    Yeah like John Gotti was Paul Castellano's junior partner until Gotti decided he wanted to be the boss instead.

    How did this country elect such a moron?


    One small flaw to that plan: The Chinese Air Force doesn't use F-22s.

    While def a flaw, not even close to the biggest one.

    This megamind was CIC barely more than a year ago. Might be again in less than three more.

    Sorry, there are no good Russians until they stop following bad Russians over a cliff. Not ten years after they threw off the yoke of communism, they voted for a KGB assassin to rule over them and over twenty years later, they're still stuck with him and here we are. Tired of their ballot pimping, ballet primping, Laika-killing, tank rolling, missile parading, nuclear power plant bombing, cheating at ice skating and everything else and getting away with it asses.

    I found a more soothing, less distressing version of this footage.

    "Evacuation checkpoint near Kyiv shelled

    From CNN's Tim Lister in Kyiv

    An evacuation crossing point for civilians trying to escape the Irpin district west of Kyiv was shelled Sunday morning.

    International media were filming at the location when what appears to have been an artillery shell landed.

    At the time a stream of civilians was coming through the checkpoint.

    Media organizations at the scene of the explosion near Irpin say at least three civilians have been killed, including two children."

    Jeez. I’d prefer we all completely ignore him, but honestly I’m a little relieved that this… I’ll call it a joke …was at least antagonistic toward Russia.

    "World Health Organization warns of "multiple deaths and injuries" as Ukraine's health care facilities attacked

    From CNN's Sharon Braithwaite in London

    The World Health Organization (WHO) has confirmed "several attacks on health care [centers] in Ukraine, causing multiple deaths and injuries," WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said Sunday.

    "Additional reports are being investigated," Tedros said on his verified Twitter account, without mentioning Russia. "Attacks on healthcare facilities or workers breach medical neutrality and are violations of international humanitarian law," he added.

    So far, the WHO has confirmed six attacks to health care facilities, the head of the WHO office in Ukraine, Jarno Habicht, told the BBC on Sunday"

    Next time Trump won’t make the mistake of putting people in positions that disagree with him, guys like Pence, Barr, Mattison, Esper occasionally told him he had bad ideas…. Never again.

    Another is that F22s don’t have much of a bombing capability. You could do what he was saying with the F35, but then it wouldn’t matter if you painted false flags on them or not, because you would only do this at night, and no one would ever see them.

    The striking thing to me is that it was said in front of donors. People still willing to give this nut money. It probably got a round of applause too. Unreal.

    Cnn live-- another country looking for EU membership & to work with the US. More backfire LOL

    "Moldova pledges support for refugees, as it pushes for EU membership

    From Colin McCullough

    Moldovan Prime Minister Natalia Gavrilita said her country is “firmly committed” to European integration and stressed her desire for the nation to obtain European Union membership.
    .....
    According to Gavrilita, more than 230,000 people have crossed over the Moldovan border from Ukraine, with 120,000 staying in the country.

    “For a small country like Moldova proportionately this is a very large number. And managing such an influx because only been possible because of the extraordinary solidarity shown by every person, every company, every nongovernmental organization. Everybody has come together to host to provide shelter to provide food to provide assistance to those who are fleeing war,” she said.
    ....
    "And as we embark on this journey, we know that we can count on the friendship on the strong support with the United States.”"
