So good to hear!! We stand for Ukraine πΊπ¦! There are so many terrible things going on, deliberately, to distract us from what is happening with Ukraine. The best thing that can happen is that Russia is defeated, entirely.
As an Air Force Veteran myself (1968-1972), I totally agree with every single word in your comment. You and I served our country, while "Diaper Donny Two-Dolls" was hiding behind women's skirts and avoiding the draft. As a good friend of mine used to say, "He was arrested in the oral stage" (he was a psychologist). Fight on and thanks for your comment and for being part of this forum!
El Salvador sounds good to me. Or shave off his bone spurs and send him to command the Chinese and N Korean volunteers for Russia. Would be a great learning experience in the real horrors of war! I'm writing a new substack post - free, bobswandby.substack.com, "The Putinification of Amercia," how we are being propagandized by this Administration. Ready in a couple of days. Keep bringing it on John and everybody!!! Perseverance pays!
Right you are!. Somewhere in.the deep recesses of his diseased.mind Jimminy Cricket surfaces...to break through the lies...the hyperbole...he feels.the reality of the World's disgust & hate. Retaliation must follow ...exponentially increasing as his anger grows more bizarre...and more dangerous..as he is left beyond all reason. He will not...and could never have been...one of the courteous citizens of whom you speak, Sally.
He is Frank Morgan as Oz...." the man behind the curtain!"...
United24 has so many projects you can contribute to -- de-mining, drones, school rebuilding, generators, hospital equipment. Be a part of something constructive, hopeful, right. Ukraine needs support like this every day in order to endure.
Thank you, Adam. There was another deadly strike on my native city of Zaporizhzhya yesterday - just down the street from where my parents live. And JD Vance said he couldn't understand why Ukrainians were kicking up such a fuss over "a few miles of land" - referring to the territory the size of Pennsylvania. So, this is a bad day for Ukrainians at home and abroad. Your support is very much appreciated.
Maria, so many people, all over the world, support Ukraine. I never dreamed any 'leadership' in America the free would give up democracy to benefit Putin. Heartbreaking..
I actually talked about this today - about the allies around the world. The general mood in Ukraine toward the United States is one of mistrust. Those of us who have been following the history of Russian aggression AND how it was influenced by who was at the White House have been warning about this for some time: eventually, the world will come to understand they can't live from one US election to another. If US becomes a loose cannon as an ally (which it has), it will end up in isolation (already happening). So, while Ukraine's official stance toward the US is reasonably friendly, behind the scenes the mood is "let's move ahead with the EU and the UK and not count on the US. "
And I am so very sorry that too many idiots who hold the purse strings of our government are complete jackasses. I am embarrassed to be called an American now and my heart breaks for the Ukraine people. I contribute to Unite24 and believe Ukraine is doing the entire world a service by beating Putin at every turn. I admit your countrymen and countrywomen very much. You all deserve peace and freedom.
I don't exactly have a choice other than being strong, do I? I work two jobs and run multiple content streams, using the extra money to financially support my parents... who live in the war-torn Zaporizhzhya and cannot get out because there is nowhere to go and because Putin already said - if there is a caravan of vehicles heading out of any Ukrainian city, it will be treated as a military target, regardless of who is in it. So... I keep busting my a$$, working my job, publishing my books, covering the events in Ukraine for the public every day, getting hate and death threats for it, and hoping today is not the day my parents are murdered by the Russian orks. .... all the while wondering whether ICE my interrupt these activities, since I am a politically active naturalized US citizen and a Ukrainian American. Another day - another party....
We've been supporting your fellow Ukrainians in our area, too. So far, I've never met one that I didn't immediately like. Your people are wonderful and I hope every one of them gets to go home to a free, independent country someday. πΊπ¦ π»
Please, please, please, Adam, run for senate 2026. Iβd say President in 2028, but we need you sooner than later. Stay safe! π πͺ π You and your family!!!
I hope NATO countries in Europe can take the place of the United States as soon as possible. Maybe Great Britain or another country can provide intelligence. I hope Trump can be left out in the cold and out of the negotiations to leave him thinking about his own self importance. Now is not the time to give Russia time to regroup or anything else. Trump just wants to help his Putin, probably for possible personal gain in the future. Trump is disgraceful. Remove him from office ASAP cowardly Republicans.
Thank God the US has the constitutional policies holding Trump back somewhat from what he really wants. He should not have even qualified to run for the presidency. I live in Florida and democrats are so outnumbered, and honestly, the republicans are SO mean! If you speak up down here you are liable to get shot. Everything is going so against my personal philosophy. This primarily is that democrats have a sense of humanity, do not forget Eleanor Roosevelt's motto - 'If we all do well we all do well'.
Russia is not winning, but Putin is hoping for the US eventually becoming its full blown ally if not an outright vassal state by supplying it with financial if not military support. It sounds far fetched but the MAGA right has been brainwashed and infiltrated by pro-Russia propaganda for years. I will not assign a zero possibility of that happening.
I think you're right...it's not a zero possibility - the US is helping them already in stopping it's flow of weapons and ammo to Ukraine before Europe could adapt and provide assistance on its own. Trump's Admin is keeping Russia afloat.
For years, there is this fetish over Russia, both from far right folks like Tucker Carlson and the fringe far left including people on the Gray Zone, Tulsi Gabbard and Jill Stein types. Now the horseshoe is complete and they must be beat back.
It's funny, because Bernie Sanders was well in his way to becoming a Russia sycophant like Jill Stein. At some point, he realized being aligned with a baby kidnapping school bomber was a bad idea. Good for him!
I once commented that he spent his honeymoon (although it purportedly had other reasons him being a visiting mayor at the time) in the Soviet Union on Substack and got yelled at by quite a few people. But good for him for not going Jill Steinβs way.
You were right. He didn't just go to Moscow, he sounded like a Kremlin parrot for years. Kinda like Gabbard, Hegseth, Navarro, etc. do now...only Bernie woke up.
Love all the details you provide (including the "tanks before Elvis" reference!) -- since it made everything much more clear to me. Sometimes it's easy to get lost in day-to-day living and miss things. You provided a great perspective of exactly what is going on. Thanks!
Adam, I agree with all you are saying except one thing: Russia controls about 20% of Ukraine's territory, which is hardly a "tiny sliver". Keep up the great work, and please consider going on tour, you will find tremendous support wherever you go!
I have a feeling this minerals deal with Ukraine has something for Russia under the table, like financial assistance or lifting sanctions. Russia has to be at the end of its rope financially. If Trump bails them out, it will be the biggest injustice committed against Democracy this century. Putin's regime will always be a threat and it needs to die.
This 1000%!! I wish this youtube video could be broadcast and advertised everywhere. Any serious gains russia makes will be because of us and our new commitment to the Kremlin.
In my opinion, our problem is racism. There is too wide a gap between the 'haves' & the 'have-nots'. Again I quote Eleanor Roosevelt, 'When we all do well, we all do well'. What happened to the beautiful melting pot that started America?
So good to hear!! We stand for Ukraine πΊπ¦! There are so many terrible things going on, deliberately, to distract us from what is happening with Ukraine. The best thing that can happen is that Russia is defeated, entirely.
Russia is not winning and neither is Trump. Now the tyrant said he wants to replace Veterans Day, which Congress made a federal holiday in 1954, and to go back to celebrating the end of World War I on Nov. 11 instead. I'm a Vietnam Vet, this is OUTRAGEOUS!!!π‘π€¬π‘π€¬ What do you think? I think he's a absolute spoiled brat that never grew up and someone should revoke his citizenship for this outrageous idea that he has. Put him in pampers π©²πΌπ§·and ship him off to El Salvador!!! Bring him back on Nov. 11th so we all can laugh at him. π€£ππ€£ππ€£

