that inferred that Ukraine was losing the war therefore it must capitulate to the Putin/Krasnov surrender plan.

I purposely get myself in trouble here by stating my opinions without any links. I want people to think for themselves and not post something that someone else is saying.

usaf-vet I wish you would stick around, at least lurk, what you are saying is what I tried to say but couldn't come up with the words.

This is why I only get my news from a handful of sources, I get criticized for going to freespeechtv.org. I go there because they say what cable news anchors are afraid to say, or what they read from teleprompters.

I go to Nicolle Wallace, mainly because she has great guests on and knows how to grill them. Even her shows are slowly watering down.
Rachel Maddow basically retired, she should concentrate on writing books and doing podcasts, we needed her on mainstream TV 5 days a week, she left us.

We had better start thinking outside the box and not repeating what we see from the MSM.

I got my idea for Democrats to nominate a Malcolm Nance-like candidate for president in 2028 from freespeechtv.org. I posted it because I believe it, but also to see the reaction. The reaction I got was predictable, we must stay the course and throw money at the next election and elect another politician. We need to elect the toughest SOB out there, we don't need to elect another politician until we throw out the billionaires, and no I don't have a link to back that statement up, it's just my lowly opinion.

By the bye, Thom Hartmann warns everyone about stuff that is happening or about to happen months before the MSM catches up when it's too late.
