I mean don't get me wrong, he's not a bad guy at all, I think we agree on most stuff overall, just not the "we should put all Republican voters against the wall" stuff might be a liiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiittle overboard.

Yeah, idk why to even bother with a wall.

This sort of seems like an admission that Ukraine's major allies might be losing faith in a long war, I think we can assume they were not happy about the results of the counter offensive and sceptical that much progress will be made from now on.

This is about protecting the local grain industry, not about any analysis of Ukraine’s military prospects.

It's almost as if they don't care or haven't put much thought into the human casualties. From top to bottom to Ukraine civilians to Russian conscripts. Do they even have a GI bill for the walking wounded?

My friend, they are giving out IOUs for fish bricks to the families of war dead. There is no soft landing for veterans back home.

So weird all the not proving anything proof of life videos. If Mr Hotdog wanted to prove he was alive he would have a video that said, "hi, I'm alive! I wasn't on that plane!"
