers of soldiers) are protesting the futility of this war.
The following is a list of those threatened by a DJT presidency: According to Jan and my take.
Legacy media 👎 I disagree he is great for ratings and clicks on both the left & right.
Racial/gender grievance industry 🤔 unsure on what this actually means.
Military/financial/pharma industrial complex 👎 This is a joke. He helped make big pharma their biggest financials gains ever and spent money like no other President per term. A Big cause of our inflation now.
Koch’s open orders/globalist trade powerhouse pushing Nikki Haley 🤔 He failed to build the wall and bring a permanent solution.
Big business 👎 He helped lower the tax rate, deregulated and is extremely open to woke businesses practices.
Republican Party establishment 👎 not really… Lindsey Graham, Ronna Romney and tons of squishy faux conservatives support him.
Never Trumpers 😂 is this really a thing anymore on a large scale. Critics are not never Trump.
Weaponized Justice Department 👍 This is for sure. However they are winning the war and he will be in courts for the better part of the next three years.
You two – Bitter and Jason — are engaged in nonsense type of arguments, choosing to slam the messenger rather than trying to understand the true state of the war over there. How is miscasting the statements of those who are actually involved in day-to-day warfare being fair or honest? Anyway, I’ve got a busy day ahead of me, and this back and forth usually goes nowhere, except for lobbing foolish questions and jabs. Carry on with each other…..
and now even Ukrainian citizens (especially the wives and mothers of soldiers) are protesting the futility of this war.”
Zzzz… maybe they should write a letter to your hero Putin.
Also you won’t hear this from the Putin Stooge clown.
‘Leaked internal Russian government polling recently indicated that as few as one in four Russians may be in favour of the war in Ukraine. Analysts believe that the forced mobilisation of over 300,000 civilians and the high level of casualties have all contributed to waning support for Russia’s war effort.
The polling, which also found that more than half the Russian people hope their government will enter peace talks, was reportedly conducted for the Kremlin’s Federal Guard Service (FSO) and published by the exiled dissident news website Meduza.
and;
The Moscow-based research group asked 1,199 adults across Russia a series of questions in a phone poll between October 17 and 22. It found that the core of support for the war was only 12 percent, compared with 22 percent in February, one year after the start of what the Kremlin calls a “special military operation.”
How about the Ukrainian people democratically voted two times to be part of the European community and break Russia ties? I watched the BCC series on Putin and the West on a transatlantic flight home. It give’s personal interviews and an accurate account on how western leaders let Putin intimidate them. In particular Obama who deferred to the EU and Cameron. Trump wasn’t much help either he wanted Putin for a buddy and was upset because he thought Ukraine was part of the election interference in 2016 to help Hitlerly. The way I see it… Ukraine should have been armed to the hilt years ago.
“Russian General Vladimir Zavadsky was killed in Ukraine on Nov. 28, Voronezh Oblast Governor Aleksandr Gusev confirmed on Dec. 4.
Since the beginning of its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russia has rarely officially commented on the reported deaths of its high-ranking commanders.
Zavadsky, who was the deputy commander of the 14th Army Corps of the Russian Armed Forces, is the seventh high-ranking officer that Russia has confirmed to have been killed in Ukraine, independent Russian media outlet Important Stories said.
While Gusev claimed that Zavadsky “died at a combat post,” Russian media reports on Nov. 29 said that he was killed by a landmine explosion.
Hiking on an active volcano. What could go wrong?”
I have done it myself. Once I had to run back down the trail because the wind changed direction and toxic fumes were blowing towards me. You have to be extremely unlucky to die because usually there are indications of an upcoming eruption and they close the trails.
Unfortunately, all those people were injured and killed in the New Zealand island eruption a couple years back, if the eruption had occurred a half an hour later nobody would have been on the island, it was the last tour group of the day.
Still, if you consider how many active volcanoes are visited each year by hundreds of thousands of people, your odds are pretty low you will be killed.
“Vista Outdoor, a parent company of over three dozen companies, including several in the firearms industry, sent a letter to its distributors and dealers that prices of ammunition and gunpowder will be rising significantly. The decision to raise prices is due, in large part, to the pressure put on the industry with domestic demand at an all-time high, along with a global shortage of gunpowder.”
No wonder the HHR Putin Brigade is so anxious to have Ukraine surrender…..
“Russia may have suffered more than 320,000 casualties in Ukraine, the British Ministry of Defence (MoD) has said.
In its latest defence intelligence briefing, the MoD said the median estimate of Russian soldiers killed and injured in Ukraine was 320,000.
The casualty count could be as high as 350,000, it added.
The MoD said a “long-established culture of dishonest reporting” in the Russian military has likely created a “low level of understanding about total casualty figures” among Russian officials and civilians.
Vladimir Putin ordered a 170,000-man increase to the Russian Army last week, which would bring its total size to 1.3million soldiers.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke with Argentine President-elect Javier Milei and thanked him for his intention to move Argentina’s embassy to Jerusalem, Mr Netanyahu’s office said.
Mr Netanyahu congratulated Mr Milei on his election win and thanked him for his support of Israel during the war with Hamas.
“The prime minister thanked the president-elect for his intention to move the Argentina embassy to Jerusalem, and invited him to visit in Israel,” it said.”
“The casualty count could be as high as 350,000, it added.”
And for all the young people in America who think communism must be wonderful, let the record show that to Putin, those 350,000 lives meant absolutely nothing to him. He sleeps at night peacefully, knowing that human life has absolutely no value to the communist ideals. So they were cut down and destroyed just like one would swat a housefly, or pull weeds.
You were warned against what you long for. I pray to God that you don’t get what you want, for your own good.
Thinking through the list of pollster who normally do state polling of the POTUS races, but for now are keeping their powder dry. I guess most of them don’t want to just keep replicating the same bad news for Biden. These pollsters have yet to really engage the polling of states for 2024.

