Dateline June 29, 2020 NPR "KING: Let me start by having you explain this bounty program and what Russia was trying to do exactly in Afghanistan. NAKASHIMA: Well, according to intelligence reports that our sources were briefed on, Russian - the Russian military spy agency the GRU was offering bounties to Taliban-linked militants in Afghanistan to kill coalition troops. The reason is not clear. There is speculation it might have to do with wanting to disrupt some of the sporadic efforts at peace talks between the Americans and the Taliban or that it might have been some form of revenge for efforts by American troops to kill Russian mercenaries in Syria in early 2018, after they attacked a U.S. base in eastern Syria. It's not clear how high up the bounties were authorized, whether Russian President Vladimir Putin himself was aware. But what is clear, Noel, is that for roughly the last decade, the GRU has been emboldened to carry out a series of evermore brazen attacks to destabilize and divide its opponents in the West, including the United States." So its OK for Putin to kill US troops but for trump and his assh**e kissing lapdogs. Its all forgive and forget. Because after all if Americans got killed in Afghanistan they are "Losers and suckers".so no biggie.

So both trump and Musk have suggested that Ukraine cave to Putin's criminal war of aggression. That they should cede territory in order to appease the dictator. That forgetting the war crimes. Cities destroyed. Would all be worth it to appease Chamberlain, er..Hitler.., er Putin. Musk, a brilliant engineer. Missed history in elementary school. He went on this week to suggest that Taiwan should just accept Chinese rule. "Musk said his recommendation “would be to figure out a special administrative zone for Taiwan that is reasonably palatable.” trump said: Oh who cares what he said its bound to be stupid. It was sure to make Putin smile. Selling out democracies to appease communist dictators and kleptocracy gangster states. I guess after the twitter debacle. Musk should be expected to make dumb ill thought out decisions. He needs to stick to engineering.

Perhaps its different in Volgograd?

Re:"Trump draws tens of thousands. Democrats, Republicans and Independents have no trouble seeing that!!!! " trump and his supporters use box after box of sharpies until it looks like that number. To the myopic and ignorant.

Riggerrob probably knows. But I think there was a scandal a decade or so ago. I think they gave two the boot that had Nazi sympathies. Could have been right wing sympathies.

The same one that allowed them to achieve air superiority over Ukraine on day one. Russian puppets, like republican ones avoid details. Details confuse simple minds. In other news. An intercepted phone call from Ukraine revealed that 60 new conscripts from the latest call up. All went awol on the first night of service. Morning came on the Russian lines and they had completely disappeared. There was no word if any tanks, APCs, or heavy weapons vanished as well. To date Russia has supplied more tanks, artillery and armored vehicles to Ukraine. Than all of its western and NATO allies put together. Putin has called for a GRU investigation into the vanishing troop problem. He has indicated that Ukrainian terrorists had developed some sort of "Star Trek" transporter device. In clear violation of the rules of war.

Truss and the the UK conservatives. "Earlier this year a Conservative MP resigned after admitting to watching porn in Parliament, and another unnamed Tory MP was arrested over allegations of rape and sexual assault. In April, Conservative MP Imran Ahmad Khan resigned his seat after being convicted of sexually assaulting a teenage boy in 2008, and the opposition Labour Party won the subsequent by-election in Wakefield." Now Liz has fired a Knight to be in her own cabinet for bad conduct at a bar. Its starting to look as if Liz runs the gang that can't shoot straight.

You forgot to ad that its being built in New York state. A state that republicans love to hate because of "high taxes". Texas threw billions in incentives at micron 'We're disappointed' | Micron chooses Central New York over Central Texas for $100B investment The tech manufacturing company reportedly turned down billions of dollars in tax breaks and other incentives in Lockhart." Other reports have it that abortion and the republican governor were factors in the decision. From Micron ""The pursuit of an inclusive, diverse and equitable culture is a necessity for every high-achieving company. To us, it’s more than good business – it’s personal. Being inclusive is in Micron’s DNA and core to our vision and values. We want to hear all voices, all ideas and all perspectives. Everyone deserves to be heard, seen and valued no matter who they are or where they work."

