Who's calling anyone a racist? Where did that enter the conversation?
Nikole Hannah-Jones seems to think that we're only talking about Ukraine and helping them because Ukrainians are white.

Left-wing New York Times reporter and controversial 1619 Project creator Nikole Hannah-Jones was slammed online after accusing journalists covering the Russian invasion into Ukraine of “racialized analysis and language” in their reporting, indicating their “sympathy” for white victims of conflict and refugees in particular while claiming Europe is a fictional continent intended to separate it from non-“civilized” nations.

On Sunday, Hannah-Jones, author of the debunked New York Times 1619 Project, called on fellow journalists to “look internally” regarding acknowledging their racial biases in their coverage of the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine.

You're suggesting a song with lyrics about hating The Constitution, despising The Declaration of Independence, and loathing the American flag stirs your patriotism.

Vaccine mandates were horse crap but the media went all in on it.

Hospitals werent overrun. They are all here and doing great.

Masks never worked, media would have you believe otherwise.

The war propaganda is horse crap.

Anyone who is buying this media drama and political war machine narrative after the crap we have been told for the last 5 years is just codependant on drama.

Putin looks like a language deleted idiot. He sucks.

I am calling BS here. Ukraine is a shithole run by thugs and oligarchs. I smell a rat and the crap we see from the media is retarded as language deleted. And the language deleted is up with this President? He ain't too concerned about a war, why should we give AF?

You can take issue with her approach, but she’s not entirely wrong. She’s referring to statements like these from the Bulgarian prime Minister -

"These are not the refugees we have used to. These are people who are Europeans, so we and all other EU countries are ready to welcome them. These are intelligent people, educated people...some of them are IT specialists, highly qualified. In other words, this is not the refugee wave we have used do, where we do not know what to do, people with obscure past, maybe terrorists. These are Europeans who just got their... airport bombed, who were shot at, who were hiding in the metro. So none of the European countries is afraid from the immigrant wave that is about to come."

He's in his basement watching Matlock reruns, which is where he belongs in my opinion. The last time they let him out he withdrew from Afghanistan and helped Putin see the kind of weakness he was now dealing with.
And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

The last time they let [BIden] out he withdrew from Afghanistan
So ... I thought the President who decided to withdraw from Afghanistan was Donald Trump? And that he said it was a wonderful thing to do, and complained that Biden was taking too long about it?

.... Oh. It seems I was right about that. I wonder if Ajax had forgotten about that?

Trump calls Afghanistan withdrawal 'a wonderful and positive thing to do' and criticizes Biden's timeline
Washington (CNN)

April 19, 2021

Former President Donald Trump on Sunday praised withdrawing US troops from Afghanistan, while knocking his successor's timeline for doing so.

Though the former President offered his support of President Joe Biden's plans to bring home American troops, he urged his successor to draw an end to America's longest war well before the September 11 deadline that Biden set last week. Trump said that while leaving Afghanistan is "a wonderful and positive thing to do," he had set a May 1 withdrawal deadline and added that "we should keep as close to that schedule as possible."
"I wish Joe Biden wouldn't use September 11 as the date to withdraw our troops from Afghanistan, for two reasons. First, we can and should get out earlier. Nineteen years is enough, in fact, far too much and way too long," Trump said, adding: "September 11 represents a very sad event and period for our Country and should remain a day of reflection and remembrance honoring those great souls we lost."

Do you have evidence that Trump was misquoted? Don’t gaslight me, bro.

Not only that, but seeing other people being shredded by cluster munitions and children murdered inspires him to treason.
