Hey, I’d feel better about anybody making an effort to reduce their fossil emissions.

Don’t know what that has to do with the war, though.

I don't know how you equate Climate Change with war either, so it's odd to me.

I like the post that says Obama was so impressive he overthrew the Ukraine government without firing a single bullet or anyone even knowing about it, forcing Russia to invade and destroy Ukraine and its people. Makes perfect sense.

I think it's worth pointing out, when douchebags like Tucker Carlson go over to Russia and drool over their beautiful subway station and grocery stores, that Russia is a shithole country where they arrest or kill you if you say or do things the government doesn't like, such as going to somebody's funeral or daring to criticize the leadership.

This is breaking news. I hadn't heard that Russia is going to kill all these people that were arrested for protesting or going to the funeral?

I disagree with them for arresting these people. It's not good.

But I thought he was a traitor so it's ok? Shouldn't they all be killed?

I never said it was ok, and I don't think anyone should be killed for this.

NATO Moving Missiles Closer to Russia's Borders
https://www.newsweek.com/nato-moving-mi ... rs-1877490
Several European countries have raised concerns that Russia's war against Ukraine could eventually lead to a greater conflict between Moscow and NATO. The military alliance has taken several steps to bolster its defense systems along its eastern border in recent months, including by conducting trainings in the spring for over 90,000 troops from all 32 of the member states in countries that share a border with Russia, such as the Baltic nations and Poland.

Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia have been some of the loudest members of NATO that have urged the Western bloc to prepare for Russia's next offensive in the region. Estonia's Foreign Intelligence Service, for example, has said that Russia is preparing for war against NATO countries within the next 10 years.

Hungarian leader says Trump will end the war in Ukraine by not giving ‘a penny’
https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/11/europe/o ... gfooterold
Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has said Donald Trump would effectively end the war in Ukraine by cutting off funding to Kyiv, should the former US president return to power in November.

“He (Trump) has a very clear vision,” Orbán said in an interview to Hungarian broadcaster M1 broadcast on Sunday. “He says the following: first, he will not give a single penny for the Russo-Ukrainian war. That’s why the war will end, because it’s obvious that Ukraine cannot stand on its own two feet.”

Trump won't give money to Ukraine if elected, says Hungary's Orban
https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/tr ... 024-03-11/
Orban traveled to the United States last week, where he spoke at the conservative Heritage Foundation and later met with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, while forgoing any meetings with the White House during the trip.

What do you mean stand on your own two feet Trump or Orban? How would Hungary fare against Russia’s military on its own two feet?

This is interesting. I personally think they should just put the Ukraine aid package to a vote.
