I know  I was teasing you.   happy77
I just wanted to explain to Kamaji why I used that term. "Propaganda" in the true sense of the word is rather neutral. My use of it doesn't not imply a value judgment. But I sure hope people listening to Zelenskyy's propaganda - and Putin's and Biden's and anyone else's - uses some critical thinking skills in evaluating it!

I quite agree that I hope people use critical thinking skills in evaluating the entire situation.  And think it through without passion or emotionalism, either from the point of view of a parochial isolationism, or from claims of "moral clarity" that is not, in fact, quite so clear.

Has he announced a time line for these alleged deliveries?

BIDEN: "We're going to give Ukraine the arms to defend itself in the days ahead."

POTUS has also recently said it is getting more challenging for US & NATO countries to supply Ukraine with arms, after a top 🇷🇺 official said the Kremlin would begin targeting new weapons shipments

Embarrassing - no comment on MIG-29s with "Green Light" Blinken sulking in the background as Biden walks away from questions from the press.

Putin just said such 'deliveries' will be an Act Of War.

BIDEN: U.S. weapons deliveries of anti-tank and anti-air to Ukraine have helped inflict losses on Russia

Biden running his mouth about this does far more to escalate the conflict than the sending of the weapons themselves.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

It would be nice to see Biden actually deliver weapons than to make announcements about weapons he is planning to send.

... and an overt military invasion of an internationally recognized sovereign nation isn't an act of war?

This is Putin's War of Choice.  Even the Swiss, Swedes, and Irish are against him.

Vlad, if America were to dust off the old Cold War covert operations manual, you would be in danger of losing (Russian) Georgia, Moldova, Belarus, and Kaliningrad, if not more.
