Budapest news in English
Not only that they know there are another dozen or so homes they own that are fully equipped with everything they need they can flee too when people get on to their many cons.
To provide some context as to why we are in the current situation. It was no surprise that Putin would eventually invade again if the US and NATO continued to ignore their red line. We could have had a diplomatic solution but chose not to. Better to jaw, jaw, jaw, than war, war, war.
And our actions after Russia invaded the second time were not thought out. We are now in a new Cold War and our response sparked a global political realignment that is not in our long term interests. As Robert Gates said of Biden, "I think he has been wrong on nearly every major foreign policy and national security issue over the past four decades.” We have a corrupt, compromised President along with fools and knaves who are leading us off a cliff. I am very concerned that they will come up with some false flag event to get us directly involved in Ukraine on the ground before the 2024 election.
The Russians invaded the whole country of Ukraine, and they can stop. They can offer up a independent vote of the “returned” Oblasts. But none of this had to become a war that is now in stalemate. And this stalemate is not beneficial to them or Ukraine.
They invaded in 2014 after the coup. They invaded this time after they laid down the red line to Stoltenberg in the autumn of 2021. The red line should have triggered an immediate diplomatic response to head off the second invasion.
While Russian troops were massing on Ukraine's borders prior to the February 2022 second invasion, Blinken signed on November 10, 2021 the U.S.-Ukraine Charter on Strategic Partnership Among other things the US was committed to:
The United States and Ukraine endorse the 2021 Strategic Defense Framework as the foundation of enhanced Ukraine-U.S. defense and security cooperation and intend to work to advance shared priorities, including implementing defense and defense industry reforms, deepening cooperation in areas such as Black Sea security, cyber defense, and intelligence sharing, and countering Russia’s aggression.
The United States remains committed to assisting Ukraine with ongoing defense and security reforms and to continuing its robust training and exercises. The United States supports Ukraine’s efforts to maximize its status as a NATO Enhanced Opportunities Partner to promote interoperability.
Sorry, not offhand. I depend on other news sources to report what is going on in Hungary. As you probably know, Orban is considered an outlier or maverick when it comes to EU/NATO policies. He is definitely against taking any migrants into Hungary as is Poland.
Way too funny, Ask the hubby if he is up housing some of the Illegal’s we have here in Texas, or if he just full of socialist poop
………..
He will,say that’s not my job…. It’s the goats showing his lack of understanding of the impact on him or his family
Thanks
without question.
I think that’s what eventually killed the money for Ukraine they were so arrogant they thought no one would actually ask where the money was going.
Yeah multiply that times a million.....
Some Rs have introduced bills to require AUDIT of funds to Ukraine but they keep getting voted down or ignored.
Here is an example from last November when the ante was “only” $103 Billion.
“arrogant” is the work. I recall the last time Zelenskyy was in DC and addressing the country and joint session of coungress. He looked into the camera with his beady eyes and aaid something to the effect: American people I know you can afford to give more. Your sons and daughters may even have to join us in this worthy fight. Huh? And no audit???!!
Not one fact was new to me. I know the context. Speaking of that, would Russia have done so if Trump was still president? Didn’t Biden approve it by saying, right before the Russians invaded, that a “little invasion” would be okay? Can you imagine Trump saying that? And in all the long years since the Soviets fell, Russia was also meddling in Ukraine. It is not so cut and dry. Who poisoned their President in 2004? Who armed the Donbas separatists in 2008? This pot has been boiling for a long while. But you are correct to say diplomacy is the better solution.
And what about the NATO role? Should NATO reject membership to countries because they’re close to Russia? As things stand, EVERY European country except Belarus and Ukraine are now part of it. It is too late to put that genie back in the bottle.
How do the Ukrainians, despised as they are, go forward? Do they surrender and hope for what’s best?
Our actions were not thought out well, nor in our best interests LONG before Russia’s 2022 attack. I do agree with Gates. We (Clinton, Bush and Obama) meddled in more than Ukraine. Yugoslavia... Rwanda, Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria. And who can forget the so-called Arab Spring? Was Mubarak that bad to the Egyptian people or did American democrats have a role in stirring the pot? We sure did in Libya.
Trump was right on Afghanistan, but Biden absolutely f’d that up. The Abraham Accords was the right way to go, even if the Saudis killed a journalist. That got thrown out because of Biden, too.
But all of this is a moot point. ISIS is gone. Why are we still in Syria? Mubarak is dead, so is Gaddafi.
But war still rages in Ukraine.
We should rally together to stop it. I think your proposal for Trump to “get them together by withholding aid” is important but only one step. Would the Russians accept Donbas, permanent status on Crimea and withdraw from the rest?
The media will paint RFK as a one trick pony who doesn't believe in any vaccination for ... THE CHILDREN ... and we know who that will rile up... same ones who, ironically, love them some abortions.
What I have seen among liberals/leftists/socialists in the USA is that RFK is just a MAGA/QANON/Antivaxxer moron. They just won’t listen to him or his sound ideas because of this.
They pigeonholed him right into the deplorables category.
So they’ll ignore him as “one of us”.
Churchill did the same thing.
I would expect a national leader at war to beg for his country or demand free stuff when the country he’s begging from is so generously providing it.
Better to be aware of Joe Biden’s beady eyes because us getting all mad at Zelensky and his arrogance (he does have that) is a diversion to the real culprits.
I’m not sure it is actually Joe, but the power that is behind him. That’s where you’ll find true evil.
There are too many R cowards afraid of bad PR from mainstream media, while elections following shutdowns show little or no losses. People forget, especially 15 months out.
Weigh the fears against the benefits of reduced spending, wasted Ukraine dollars, and the border. I believe you are correct about McCarthy's survival after 45 days, but I hope for conservative Rs to push it hard and shut it down. None of these failures can be laid at the feet of Rs.

Joe told us we have NO CHOICE in the matter. And our elected representatives apparently agree with Joe. They do not care what We the People want.
And thanks you but I can have more than one boogie man at a time.
Shalom
It’s really no wonder that Zelensky is asking for more timely aid when everyone here and in his neighborhood was practically falling all over themselves to outdo each other’s soaring rhetoric of promises made to him when Russia invaded.
So true, but...
Bad PR from mainstream media is ALL they'll ever get. "Eat me last, Mr. Crocodile."
