Kamala is DUMB/IGNORANT. Which is not unusual for politicians and rich pampered so called "minorities" from a wealthy family. But it is the scope of her ignorance which astounds ... well almost everybody.

In a discussion with French scientists she repeats the common word 'hypothesis' with such giggling emphasis to the group of scientists and then explains to them her interpretation of what it means. It was obvious to everyone that she picked the word up from a word-a-day calendar and thought she was going bedazzle the crowd with this great new word she discovered.

Then she went on to shout Dee PLAN, Dee PLAN, with an affected 'French accent' in France thinking this would endear her somehow to the audience. Honestly, as with most things she says when she attempts to speak formally, nobody had a single clue what the hell she was talking about, including she herself.

Obviously she knows nothing of history, vocabulary, science, politics, ... well anything. She has no demonstrable talent in any of the simple skills of life. She cannot do an interview with a slobbering Leftist whose only goal is to make her look Great, without turning it into a giggling laugh-fest.

She couldn't even do a fake interview with a group of paid child actors without making a fool of herself. And this is the person representing America in talks on war in Europe? This cannot be true. This has to be a joke. But unfortunately it is not a joke.

The movie "Idiocracy" was spot on prophetic. It is the world we live in today ... well ... that is, at least that is where American society stands today.

America has fallen from a real erudite Statesmen like Henry Kissinger, to some ignorant giggling woman who cannot form a coherent paragraph.

You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

I understand that Russia is moving into the Russian areas of Ukraine.
Doubt he will receive much resistance. We shall see.

Cyber brought a good point yesteday along these lines....   There is a significant amount of Southern parts of CA, AZ, NM, and TX that speak Spanish, but that doesn't mean we need to cede these lands to Mexico.

Yes, but the difference is that most of the population in those states, regardless of first-language proficiency, don't see themselves as a Mexican diaspora living in a hostile land.  That is, those U.S. states are not the analogs of the Sudetenland to Germany in the 1930s.  These parts of eastern Ukraine are much more like that analog.

Something no one is talking about.

Biden's higher oil prices have helped Russia build their military forces.  This entire affair springs from Biden's incompetence.  He is poison.

After 70 years of Soviet occupation where Russian was taught as the primary language, what does one expect?  It is a miracle that the Ukrainian language still exists at all.

JUST IN - Germany suspends the approval process for the Russian-German Nord Stream 2 natural gas pipeline, Chancellor Scholz announced.

MORE - Scholz: "The certification has been stopped, which means Nord Stream 2 cannot go online."

55% of Germany's natural gas demand is met by Russia's Gazprom. Gas storage facilities in the country are currently only 31% full.

"temporarily* halting the certification of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline is a small step in the right direction.

This is purely TEMPORARY.

And is entirely too late.

It's a "thing."

Russification or Russianization (Russian: Русификация, Rusifikatsiya) is a form of cultural assimilation process during which non-Russian communities (whether involuntarily or voluntarily) give up their culture and language in favor of Russian culture.

In a historical sense, the term refers to both official and unofficial policies of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union with respect to their national constituents and to national minorities in Russia, aimed at Russian domination and hegemony.

Putin invaded Crimea under Obama.

Putin invaded nothing under Trump.

Putin invaded Ukraine under Biden.

Those are the facts.

Ukraine says its skies are safe as airlines suspend flights

Ukrainian officials insisted on Monday that its skies are safe for airlines to conduct scheduled flights amid multiple countries suspending theirs due to the looming potential Russian invasion, Reuters reported.

 

@mystery-ak

This might have been a danger from 1950's USSR,but there is no way the Russian leadership is going to approve of shooting down civilian airliners flying over another nation in 2022.

Pooty-Poot is NOT a dedicated communist. He is a modern fascist looking for power and wealth. He is looking for a payoff big enough to be of interest to him after he pays off all the people in the USSR he needs to pay off in order to stay in office.

In short,he is an opportunist looking to accumulate the wealth to go along with his power.

Peace through strength.

That only worked when we had a POTUS the world recognized as strong.

Sold out and corrupt isn’t strong, it’s the most easily recognized form of weakness.

And that’s what the world knows about Joe Biden.

He’s sold out and corrupt.

Another great job, Kamala.

Nothing was stopping the Ukrainian Russians from moving to Russia ... many already had Russian passports and used Russian rubles.

The sanctions against the 2 "breakaway republics" are lame.

Putin is a kleptomaniac.  As with any kleptomaniac, a successful theft provides a adrenaline rush and thrill.  Unfortunately, to feel the same or greater rush, each subsequent theft needs to be bigger, and riskier than the previous.  What will be Putin's next bigger score?

When Poland ruled parts of Ukraine, they attempted to Polan-ise territories populated by Ukranians.  When the Soviet Union ruled Ukraine, Josef Stalin implemented Rus-ification to eliminiate the Ukranian self-identity.

What was the language and ethnic distribution in Ukraine prior to Stalin's murder of millions of Ukrainians in the 1920s and 1930s?

Biden killing our energy independience and killing our production capabilities is directly responsible for this mess.


You think Putin would risk an invasion, with his coffers only pulling in profits on $40/bbl oil?

This is all on Biden!!!!!!  He is trying to blow up the world.

@catfish1957

Nobody is trying to blow up the world. What they are all trying to do is profit from the world by owning or controlling as much of it as possible.

Russia has Putin.

America has whoever is pulling Biden's strings.

No wonder we are losing.

Insanity. This would be like Mexico declaring Arizona and New Mexico "independent" because many people speak Spanish.

@Cyber Liberty

Uhhhh,you might want to take a few deep breaths. There are people in Arizona and New Mexico who have been stating this for decades now.

Granted,that ain't the same as Mexico making that declaration,but I have never heard Mexico deny them,either.

As despicable a POS that Putin is, he is a masterful politician.  Biden is significantly overmatched.

@catfish1957

Putin is a VERY smart man that sharpened his skills as a Soviet Intelligence Officer.

Biden is a career thief that is borderline retarded and the only thing he has ever done well is lie and steal.