Believe it or not. There are likely hundreds of forums in the US and likely elsewhere. Where the regurgitation of Tucker turds is non stop. All the B.S. is debated by mom and pop christian trump followers as if its all gospel. On occasion one should look at cancer, a hemorrhoid, etc. Just to see how the other side lives. As such I agree with Ken(above).

and he had his birthday ruined. Damn Ukrainian party poopers.

Russian deserters returning with war trophies?

Elon Musk self driving truck.With the self detonating option for Ukrainian customers.

Russia, AKA Slim Troll has already stated that it was a truck bomb. Thats no truck bomb. Thats underwater demolition on two separate supporting piers. Slim will be along shortly to suggest that underwater saboteurs of such skill. Must have been the same ones to bomb the Nord pipelines.

The bridge has dual traffic lanes in both directions. So one side is destroyed. It also has dual train tracks on a separate bridge section. I'd say train traffic is done. Meanwhile the Ukrainian post office has already come out with a commemorative stamp.Perhaps Royal mail. Canada Post and USPS should pay the Ukrainian postal system. Consultation fees on how to speed up things.

"Ukrainian Azovs have killed about 15,0000 of their fellow countrymen over the last 8 years." Thanks to SC software i don't have to waste my time looking at Troll droppings like that. The defense of the steel mill by the Azov battalion was heralded in Ukraine as heroic. Zelenskyy stated that getting the return of his "brave warriors" from POW status was a priority. Yet trolling Russian propaganda is rewarded by some young fish that rise to the bait. In other news hurrah to Ukrainian SEALs who finally got around to the Kerch bridge. "Part of the crossing, the sole bridge linking the Crimean Peninsula with Russia, collapsed into the sea." A train on the bridge is burning and since its likely carrying ammunition. Its looking even better. What a great happy 70th birthday present for Slim's buddy Putin.

His instructions have not covered those subtle geopolitical concepts because nobody has ever asked them before. Either in Russian Pro-Putin MSM, FOX viewers or the right wing forums. Where trump is secretly applauded for his thinking that when you have power or privilege. That 'I Could ... Shoot Somebody, And I Wouldn't Lose Any Voters'

Well there is that. Presumably the areas of the four Ukrainian oblasts have areas where their exists pro Russian supporters. Areas to which locals have volunteered, been drafted and been forced to fight against the Ukrainian army. So there is the possibility that Ukrainian regulars and perhaps the Azov regiment. Would act irregularly to punish, rape, etc. those locals for their lack of loyalty. For their support of Russia. Having said that there have been no credible reports of any such conduct. There has been reports that Ukrainian agents acted to attempt to assassinate Aleksandr Dugin, They failed and instead killed his daughter. This all falls into the area of discipline. Russians seem to lack it.

I think his point is "poorly-disciplined soldiers". While Ukrainians seem to have very good discipline. Including the members of the Azov regiment.who have no record of such conduct. Russians seem to almost have those traits as a part of their training.Seem to act as if license or orders to those effects were given. Worse IMO is the use of artillery on cities, airstrikes on civilians, missile attacks on civilians.

I hate the Saudi monarchy but I hate sending $100 a week into the air out the exhaust of my truck even more.

Solar has its place and so does fossil fuels until solar replaces it. You had to check that jump planes ran on gas and fuel?

How do you know that he is not defective FSB software, GRU software? In which case he would not be a moron. IMO we should send his picture and ISP address to the Lithuanian elves. to ascertain if he is a person and how long he has been on Putin's payroll.

Might be a good time to cut off spare parts and support for the MBS military. Putin and the prince: fears in west as Russia and Saudi Arabia deepen ties A worthwhile short read.

Keep in mind its a political ad. I don't mean that all republicans are dangerous.I think their messaging and leadership is dangerous. My take on the ad is that its a folksy political advertisement. But for some people the biker image may be a turn off.Just as union members for republicans is a turn off. The ad covers gas prices, food prices, covid response, killing babies, etc. Gas and food prices obviously beyond her control. "Killing babies", now you can't necessary judge a book by its cover. But I doubt this group are evangelical bible thumpers. So is that a reference to "Q"? Bikers are "pro life"? I guess they could be a local church chapter club!

Keep one fact in mind. The voters who see this who HATE Gretchen Whitmer identify with this conversation "bikers" aside. Kidnap plot for those who have forgotten::Remaining Defendants Convicted In Conspiracy To Kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer

Face it, they know their target audience.
