    Heard Russia broke ceasefire and bombed a hospital complex in Mariupol. Kids and women are trapped and casualties unknown at the moment.

    JOE BIDEN HAS long been an advocate of expanding membership in NATO, leading efforts in the late 1990s to bring countries including Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic into the alliance. At the time, he characterized the additions as “righting an historical injustice forced upon the Poles, Czechs, and Hungarians by Joseph Stalin.” In a 1997 Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing, Biden forcefully laid out the case for the United States to uphold a strong NATO alliance over the long term. “The United States is a European power,” Biden said. “We have an interest not only in the lands west of the Oder River, but in the fate of the 200 million people who live in the nations between the Baltic and Black Seas.”

    the us said it oppose any plan to give fighter jets to Ukraine.

    what’s the difference, we’ve already been loading them up with weapons.

    Jen Psaki is now claiming inflation has been going down? In what world is she living?

    Regardless the CPI number comes out tomorrow and it might potentially be over 8%

    This 8% record wont last long though, it will continue to go higher. The dollar's decline is just getting started too, its about to plunge to new depths taking the American standard of living down with it

    She lives in a world where the people she is appealing to don’t care about truth and will ignore facts that don’t coincide with their tribal leader’s assertions. What incentive does she have to be factual when her lies are accepted?

    I don’t understand why any of this hits the media. Feed the Ukrainian’s fighter jets and don’t tell a soul.

    On another note it appears as though Russia has started using thermobaric weapons.

    Exactly. I’m getting tired of seeing the horrible shit going on there, and then the refusal of no fly, and now no fighter jets.
    Also, fear of chem weapons now.

    Agreed.... thats why I think most of that stuff is theater... always so much going on behind the scenes, I imagine in times like this, there's even more

    Just wait until foreign countries start dumping the US Dollar because of fear of being sanctioned like Russia. China has 3 trillion in reserves. Guess what happens when they start dumping it and start using it to purchase goods? Inflation. We haven't seen anything yet, this is just the start of the worst financial crisis in history.

    The real day of reckoning is coming, as the financial markets are going to begin to crash and the US dollar begins to plummet as it loses world reserve currency status.

    Noam Chomsky: A No-Fly Zone Over Ukraine Could Unleash Untold Violence

    Instead of pursuing diplomatic options, Putin reached for the revolver, an all-too-common reflex of power. The result is devastating for Ukraine, with the worst probably still to come. The outcome is also a very welcome gift to Washington, as Putin has succeeded in establishing the Atlanticist system even more solidly than before. The gift is so welcome that some sober and well-informed analysts have speculated that it was Washington’s goal all along.

    How you gonna get fighter jets to the Ukraine anyway? Russia has complete control of their skies. They would be wasted.

    Ukraine needs anti-aircraft weapons from the ground

    So now Poland has Patriot Missle defense..per K Harris speech today

    But now this is all about avoiding WW3 ...and Ukrainians suffer sigh

    OTOH we can avoid Nuclear war as long as US General Millie has a back channel phone to the Russian Generals ( who Putin is most afraid of deposing him) to calm things down

    He has experience in doing this after Putins buddy fraudster Trump was screaming at attacking China and Millie spoke with Chinese military counterpart

    Good ne ws: The world economic upheaval is worrying China..Putin is really destroying things for economic giant China..I am positive the Chinese are not happy with dance partner like VP

    I have said it before ...right now Putin needs China badly..Chi knows Russia just holds their jockstrap and could pressure him to stand down

    How are anti aircraft weapons getting in if the enemy controls the skies?

    I’m thinking the Ukrainians ought to be looking at cutting the best deal they can right now. The leverage isn’t going to get better.
