ApePee [30 minutes ago]:

With results from almost 88% of about 6,000 polling stations counted by the Slovak Statistics Office, former Prime Minister Robert Fico and his leftist Smer, or Direction, party led with 23.7 % of the vote.

A liberal, pro-West newcomer, the Progressive Slovakia party, was a distant second with 15.6% of the votes cast Saturday.

With no party likely to win a majority of seats, a coalition government would need to be formed.


The left-wing Hlas (Voice) party, led by Fico’s former deputy in Smer, Peter Pellegrini, was in third with 15.4%. Pellegrini parted ways with Fico after Smer lost the previous election in 2020, but their possible reunion would boost Fico’s chances to form a government.

Sadly, this is less hyperbolic than what gets said on Russia 1 TV every day.

The Russian Empire was an ally of the United States for about 130+ years, before the US became an empire (now bankrupt and collapsing).

I wouldn’t call Imperial Russia an ally, but the relationship was cordial.

Yeah every story you don’t want to hear is a lie. None of these things are really happening.
Why if I listen to some of you there is no real world.

Except your fantasy world where Russia is a poor little lamb that can do no wrong.

“The “West” means Klaus Schwab, WEF, Globohomo, Bill Gates, Obama, and Justin
Trudeau. Let Vladimir Putin attack them all he wants. It’s not by circus; not my monkeys. “

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

The “East” means Red Ivan, BRICS, Globo-Islamo-Commie-NeoSoviet-Alliance (Russia, Belarus, North Korea, China, Venezuela, Nicaragua, IRAN), Putin, Xi Jinping, Kim Jong Un, Khomeini. Let Trump attack them all he wants. It’s about defending Americas interests against expanding imperialists monkeys.

Lulz is an apt description for this Clown World we live in.

Lutz has insight similar to Dick Morris.

I think similar “proclivities” as well.

“This escalation is a dream come true for Moscow. Serbia and Russia have been preparing the Serbs for escalations in Kosovo for months, inflaming tensions in the Balkans to distract the West from its war in Ukraine. They have flooded the information space with propaganda repeating the old claim that Kosovo belongs to Serbia ...”


Everything they say is projection.

If you want to know what they will do next, look what they accuse against Russia.

"I wonder what percentage of this is propaganda? All, part or none."
If you're in doubt, probability says all.

“This nation cannot continue to live beyond its means and this is nothing more than chaff to distract.”

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

There are costs you can’t eliminate though. It’s the costs needed to preserve America’s freedom. Freedom ISN’T free you see.
Our enemies are preparing for war (and have partly already started) against all Americas interests in the world. They are in full imperialist expansion mode.
While some of us Republicans are in full retreat, retraction and weakling mode.

Playing Hanoi Jane, and appeasing our enemies. Really? Is that what we Republicans have become?

What’s next?
Will we also suggest to defund the police because security for Americans is too expensive?? A number of naive pacifist-fundamentalist Republicans believe our traditional archenemies (China-Russia-North Korea-Iran) have suddenly turned sweet and lovely... They are in fact STILL our enemies and they are fomenting anti-American actions everywhere. It’s not a time to sleep when our enemies look down at us and and are massively expanding.

Why are you insulting yourself?
Since many of us know you are Russian.

"Yeah every story you don’t want to hear is a lie."
Yeah. It seems that way. True of both sides of every controversy, particularly concerning the Ukraine war. If it makes you happy, believe what you want.

None of these supposed enemies is attacking the continental US (only illegal immigrants do that)

The EU has a larger population and GDP and it is insane the the USA bankrupts itself as well as risks its military to defend these people from threats that they refuse to defend themselves against.

None of this is defending the actual interests of the American Nation.

It is spending to bankruptcy to defend the overseas “interests” of the DC Globohomo Imperial Regime and its worthless “allies”.

Such nonsense! NATO was dropping bombs in Serbia almost immediately after the iron curtain fell. NATO and bubba Clinton forced the birth of the gangster state Kosovo

We’ve been playing the dirty game there as long as anyone
