Funny because this is true of too many Americans. Just oblivious to the fact the media isn't honest.
Democrats sabotaged the mineral rights deal

Now that’s what I’m talking about. That’s what I was saying but you worded it better than me.
Europe will probably turn it into a bigger conflagration. Who is running Germany? England has a guy with less than a year of experience. And is France. They know how to surrender. Amateurs.
Let me know when you read what’s in the peace deal for Putin.
The post that started this thread is a lie.
This is what I said to the original post, page 1:
“Would hate to believe this is true. Don’t get what there would be to gain”.
Interpret it any way you want.
Saying the tweet in the OP is doubtful…there is nothing to gain.
Was it a lie??? ….I don’t know, neither do you unless you were there.
There are photos and video of the meeting. It was bi partisan.
NATO continued to cross the boundary they agreed to with Russia. America would react the same way. That's how the war actually started.
They can posture all they want. But with out the US they are not a true opposition. We are leveraging our power for our tax paying citizens now. Instead of for specific people' pockets like the last three years.
And let’s not forget the US was very much involved in overthrowing the govt in Ukraine during the Clinton years. To say Russia started this war is a gross oversimplification. Regardless, it seems Zelensky is hell bent on getting NATO involved. Trump squashed NATO membership as an option but Zelensky getting Europe involved will put the US in a tough spot if Europe gets drawn into an outright war, which appears to be Zalensky’s end goal of “guaranteed security.”
And how is that working? And please explain where the unaccounted for $100 billion dollars that Zelenskyy can’t account for has disappeared to?
Since 2022, Congress has authorized over $175 million dollars in aid to Ukraine. In Zelenskyy’s own words, he says he has received $75 billion in aid, and says he has “no idea” where the $100 billion is that the U.S. supposedly appropriated and provided. So where did this money go? Why is it unaccounted for? Either Zelenskyy is lying, or someone from your wonderful Biden Admin has some serious explaining to do. Another slush fund?

No, Zelenskyy didn’t reveal Ukraine money laundering plot

No doubt in my mind that Zelensky felt that he could sway the American public and get enough politicians to force a security pact. It backfired most likely because he's dealing with Trump. A lot of money was funneled through Ukraine, ultimately Europe. I believe that this deal is so crooked that we'd be blown away by those involved.Traitors
Disaster in the Oval Office: Dems lead Zelensky, Ukraine off a cliff with pressure to reject mineral deal
Before meeting Trump, Zelensky met with anti-Trump Democrats who advised him to reject the terms of the mineral deal the president was offering, according to Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn).nypost.com
Clickbaiting news? Look at what you just sent …lol…you might want to take a look in the mirror as well as take a look at Zelenskyy’s direct quotes on the matter ..but what you just sent does nothing but make my point…thank you!Waiting on evidence of your claim?

