Poland is going to invade Ukraine? The Same Poland that has been a willing staging area for incoming aid for Ukraine since the beginning of the war? The same Poland that has taken in over 8.5 million Ukrainian refugees? and granted them 18 month privileges, with access to housing, education, and employment?...The same Poland that has donated 230 tanks and over 130 self propelled guns?
did russia "mobilize" their entire propaganda team recently? they were never worth a fuck, but now they aren't even trying. who is that tidbit even for? the Ukrainians know better, the Pols sure as fuck know better...the only people who might believe that are old russian fucks who were bottle fed state propaganda since birth...and who gives a shit what they believe?
all these lies seem like wasted effort. no one who could possibly matter has ever believed the first word of it, why keep wasting the time on it?

Why a former Trump appointee’s pro-Russia rhetoric matters
Retired Col. Douglas Macgregor wants the U.S. to let Putin do as he pleases in Ukraine, which brings to mind Macgregor’s role on Team Trump.

Far too many conservative voices have expressed support for Vladimir Putin and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, but retired Army Col. Douglas Macgregor appeared on Fox News yesterday and went further than most. The Washington Post reported:

He argued that the United States should “absolutely” just let Putin take what he wants in Ukraine — even calling for lifting sanctions. Macgregor said he was sure that Putin had “no interest in crossing the west” of Ukraine and would settle for the east. He cited Ukraine’s history of corruption and said that “more important, the population there is indistinguishable from [Russia’s] own.”

Jennifer Griffin, Fox’s longtime national security correspondent, found Macgregor’s excessive rhetoric hard to take. Indeed, she said MacGregor sounded like “an apologist for Putin.”

At face value, MacGregor’s pro-Russia rhetoric may seem largely forgettable. After all, there have been plenty of other conservative voices pushing similar lines lately, and most of them went ignored for good reason.

But what stood out about yesterday’s on-air appearance was why MacGregor’s name sounded so familiar.

As regular readers may recall, Donald Trump not only held Macgregor in high regard, the former president also wanted the retired colonel to hold public office in his administration. In fact, Trump’s original plan was to make Macgregor the U.S. ambassador to Germany.

That plan collapsed when Macgregor’s record of offensive rhetoric came to light: During Fox News appearances, the retired colonel peddled strange conspiracy theories about George Soros, criticized Europe for being welcoming toward “Muslim invaders,” and spoke in support of using deadly force against those who try to immigrate to the United States illegally.

The diplomatic nomination was quickly derailed without so much as a hearing.

But the Republican White House remained determined to find an important post for Macgregor, and after Trump’s defeat, the outgoing president gave the retired colonel a leading position at the Pentagon.
Trump also named Macgregor to a West Point advisory board — a post from which Macgregor made appearances on a Kremlin-backed media outlet.

And now Macgregor is still at it, calling on the United States to let Putin do as he pleases with Ukraine without consequence, which reminds me of the time Trump assured voters he would surround himself only with “the best and most serious people.”

I don't think America wants trouble over Taiwan while the semiconductor supply chain is at risk and neither does it's allies and they would have an increasing say in any such moves. Allies do not make for aggression and are better in defense, nobody goes it alone any more, not even American. Russia could not force the Belarusians to attack Ukraine, though they practically occupy the place and even in the second gulf war, America had some allies and some international support. Russia went alone into Ukraine and has no allies to speak of, Ukraine has about 50 allies who are offering various levels of support. America controls about 24% of the global economy these days and the first move in war is to cut off the enemy's trade and aid. Trade is the biggest weapon of war these days with global economic interdependency and aggressors are at a disadvantage in the international arena. Supply chains are global for everything including weapons systems, even for Uncle Sam these days.

The US gov't would love a crisis as long as it hurts the other guy more.

I'll put it this way, comparisons between Ukraine and Taiwan did not originate in the PRC. They started with former US generals saying "oh boy I sure hope the PLA doesn't see The Ukraine and think they can pull it off". Proxy wars have been the staple technique for shifting global hegemonic power balance for decades.

I think the semiconductors are down to 3nm now. Yes it's impressive. Yes, they're made in East Asia. They're not more important than food or fuel. Look what happened to food and fuel prices after Russia invaded the Ukraine (exactly as the CIA hoped) and the US, who had a piece of the pie that was now a greater percentage of it all found themselves HEY LET'S SELL WEAPONS TOO.

The US will benefit handsomely from a communist invasion of Formosa, especially if Japan is directly involved.

Increasing help and alliance from Russia's other enemy to the south, they along with other Russian neighbors might form their own kind of NATO in the future. Kazakhstan has security assurances from bordering China and lot's of oil and gas, they have been held down and back by Moscow ever since independence. Ukraine is destroying Russian military power for them too and increasing their security, just like the Baltic states on the European side. Vlad has many enemies and deserves every one of them, you win modern wars by making more friends than enemies, friends come and go but enemies accumulate.

this is going to be a frustrating two years for kevin and the republicans...they're not going to get a chance to cut shit from shinola...the senate will just shit can everything they send up that they don't like...they're going to get sick of trying to rework the same horseshit for two years, only to have it kicked back in their faces, every.fucking .time.
but it's their own fault...so i feel zero fucking sympathy, and i'm guessing that won't take long to dip into negative numbers, as soon as they get their shit parade started.

They are the government now and the J6 fall out will be even worse for them than if they were in opposition. What will happen when Trump goes down in flames in a few weeks? When Santos is indicted for something, but he will be and replaced by a democrat. The fun has just begun and the damage they can do has been limited by the wiser heads who screwed them before they got to the start line. Mitch expects them to come apart at the seams when the indictments start dropping and he is keeping his distance and will try not to get any shit on himself or his senators.

I figure it will be fucking spectacular when Jack gets going on their asses, as I said, if Mark cuts a deal with Jack there will be a lot of very nervous people in the GOP, state and federal. Word of Mark cutting a deal with Jack will be more important than this speaker election of McCarthy to the house.
