Actual (Not Paper) Patriots Ought To Be All In For Ukraine Bombing Russia's Diesel Plants

           'Thank you, Donald, for removing the oil sanctions but you must stop Zelensky bombing us'

Donald Trump is attempting to provide aid and comfort to a mortal enemy of the United States in defiance of the law as passed by Congress expressing the will of the American people. The Congress damn well better make him stop and do what they have directed him to do by law. If he refuses, they need to remove him from office.- WaPo comment

I don't know what dirt Valdimir Putin has on President Donald J Corruption but it must be horrible!!! Makes me grin ear to ear! 😁 And I like seeing Donald Trump upset while bowing down on his knees to Vladimir Putin! He is the worst President in my lifetime and I am 72 years old! WaPo comment

Leave it to DJT to try and put his “little fingers” on the scale to try and benefit Putin; The Only question is ? What does Putin have over D J T  I Stand with Ukraine - WaPo comment

Ukraine needs to knock out ALL of Russia's oil refining capacity. When the Russian economy goes down, the Russian military will collapse, then Putin will end up in a spider hole like Saddam and the vengeful Russian people will hunt him down. FSB archives will be opened up and Trump's treason will have nowhere to hide.- WaPo comment


Yesterday we learned, e.g.

 How Ukraine uses precision drone strikes to hobble Russian oil refineries - Washington Post

Kyiv has been targeting critical components of Russia’s oil industry that are hard to repair. The strikes have crippled Russia’s diesel production and aroused the ire of the American Traitor leader eager to make nice with Putin to buy his diesel to help stave off Americans hit in their pocketbooks. But making deals with Ukraine’s enemy (as well as Europe’s) is what a traitor does.

This was after the orange traitor stunned the world Friday announcing that the U.S. would immediately lift sanctions on Moscow and start buying Russian diesel. (All this after railing against American "communists".) Trump claimed Russia will immediately supply more than 300,000 tons of diesel to the American and global market, followed by an additional 500,000 tons in November and 1 million tons “immediately thereafter.” And: "Russia will deliver an additional 3 million tons within a short period of time”. 

But most energy experts believe this cynical, self -serving move won't make a dime's worth of difference in the short term - meaning to the end of the year. Apart from which we damned well know this move merely rewards Putin and funds his war. Yet the reactionary media (like the WSJ and FOX) still doesn't believe we have a Russian Asset occupying the Oval Office.

Besides, only a goddamned traitor would spout that Ukraine is responsible for driving up diesel and oil prices when the traitor himself launched the war against Iran that incited Iranians to shut down the Strait of Hormuz. Directly leading to the spike in oil, diesel as well as fertilizer prices not to mention the cost in lives.

Thus,  American allies abroad underscored their support for Zelensky to go ahead and keep bombing the Russkie diesel supplies – and ‘devil take the devils. (The U.S traitor and his bosom buddy Putin). The leaders of the European Union, France, Britain, Poland, Finland and Norway spoke by telephone with Zelensky over the weekend to emphasize their backing for him and for Ukraine in continuing its fight against Russia. Let Trump scream and threaten all he wants.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk wrote in a post on X following a call with Zelensky on Sunday.

“I am absolutely certain that nothing and no one will break Ukraine and its President in their fight against Russian aggression,”

You’ve got it because Zelensky and Ukraine are on the right side of this conflict, Trump and Putin in the wrong. So we need Ukraine to keep on bombing the Russian diesel distillation plants preferably crippling any U.S. chance of making much use of it. Most of us don’t want benefits wrought at the hands of American traitors- presidents or not - no matter what the $$ saved.

Responding to Trump’s call for his ouster, Zelensky said in an interview with ABC News on Sunday that it was up to the Ukrainian people to choose a leader but he ought to have added that the U.S. Congress should conduct a lawful ouster of Trump via the 25th amendment – or impeachment for his lawlessness and violations of the Constitution.

Thom Tillis (R, NC), meanwhile, said on the NBC’s  Meet the Press:

“I get it that he may be frustrated, but he needs to understand who the good guys are in this disagreement and who the bad guys are, and it’s not even close.”

Noting “that tens of thousands of people have died over this [Russia’s] illegal invasion.”

Let’s be clear here  that Trump’s waiver of Russian sanctions effectively aligns Washington with Moscow and against the bombing Kyiv has carried out against Russian energy infrastructure. Those targeted strikes have damaged Russia’s energy industry, wiping out one percent of the country’s gross domestic product.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer correctly accused Trump of “doing a deal with the devil” to “help his flailing political fortunes.”

The European Union’s foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas, slammed the deal as providing Moscow with “more revenues to wage war.”

Of course, Trump’s attacks on Zelensky were welcomed in Moscow, with Russian special envoy Kirill Dmitriev calling it “iconic and historic.”

