    I heard on CNN that yesterday he was in a video, laughing with a judge joking about how much money he lost his bank account.

    Obviously, I wrote that as a lampoon in response to the laughable notion that we should withhold judgment until the Russian government tells us what happened.

    Just so no one goes asking me for a link or anything.

    OK. What’s your point? I’ll gladly see Putin go the same way as Saddam and can have the room right next to his.

    This effin hilarious. Do you even have the faintest clue 1) why NATO was formed in the first place, and 2) the basic entry standards for joining NATO? I’m assuming no since you wouldn’t make such idiotic posts otherwise.

    A bipartisan Senate duo of Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Bill Cassidy (R-La.) proposed renaming the road outside Russian ambassador to the U.S.' residence as “Alexei Navalny Way" after the dissident whose death in a Russian prison was announced Friday.

    1) NATO
    Can we name the road in front of the White House Gonzalo Lira Way, after the American journalist who was imprisoned and beaten in Zelensky's Ukraine with the tacit approval of President Biden, Victoria Nuland and Antony Blinken. As Gonzalo predicted, if he got caught trying to leave Ukraine he would die. And 5 weeks ago that's what happened. His crime? Exposing Biden and Zelensky corruption and telling the truth about the Ukraine war.

    Well, if Putin is 50x less brutal than Saddam, I’m not sure why you’d be so glad to see him go the same way. Especially, when you consider what it cost us to get rid of Saddam and what it would inevitably cost us to get rid of Putin. Is it worth it? I’m going with it’s not.

    NATO was formed to serve as a counterweight to COMMUNIST SOVIET forces in central and eastern Europe.

    The Soviet Union b roke apart iover 3 decades ago. We should have congratulated Russians for defeating communism and let Russia join NATO, or NATO should have been disbanded.

    Regarding Ukraine becoming a member of NATO, Zelensky himself said that he was told in late 2021 (I believe) that Ukraine would not become a member of NATO in the immediate future. Zelensky was told by the US/NATOto not to make this information public. IMO this was because the US wanted to exert pressure on Russia and make Putin think that Ukraine might eventually have US nuclear missiles that could hit Moscow in less than 5 minutes. The Biden administration wanted to start a war

    I know, right. We don't have people killed in jail (Epstein, John McAfee in Spain) unless they have videos of pedophilia stashed away somewhere.

    This is one of the most odious and disgraceful posts I have ever seen on this site!

    Glenn Greenwald, Scott Ritter and, Robert Barnes said the same thing. We are immune to deep state mind control techniques. I'm sorry they did this to you "luvstruth."

    Indefensible.
    Entirely predictable.
    Genuinely terrifying.

    It will continue to get worse unless the biggest powers in the world hold him to account. As tempting as it is to look inwards politically, it needs a united and global front to hold him in check. Whether it's Biden or Trump, the USA has to lead on this. Russia isn't frightened by anything else...

    One of the more reasoned, logical, and fact-based tweets in Ms Loomer's tweeting history. She has been a disturbed person for quite some time.
