I personally wouldn't listen to either of those people. The fact that you do says a lot about you, and explains why you're absolutely clueless about the world. But, keep believing in conspiracy theories like a freak lunatic nut job.
Americans that support the Billions in USD funding sent by President Brandon to Zelinskyy are puzzling to me. Do many Americans not think they pay enough in taxes?
It's not that hard to grasp.
Russia as a reliable trading partner supplying energy to Europe is a win/win for the global economy. Russia as a overtly imperialist country destabilizing Western Europe is a lose/lose for the global economy. In the long run aggressively discouraging the latter is likely worth the considerable short term cost.
People like to rant against "globalism" but the world is connected whether one likes it or not.

Not that connected. Ukraine winning or losing will change nothing in our daily lives. Therefore, it is an unjustified expenditure of our taxes.

If the $200 you’ve spent in taxes to protect Ukraine changes your daily life, then you probably shouldn’t be spending your time posting on the internet.

Videos like this make it worth every dollar the US has spent.
p.s. Russian tank driver is still the worst job in the world.
remembering how quickly the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact fell apart. The paradoxical fragility of corrupt, totalitarian systems, which seem menacing until they rapidly dissolve when deprived of resources and fear.
Which I think may be happening to an extent in the Ukraine. Poor morale, corrupt officer corps, lazy logistics, bad strategy from inept command, and an extremely motivated enemy using cutting edge technology is leading to an implosion of the Russian occupation.
Good riddance to the Russians, who now face the coming decades as something of a Slavic North Korea.

Россия, пошли вы все, на….
we can hope...but recently it takes a full on lost war and invasion to boot out a tyrant. I don't see that happening here. Esp when they can make so much hard currency selling energy to China and India.
On the other hand, apparently russia has a long history of booting out kings after military debacles.
Right wingers are praying for Putin's safety, I know.
When facts don’t match your delusions, blame the CIA. You’re very predictable, Carmine.
Right.
And Hunter Biden's laptop was Russian misinformation.
And Russia has a pee tape on Trump.
And Ukraine has no bio weapons labs.
And Bin Laden's body was dropped in the ocean because that's what Muslims would want.
Keep believing
Exactly.
The morans that believed story after story after story will fight to the death with the creators of those stories. It’s amazing how stupid our population has become.
Over 50 prominent Intel Comminity officials signed a letter saying the info (multiple criminal activities, including Brandon getting kickbacks from the - you guessed it - UKRAINE! oil company) was rUsSiAn dIsInFoRmAtIoN, when they knew about it for a YEAR!!
You left out “Covid definitely came from nature.” LOL
Gotta hand it to the WEF-types though- they’ve pulled off the inconceivable. Never in my life did I think I’d see self-proclaimed progressives vehemently supporting the establishment. Liberals fighting for war. Fighting for more tax dollars being sent over seas. Fighting for censorship of political opponents. Fighting FOR THE DOJ, FBI, CIA, AND NSA! They very institutions they were deathly afraid of just 7 years ago. Unbelievable.

LOL! The angry tears of a Putin Simp as his fantasy world collapses, I love it :)
I personally wouldn't listen to either of those people. The fact that you do says a lot about you, and explains why you're absolutely clueless about the world. But, keep believing in conspiracy theories like a freak lunatic nut job.
Of course you wouldn't.
You listen to the "mainstream media" that has lied to us time and time again
The swift fall of Izium in Kharkiv province was Moscow's worst defeat since its troops were forced back from Kyiv in March, and could prove a turning point in the war, with thousands of Russian soldiers abandoning ammunition...

It's amazing to me how you know exactly where I get my news from (you don't), yet you couldn't find Russia on a map of Asia.

1. Refuses to listen to anything that doesn’t confirm bias. 2. Attacks the source of an argument rather than debate the argument. 3. Ad hominem personal attack on the poster. I’ll bet $100k you are American and only vote Democrat.

The Russians have now announced that they are going to be advancing backwards for awhile. Carmine, is it propaganda when it's coming straight from the Russian Defense Ministry spokesman?
Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said Saturday that troops would be regrouped from the Balakliya and Izyum areas to Ukraine's tern Donetsk region.
Russia’s Defense Ministry says it's pulling back forces from two areas in Ukraine’s Kharkiv region where a Ukrainian counteroffensive has made significant advances in the past week

1. You're right. I refuse to listen to YouTube shills that rant about a headline they saw on twitter, who don't understand jack sh*t about the things they're ranting about. I'm sorry, I prefer deeper analysis than "Inflation is Brandon's fault." Nothing Carmine has posted provides that. Not Jimmy Dore. Not Clayon Morris.
2. I would gladly attack the argument, if the source made one. Since they don't, the only thing left to attack is the source. There's an excellent, 100+ page analysis done by several professors at Yale that looks at the effects of economic sanctions on Russia. It's been posted several times in this thread. I assure you, Jimmy Dore has never read it. I assure you, Clayton Morris has never read it. Yet, they both rant about the "sanctions aren't working because inflation." So, find a source that has an IQ above 15, that has actually done some analysis of what's going on, that has some expertise beyond riling up simpletons like Carmine, and I'll gladly attack their arguments. Until then, piss off.
3. Is it an ad hominem if it's true? Carmine is a nut job that touts conspiracy theories, not facts. Anything he doesn't agree with is immediately labeled CIA propaganda.
Now, show me my money, or get the eff out of here.
Don't make a mistake, Ukraine is NEVER getting its 20% back. This is a price to pay for getting duped by the West.
I guess "NEVER" is Swiss for "in less than 24 hours." Maybe this clown will pull an "adultintheroom", and leave the thread with his tail tucked between his legs.
This is the russian MoD acknowledging the withdrawal from Kharkiv and the strategically important cities of Izyum & Kupyansk. The straight face during the lie of ‘regrouping of forces’ is priceless. pic.twitter.com/yAKpd32s72
It comes down to level of intelligence and reading comprehension skills. Some people can read and comprehend a Yale University report complied by economics professors and some people can only understand YouTube videos.