Yeah, “iconic and historic” that an American President could surrender to a Russian dictator’s will- but of course that same dictator helped Trump get into office in 2016. As former MI6 spy Christopher Steele wrote in his recent book, Unredacted' :

"It is sometimes easy to forget that Putin helped Trump to become President before, in 2016, as the report by special counsel Robert Mueller made clear."

Adding (p. 125):

"Fusion GPS had unearthed numerous connections between Trump and Russia, including his links with alleged Russian organized crime figures - also that Trump had made many trips to Russia starting in the Soviet era."

 Supporting this were literally troves of substantiated material which the Right typically has ignored in Mueller's (2019) Report:. 

www.justice.gov/storage/report.pdf


 Including the indictments of 12 Russian (GRU) agents.


[Read the indictment here.]

Steele Dossier a fake? Think again! As shown in the comprehensive Dossier - The Moscow Project  it is as real as a heart attack. We know Trump stayed overnight at the Moscow Ritz Carlton in 2013 – where the Kompromat pee tape was made, e.g.

James Carville: There Is A Pee Tape 

Further, three experienced Guardian UK journalists (Luke Harding, Julian Borger, Dan Sabbah) reported:

 “The existence of a leaked Kremlin document describing the meeting of the Russian National Security Council in January, 2016 at which Vladimir Putin ‘authorizes a secret spy operation to support a ‘mentally unstable Donald Trump’ in the 2016 presidential election.”

Thankfully, four Republican senators and two Democratic senators have signed onto the statement released yesterday in protesting this abhorrent deal. They said the administration failed to consult with Congress or submit any explanation to justify its decision as required by statute.

The Republican senators who signed onto the statement included Sens. Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, Thom Tillis of North Carolina and John Curtis of Utah. The Democratic senators were Sens. Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire and Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut.

“The United States should not provide Putin with a financial lifeline while Russia continues to kill Ukrainian civilians. The Administration must immediately reverse course,”

But Trump's desperation to appease his MAGA base and get them cheaper gas and diesel before Nov. 3 is all-encompassing. His  Russkie handlers are keenly aware of his desperation so they know they have him by the balls. Warning from U.S. Senators be damned, the Dotard handlers know their asset will keep doing their bidding and giving Putin all he wants as a Russian asset. Believe it. And believe we have a president who is basically a Manchurian candidate doing the will of an enemy power - with no chance to stop him unless the Dems get control of congress- House AND Senate. 

Bottom line takeaway: Putin's orange asset in the WH is willing to wholesale sacrifice Ukrainian and European security to grab some momentary headlines before the midterms - while appeasing his Russian master.

`

Eight of our American service members are dead and over 140 wounded because Iran’s military has suddenly gotten really good at targeting our soldiers, Airmen, and Marines. News reports say they’ve been able to hit us with such precision because Russia is using their extraordinary spy satellite, spy plane, and advanced radar capabilities to help Iran’s military.

The Washington Post, which first reported on this, quoted a Russian military expert as saying that Iran is now “making very precise hits on early-warning radars or over-the-horizon radars,” seeming to validate the concern. The article added:

“Iran possesses only a handful of military-grade satellites, and no satellite constellation of its own, which would make imagery provided by Russia’s much more advanced space capabilities highly valuable — particularly as the Kremlin has honed its own targeting after years of war in Ukraine…”

Trump ratchets up attacks on NATO, says U.S. no longer needs alliance


Excerpt:

"President Donald Trump suggested the U.S. might move away from its commitment to defend NATO allies, criticizing them for not supporting the war in Iran. The United States may stop promising to defend its NATO allies should they come under attack, President Donald Trump said Friday, escalating his verbal barrage against the alliance as his frustration grows that European leaders have not significantly contributed to his war against Iran.

From the outset of the war, European leaders have been leery about the legality and wisdom of attacking the Iranian regime, and many of them continue to say that the only long-term way to contain Tehran’s nuclear ambitions is through diplomacy. European officials also face voters who are furious with Trump for suggesting in January that he would seize Greenland — diminishing their appetite for joining in a war of choice the following month."

The British newspaper Daily Mail is out with a deeply researched investigative report, the result of a long collaboration between columnists Glen Owen and Dan Hodges, along with Mark Hookham (Assistant Editor Investigations), and Daisy Graham-Brown (Investigative Reporter).

It’s shocking in its detail and its implication that Putin has basically owned Trump for years, even before he ran for president in 2016.

They note of last week’s partial (about 50%) Epstein document release:

“The files include 1,056 documents naming Russian President Vladimir Putin and 9,629 referring to Moscow. Epstein even seems to have secured audiences with Putin after his 2008 conviction for procuring a child for prostitution.”
