CNN is reporting that through 'fierce fighting' Ukraine has taken back two of the cities that were held by the Russians. Of course they conveniently left out of the story the names of these cities. Because what's really happening is Russia has abandoned them and Ukrainians have taken them over again. But from a propaganda standpoint it sounds so much better to say that fierce fighting kicked out the Russians. This war is pretty much over, the Russians got what they wanted, nowhere did they ever say it was their intent to take over the entire country. They got their land bridge to the Black Sea which is a pretty big deal and they will hang on to a lot of the land near the borders and they will eventually run Ukraine without ever having taken it over.

You posted a ZeroHedge article based on Russian propaganda linking Hunter Biden to non-existent Ukrainian biolabs.

I’m not really interested in anything you have to say regarding legitimate media sources…

They didn't name the cities, that's was my whole point. It wasn't in an article it was on CNN Live TV. They didn't name the cities because it's fake news. It's propaganda which is all you hear. Captain Poopypants obviously wants this war to last till the election and it's actually already over for all intents and purposes.

So if Israel Satellites and on the ground footage show hours of intense combat, that does not sound like the villages were abandoned for Ukraine to walk into?

Anybody else see this? Creepy Pervert in Chief Captain Poopypants held this poor woman's shoulders for minutes and minutes on Saturday telling her what beautiful eyes she had. If this doesn't make you physically ill something's wrong with you. He didn't sniff her hair only because even his senile old brain has gotten that message that it's wrong. We're supposed to believe this saggy ass senile walking piece of crap legitimately beat Donald Trump in the election? Good grief what a farce.

Hmmmf. Cringeworthy indeed, but so what?
The gift that keeps on giving. Biden seems to have no grasp of such social norms and does indeed seem a creepy old perve. Not nearly as creepy as trump, who set the bar really low.
But he's not trump and he didn't grab her pussy, so there is that. Beating trump didn't demand that Joe be of any particularly high quality. He wasn't voted for for his qualities as gentleman of the year.

I've said before that neither of your political parties seemed to forward good candidates.... for anything. It's almost like they compete to find and promote the worst.
If our representatives in government are really representative of our society, and I think maybe there are, then humanity is rightly doomed.

Our politicians are not much better.

Of course Biden beat Trump. Trump could not even win the popular vote at the height of his popularity with Russian help.
And, he lost a lot of faith in States that he needed to win the electoral college.

You would not need to cheat to beat such a bad candidate.

The language map of the Ukraine indicates a possible settlement to divide the country. Unfortunately, the red oblasts represent 50% of the population of the country. The Odessa Oblast is less than a million people, but the Ukraine may not want to settle if they lose all access to the Black Sea.

Ukraine would be forced to join the other land-locked countries in Europe

Belarus,
Moldova,
Macedonia,
Serbia,

Czech Republic,
Hungary,
Slovakia,

Austria,
Switzerland
Andorra,
San Marino,
Liechtenstein,
Luxembourg,
Vatican City.

Only two of the Eastern European countries have joined the Euro Area (other than the three Baltic countries)
Slovak koruna Slovakia Sk (SKK) 2009 30.126 SKK/EUR
Slovenian tolar Slovenia SIT (SIT) 2007 239.64 SIT/EUR


I have a feeling that the remaining six EU countries that were formely part of the Warsaw Pact will want to joint the Euro Area as further protection against invasion.
