Thanks for spotting the error QoS!

"Ukraine is a pet of the left, so Russia is their natural enemy."
Do you think the government of Russia is our friend? You do realize that Putin is ex-KGB, right?
"Ex", my butt. Once KGB, always KGB.
People like to say the Cold War is over and has been since the fall of the USSR.
It isn't over. It was never over.

He has thrown any pretense of being honorable out the window. He has no choice but to stay in the race and nobody wants to bankroll him.
This is like a bad comedy at this point.
"Hey everybody, I'm Joe Biden. Remember last week when I told y'all I didn't peddle influence in Ukraine? Riddle me this, if I had sold my seat to the Ukrainians, then why is my campaign being bankrolled by Azerbaijan? That's what I thought. So like I said, the first thing I'd do as President is raise your taxes."
This guy is a loser. Straight up. Tone deaf in every way. Openly corrupt. His entire campaign is nothing more than a half-ass attempt to keep himself out of jail. It's obvious.
Ukraine crisis: Timeline
Putin throws President Yanukovych an economic lifeline, agreeing to buy $15bn of Ukrainian debt and reduce the price of Russian gas supplies by about a third.

When Facebook announced its plans to acquire WhatsApp in February 2014, WhatsApp's founders attached a purchase price of $16 billion: $4 billion in cash and $12 billion remaining in Facebook shares. This price tag is dwarfed by the actual price Facebook paid: $21.8 billion, or $55 per user.
Facebook agreed to pay $19.6 billion — adding $3.6 billion to the original price as compensation to WhatsApp employees for staying on board at Facebook. However, Facebook share prices soared to $77.56 from $68 by the time the regulatory approval process concluded in October. By then, the agreed upon 184 million Facebook shares inflated the final sale price by an additional $1.7 billion.

Nor are the crusades over. The US has been drug into a war that's been raging for a long time now.

Funny, I was thinking the other day, watching all this nonsense in the Middle East, that World War I isn't over yet, either.

Sounds like the media has done another about-face and are now throwing their support behind Joe Biden once again. I heard it a few times on NPR today them talking about him being the front runner again, even if a little shaky. Now this, Biden has a new Super PAC in his corner. He's gonna have millions of dollars pouring in once again. The funny part? The guy who runs the Super PAC is a registered foreign agent. Lol

If this is true then, Holy Shut.
Don't know how he would know though.
Oh dear. I have to think at some point, someone in the Deep State would decide that the old crone is a bigger liability than an asset.