Some sanity might be happening in the case of the guy facing 7 months in prison for forwarding a political joke, something many on HHR have done repeatedly throughout the years:
The man was found guilty even though there was no victim in the ‘crime.’ The political joke circulated in 2016, but no charges were filed until Biden was sworn in, and thereafter weaponized the legal system to persecute political enemies, large and small.
Every time someone on the old page posted, “to help shrink lines at the polling places, a judge just ordered that Republicans vote on Tuesday, while Democrats will vote on Wednesday” this could not be prosecuted as election interference and one could face 7 months in prison.
and if after the appeal, the conviction is upheld, then it will go to the supreme court where it might well be struck down and overturned 9-0.
The case is the poster child for the banana republic in which we live, where once a evil party like the Democrats take power, they simply persecute and imprison political enemies large and small. No crime needed.
I recall years ago Democrats in Wisconsin slashing the tires of Republican GOTV vans the morning of election day. They also gave out free cigarettes to get Democrats out to the polls…that is actual election interference. But it helped their cause, so its not a crime.
Did you hear that CA Gov. Newsome secretly removed 5,000 homeless in San Fran and moved them to a deserted army base in the desert and erected tents for them to live in here. Not knowing this, President Biden secretly brought 5,000 Gaza refuges to the same U,S, deserted army base in the desert and put them in tents.
Unsurprisingly, the two groups did not get along and hot arguments, then big fights broke out. Then it started raining. Neither group liked to fight in the rain so….
Looking at a Civiqs (D) poll of Biden’s job approval, which today stands at 36% approve, 55% disapprove, and I noticed they break it down by state. Here are the only states where Biden has more approve than disapprove:

