    Is it just media hype or truth that the GOP is actually leaning towards supporting Putin and derailing support of Ukrainians? I hope not.

    No, not Ive heard. There are a handful that are asking for accountability and a paper trail of the money being allocated.

    Its election season the democrats are throwing everything they can at the republicans, supporting Putin, doing away with social security, pushing granny's wheelchair over a cliff, sitting in the exam room with women while they see their doctor, clubbing seals and gays, anything else they can think of.

    Personally I’m more concerned about what’s going on in the US and my county in particular. Than getting involved in a war between two corrupt Eastern European oligarchs.

    I would tend to agree with you if our dependence on other countries would not be what it is. Ukrainians provide 40% of the world’s wheat, we consume most of the junk China make’s because it’s cheaper, global hydro carbon outside of the U.S continues to impact our economy.

    Once we in the U.S can produce and manufacture everything we need and ensure we have the labor to support all that I’d support building a Great Wall to keep the zombies out.

    Nothing wrong with questioning what happened to near 18 billion in taxpayer funding sent to one of the most corrupt countries on earth, and if we should go full steam ahead into direct conflict with a superpower. Of course war is terrible, and we may have an interest in the outcome of this one both from a political and Humanitarian position, but we need to make sure that support is accountable to, and in the best interest of the American people.

    Of course between the biased media, D's unquestioning followers and R's usually crappy PR, even the most reasonable questioning = "R's are supporting Putin"

    Yes, remember RUSSIA! RUSSIA! RUSSIA!, that Trump is Putin's puppet, Trump withheld aid to Ukraine, etc., etc. etc. :sarcasm:

    Man, if the American electorate falls for ANY of that BULLSH*T one more time, it will prove that voters are just as brain dead as FJ Brandon is.

    I guess the Mayor of Moscow's wife's $$multi-million$$ gift to Hunter was just to show solidarity. :sarcasm:

    Likely the media trying to move on the fence voters......


    Q
    Some people are wise enough to take what the media says with a grain of salt, but it seems like most blindly follow the news channel they support.

    Your right though it’s those sitting on the fence that concern me as we really don’t know what impacts the final decision.

    do t forget Hillary Clinton’s Russian uranium dealings …..and Trumps Ties to the Russian Oligarchy. All of the American politicians have their best interest at play.

    Republicans are questioning why we're risking nuclear Armageddon and putting up billions of dollars to fight a proxy war with russia, while ignoring china. These are valid questions, especially when you've got a hyper-corrupt Ukrainian government that are the good guys in the conflict. A government that has taken wartime powers to completely eliminate any political rivals within Ukraine.

    Is the media going to spin this as "supporting russia"? Of course. They are lock-step in support of biden and democrats as a whole. Republicans are far from pure or 100% good, but no, they're not acting as russian agents when questioning this war we have chosen to enter.

    FJ Brandon cleaned up Ukraine when -0- and he were Pres. and VP, remember?

    They did such a good job that they made it a place worthy of conducting Brandon's crime family business.

    Yup, that was back when Putin offered to pay Ukraine billions of dollars to keep it friendly to russia, but the american cia backed the rebels to overthrow the old government... then burisma (that was in business with the old regime) promptly put hunter biden and a fed on their board to ensure the USA (through biden) would tell the new american-friendly government to play nice with burisma. Then trump pumped a bunch of american military tech into ukraine... THEN VP kamala talked about ukraine joining NATO as big biden(with his burisma ties that was in control of the ukraine mess under obama) took over as president. Seems like A f-ton of putin-poking leading up to putin invading that nobody wants to admit to in this "unprovoked attack" on ukraine.

    Then you've got boris johnson telling zeleknsky not to take russia's peace deal when he was visiting while the west pumped military industrial complex tech into the country.

    We should never involved ourselves in this and history have proven that sanctions only hurt us. We should have minded our own business. Biden is only sending hush money to Ukraine.
