One of the highlights of my morning is watching the previous night’s late show. I just wish it were longer. I don’t always care for the interviews. This show is the only way I can stomach news. Gotta take it with a veil of comedy to stand it. This world is crazy.

[@DmDrae]

As entertaining as it is, and with Russia usually more or less accurate, please understand you aren’t getting news. You’re getting opinion pieces. The news is Russia invades Ukraine and 141 other countries are critical. The opinion is Vladimir Putin should be afraid of tshirt guns. His military may be inept, but they’re wildly equipped and manned even if possibly demoralized and have almost entirely encircled Kyiv. If they can get their southwestern flank mobilized, and they might, Kyiv’s in trouble - and honestly, that’s what will probably happen when you compare resources manpower and operational capability. It’s Syria/Libya all over again, proxy wars for territory, and we can’t commit our resources openly the way Russia can. Stay strong, friend. There’s a reason we do it this way, and I suspect it’s because the alternative is far more deadly and dangerous. It’s the second furthest thing from perfect, and maybe one day someone smarter than us will identify the real solution for world peace & prosperity. Until then, we have to do our best to keep our own national principals of freedom in our own hands, ensure our government is held accountable to us, and get back to leading by example for the first time in 80 years. It starts at home. Be brave. Face your day filled with that anxiety so many of us feel and fight it with fierce bravery, every second minute hour of every day. We are the power, not because someone lets us be, but because we make it so. Our ability to determine our own destiny is what separates us from our ancestors. Actualize. Unbridled motivation is terrifying. Be brave. ❤️

When are Americans going to be so inspired to fight against Republicans the way that Ukraine fight against Russia? Do Americans understand that Republicans (not Russians) attacked the US Congress to overthrow the government and abolish the US Constitution? Everyone cheers when someone throws a Molotov cocktail at a Russian truck convoy but say that violence isn't the answer to a Republican truck convoy. Make up your minds, people. Republicans have sided with Russia. Republicans are at war against the US and our Allies.

[@sylvie3097]

In the last eight years, NATO has led an unprovoked expansion eastward and killed thousands of Russian soldiers in Donbas. Of course, western media will never mention that. The only way to end the war is if Biden doesn’t agree for Ukraine to join NATO. But why won’t he say it? That’s because the U.S. wants to sanction Russia but there is no excuse, so they let Russia and Ukraine fight. Then the U.S. and NATO will have a reason to justify the sanctions against Russia, and afterwards run off with the Russians’ properties. That plan backfired, however. Those countries themselves are now dealing with serious inflation. People are even going to the streets to protest the sanctions. The overwhelming worldwide support for Ukraine is understandable, but why didn’t Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya, and many more countries receive the same recognition and sympathy when they were illegally invaded by 🇺🇸 and its allies(including Ukraine)? Millions of innocent children were killed, families torn apart, their homes destroyed. Is it because they’re deemed uncivilized? Or is it simply racism? We all live on the same planet, everyone deserves to be treated equally. Besides, A true civilized nation doesn’t randomly bomb other countries. Russia’s intention is not war, It is to defend their rights and interests to protect their own people. Ukraine is currently run by Nazis who are aiming to steer the country toward capitalism and western propaganda; Putin is only trying to save it. Nevertheless, Ukrainians are brainwashed by their president/U.S. puppet Zelenskyy and think democracy is actually real. Sadly, most of the world is dominated by the U.S. And now, they’ve led everyone to believe Putin is bad when it’s themselves who started it all. If it weren’t for Russia and China, the whole world would have become the USA’s lapdogs. Fortunately, there are still many smart people that are willing to take time to learn about the situation. Most, however, continue to trust the lies of mainstream media because it’s the only thing they’ve ever known. Russia will defeat USA and NATO.

[@azarinevil]

Because he wasn't hard on Russia at all. Trump tried to undermine NATO, Russia liked that. Trump bought whatever Russian spies and propaganda were selling him, Putin liked that. Trump threw out a decades long moratorium agreement between Russia and the US regarding nuclear stockpiles allowing Putin to amass new nukes, Putin loved that. Trump refused to respect the emoluments clause, which prevents Presidential bribery by foreign powers through their personal businesses, Putin, Xi, and bin Salman all loved that and took advantage of Trump hotels and resorts.
