Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Wednesday, September 25, 2024

Melania Trump was paid $237,000 to make a rare appearance at a political event in April, although it's unclear who forked over the cash. Melania Trump delivered speeches at two fundraisers for the Log Cabin Republicans, a group for LGBT conservatives, in April and July this year. She received the six-figure payment for the earlier event, according to former President Donald Trump's most recent financial disclosure form, CNN reported. Trump has not released a financial report for the period that covers July, although CNN also reported that a Trump ally requested a "similar" payment for the second event.

While it's not unusual for politicians' spouses to attend political events, it is rare for them to be paid for their involvement. Her participation is also notable in part because she has made very few appearances on the campaign trail in support of her husband.

"It seems pretty self-serving. From my own general observation, I'm not used to seeing that," VirginiaCanter, the chief ethics counsel at Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics, told CNN.

How many Ukrainians have gone to Valhalla for NATO?

The world may never know.

It's top secret.

Even Congress isn't given any information.

Gee, I wonder why?

Could it be because the figures dwarf Russian losses?

Could it be because the desire to continue might flag if it looks like the Ukrainians are running out of eligible meat for the grinder?

Or is it guilt because this war obviously only helps military contractors and War Pigs in Europe and the US?

Ukrainians only get to Die.

They don't even have a Democracy to die for.

It was taken away by Zelinsky for his own self serving reasons.

How could the numbers possibly be "good"?

Ukraine is being ruthlessly attacked by Russia. Hundreds of thousands are dying.

And in any hot war handing over sensitive information to the enemy, and possibly demoralizing the population, is not very smart.

Russia has not released official numbers either. Dont hear you complaining about that for some weird reason. All we have are the estimates of casualties on both sides from American officials.

Both sides will always overestimate enemy deaths. For obvious reasons . And I told you before. The first casualty in any war is the truth.

Maybe someday you will learn this. After you have seen enough war. And don't worry. There is always one somewhere.

And by the way. We all hate war. Not just you. And I am not going so far as to say war is the natural state of humans but, there has NEVER been a period in human history where there was absolutely no war occurring somewhere on Earth.

#19 Putin wanted to talk with Biden and NATO leaders about NATO and Security arrangements In December 2021. He warned that Military Technical operations would proceed unless an agreement was made.

Biden refused talk about it at all. NATO likewise.

Putin wasn't bluffing. Then in early 2022 when a cease fire was still possible if the right deal was made,the NATO countries refused to participate and encouraged the Ukrainians to keep fighting to "Weaken Russia".

It looks like there's plenty of blame on both sides for this horror.

Now Ukraine will lose far more than if they had Negotiated.

NATO doesn't care. It's seen as a cheap way to "Weaken Russia" without anybody Who Matters getting hurt.

Why wouldn't Biden talk to Putin? What's wrong with at least trying to negotiate to Prevent War?

Biden just called Putin a Thug and called for Regime Change in Russia.

Not Diplomacy, the very opposite of it, in fact.

A little good will and some Actual Diplomatic relationships could have prevented this or at least Minimized the extent of it.

Instead, Biden chose insults and stonewalling over Negotiations and Detente.

It looks to me like NATO WANTED WAR.

Biden certainly didn't do Anything to even try to avoid a Russian move on Ukraine.

"President Biden on Saturday warned Russian President Vladimir Putin that if Russia invaded Ukraine, the U.S. and its allies would "respond decisively and impose swift and severe costs on Russia," the White House said.

The two leaders spoke by phone for roughly an hour."

"President Biden reiterated that a further Russian invasion of Ukraine would produce widespread human suffering and diminish Russia's standing," the White House said in a statement.

While the U.S. has remained prepared to engage with Russia diplomatically, the White House said, "We are equally prepared for other scenarios."

A senior administration official described the call as "professional and substantive.""

They never discussed NATO. They never discussed security arrangements.

Biden refused to have high level talks in December 2021 to consider the issue of Ukraine joining NATO.

He Stonewalled them. He said Ukraine could join if they were eligible and said they wouldn't be for several more years. So Putin could just calm down.