Man is he not for Vets! Whatβs up with his ax to grind there?
Jealous of their man hood? π
Heβs intimidated by their manhood and womanhood not to mention he doesnβt get their valor and honor.
Spot on, Sally !
I should say their (men and women) dedication to protecting our country and rights.
Right you are!. Somewhere in.the deep recesses of his diseased.mind Jimminy Cricket surfaces...to break through the lies...the hyperbole...he feels.the reality of the World's disgust & hate.

Agreed!
I am reading https://united24media.com/news - United 24

Thank you for posting this, Adam. May 3rd is World Press Freedom Day!

Putin owns TRump. Has for decades.
I cannot even refer to Trump's little bitch without a string of obscenities. Be strong, Maria.
I don't exactly have a choice other than being strong, do I?

Yes! Adam Kinzinger will be terrific no matter which office he would hold.
I hope NATO countries in Europe can take the place of the United States as soon as possible. Maybe Great Britain or another country can provide intelligence.

He could already be doing that through his meme coin!
Ainβt that the truth! Would not be surprised at all anymore.
Letβs rephrase it: RUSSIA IS LOSING! Letβs repeat that to the right-winger cowards.
There is no instance of a country having benefited from prolonged warfare.
β Sun Tzu, 512 B.C.
True then, true now.
Love all the details you provide (including the "tanks before Elvis" reference!) -- since it made everything much more clear to me. Sometimes it's easy to get lost in day-to-day living and miss things. You provided a great perspective of exactly what is going on. Thanks!

You never break off negotiations, but declare victory by reiterating the status quo. Thatβs the mineral deal, I expect.
Thanks Adam. Keep on speaking the truth man
This 1000%!! I wish this youtube video could be broadcast and advertised everywhere. Any serious gains russia makes will be because of us and our new commitment to the Kremlin.
Thank you for this. Mainstream media is dead. They should be reporting on this and Trumpβs declining mental acuity. Itβs a massive cover-up.
Or is it fear? Fear that Trump or one of his minions will come after the media? Look at how CBS caved on Sixty Minutes.
Yes, I think fear and corporate greed are the drivers.
Exactly!!!
Victory. Freedom does that sort of thing to a people.
We should be ringing the bells across this great land. Let freedom ring! What is Americaβs problem?
In my opinion, our problem is racism. There is too wide a gap between the 'haves' & the 'have-nots'. Again I quote Eleanor Roosevelt, 'When we all do well, we all do well'. What happened to the beautiful melting pot that started America?