“MOSCOW (Reuters) – Maria Andreeva, whose husband has been fighting in Ukraine for more than a year, is also waging a battle in Moscow: to get him home.
She is not alone.
A growing movement of Russian women is demanding the return from the front of their husbands, sons and brothers who were mobilised after a decree by President Vladimir Putin in September last year.
Initially, the movement pledged loyalty to what the Kremlin calls its “special military operation” (SVO) but what they regard as the perfunctory response they have received is hardening some of their opinions.
Since Andreeva’s husband was mobilised last year and headed to Ukraine, he has been back only for two short breaks to see his wife and young daughter. His wife says this is insufficient for a soldier fighting in a conflict.
“We want our men to be demobilised so that they can return home because we think that for over a year they have done everything they could have – or even more,” Andreeva, 34, told Reuters in an interview in Moscow.
“For me, it is not only a struggle to ensure that my daughter has a father, but it is also a struggle for my marriage.”
Tackling the movement is a delicate matter for the Kremlin.
Moscow, which sent tens of thousands of troops to Ukraine in February 2022, has in previous wars tolerated higher death tolls than would be politically palatable in Western countries.
But the growing movement of Russian women underscores the complexity and innate inequality of keeping so many men at war for so long while many more of fighting age remain at home.”
Jason, its what I was saying yesterday. Putin is a communist. He is a communist’s communist. He does not care about the woman in that story, nor her husband or daughter. PEOPLE are simply throw away assets in communist machine. If that man dies in battle, so what. The woman can find another husband if she wants one. The daughter already HAS a real father anyway. The communist government is her true father.
And so many fools among American young people want communism here.
Not really. She made a CYA generality statement against violence while specifically issuing the most despicable, disgusting and disqualifying pandering statement to justify BLM violence while they were burning down cities, businesses and fire bombing federal buildings and police stations.
She did not have the guts to stand up to BLM and showed she just wants to support whatever is popular with the MSM at the time and has zero core convictions about anything.
Unqualified for dog catcher let alone President.
The Internet is forever. No free lunch
“It’s important to understand that the death of George Floyd was personal and painful for many. In order to heal, it needs to be personal and painful for everyone.”
F–k her and her BLM pandering and her MSM narrative.
I agree with the Golden Calf:
“I said I’m standing with police, she was tweeting that it needed to be personal and painful for every single person. I’m thinking to myself, ‘Why does that need to be personal and painful for you or me? We had nothing to do with it.’”
“It just shows an example of her adopting this left-wing mindset and accepting the narrative. We need leaders who are going to fight the narrative. We need leaders who are going to fight back against the left and beat the left”
Nikki “You must feel my pain ” Haley is always going to side withher MSM “handlers”. Bet on it.
“It’s important to understand that the death of George Floyd was personal and painful for many. In order to heal, it needs to be personal and painful for everyone.”
If you are not offended by that, go ahead and let Nikki “You must feel my pain” Haley tell you what you should be feeling and what it takes to “heal” and vote for her. Go ahead and somehow feel responsible because a rogue cop in Minneapolis stupidly used excessive force that ended up killing a drug addict criminal resisting arrest (who with the help of Nikki “you must feel my pain” Haley ended up becoming a national hero).
I prefer to not vote for someone who is willing to say what it takes to “heal” while BLM is burning down cities, killing business owners, and firebombing police stations and federal buildings.
To me, it is disgusting, despicable and disqualifying pandering to the worst elements in our society. That is my reason not to ever vote for her.
Your reason for voting for her is “she must be better than Biden”.
And btw, contrary to what Bitterlaw said in his defense of the indefensible, Nikki “You must feel my pain” Haley did not specifically condemn BLM.
She made a milquetoast general statement about “lawless riots”
“George Floyd deserves justice, and this has to stop. But these riots undermine justice for Mr. Floyd. Peaceful protests are a tradition. Lawless rioting must be stopped”
Zzzzzzzzz……
This supposedly absolves her from here shameless pandering statement?
Has Janzam been here to defend her hero Putin yet for releasing tens of thousands of dangerous convicts on the streets of Russia?
“Return of Russian Convict Battalions Going as Well as You’d Expect
WSJ 11:20 AM on December 05, 2023
Communities across Russia have been brutalized by scores of crimes perpetrated by these returning convicts, according to a Wall Street Journal review of court documents, interviews with friends and relatives of suspects and victims, and reports in Russian media. Rights activists said dozens more go unreported.
One man staged a shootout in a cafe, killing one person and seriously wounding another, according to court documents. Another is accused of raping two girls. A third, who had been convicted of murder three times, poured gasoline on his sleeping sister and burned her alive, according to the court’s press office.
The offenses committed by the convict soldiers risk shattering Russian President Vladimir Putin’s narrative that the war protects Russia from its enemies.
“I don’t feel safe. Thousands of criminals are walking our streets,” said Anna Pekaryova, whose grandmother Yulia Buyskikh was killed in March by a convicted murderer, Ivan Rossomakhin. He had wandered the streets of her village 600 miles east of Moscow—swinging an ax and carrying a pitchfork—after fighting for the Wagner paramilitary force in Ukraine and returning a free man. “I have lost count how many times such crimes have happened.”
