I've heard some commentators saying "wow wouldn't it be terrible for Putin if Ukraine turned into his Iraq"

Now we swept through Iraq and conquered every city... and we still lost! Imagine the pickle Putin will be in if he can't take Kiv.

Still early but it's interesting it hasn't happened yet.

Trump said America is stupid and Putin is smart.

Trump said Trump was smart too, so…

Really can't make this stuff up. And the Fox interviewers don't bat an eye. They should have thought bubbles above their heads.

"... and we need that right here at home as well."

The context clearly seems to be Canada and the US needing liberation from oppressive regimes.

I doubt she's ever heard of Belarus, much less has any idea where it is. Btw, that's where my grandparents are from.

too little too late for Direct (they suck)

They were early investors in RT (iirc). I definitely hold that against them.

Ukraine still holding on. 20 mile convoy of tanks stalled. [correction: convoy is stalled 20 miles from Kiv]

If Trump were President now russian tanks would already be in downtown Kiv.