Your admitting your Biden Admins has $100 billion missing? Or they were sitting on this money appropriated by Congress. That needs some real explaining..either they are trying to drag out the war that you Dems so love now, by slow playing and not supplying Ukraine the billions of dollars appropriated, or Zelenskyy is lying about not receiving the aid, or the money is going elsewhere. Where is the money? Where they say it’s going had not been accounted for
You sure are quite on any ideas or solutions to end the war? A typical non response by all you Dems on here. ZERO solutions…you can’t answer? Waiting on ANYTHING
Funny how that 20% was only wanted by Ukraine as long as the ethnic Russians who lived there, and wanted independence, were wiped out.
CNN report on genocide in E. Ukraine
You would think some of these guys would apologize or remove the post when they post something so blatantly untrue. I guess goes along with the methodology of repeating lies so often that everyone starts to believe they are true.
Since believing anything beyond the cult, talking points is hard….
- Much of the money the U.S. has dedicated for Ukraine aid is spent in the U.S. on domestic weapons manufacturers and U.S. military and government operations.
- Direct military support to Ukraine totaled about $70 billion out of the $175 billion Congress has appropriated.
- The money isn’t being laundered, it’s being spent as Congress intended.
There is no missing money, no conspiracy theory. I know that doesn’t drive a lot of clicks and anger.
Money "laundering" should be viewed as a high bar, I think the implication that Democrat officials themselves are specifically profiting from Ukrainian aid is largely fiction (though I'm sure there are Washington middle men who are making out quite well, that's the nature of the beast.)
The larger problem, however, of corruption in Ukraine is real. This would include the selling of weapons systems, not even necessarily for personal profit - but for cash that can then be used to purchase other items that are viewed as more desired by those on the ground.
I don't view this as a uniquely Ukrainian problem - this always goes on in war, including during our revolution - but it is a real problem and one that can always be used as grounds to stop aid/apply pressure for regime change if desired.
I think the odds of a new Ukrainian president (likely the current Ambassador to the UK) rose significantly last week. If you lose Lindsey Graham...
That is truly one of the dumbest post I’ve ever seen on the Chat. Was that posted directly from RT or was it laundered through some proxy accounts?
How about the last 100 years?
Over the last 100 years, Russia (and before that, the Soviet Union) has pursued several expansionist efforts, using a mix of military force, political influence, and economic pressure. Here’s a general overview, decade by decade:
1920s–1940s:
• Soviet consolidation of territory: After the Russian Civil War (1917–1923), the USSR reabsorbed breakaway republics like Ukraine, Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan.
• Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact (1939): The USSR and Nazi Germany secretly agreed to divide Eastern Europe. The USSR invaded eastern Poland, the Baltic states (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania), and parts of Finland (Winter War, 1939–40).
• Annexations during WWII: The USSR expanded its territory by absorbing the Baltics, parts of Romania (like Bessarabia), and eastern Poland.
1950s–1980s (Cold War Era):
• Sphere of Influence: After WWII, the USSR didn’t directly annex more land but created satellite states across Eastern Europe (East Germany, Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia, etc.). While officially independent, these countries were under strict Soviet control.
• Military interventions: To maintain dominance, the USSR invaded:
• Hungary (1956)
• Czechoslovakia (1968)
• Afghanistan (1979): The USSR invaded Afghanistan to support a communist government, aiming to expand influence into South Asia.
1990s:
• After the Soviet Union’s collapse in 1991, Russia lost control over 14 former Soviet republics. However, it sought to maintain influence in its “near abroad” (the former Soviet states).
• Backed separatist movements in:
• Transnistria (Moldova)
• Abkhazia and South Ossetia (Georgia)
• Nagorno-Karabakh (Armenia/Azerbaijan conflict, with less direct control but influence).
2000s–Present (Putin Era):
• Second Chechen War (1999–2009): Crushed Chechen separatism and reasserted control.
• Georgia (2008): Invaded Georgia and recognized the breakaway regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia as independent, effectively removing them from Georgian control.
• Crimea (2014): Annexed Crimea from Ukraine following the Ukrainian Revolution. This was the first major European land grab since WWII.
• Donbas (2014–present): Supported separatists in eastern Ukraine (Donetsk and Luhansk).
• Full-scale invasion of Ukraine (2022): Russia attempted to overthrow the Ukrainian government and seize large parts of the country, citing historical claims and security concerns. Though the invasion stalled, Russia annexed four regions (Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk, and Luhansk) in 2022, though much of that territory is still contested.
Methods of Expansion:
• Direct military action (e.g., Ukraine, Georgia).
• Proxy wars and separatist support (e.g., Moldova’s Transnistria).
• Political and economic pressure to keep former Soviet states aligned with Russian interests.
• Cultural and historical narratives that frame territories like Ukraine and Belarus as part of the “Russian world.”
Summary:
In the last century, Russia’s expansionism has evolved from overt annexations (early Soviet period) to Cold War satellite control, and more recently to a hybrid strategy mixing military invasions, puppet states, and influence operations—especially targeting its immediate neighbors.
Do your research..not some bullet point politically biased opinion with a broad based statement with ZERO specifics “MUCH OF THE MONEY” 😂 show this? Where are your specifics showing this?
Billions unaccounted for that no one has shown where it’s being spent
Also, as I figured, you have given ZERO solutions on how to bring peace or end this war…cant answer?

If only people were clairvoyant enough to recognize dementia in a president. I guess if you believed he was ok. He was. 🤦♂️
It is funny. Trump was known as a liar. Somehow the last administration lied so much Trump now looks like a bastion of truth. lol. Only Biden and the Dems could manage to accomplish that.
You have ZERO solutions..just the typical everyday TDS attacks and disagreements which is to be expected..it’s all you have…still waiting on just one of you of you Dems on here to give even an opinion on how to end this war?
England and Germany sound like they ready to die…Box Putin in and watch what he does unless they can kill him before he goes ape shit on them