And to all the young American fools who demand communism now, can’t you just feel the wonder and joy of experiencing ax wielding murderers stomping through your neighborhood? Communism is so wonderful after all. Your loved ones could be brutally murdered and your communist government father-figure will simply look the other way and not care at all.
The so called anti establishment person who appointed Wray should be attacking him for his leadership of the FBI at every chance. Instead he is silent. However he attacks on a daily basis the best Woke Commie Dem fighter and conservative Governor of Florida. Like if you agree.
“But burning down communities and needless destruction is not,” Biden wrote. “Violence that endangers lives is not. Violence that guts and shutters businesses that serve the community is not.”
“no place for violence, no place for looting or destroying property or burning churches or destroying businesses.”
“We need to distinguish between legitimate peaceful protest and opportunistic violent destruction,” he said.
“Peaceful protesters should be protected – but arsonists and anarchists should be prosecuted – and local law enforcement can do that,” he said.”
Which one was more sincere? Neither. Both are pandering liars. But at least Joe Biden, if he is going to lie, made a better effort.
“Former President Donald Trump is the frontrunner for the GOP nomination and holds a 50-point lead over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, according to a new NewsNation/Decision Desk HQ poll released Monday.
Trump was the top choice for 60% of Republicans surveyed, followed by DeSantis at 11%, Haley (10%), biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy (6%) and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie at 3%.
The former president’s lead is even wider on the most important issue for voters. Nearly two-thirds of Republicans (64%) think Trump is the best candidate for the economy versus 8% who feel the same way about DeSantis and 7.5% who prefer Haley.
One NewsNation analyst described the results as demonstrating that Trump’s support among Republicans nationally is “not only very broad but very deep.” This includes respondents’ answers to individual policy questions, where Trump was also preferred by the majority in every category.
Those numbers are all national figures, but it doesn’t appear that Trump has much to worry about in the individual early states either. He’s still up by more than 35 in Iowa. He leads by 27 in New Hampshire and by 35 in Haley’s home state of South Carolina. He’s even walloping DeSantis by more than 40 in Florida.
The “not-so-good” news I mentioned above deals with voters’ potential concerns over the ongoing criminal and civil prosecutions (or persecutions if you prefer) against Donald Trump. A majority of all voters said that they believe Trump should be disqualified and removed from the ballot if he is convicted on any of the charges he faces. But even that aspect comes with a significant caveat when you look at the difference between GOP primary voters and the general public.
More than 70% of GOP respondents said a conviction in “one or more” of the former president’s criminal cases would not impact their vote. Roughly 17% said it would affect their vote and 10% were not sure…
Trump’s legal troubles may not impact his expected success in the Republican primaries but could be troublesome for the former president in the general election, the NewsNation/Decision Desk HQ poll suggests. More than one-third of independents surveyed said a conviction would impact their vote, compared to 52% who said it wouldn’t.
It remains to be seen whether Trump’s legal woes will supersede Americans’ broader discontent with the way things are going. Nearly 70% of respondents think the country is on the wrong track, including 88% of Republicans, 73% of independents, and 45% of Democrats.”
Over 70% of Rs say they don’t care about “convictions”, as well as over half of Independents (yeah, me).
I will type slowly for Jason. Because Trump and DeSantis tossed away my primary vote with their positions on Ukraine, I now am choosing because Christie and Haley. I don’t waste time on write-in votes. The candidate who gets the nomination gets my vote in the GE. There are no perfect candidates but I can live with where they disagree with me because the Democrat is always worse.
Tina refers to Haley as Nikita (Russian form of Nicole or Nikky) but refers to KGB thug as Pooty-Poot (she blames GWB for the name but repeats it endlessly)
” I am fine with continued aid to Ukraine and more wars where they serve US strategic interests.”
That’s just a “boiler plate” statement justifying not looking deeper or at the fine print of what is really happening in a country immersed in propaganda wars.
Nope you are only partially right. I refer to Haley as Nikita. Your president mute 43 referred to Putin as Pooty poot. He even drove him around his ranch.
No matter how many posts and the number of links Jan shares, she can’t hide from the simple truth that Putin is 100% responsible for the death, injuries, war crimes, and destruction on both sides in Ukraine.
Dems want $106B—GOP wants a closed border. That’s the trade. But clueless Dems want to negotiate the border bill. Not going to happen. Is an open border more important to Dems than Ukraine and Israel?
Zzzzzzz. You must be incredibly stupid or easily manipulated to fear that a politician could change how you feel. I am obviously stronger since only I determine how I feel about anything. If somebody told you to be left-handed or kill and eat your llama, would you do it?
On a related note, Floyd was killed by police. I watched the video. I think it was unnecessary to use that force for so long and I almost always agree with the police. I would not presume to know how anybody else should feel about it.
DW, you wrote: “I recall years ago Democrats in Wisconsin slashing the tires of Republican GOTV vans the morning of election day.”
You forgot to mention that one of the Democrats who was caught slashing van tires was Milwaukee Congresswoman Gwen Moore’s 25-year-old thug son, who is now a Democrat member of the state assembly (natch). He is now known as “Supreme Moore Omokunde,” but his name at the time of his election-interference crime was “Sowande Ajumoke Omokunde” and at some other point he went by “Supreme Solar Allah.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supreme_Moore_Omokunde Betcha dollars to doughnuts that he’ll eventually replace his mom in Congress.

