From Fox News no less.



This idea goes over like a lead balloon. Why. It'd be like the USA just giving up Texas to settle a war. (well, I might agree if they took Gov Abbot)


I would rather give up California than Texas.

California geographically and climate is a prime resort area compared to Texas. Has been for a long time. Over-developed. That's part of its problem.
Only real derangment going on is people who still believe in Trump

No self-respecting homeless person is going to want to spend 24/7 365 days a year outside in most Texas cities.

I agree, if only we could get rid of the people that live there.

Vance said this month that if elected to the White House, Trump would work with Russia, Ukraine and European leaders to establish a "peaceful settlement" that would grant Moscow the territory it has illegally seized since its 2022 invasion.

Upon Kyiv’s agreement to gift the land to Russia, there would then be the creation of a demilitarized zone along the current front lines, Ukraine would be fortified to deter a third Russian invasion, and Kyiv would agree to give up its plans to join NATO – a proposal that Western security experts have said would be a substantial win for Russian President Vladimir Putin.


So who would be the worst appeaser, Donald Trump or Neville Chamberlain?

The thing is, Ukraine could still lose to Russia anyway if Russia can outlast everyone. But I want to support them as long as we can. In the right way, not ask them to be humiliated.

Ukrainians are claiming Russia poisoned a river killing everything in it.

Quote:
Ukrainian officials say the Russians deliberately poisoned the Seym River, which flows into the Desna. The Desna connects with a reservoir in the Kyiv region and a water supply used by millions.
A toxic slick was detected on 17 August coming from the Russian border village of Tyotkino. According to Kyiv, chemical waste from a sugar factory had been dumped in vast quantities into the Seym. It included ammonia, magnesium and other poisonous nitrates. At the time, fierce fighting was going on in the surrounding area. Ukraine’s armed forces had launched a surprise incursion into Russia and had seized territory in Kursk oblast.