Putin wanted more than that. He wanted high Level diplomatic discussion about the role Ukraine would play in future years. He wanted to discuss arms control and the Ukrainian civil war in the Donbass.

Biden contemptuously refused to engage and started predicting a Russian invasion that he was knowingly provoking.

NATO just parroted the US line of BS.

This war was knowingly provoked and Biden was fine with that.

Putin was dumb enough to do it.

But it wasn't a lightning bolt in a blue sky.

NATO pushed it but didn't see how bad it really would be.

Putin likewise underestimated the dangers and consequences of open War.

Now NATO is Losing the War they Provoked.

Ironic isn't it.

"Now NATO is Losing the War they Provoked

What a load of malarkey.

1st
NATO is not at war with Russia. The onus is on the aggressor. The attacker. And they had a choice continue to negotiate or attack. Putin made the choice to attack. No one forced him. You know it and yet you persist.

2nd
NATO did not amass hundreds of thousands of troops on Russias border and threaten Russia (all the while denying they were going to attack) . NATO has never threatened to attack Russians. In Russia. Ever. Not unless Russia attacks a NATO country. It's not in their charter. And probably the only thing keeping that war from spreading out of "control".

3rd
If NATO actually enters the war it's all over. For Russia. End Game. Checkmate. And possibly even the end of civilization. So you and everyone else WILL know if/when NATO enters the war. There will be no question about it then.

4th
Getting really tired of your revisionist history comrade.

5th
Zelenskyy has already secured his place in history and will always be hero especially to Ukrainians who stood up to Putin and told Putin to Go F Himself. I believe it's on a famous stamp already where Ukrainian troops on Snake Island under Zelenskyy told Russian attackers that exact thing. If you act now you can get it on a pillow a hat or even a t-shirt with it printed on there.

NATO isn't directly engaged. They are arming,funding and informing the Ukrainians.

That's only a small remove from actually fighting.

NATO has a history of losing interest and just pulling out, Libya, Afghanistan. Even Serbia to some degree as only the Brits really participated.

NATO has MASSIVE war games and exercises on the Russian Western borders. They crowd Russia on the entire western periphery of their lands.

Russia was Wrong to Hit first. No argument. Putin was clear what they wanted though nobody took it at face value.

Russia isn't fighting NATO cuz that would be WW3...No holds barred most likely.

Russia Is fighting an open proxy war with NATO. With Russia as a direct belligerent but not NATO itself, Yet.

Ukraine will likely never regain their lost territory through war,only by Negotiations, if then.

Why are people still dying over this?. That's the Question. I know if I was Ukrainian I wouldn't want to die for a line on a map. Especially now when it's obvious my death would mean Nothing. Change Nothing.

NATO just doesn't want to admit Ukraine can't do it. That they have been defeated in the East.

Russia wants to negotiate.They have largely achieved their objectives.

Ukraine hasn't and won't.

It Sucks, but I guess NATO doesn't care how many Ukrainians have to Die or be Maimed to keep going. It's not their people getting wasted,it's not their infrastructure getting pulverized, it's not their country being dismembered.

Morality has a place and Russia was clearly wrong, but for God's sake just stop making it worse and risking World War... to Lose Anyway.

People say the Palestinians should know when they're beaten
And just leave or make peace.

Rightly so. At least to a point. Is endless war in anyone's interest.

Apparently so if your own people aren't getting killed and your own country isn't getting destroyed and it's profitable,and helps test new weapons.

You can break the situation down like this:

Dear leader is compromised. Owned by Vlad. Either by his own dark desire to be as powerful and untouchable as him, or by dark secrets that vlad holds over him. Either way, it's bad. My guess is vlad gave him instructions on how to become just like him and dear leader being a wannabe dictator is more than willing to follow his advice.

From there is just a matter of using the dirt the FSB has on the members of congress to get them to fall into line, or they are just as equally as corrupt and stupid and go along with promises of power or threats.

Just look at how fast the GOP rank and file turned from blaming donOLD for his coup attempt to embracing every single lie he has spit out about it such as "they were tourists", etc.
