Here is the reality. If Putin got what he wanted in the first place, there would have been no war. And it would have been better for all sides. NATO backing off and especially not letting Ukraine join. Simple. And then we have to think simple. That would be biden with his threats in the press and sanctions while supplying Ukraine with weapons like all of NATO was doing, and they backed Putin into a corner where he had to act or look like a coward in the face of babbling biden.

I don't want war and wish Putin didn't invade. But I am smart enough to realize he is the one who is right in the main issues at stake here. NATO's aggressive actions. NATO needs to be disbanded and America go home. Leave Europe to take care of itself as independent states, breaking up the European Union except for free travel and commerce, but all free to make their own laws for themselves. And engage Russia as just another independent state seeking commerce and free trade with them.

Then arm every adult with a long rifle making it virtually impossible for any invader to prevail. Like Switzerland.

Is it a lie? Are the Ukraine speaking people of western Ukraine really r****ts? Do they deny seats on a bus to b****s, Indians, and Asians? Do they? Does Poland actually deny entrance to black, Indian and Asian refugee's?????? I Zelensky an American puppet? Was he installed by the US??? Does he subscribe the the State Media position that all Russians must die!!!!????? Is that being broadcast by the State Run Media?????? Do Ukraine soldiers not want to knwo who they have been targeting with their weapons simply because they want to be able to sleep; they do not want to know if they are shooting a school, hospital or people's apartments.

Is the Russian army truly bogging down or are they moving methodically slow to avoid excessive civilian casualties???? What is actually happening. Is the US media being t***hful?

Why does Biden not want to put up a no fly zone???? It ain't because he is a green i***t!!!

Let's answer these questions before we commit to anythingn that might destroy the world our children need for life!!

It’s official as more and more republicans join in praising Vladimir Putin. I guess these TPP members want and autocratic form of government with Trump a Putin running this country.

TPP = TRUMP PUTIN PARTY

As the Right wing moves further right there almost in Russia. Congrats all you Trump lovers you are now in line to be called c*******t instead of Republicans.

The name fits your ideological beliefs.

I studied Hitler and could not fully understand how a great nation like Germany could elect a guy like Hitler but now I understand when I read all these conspiracy theories that infiltrate the minds of the ignorant TPP party of c*******t.

"I MISS BILL"



It doesn't matter what party you belong to, this is good - natured political humor from a Canadian TV show, where a black comedian said he misses Bill Clinton...

"Yep, that's right - I miss Bill Clinton"

He was the closest thing we ever got to having a real black man as President.

He plays the saxophone.He smoked weed. He had his way with ugly white women.

Even now? Look at him... his wife works, and he doesn't! And, he gets a check from the government every month.

Manufacturers announced today that they will be stocking America's shelves this week with "Clinton Soup," in honor of one of the nations' distinguished men. It consists primarily of a weenie in hot water.

Chrysler Corporation is adding a new car to its line to honor Bill Clinton. The Dodge Drafter will be built in Canada.

When asked what he thought about foreign affairs, Clinton replied, "I don't know, I never had one."

The Clinton revised judicial oath: "I solemnly swear to tell the t***h as I know it, the whole t***h as I believe it to be, and nothing but what I think you need to know."

Clinton will be recorded in history as the only President to have sex in the Oval Office between the Bushes.

It's just been announced by Dell that a new computer will be introduced to the market in the near future. It's the Bill Clinton model featuring a 6 inch hard-drive and no memory.

Profile: Who are Ukraine’s far-right Azov regiment?
The far-right neo-N**i group has expanded to become part of Ukraine’s armed forces, a street m*****a and a political party.

As the Russian invasion of Ukraine enters its sixth day, a Ukrainian far-right military regiment is back in the headlines.

Russian President Vladimir Putin referenced the presence of such units within the Ukrainian military as one of the reasons for launching his so-called “special military operation … to de-militarise and de-N**ify Ukraine”.

On Monday, Ukraine’s national guard tweeted a video showing Azov fighters coating their bullets in pig fat to be used allegedly against Muslim Chechens – allies of Russia – deployed in their country.

Azov has also been involved in training civilians through military exercises in the run-up to Russia’s invasion.

So what is the Azov regiment?
Azov is a far-right all-volunteer infantry military unit whose members – estimated at 900 – are ultra-nationalists and accused of harbouring neo-N**i and w***e s*********t ideology.

The unit was initially formed as a volunteer group in May 2014 out of the ultra-nationalist Patriot of Ukraine gang, and the neo-N**i Social National Assembly (SNA) group. Both groups engaged in xenophobic and neo-N**i ideals and physically assaulted migrants, the Roma community and people opposing their views.

As a battalion, the group fought on the front lines against pro-Russian separatists in Donetsk, the eastern region of Ukraine. Just before launching the invasion, Putin recognised the independence of two rebel-held regions from Donbas.