My problem with so few GOP debates, bad moderators, clarity regarding important issues and policies and a certain candidates absence is there is no genuine positions are being discussed and vetted. The GOP as a party is floundering. What are their core values? Vision? Policy positions? It’s all over the place.
The GOP as a party is floundering. What are their core values? Vision? Policy positions? It’s all over the place.”
Yep. When I first joined the party it was easy to know what the GOP stood for.
Limited government, personal responsibility, free enterprise, low taxes, pro-business, free trade, strong military, protection of US interests and US citizens anywhere in the world.
The GOP of today is an isolationist, protectionist party that has little interest in anything I listed above.
The moderators will be Elizabeth Vargas, the anchor of NewsNation’s “Elizabeth Vargas Reports”; Megyn Kelly, the former Fox News and NBC News anchor who now hosts “The Megyn Kelly Show” on Sirius XM; and Eliana Johnson, editor-in-chief of The Washington Free Beacon.”

Looks like our investment in Ukraine has certainly paid off as far as keeping the Russians from annexing Ukraine.
70k dead in less than 2 years is 15k more than the US lost in over 10 years in Vietnam with a much larger operation.
“The UK Ministry of Defence has released a new estimate of Russian losses in the war in Ukraine.
Source: UK Defence Intelligence, as cited by European Pravda
Details: In the period from 24 February 2022 to November 2023, according to the report, the Russian military probably suffered losses of 180,000 to 240,000 wounded and about 50,000 killed.
The mercenaries of the Wagner Group probably suffered losses of 40,000 wounded and 20,000 killed.
Thus, in total, the Russian side probably suffered losses of between 220,000 and 280,000 wounded and about 70,000 killed, as UK intelligence said. And the total losses of the Russian army range from 290,000 to 350,000 people. The median of this range is 320,000 total losses on the Russian side.
UK Defence Intelligence stated that even among Russian officials, there is probably a low level of understanding of the total casualties number due to a long-standing culture of dishonest reporting in the army”
And Jason also said he shares many of her conservative positions. A man at war with himself. Of course, if he is afraid that somebody could make him change his views by “pandering” how deep are his convictions?
Parents of minors have the the responsibility to protect their children from dangerous people and destructive behaviors. Some children need to be protected from their dangerous parents and destructive behaviors. We have existing laws for both.
And Jason also said he shares many of her conservative positions.”
I said she is probably the closest candidate ideologically to me.
But I also said it makes no difference what her positions are (or more accurately, pretends they are) she cannot be trusted on anything she says and she is unqualified to be President.
In 2016 I said Trump’s positions were better than Hillary’s on most issues, but I still didn’t vote for him.
I will type slowly so Bitter can understand. Once you determine someone is unfit for office, it makes no difference what their “positions” are and in makes no difference who they run against.
Nikki “you must feel my pain” Haley could run against Maxine Waters or the clone of Vladimir Putin, I wouldn’t vote for her.
She certainly did not condemn them when they were burning down cities.
Instead she shamelessly pandered to them.
The Internet is forever. Bitter can put words in her mouth, but he won’t be able to erase this:
“It’s important to understand that the death of George Floyd was personal and painful for many. In order to heal, it needs to be personal and painful for everyone.”
So what? Her statement meant no more to me than if she told me I had to be left handed or a Dallas Cowboys fan. I won’t become either one. Years of this repetitive and irrelevant quote to continue in 3…2…1…
The presidents of @Harvard, @MIT, and @Penn were all asked the following question under oath at today’s congressional hearing on antisemitism:
Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate [your university’s] code of conduct or rules regarding bullying or harassment?
The answers they gave reflect the profound moral bankruptcy of Presidents Gay, Magill and Kornbluth.
Representative @EliseStefanik was so shocked with the answers that she asked each of them the same question over and over again, and they gave the same answers over and over again.
In short, they said:
It ‘depends on the context’ and ‘whether the speech turns into conduct,’ that is, actually killing Jews.

