Ha ha! Putin recognizes he has no victory to celebrate.

(CNN)Vladimir Putin "has recognized he has no victory to celebrate," US Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield told CNN in response to the lack of a major escalatory announcement in the Russian President's "Victory Day" speech Monday.

But the Russian leader also gave no indication that he plans to end the war in Ukraine, she cautioned.
In the first reaction from a Biden administration official to Putin's speech, Thomas-Greenfield noted to CNN that Putin did not use his remarks to announce a withdrawal from Ukraine -- which would have been welcomed by the United States -- which signals that Putin's war will continue.

Source: CNN

(CNN)About 60 people are feared dead after a Russian aircraft dropped a bomb on a school in Luhansk, eastern Ukraine, where civilians were sheltering on Saturday afternoon, a Ukrainian official said.

Serhiy Hayday, head of the Luhansk regional military administration, said the school building was destroyed.
"The explosion happened inside the building. Rescuers (are) dismantling the debris as quickly as possible. The chances of finding (anyone still) alive are very small. There were 90 people inside the school building; 27 survived, 60 people most likely died," Hayday said.

Biden announces $150 million security package to Ukraine

Source: CNN.com US

President Joe Biden on Friday announced additional security assistance to Ukraine in the form of "additional artillery munitions, radars, and other equipment."

The latest package is for $150 million worth of equipment including 25,000 155mm artillery rounds, counter-artillery radars, jamming equipment and field equipment and spare parts, a White House official said.
The new security assistance package follows the President's $33 billion proposal last week to Congress to support Ukraine amid Russia's invasion. The US has made it clear it intends to provide long-term support to Ukraine and has already provided the nation with billions of dollars in military and humanitarian assistance. The proposed package last week was more than twice as much as the $13.6 billion infusion of military and humanitarian aid that Congress approved last month.

In a statement, Biden said the administration has nearly exhausted funding that can be used for security assurance and called on Congress to approve his request for additional money for Ukraine.

If SCOTUS does this to RvW...

at first I was thinking it would energize the rightwing religious nuts (which is a card the GOP ALWAYS plays in important elections).

Now I'm beginning to think it would be a huge mistake for the right: because the young people are going to get involved in the mid-terms. Ouch, that's gonna hurt GOPutin.

Maybe that's why they did this rare advanced look into what SCOTUS is going to vote on: to see if it will benefit or hurt the GOP. I'm probably giving too much credit to the RWNJs, for thinking ahead.

Russians plunder $5M farm vehicles from Ukraine -- to find they've been remotely disabled

Source: CNN

(CNN) Russian troops in the occupied city of Melitopol have stolen all the equipment from a farm equipment dealership -- and shipped it to Chechnya, according to a Ukrainian businessman in the area.

But after a journey of more than 700 miles, the thieves were unable to use any of the equipment -- because it had been locked remotely.

Over the past few weeks there's been a growing number of reports of Russian troops stealing farm equipment, grain and even building materials - beyond widespread looting of residences. But the removal of valuable agricultural equipment from a John Deere dealership in Melitopol speaks to an increasingly organized operation, one that even uses Russian military transport as part of the heist.

I hope beyond all, that on November 9, 2022...elon musk

will be looking for Twitter’s refund policy.

April 26, 2022

I think the reason they "don't recall" or try to change the subject or just deny it was a coup...

is that they want to try it again.

This country of ours is dependent on the Dems winning mid-terms.
Watch daily, as new forms of stealing our government arise.
Today: musk buying Twitter, and DeSantis setting up police to stop "vote stealing."

It's going to continue this way until November.
Plus, one thing they need is for putin to succeed in Ukraine.

I now step down from the amateur soap box.

The GOP and tfg need Russian money again...especially for the mid terms.

The only way to get Russian money is to stop the sanctions.
But first they have to sway public opinion away from thinking the vicious attack putin made on an innocent country, is all a lie.

Step one: musk buys Twitter

April 25, 2022

It sounds like the GOP is going to have Twitter on its side for the mid-terms.

Twitter is back in discussion about selling to the spoiled child, musk.
Once that trump ass kisser owns Twitter, it will turn into a right wing garbage bin.

Our internet has been down at least 24 hours. Los Angeles.

Through Spectrum. They said it would be back up by 1:30PM. It’s now after 5PM and they gave up on guessing when it would be back up

I also heard a lot of California Verizon customers are experiencing outages.

Being that its 4/20, and Putin’s bday, I mean trumps bday, I mean hitlers bday, maybe it was some kind of attack.

Edit: now they are saying 7:30. Taking bets.