A few months after recapturing the strategic port city of Mariupol from the Russian-backed separatists, the unit was officially integrated into the National Guard of Ukraine on November 12, 2014, and exacted high praise from then-President Petro Poroshenko.

“These are our best warriors,” he said at an awards ceremony in 2014. “Our best volunteers.”

Who founded Azov?
The unit was led by Andriy Biletsky, who served as the the leader of both the Patriot of Ukraine (founded in 2005) and the SNA (founded in 2008). The SNA is known to have carried out attacks on minority groups in Ukraine.

In 2010, Biletsky said Ukraine’s national purpose was to “lead the white races of the world in a final crusade … against Semite-led Untermenschen [inferior races]”.

Biletsky was elected to parliament in 2014. He left Azov as elected officials cannot be in the military or police force. He remained an MP until 2019.

The 42-year-old is nicknamed Bely Vozd – or White Ruler – by his supporters. He established the far-right National Corps party in October 2016, whose core base is veterans of Azov.

Before becoming part of Ukraine’s armed forces, who funded Azov?
The unit received backing from Ukraine’s interior minister in 2014, as the government had recognised its own military was too weak to fight off the pro-Russian separatists and relied on paramilitary volunteer forces.

These forces were privately funded by oligarchs – the most known being Igor Kolomoisky, an energy magnate billionaire and then-governor of the Dnipropetrovska region.

In addition to Azov, Kolomoisky funded other volunteer battalions such as the Dnipro 1 and Dnipro 2, Aidar and Donbas units.

Azov received early funding and assistance from another oligarch: Serhiy Taruta, the billionaire governor of Donetsk region.

Neo-N**i ideology
In 2015, Andriy Diachenko, the spokesperson for the regiment at the time said that 10 to 20 percent of Azov’s recruits were N**is.

The unit has denied it adheres to N**i ideology as a whole, but N**i symbols such as the swastika and SS regalia are rife on the uniforms and bodies of Azov members.

For example, the uniform carries the neo-N**i Wolfsangel symbol, which resembles a black swastika on a yellow background. The group said it is merely an amalgam of the letters “N” and “I” which represent “national idea”.

Individual members have professed to being neo-N**is, and hardcore far-right ultra-nationalism is pervasive among members.

In January 2018, Azov rolled out its street patrol unit called National Druzhyna to “restore” order in the capital, Kyiv. Instead, the unit carried out pogroms against the Roma community and attacked members of the L***Q community.

“Ukraine is the world’s only nation to have a neo-N**i formation in its armed forces,” a correspondent for the US-based magazine, the Nation, wrote in 2019.

Human rights violations and war crimes
A 2016 report by the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OCHA) has accused the Azov regiment of violating international humanitarian law.

The report detailed incidents over a period from November 2015-February 2016 where Azov had embedded their weapons and forces in used civilian buildings, and displaced residents after l**ting civilian properties. The report also accused the battalion of raping and torturing detainees in the Donbas region.

What has been the international response to Azov?
In June 2015, both Canada and the United States announced that their own forces will not support or train the Azov regiment, citing its neo-N**i connections.

The following year, however, the US lifted the ban under pressure from the Pentagon.

In October 2019, 40 members of the US Congress led by Representative Max Rose signed a letter unsuccessfully calling for the US State Department to designate Azov as a “foreign terrorist organisation” (FTO). Last April, Representative Elissa Slotkin repeated the request – which included other w***e s*********t groups – to the Biden administration.

T***snational support for Azov has been wide, and Ukraine has emerged as a new hub for the far right across the world. Men from across three continents have been documented to join the Azov training units in order to seek combat experience and engage in similar ideology.

The oscillation of Facebook
In 2016, Facebook first designated the Azov regiment a “dangerous organisation”.

Under the company’s Dangerous Individuals and Organizations policy, Azov was banned from its platforms in 2019. The group was placed under Facebook’s Tier 1 designation, which includes groups such as the Ku Klux Klan and ISIL (ISIS). Users engaging in praise, support or representation of Tier 1 groups are also banned.

However, on February 24, the day Russia launched its invasion, Facebook reversed its ban, saying it would allow praise for Azov.

“For the time being, we are making a narrow exception for praise of the Azov regiment strictly in the context of defending Ukraine, or in their role as part of the Ukraine national guard,” a spokesperson from Facebook’s parent company, Meta, told Business Insider.

“But we are continuing to ban all h**e speech, h**e symbolism, praise of violence, generic praise, support, or representation of the Azov regiment, and any other content that violates our community standards,” it added.

The reversal of policy will be an immense headache for Facebook moderators, the Intercept, a US-based website, said.

“While Facebook users may now praise any future battlefield action by Azov soldiers against Russia, the new policy notes that ‘any praise of violence’ committed by the group is still forbidden; it’s unclear what sort of nonviolent warfare the company anticipates,” the Intercept wrote.
