Putin is a thug and a tyrant who must not be allowed to succeed in Ukraine. If he does, I am confident he will go into Moldova and other former Soviet satellite countries. It is important that we speak with one voice that the United States and our allies around the world continue to oppose Russia, and provide Ukraine with the support that they need, militarily and financially to win this war.

You're wrong, Rep. Lawler. Russia doesn't need more territory. The very idea is infantile. The US has been wrangling for control of Ukraine since 1945, and seriously since 1991. There were TWO coups - one by stolen election and the other outright violent seizure of power. US spent $5 billion on creating a communications infrastructure in Ukraine that fueled the uprising and infected the population with hyper-nationalism and outright fascism, targeting Russia specifically. The policy is intended to try to take down the Russian state. I don't care what those briefing you say is possible, this policy risks global war, including nuclear war, and it is not necessary. If you can't look at the map and realize that the fact the war is being fought on Russia's border means we are the aggressor then you really need to do a complete re-evaluation of your role in this.

I ask that you at least have a community meeting on the issue - sooner rather then later - to get a sense of the people before we are fully committed to war with Russia. I ask that you do NOT substitute your own judgment for that of your constituents on this before consulting with a broad section of us. And I would appreciate some of your time to discuss this further.

I tried to do this with Nita Lowey before Bush blew up Iraq https://youtu.be/uiRgr46ROMg

Unlike Iraq, Russia can shoot back. And given their experience of the 1990s, the people of Russia will not allow their government any other course of action. Believe me on this. It's true.

"Ukraine grain" is actually owned by US/EU corporate giants

"Forced collectivization" - Vanguard style Here, Vanguard, et al are doing for real what Stalin and the USSR were accused of doing. Except it is all of Ukraine that is being "liquidated" - physically, and before the eyes of the world. When people talk about "Ukrainian grain" they're actually talking about grain that is now owned by US and EU mega-corporations such as Vanguard Group, Kopernik Global Investors, BNP Asset Management Holding, Goldman Sachs-owned NN Investment Partners Holdings, and Norges Bank Investment Management, which manages Norway’s sovereign wealth fund. Several large US pension funds, foundations, and university endowments are also invested in Ukrainian land through NCH Capital – a US-based private equity fund, which is the fifth largest landholder in the country. How is the takeover of agricultural land happening? Whereas at least 4.3 million hectares are (as of March of last year) already controlled by agribusinesses in Ukraine,

The ACTUAL Coup on January 6, 2021

Was the January 6 Capitol Breach used as cover for an actual coup? Trump's criticism of Pence's “failure” has deeper context FEBRUARY 5, 2022 - This past week, former US President Donald Trump again criticized former Vice President Mike Pence for Pence's handling of the disputed 2020 presidential election. Trump said that Pence failed in his duty as the President of the Senate at the January 6, 2021 Joint Session of Congress to ensure the integrity of the election when there were “obvious signs of voter fraud or irregularities.” Recently, Pence criticized Trump's earlier complaints about his handling of the January 6, 2021 Joint Session of Congress, which, as a part of the regular legal process of validating Presidential elections, was convened to certify the legitimacy of the Electoral College votes of the various states. Trump accused Pence of having acted as “an automatic conveyor belt for the 'Old Crow' Mitch McConnell to get Biden elected President as
