@ to Hydracubus.
Of course living safe on the other side of the globe you can talk big.
America helped Afghanistan too and then pulled out practically over night and left Afghan women in the hands of the Taliban again.
Like I said America USED Ukraine for its own agenda. And it cost Ukraine 400,000 soldiers.
And I m sorry they died in a war America from the get go knew Ukraine could not win.
I never said Putin was not corrupt or a saint but their economy is thriving. And it will leave America and Europe ( including my country ) in the dust.
America is nosediving and when the castle of cards falls, American will think the 1929 Depression was a joke.
So I suggest you start worrying for your countrymen and women, dire times are ahead.
@ to Hydraculus.
With the 61 billion on the way , America will have spent some 165 billion dollars on a war that should never have been fought. That money could have been used to help Americans in difficulty.
Putin never had intentions to take Ukraine and then go for Europe. He never wanted to rebuild the Soviet Union. That was the lie America spread to start this war.
Putin simply didn’t want NATO bases at its doorstep just like America didn’t want Russian military bases in Cuba.
Biden and his ilk USED Ukraine and don’t care a hoot the Ukraine army is dead and buried. Biden is now just dragging the war on cause in 6 months there are the elections.
Zelensky should have kept Ukraine neutral , a bridge between the West and Russia
…if he continues on this destructive path more Ukraine territory will be lost.
And I shudder at the destruction ahead if Europe sends troops. The European people , me included, don’t won’t a war leaders like Macron and that idiot Cameron are instigating.
A percentage of the weapons America sent to Ukraine were sold on the black market to criminals and terrorists.
Ukraine will never qualify to become a member of the EU ( if it survives) because it’s so corrupt.
Ukraine ‘s rich soil is contaminated , its precious grain has traces of arsenic and mercury.
Zelensky ‘s mandate is over.. in a democratic country there would be elections but he knows he would lose so no elections.
Zelensky’s time is up , I think he is a dead man walking and his own people will dispose of him.
@ to OnanTheBarbarian.
I totally agree.
In 1962 Russia tried to install missile in Cuba and America was having none of that .. fair enough.
Already in 2008 the Russian foreign minister said Ukraine had to remain neutral for obvious reasons but America just ignored the warning.
Biden was already using his influence as vice president under Obama , to guarantee contracts in America to the Ukraine oligarchs for hefty pay-offs.
These $ 61billion will buy Biden time but Zelensky now needs an army and wants Europe to send troops.
Cameron saying Ukraine has a right to attack Russian soil and Macron threatening to send troops for the last two months is just fuelling an already incandescent situation. Putin is fed up.
People need to understand that Biden always knew Ukraine would not win the war against Russia.
Biden’s plan was to used Ukraine to weaken Russia’s military and economy, hoping the Russians would actually outs Putin eventually.
Well the plan obviously backfired. The sanctions against Russia instead destroyed Europe’s economy while Russia’s economy now is thriving and so is the new currency Brics.
Russia found new profitable deals with other nations and the next Brics summit is in Kazan this coming October.
America instead has a $34 trillion debt and yet it sends more billions to Ukraine for a war already lost last September. ( Part of that money as you mentioned will be used to keep hospitals and offices going , pay wages and government pensions)
In the meantime, America’s economy has nosedived and George Soros’ open society vision is not helping; since Biden took office the borders were left open and 7.2 million illegal have entered.
Biden and his ilk have done a huge disservice provoking a war against Russia
When will this nightmare and this madness end , I ask
By Hydracubus:
Serious question, how much money does the Kremlin pay people to post like this?
…..
@No one paid me and I’m 100% with OnanTheBarbarian.
When Zelensky went to power in May 2019, Ukraine was the second most corrupt country in Europe.
When the war began in Feb 2022 the corruption was still thriving .
Why? because Zelensky was and is still part of it.
The Spring and Summer counterattacks in 2023 were disasters and by September 2023 the war was over.
The senate said : No more funds to Ukraine at the end of September cause the war was lost.
But now with the election in 6 month, Biden somehow got the Senate to approve a 61billion aid package for Ukraine.
Biden wants the war to drag on cause he fears he will lose the election if he declares defeat now.
So more billion of dollars and lives will be wasted.
Zelensky instead prefers to lie and say they can still win if they get money and arms. He will do anything to stay in power even sacrifice his people and country.
Of course there would be the issue of : where is he going to get the troops?
Less than two months ago on our national tv channel Zelensky had the guts to say that only 31.000 Ukraine soldiers had died since the start of the war.
Zelensky doesn’t even show respect to the 400,000 Ukraine soldier actually killed. And he doesn’t care to send soldier to died for a war already lost since September 2023.
If he really cared about Ukraine , he would acknowledge the defeat and sit down and listen to Putins demand.
Putin wants a neutral zone between the West and Russia. He doesn’t want all of Ukraine.
This month there should be elections in Ukraine but Zelensky has said no cause he knows he won’t win.
He is a liar and is corrupt and his mandate is coming to an end .. wouldn’t be surprised if someone close to him turns on him.

