I wonder, wonder, wonder what it will take for Trump to side against Russia and for his own country?

Somehow I don't think that Putin killing US servicemen will be it.

Iran says strikes contradict Trump's 'extended deadline for diplomacy'
www.bbc.com

... Iran's foreign minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi says that Israel "has hit 2 of Iran's largest steel factories, a power plant and civilian nuclear sites among other infrastructure".

In a message shared on X, he says that "Israel claims it acted in coordination with the U.S." and the attack "contradicts POTUS extended deadline for diplomacy".

Iran will "exact HEAVY price," he adds.

It comes less than 24 hours after US President Donald Trump said he would pause any attacks on Iranian energy infrastructure for a further 10 days.

It comes as the Israeli military says it has struck the Arak heavy water plant in central Iran. ...

Well, NATO is Helping Ukraine... Big Time.

And Has Been for years.

So?

So Americans aren't being killed because Nato is helping Ukraine.

Russia is helping to kill Americans, whether they should be there of not.

Does Vlad by any chance have a Pee Tape on you?

We've known since '16 that he was a Russian asset, so none of this is surprising.
If it degrades the US, it's military and it's relations with traditional allies, Felon47 is for it.

Trump is helping to kill Americans. By starting an Aggressive and Illegal War.

FIFY.

The "Troops" should refuse to be deployed..

They should be conscientious Objectors to this Illegal and Immoral War.

If they willingly go to Fight?..

Knowing is it's an ILLEGAL order?

Why should I care if they get hurt committing a crime?

I'm not a Russian or even a Russia Supporter.

Expecting Americans to be for the "Troops" even when the mission is a Crime is Inane.

I don't support the Troops.

You believe whatever Putin says, like that he invaded Ukraine to free it from Nazis... much like any of our Trumpers believe whatever that POS says.

And I doubt this SC is going to side with soldiers who disobey orders because this is an 'illegal' war.

Technically it's prolly not unless Congress intervenes.

Putin is a Turd. He started an illegal war.

I have never been for the SMO I just thought NATO intervention was not a good thing. I still don't.

Donbass was at risk for Ethnic Cleansing by the Ukrainians that part of the story is true.

There were other cards Russia could have played besides invading.

The Iran war is a whole other level of Evil.

It's an Aggressive War being Waged for Obscure and Suspect motives driven by Hubris and Opportunity and Greed.

The Israelis were Massacring an entire People for two years leading up to it but they are just "Defending" Themselves?

The Perfidious nature of the Attack and it's lack of any real Objectives show a War of Conquest or Economic Domination to be the true motives.

Everything Russia was Accused of in Ukraine, But With a Truly Genocidal Aspect to it, given Israel's Barbaric Actions in Gaza and American Lockstep support of Genocide There and Aggressive War in Iran.

Stick your Sanctimony where the Sun don't Shine, Fella.

No, it was never true, just another of Vlad's lies that you swallowed whole.

"The allegation that the Donbass region was at risk of ethnic cleansing or genocide by Ukrainian authorities between 2014 and 2022 has been a central narrative used by the Russian government to justify its military actions. However, this claim is widely considered false and unsubstantiated by international bodies and researchers."

"ICJ Ruling: In March 2022, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) found no evidence to support Russia's allegations of genocide, ruling that Russia must "immediately cease its military operations in Ukraine"."

"Putin has long said genocide was happening in the Donbas region of Eastern Ukraine. When gas supplies were interrupted in 2015, Putin said it "smells of genocide." In 2019, he predicted a mass slaughter of ethnic Russians there on the scale of Srebrenica, a massacre in the former Yugoslavia's civil war, when Serbs slaughtered over 7,000 Muslim men and boys. In 2021, he said the conflict in Donbas "looks like genocide."

There is no evidence for claims of genocide. But invoking it gives Putin a pretext for the invasion."

You've been supplied with these facts for years here, but you continue to spread Putin's lies about genocide and Nazis.

Sure. That's why Russians Ethnically Cleansed the passengers on Malaysia Airlines Flight 17.

Israel is Ethnic Cleansing southern Lebanon,Gaza,and possibly Syria.

Israel is Waging Aggressive War on three Fronts. Killing Civilians and displacing populations as they can.

Ukraine was killing their own people,what were the 14,000 dead in Donbass?

The US loves to side with Murdering Bigots.

Wherever they are found. Bonesaw Bin Salman?

Remember him, he had an American murdered cuz' he didn't like the cut of his Jib.

Trump calls him, my "Buddy".

He's also pushing the War against Iran.

No War Crimes for him. He's one of the "Good" Guys.

Ask anyone in the US State department.

ISIS was and is a Creature of Israeli and US Aggression. Created and Funded by the
US and Israel until they went Berserk and started Chopping Heads off on Video.

Al Quaeda was our Ally in Afghanistan until they blew up the Twin Towers.... Oops?

Bush protected the Saudis when they were the Real Attackers and Invaded Iran Cuz' Bibi wanted him to.

Face it, The US and Israel are not Credible Moral Actors.

They are Lying Thugs and Killers.

With a Terrible track record of Picking Monsters to Elevate instead of less horrible alternatives.

Just not Credible at All.

You Taco faster than Trump:

The KGB was running the uprisings in Donbass:

"Igor Girkin (Strelkov): Identified as a former Russian military intelligence agent (GRU) and a pivotal figure in the 2014 war in Donbas, commanding separatist forces in Slaviansk and Donetsk.

He is known for his far-right views and monarchist, "White Russian" ideology, aiming to create a "Novorossiya".

Igor Bezler ("Demon"): Identified by the SBU as a Russian military intelligence agent who coordinated actions directly with Moscow, leading rebel units in Horlivka.

Pavel Gubarev: A pro-Russian activist in Donetsk who had previous involvement in the neo-Nazi and Russian chauvinist organization "Russian National Unity".

;;

"Russian Far-Right Volunteers: The "Rusich" Sabotage Assault Reconnaissance Group, led by neo-Nazi Alexey Milchakov, was active in the conflict with links to the Russian Imperial Movement (RIM), a far-right organization.

Russian Intelligence Role: Reports indicate that many of the leaders in the early stages of the "Russian Spring" in 2014 were backed or directed by Russian intelligence services, with many holding extremist views.

Denial of "Civil War": Some separatist leaders have later admitted that the conflict in 2014 was driven by Russian involvement rather than a strictly internal civil war."
