Fox News host Tucker Carlson voices his concerns over the billions of dollars Congress is sending to Ukraine on 'Tucker Carlson Tonight.' #FoxNews #TuckerSub...
Number of stories today about how Republicans are becoming tired of funding Ukraine. Which is exactly what Putin is counting on - fatigue among right wing governments in the UK and US and even France.
Not a great sign for UKR. US right wingers aren't really into the whole 'fight against the right wing government in Russia' thing. Right wing Americans don't want to fight against one of their own - GOPers identify more with Putin than Zelensky and will be increasingly vocal that they would rather support the anti-woke guy in the Kremlin.
A new CBS News/YouGov poll this week — the first to test the issue since Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke before Congress in December — is the latest to illustrate that drift. And despite Zelensky’s plea for American resolve, it shows that a slight majority of Republicans — 52 percent to 48 percent — want their member of Congress to oppose further Ukraine funding. But it’s hardly the only signifier of this shift. When the war started, support for Ukraine was a very bipartisan issue. Then the percentage of Republicans who said we were doing “too much” to help Ukraine grew sharply, from the single digits shortly after the war began in February to 48 percent in a Wall Street Journal poll released shortly after McCarthy’s comments. Multiple polls released after the election — from Marquette University law school and Fox News — showed that a plurality of Republicans thought we were doing “too much,” rather than the right amount or not enough.
When it goes from $.14 to $.15 its because Russia is artificially propping it up
You are speaking to someone who pretends americans don't have to pay healthcare premiums every month to prop up her lie that americans have better financial health than people from universal healthcare countries.
She's a liar. A chronic liar. Report her.
How to tell the ceccione is broken? It resorts to calling posters liars without evidence and calling for them to be banned.
A small group of republicans are TO THE LEFT of all democrats and the other remaining republicans.
This small group of republicans wants money to support average americans in america, not rich americans who profit
All of "america's threats" want to 1) control their own oil/gas or 2) use a currency of their choice to trade it
None of america's "threats" are ACTUAL threats to average americans' peace or security. They are only threats to rich america's profits. No one in the media will say this. It's the grand lie to dupe america.
always replace the words: "economy" "american interests" "our security" with >>rich people << when anyone talks about the economy or military
We will protect our interests abroad to ensure our security = We will protect our rich people to ensure our rich people
The biggest threat to america is rich america and nobody else

Playing the victim again
You must be mistaking me for Vladimir “The West Is Out To Get Me” Putin. Note, calling out ceccione’s asinine posts is not “playing the victim”. It’s calling a spade a spade.
Indeed. Ukrainians even leaving their injured behind. Soledar taken under control by Wagner.
Soledar is still contested. Pirgozhin posted a picture from a salt mine claiming to have taken Soledar, but the salt mine wasn't even in Soledar and battles are still raging for control of the town.
Pirgozhin is trying to make it seem like Wagner PMC is doin' a heckuva job in Ukraine because Wagner PMC relies on funding from the Russian government. The Russian government is posting huge deficits and Wagner PMC is very expensive. Pirgozhin fears that he won't get the level of funding he wants and is trying to make it seem like Wagner is winning on the battlefield. But what Wagner is doing is sending its prison recruits to the front line in separate regiments to charge UA positions over and over. If they try to fall back, Wagner militiamen shoot them. This is just like what the Soviets did in WWII in Leningrad when the Soviets kept sending conscripts to get slaughtered and held off the Nazis just by their willingness to sacrifice massive numbers of soldiers. The problem in Ukraine is that Wagner has lost upwards of 25,000 in the push for Soledar and Bakhmut. Wagner is running low on prison recruits and is not able to replenish its recruits because word has gotten out in the penal colonies that Wagner is using recruits as cannon fodder with death being a near certainty. The prison recruits are paid about half of what regular Wagnerites get paid. Wagner will now need to recruit outside of prisons or pay prisoners full Wagner pay, which will make the cannon fodder prohibitively expensive. Russia is now having to send regular RU soldiers to the front lines in Soledar and Bakhmut because Wagner has burned through most of its recruits. This all may ultimately be a rope a dope move by Ukraine. While Bakhmut is strategically significant, it is not worth the kind of losses Russia has suffered. The more Russia gets slaughtered in Bakhmut and Soledar, the less Russia will be prepared for a spring offensive and will be more vulnerable to another push by UA once they have all the new armored vehicles and missile defense systems delivered from the West.

The cynical take is that dead Wagnerites are cheap.
