“Now and the last two years, with less than 3% of our defense budget, two years running, with the Ukrainians have eliminated 87% of the Russians pre existing ground forces, 63% of their tanks, 32% of their armored personnel carriers”

Tales from Uniparty/MIC never never land. Apparently, the ATACMS missiles are the latest silver bullet. The Ukes used 10 last week in an attack on an air base in Crimea. The Russians shot 8 down at nearly a million bucks a pop.

The exact same tired lies we’ve heard for two years. Why this ridiculous fascination with the Kerch Bridge? The Russians have a completed overland rail line to Crimea. Geesh, listening to these warmongering MIC whores gets so tedious.

The Ukraine bills were packed with Trillions of woke spending in consolidated spending bills. Over and over.

Warner is the one communicating on a Spy App with Russia to set up Trump, and he said he would deny it, if caught.

Crimea is an island. There cannot be any “overland rail” onto it.

Tales from Uniparty/MIC never never land.

The real lie -- the most egregious falsehood -- from the MIC has been fed to us for decades: the MIC has consistently told us that Russia (and now China) are equivalent militarily to Western forces, and we need the funding to counter that enormous threat.

They've used that nonsensical garbage to line their own pockets, and those of their well-connected friends.

Warner himself essentially (inadvertently) admits that in this interview. If Ukraine, with only 3% of our defense budget, can bring the "mighty Russian Bear" to a stalemate, why have we spent 30-times that amount? Wealth, for those in and around the MIC.

There is no way, on God's green Earth, that a country with a GDP less than the state of California can have a military the equivalent of a Western nation, especially the United States. It's a lie, it's always been a lie, and Putin has revealed that truth to the world. It's a third-world nation with a garbage, third-world military.

Crimea is a peninsula, not an island. Ask ChatGPT.

When folks wonder about Russia, the best zero propaganda way to learn what life is like there is via youtube videos produced by vloggers PRIOR TO 2022. There are many.

Also prior to 2022, from about 2011, the only access for NASA astronauts to the International Space Station was via the hyper-reliable Soyuz spacecraft.

If Crimea were an island, it could have become the Russian Formosa/Taiwan back in Soviet days. That was the premise for a Russian novel fifty years ago. But it isn’t an island.

If nukes fly, I just hope DC get it first so we all have a chance to laugh.

Heh, he pulled off something similar in his felonious anti Trump activities 2016 through 2019. Why not do it again?

Shut up and stop asking the obvious. Your free thinking is noted and there will be consequences.

Did I not see photos of a large bridge being constructed to facilitate the Russian railway from Mariupol onto Crimea? I’m sure I did.

China and Russia are massive land powers. If you go fight them on their border, you are going to lose. They are puny sea or global military entities. Countering their non existent global threats is where we waste all of our money. When we blunder into countering their actual stregths (on their border), we are the puny one.

It’s not an island. It’s a peninsula. And yes, rail does go there. Think about it, when the Ukes cut off the fresh water canal before the war...that water was coming from the Dnieper river from central Ukraine. That water didn’t have to cross a Black Sea to get to Crimea.

Warner is the purest deep-state/CIA prop and stooge among America’s supposedly “elected” representatives in the House and Senate

If someone told me his brain was removed and replaced with a MIC/CIA AI GPU, it might even be believable.

Yes, from Crimea running east, there is a bridge to Russia. From Crimea north, you could WALK all the way north across Ukraine.
Before the war the Ukes even had a little DMZ between Crimea and Ukraine. They dammed up the fresh water canal also.
Now that area is Russian and has been annexed into the Russian Federation, and there is rail crossing it.
The Kerch Bridge is important, but dropping it would not isolate Crimea.

Maripol and Crimea are on the same side of Sea of Azov.... no bridge needed.

The overland rail is there. Please look at a map of Ukraine for once.

Mark Warner is the biggest empty suit in The Senate. Which is a true accomplishment of sorts.

You might be thinking of the bridge to Krasnodar, to the east. The Kerch Bridge. But if you look on a map, leave Sevastopol and trace your way north and you’ll see the land link.
