Le duke Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 1) Your source is an account called TrumpsCards.2) The leak was done by Russia. You’re amplifying whatever perspective Russia is trying to put out here. Congrats, Comrade.3) What exactly do you think indicates that the US is responsible for Russia invading Ukraine. I’ll make it easy, as this happened in 2014 and it was news AFTER Russia invaded…in 2014. Here’s a link to the transcript. Quote anything that you think indicates the US had anything to do with it. I’ve read it, and I’m not sure what you think is “there”.https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-26079957.ampSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Husker_Du Posted July 16, 2023 Author Share Posted July 16, 2023 let's be clear - i know you lean left and you know i lean right. i DID NOT say the US did. i asked a question. stop reading in to me. ok, with the genetic fallacy out of the way, let's get to the substance... did you watch the video? who cares what account tweeted it. if you actually took the time to watch the video it's the logical conclusion the US was playing the game. she literally said 'eff the EU', which to me, is telling. 1 TBD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multiple times, in fact. First time, a long time ago.She said “Eff the EU” because they weren’t doing a damn thing. No sanctions, no military aid, nothing. What do you think she meant? The US has a vested interest in…US interests. As well as the mutual interests of other countries in the area, such as Poland, which not only hosts quite a few US troops but also shares a border with both Russia and Belarus.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WrestlingRasta Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 (edited) I’ve found it interesting that the MAGA narrative on Ukraine has shifted over the last few months from: ‘Putin would have never invaded Ukraine if Trump were President’ to ‘the US initiated and is driving the war against Russia and has us on the brink of WW3’. It’s very telling. “How do we have the patience for people who claim to love America, but truly can’t stand Americans?” ~Sydney Ellen Wade Edited July 17, 2023 by WrestlingRasta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s very telling. both can be true. those comments were not during trump admin and 2014's annexation was under the Obama. in other words, RUS has been poking at Ukraine for ten years except...oh, when trump was in office. so, really, your assertion really doesn't hold up TBD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le duke Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 It's actually pretty concerning how many times ol' Doug MacGregor has been featured on pro-Russian media, either in writing or actively participating. I have to wonder if he's a registered foreign agent. https://www.rt.com/news/574936-macgregor-ukraine-war-chances/ https://www.rt.com/russia/560893-former-pentagon-adviser-russian-offensive/ https://www.polygraph.info/a/fact-check-how-russia-uses-retired-us-colonel-s-ukraine-misinformation-for-domestic-propaganda-/6972765.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