But I think they destroyed those machines with some kind of laser beams, the worms did not show up in those attack scenes.
@.I confess the battle scenes right now are somewhat of a muddle in my head..I would need to watch the films a second time.
I do remember after an exchange of fire in part two , a thumper ( found the correct word) was placed right next to a pile of dead soldiers. A worm emerged with its mouth open and swallowed them up.
So I do believe a worm would attack any target the Fremen want as long as said target is pinpointed by a thumper.
@ to fc31
Sometimes when I binge-watch I miss details but not in this case seeing you too are wondering how the carriage was transported onto the worm's back..also I don't see Paul's pregnant mother making the jump either.
Q. Then why even bother to attack those giant spice collecting machines, why not just call the worms to attack those machines
@.Maybe they wanted to insert that device that attracts the worms as close as possible to the target/the harvesting vehicle. To accomplish that, they had to attack and close in.
Thanks PersistentViewer for taking the time to reply.😐
Yes it’s all about the journey but after 10 long years I do think the public earned the right to know who Reddington really was.
It’s obvious the writers didn’t have a plausible answer to give. Or worse, they never had intention to reply.
They cheated and fooled viewers.
Anyways, James Spader is a fine actor .. I binge watched the 8 season of the Practice about 4 years ago and then moved onto Boston Legal.
Maybe you can fill me in ?
I binge watched the first 4 seasons and watch 5 and 6 on TV .
Then gave up.
Got tired waiting to know who Reddington really was .
James Spader as Reddington was brilliant but I personally think the writers should have wrapped up much earlier.
I read that Elizabeth died without knowing who Reddington was.. that sucked.
Does Reddington’s true identity ever get explained?
I googled : Reddington’s death scene. Reddington is killed by a bull? Was he walking in that paddock intentionally, did he have a death wish?
Was Ressler looking for Reddington to arrest him ?
I recognise the Gypsy Kings in the back ground

**Medical examiners and independent experts testified in the Chauvin trial that while Floyd suffered from heart disease and hypertension, and toxicology tests showed recent use of the two drugs, none of these was the cause of Floyd’s death on May 25, 2020. Medical examiners ruled the death a homicide because law enforcement officers compressed Floyd against the road in a way that starved his body of oxygen, known as asphyxia, leading to cardiopulmonary arrest."**
@ Had Floyd been healthy he would not have died when Chauvin pinned him forcefully down with his knee. He might have found it hard to breathe but he would not have died.
The weak heart , the ipertension and recent use of drugs in his system , these three factors contributed to his death when Chauvin pinned him down ..
That said:
The dude was face down ,handcuffed , had two other policemen keeping his lower part of his body down , Chauvin was in no danger… he should have eased his knee lock when he heard Floyd pleading and saying he couldn’t breathe.

Beth was boinking Rip, and maybe a couple others in the bunkhouse, just a couple years after her mother dies
As happens she got pregnant
She asked Jaime for help
HE took her to a reservation health clinic where he was told they could do the abortion but would also do a hysterectomy, HE said OK and took Beth inside.
@. Beth was desperate to get an abortion and Jamie being a teen didn’t understand the severity of a hysterectomy.
Jamie regrets what he did but Beth has no intention to stop abusing Jamie physically and mentally.
Beth made the wrong choices and puts all the blame on Jamie.
Beth was no ran away teen with no money, she should have gone to Rip , instead she opted to lie and say she had made a mistake and she wasn’t pregnant.
Or
She could have gone to her father… but she didn’t like that option because she wouldn’t be daddy’s girl anymore.
I don’t feel sorry for her , she got rid of hers and Rip ‘s baby and it was a choice she alone made.