‘Leaked internal Russian government polling recently indicated that as few as one in four Russians may be in favour of the war in Ukraine. Analysts believe that the forced mobilisation of over 300,000 civilians and the high level of casualties have all contributed to waning support for Russia’s war effort.
The polling, which also found that more than half the Russian people hope their government will enter peace talks, was reportedly conducted for the Kremlin’s Federal Guard Service (FSO) and published by the exiled dissident news website Meduza.

The Moscow-based research group asked 1,199 adults across Russia a series of questions in a phone poll between October 17 and 22. It found that the core of support for the war was only 12 percent, compared with 22 percent in February, one year after the start of what the Kremlin calls a “special military operation.”

While Gusev claimed that Zavadsky “died at a combat post,” Russian media reports on Nov. 29 said that he was killed by a landmine explosion.

Unfortunately, all those people were injured and killed in the New Zealand island eruption a couple years back, if the eruption had occurred a half an hour later nobody would have been on the island, it was the last tour group of the day.
Still, if you consider how many active volcanoes are visited each year by hundreds of thousands of people, your odds are pretty low you will be killed.

News you won’t hear from Janzam the Putin Lapdog
“MOSCOW (Reuters) – Maria Andreeva, whose husband has been fighting in Ukraine for more than a year, is also waging a battle in Moscow: to get him home.
She is not alone.
A growing movement of Russian women is demanding the return from the front of their husbands, sons and brothers who were mobilised after a decree by President Vladimir Putin in September last year.
Initially, the movement pledged loyalty to what the Kremlin calls its “special military operation” (SVO) but what they regard as the perfunctory response they have received is hardening some of their opinions.
Since Andreeva’s husband was mobilised last year and headed to Ukraine, he has been back only for two short breaks to see his wife and young daughter. His wife says this is insufficient for a soldier fighting in a conflict.
“We want our men to be demobilised so that they can return home because we think that for over a year they have done everything they could have – or even more,” Andreeva, 34, told Reuters in an interview in Moscow.
“For me, it is not only a struggle to ensure that my daughter has a father, but it is also a struggle for my marriage.”
Tackling the movement is a delicate matter for the Kremlin.
Moscow, which sent tens of thousands of troops to Ukraine in February 2022, has in previous wars tolerated higher death tolls than would be politically palatable in Western countries.
But the growing movement of Russian women underscores the complexity and innate inequality of keeping so many men at war for so long while many more of fighting age remain at home.”

Communities across Russia have been brutalized by scores of crimes perpetrated by these returning convicts, according to a Wall Street Journal review of court documents, interviews with friends and relatives of suspects and victims, and reports in Russian media. Rights activists said dozens more go unreported.
One man staged a shootout in a cafe, killing one person and seriously wounding another, according to court documents. Another is accused of raping two girls. A third, who had been convicted of murder three times, poured gasoline on his sleeping sister and burned her alive, according to the court’s press office.
The offenses committed by the convict soldiers risk shattering Russian President Vladimir Putin’s narrative that the war protects Russia from its enemies.
“I don’t feel safe. Thousands of criminals are walking our streets,” said Anna Pekaryova, whose grandmother Yulia Buyskikh was killed in March by a convicted murderer, Ivan Rossomakhin.

