Why are you yelling at me or did your caps lock get stuck by the spittle on your keyboard?

""Even as we focus on getting Ukraine what it needs, we've always prioritized accountability, and Ukraine has, too. We have adapted our accountability practices for the combat environment to address the risk of illicit diversion, using mechanisms that go above and beyond our standard practices," Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Colin H. Kahl today told the House Armed Services Committee."

Says it all for me. I'm sure the Trumpies will claim that the DoD folk are simply lying to cover their own asses because that's what they would do. The GOP has become the 'Crooked Party' and they assume that everyone else is just as crooked as they are. Fuck that noise...

Not only does America now look weaker, It's is seen as a country that extorts other democratic countries.
What country wants a partner like this.

Europe has no strength. Europe is broke. (Biden delivered Germany, the engine of Europe to Ted Cruz.) What they, the Europeans, want is the continuation of checks from the Americans for the Ukraine Project. But the Americans want out and they want an audit.

Anyone who watched hearings on Rubio's confirmation or his interview with Megyn Kelly has a good idea where America's present interest lies.

Germany to Ted Cruz? Listen to a Megyn Kelly interview? Damn, Donny Boy. You've gone off the deep end.

Rubio defends US - Russia talks. Says Trump rightfully upset with Zelensky.

Hmm Zelensky.

Ted Cruz is 'head' of US Energy Inc.
The interview highlights the fixation with China. It gives much insight on such a fixation. But you just want to play on the interviewer.

quote:

Now, we should engage on our national interests. That doesn’t – engagement and concessions are two different things. What’s been horrifying is that for 25 or 30 years, we’ve treated China as a developing country, and we allowed them to continue to do things that were unfair. We said, go ahead, let them cheat on trade, let them steal our technology, because when they get rich they’ll become just like us. They became rich, they did not become like us, and now they want to continue to have these unfair benefits. That has to stop.

QUESTION: And they built up their military.

SECRETARY RUBIO: Their military, their industrial capacity, but all over the world their control of critical minerals. Again, I go back to them because people don’t think about it.

QUESTION: Buying up land in the United States.

He seems to think Americans want what trump wants. What trump wants is what Putin wants.
Reich-wing media poisons the mind, intentionally.

Trump is the guy in power and Rubio is his "polite" spoke-person. They are saying they want the Ukraine war to end quickly because they want to concentrate on China. They have been saying that before the election and they won.

Now if the Europeans want to continue the war they would have to foot the bill.
But lo and behold they are broke.
