SubscribeThe final piece about CNN’s comments about gender is why the phrase “You couldn’t make this stuff up” was created.
Here’s a good way not to get re-elected. Suggest the U.S. needs boots on the ground in Ukraine. If the regime media wasn’t in the hip pocket of the Dems, this comment from Hakeem Jeffries would be plastered on every newspaper, radio station and billboard across the country.
I was thinking the exact same thing. This almost has to be something said and propagated for the consumption of European audiences for whom the Ukraine conflict hits a lot closer to home. The media has a history with the american government, particularly where geopolitical strategy is concerned, of this sort of wink wink arrangement where they put things in the foreign press they wouldn’t dare print domestically for whatever reason.
Do not worry. The only thing this administration can do is express deep concern when Russians will start to kill Ukrainians on the streets of Kyiv.
They are professional losers
“Not simply with our money but with our servicemen and servicewomen […] It’s a Churchill or Chamberlain moment.”
What about diplomats instead of service men and women.
Chamberlain moment would be good. I’m not sure America should do any Churchilling to be honest. Might be better to stick with just the aid and send diplomatic people instead.
Uterus-havers appear to have overreacted about the erasure of “women”, per a new CNN article. – I don’t think that America, in this completely insane state, is generally capable of anything intelligible
I agree. I’m not sure how the uterus havers and pe nis owners would get on really. I don’t think the Ukrainians would have much patience for that sh*t in their trenches, especially this:
‘According to the piece, phrases such as “pe nis owner” and “pregnant person” can help create a sense of inclusion for those who are marginalised and vulnerable’
That part is laugh out loud hilarious.
No. no. German Aussenministerin Analena Baerbock made it very clear. The war in Ukraine is about trans rights too. So you know what noble cause your children will die for.
I don’t know who I would kill first, Putin or Annalena Baerbock
There is always room to transform the Ukraine into a new Serbia with Zee as the new Arch-Duke Ferdinand to kick off the next world war.
If we want to end human civilisation we can start there and polish it all off quickly in a few years, if not months. That would probably be the only way to expunge neoconservatism from the US State Department too.
I hope they keep using this rhetoric. Most Americans are exhausted of war after Iraq and Afghanistan.
Let that “US boots on the ground” story gain traction and there’s no need to wait for November. Biden can make the concession call to Trump right now – even if he’s in jail.
The other Dem laugher is “First Ukraine, then the World” warning about Putin. Mearsheimer is right about that narrative – absolute nonsense.