I guess it is still the economy, stupid.
“Former President Donald Trump is the frontrunner for the GOP nomination and holds a 50-point lead over Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, according to a new NewsNation/Decision Desk HQ poll released Monday.
Trump was the top choice for 60% of Republicans surveyed, followed by DeSantis at 11%, Haley (10%), biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy (6%) and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie at 3%.
The former president’s lead is even wider on the most important issue for voters. Nearly two-thirds of Republicans (64%) think Trump is the best candidate for the economy versus 8% who feel the same way about DeSantis and 7.5% who prefer Haley.
One NewsNation analyst described the results as demonstrating that Trump’s support among Republicans nationally is “not only very broad but very deep.” This includes respondents’ answers to individual policy questions, where Trump was also preferred by the majority in every category.
Those numbers are all national figures, but it doesn’t appear that Trump has much to worry about in the individual early states either. He’s still up by more than 35 in Iowa. He leads by 27 in New Hampshire and by 35 in Haley’s home state of South Carolina. He’s even walloping DeSantis by more than 40 in Florida.
The “not-so-good” news I mentioned above deals with voters’ potential concerns over the ongoing criminal and civil prosecutions (or persecutions if you prefer) against Donald Trump. A majority of all voters said that they believe Trump should be disqualified and removed from the ballot if he is convicted on any of the charges he faces. But even that aspect comes with a significant caveat when you look at the difference between GOP primary voters and the general public.
More than 70% of GOP respondents said a conviction in “one or more” of the former president’s criminal cases would not impact their vote. Roughly 17% said it would affect their vote and 10% were not sure…
Trump’s legal troubles may not impact his expected success in the Republican primaries but could be troublesome for the former president in the general election, the NewsNation/Decision Desk HQ poll suggests. More than one-third of independents surveyed said a conviction would impact their vote, compared to 52% who said it wouldn’t.
It remains to be seen whether Trump’s legal woes will supersede Americans’ broader discontent with the way things are going. Nearly 70% of respondents think the country is on the wrong track, including 88% of Republicans, 73% of independents, and 45% of Democrats.”

You forgot to mention that one of the Democrats who was caught slashing van tires was Milwaukee Congresswoman Gwen Moore’s 25-year-old thug son, who is now a Democrat member of the state assembly (natch). He is now known as “Supreme Moore Omokunde,” but his name at the time of his election-interference crime was “Sowande Ajumoke Omokunde” and at some other point he went by “Supreme Solar Allah.”

Yep. When I first joined the party it was easy to know what the GOP stood for.
Limited government, personal responsibility, free enterprise, low taxes, pro-business, free trade, strong military, protection of US interests and US citizens anywhere in the world.
The GOP of today is an isolationist, protectionist party that has little interest in anything I listed above.

Looks like our investment in Ukraine has certainly paid off as far as keeping the Russians from annexing Ukraine.
70k dead in less than 2 years is 15k more than the US lost in over 10 years in Vietnam with a much larger operation.
“The UK Ministry of Defence has released a new estimate of Russian losses in the war in Ukraine.
Source: UK Defence Intelligence, as cited by European Pravda
Details: In the period from 24 February 2022 to November 2023, according to the report, the Russian military probably suffered losses of 180,000 to 240,000 wounded and about 50,000 killed.
The mercenaries of the Wagner Group probably suffered losses of 40,000 wounded and 20,000 killed.
Thus, in total, the Russian side probably suffered losses of between 220,000 and 280,000 wounded and about 70,000 killed, as UK intelligence said. And the total losses of the Russian army range from 290,000 to 350,000 people. The median of this range is 320,000 total losses on the Russian side.
UK Defence Intelligence stated that even among Russian officials, there is probably a low level of understanding of the total casualties number due to a long-standing culture of dishonest reporting in the army”

I said she is probably the closest candidate ideologically to me.
But I also said it makes no difference what her positions are (or more accurately, pretends they are) she cannot be trusted on anything she says and she is unqualified to be President.
In 2016 I said Trump’s positions were better than Hillary’s on most issues, but I still didn’t vote for him.
I will type slowly so Bitter can understand. Once you determine someone is unfit for office, it makes no difference what their “positions” are and in makes no difference who they run against.

The presidents of @Harvard, @MIT, and @Penn were all asked the following question under oath at today’s congressional hearing on antisemitism:
Does calling for the genocide of Jews violate [your university’s] code of conduct or rules regarding bullying or harassment?
The answers they gave reflect the profound moral bankruptcy of Presidents Gay, Magill and Kornbluth.
Representative @EliseStefanik was so shocked with the answers that she asked each of them the same question over and over again, and they gave the same answers over and over again.
In short, they said:
It ‘depends on the context’ and ‘whether the speech turns into conduct,’ that is, actually killing Jews.
THE WOKE COMMIE MIND VIRUS.
