1- “Biden didn’t leave (for the debate) until 27 minutes later, arriving at the studio with less than 30 minutes to spare. He never learned where to look on the split screen when his opponent spoke.”

Inexcusable. Image
2- “Biden was so confident, he called for a June debate quoting Clint Eastwood — “Make my day, pal,” he told Trump.”

This was in response to Trump baiting Biden - a move that will go down as one of the smartest maneuvers in political history.
3- “After the debate, Trump was thinking about going to the spin room, but decided against it because Biden did so poorly.”

Also a smart move.

1- Defending democracy is manifesting itself in strange ways in Ukraine:

“A Ukrainian reporter who revealed that a state news agency tried to bar interviews with opposition politicians said he received a draft notification the next day.”

“Ukraine’s domestic spy agency spied on staff members of an investigative news outlet through peepholes in their hotel rooms.”

“Journalists and groups monitoring press freedoms are raising alarms over what they say are increasing restrictions and pressures on the media in Ukraine under the government of President Volodymyr Zelensky that go well beyond the country’s wartime needs.”

But wait, there’s more.Image
2- “They (Ukrainian journalists) have also acknowledged some self-censorship, holding back on critical coverage of the government to avoid undermining morale or to prevent reports of corruption from dissuading foreign partners from approving aid.”

Heaven forbid we report on corruption; otherwise, all those members of U.S. Congress flying Ukraine flags after lighting $60B on fire might look ridiculous.
3- “Self-censorship in Ukraine is a feature of wartime,” said Serhii Sydorenko, editor at European Truth, an independent online news outlet. The situation was “not a problem” and unavoidable during the war, he added, noting that he expected a return to normal when the fighting eventually stops.”

“We can’t do objective journalism until the war ends” is a sure way to lose a war.

1- So many things wrong in just the first 2 paragraphs (and then it gets worse):

“Amid signs that Americans are tiring of sending weapons to Ukraine after two years of war, President Joe Biden this week will huddle with other world leaders in search of new ways to get aid to the country as it struggles to fend off Russia’s invasion.”

“Biden will participate in a three-day meeting in Apulia, Italy, of the Group of Seven, or G7, the organization formed by the world's largest industrialized nations, where a major topic will be tapping $300 billion worth of frozen Russian assets to strengthen Ukraine on the battlefield, according to the White House.”

1- If Americans (and Europeans) are tiring of funding an unwinnable war, why are their *leaders so hell bent to continue? The answer unlocks so many other revelations.

2- The “search for new ways” to fund Ukraine includes potentially stealing $300B of money that isn’t theirs. This would be suicidal to credibility of the western banking system but these lunatics are desperate.

3- They also want to funnel Ukraine money through NATO so the next American president cannot defund it without defunding NATO. That’s what they mean by “Trump-proofing” the aid.Image
2- “The Biden administration had wanted to use both principal and interest from Russia’s assets to help pay for the war, while European nations had favored using only the interest, …”

That’s because the Europeans know stealing that money would cause a run on western banking systems by countries all over the world.

Team Biden as usual is completely off the reservation.
3- “One option under consideration is for the G7 nations — the others are France, Canada, Japan, the United Kingdom, Italy and Germany — to provide Ukraine with about $50 billion up front and then recoup the money in interest income (from Russian assets) over the next 10 years.”

Insane. 100 different things could go wrong with this and the West is left eating another $50B.

1- The paragraph below is incredible;

“What to do with the Russian central bank reserves frozen in response to the invasion of Ukraine is at the top of the agenda as finance officials from the Group of Seven rich democracies meet Thursday through Saturday in Stresa, Italy, on the shores of scenic Lago Maggiore.”

Translation: “Rich democracies meet in posh Italian resort to finalize plan to illegally steal money to finance their beloved war.”Image
2- “The debate over the Russian assets is being revived after President Joe Biden in April signed into law the Rebuilding Economic Prosperity and Opportunity for Ukrainians Act, which allows the administration to seize the roughly $5 billion in Russian state assets located in the U.S. The law was included in the U.S. aid package for Ukraine and other nations, which includes roughly $61 billion for Ukraine’s defense.”

Amazing how they just slip this stuff in there, isn’t it?
3- “Exactly what the income from Russian assets would be spent on remains open, but one key focus is Kyiv’s state budget. Ukraine spends almost the entirety of its tax revenue on the military and needs another $40 billion a year to continue paying old-age pensions and the salaries of doctors, nurses and teachers…”

In other words, we’re funding the entire existence of Ukraine.

1- Thread 🧵 - a case study in war of attrition.

The best tank of WW II was the German Panther.

It entered combat in large numbers in 1943, in response to the Soviet T-34. Germany produced approximately 6,000 units. Image
2- The most feared tank in WWII was the German Tiger I and Tiger II.

The Tiger first appeared in 1942.

Because of their massive size and cost to operate, Germany produced less than 2000 units.

3- The most versatile- and arguably the most famous - tank of WWII was the Soviet T-34.

Entering combat in 1942, the Soviets produced 55,000 units despite having to move their tank production east to the Ural Mountains early in the war. Image

1- “…the foreign aid bill following months of partisan gridlock was a victory for President Biden. The sprawling legislation includes $61 billion to fuel Ukraine’s fight against Russia’s invading forces.”

Yeah, let’s see how much of a *victory it is in 3 months when Ukraine’s Donbas region defense has collapsed.Image
2- “President Volodymyr Zelensky characterized the long-delayed American aid as a lifeline, but stressed that the promised resupply must arrive quickly. “We will have a chance for victory if Ukraine really gets the weapon system which we need so much,” he told NBC News last weekend. Zelensky’s office did not immediately respond to a request seeking comment for this report, but has acknowledged the challenges Ukraine’s military faces.”

Zelensky is high on something. Ukraine has no chance for victory. The only question is how long before they lose.
3- “More than two years after President Vladimir Putin’s full-scale invasion, Ukrainian forces have lost their early battlefield momentum…”

They never had battlefield momentum. All they had was an ill-conceived, much ballyhooed counteroffensive that sacrificed their best units and otherwise achieved nothing.
