You act like those companies are privately held. Millions of Americans are better off because of what you just posted.

The pattern of Biden appointments of high-level Pentagon officials straight from consulting firms and corporations seeking influence with the government, said Poulson, risks “something close to pay-to-play in the tech national security arena.”
Ronald Moultrie, Biden’s pick to serve as Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security, comes from at least a dozen consulting firms and contractors, which he joined after holding positions in the National Security Agency, Central Intelligence Agency, and Navy.
He notably was a board member of Altamira Technologies, a defense contractor that recently won an award worth up to $950 million to support the Air Force’s Advanced Battle Management System program that’s creating a high-speed network for military personnel to share information as they’re taking potentially lethal action.
Moultrie has a background that involves overt influence peddling, including work as a paid adviser to Resolute Public Affairs, a lobbying shop that touts its ability to intervene on behalf of clients on sensitive matters such as controls of foreign investments. Moultrie reported earning $350,000 since 2020 from the firm on his disclosure forms.
Moultrie also sat on the board of Pallas Advisors, a “strategic advisory firm specializing in navigating complex national and international security dynamics” founded by Sally Donnelly, a senior adviser to Mattis during his tenure as defense secretary. Donnelly, a former Amazon consultant, notoriously facilitated a private dinner between Mattis and Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos while the Pentagon was developing a solicitation for a $10 billion Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure cloud services contract. That contract is now entangled in a lawsuit Amazon filed after Microsoft won the award.
Just like in the script, fly those Ukraine flags idiots
Easy to understand. Impossible to explain why it’s our fight. I notice that instead of explaining it, you act like this is some moral issue.
Perhaps she did but who cares? Zelensky has his own money, is he not allowed to spend it on comfort? Do you expect them to self fund the war? The optics aren't good but its also no big deal.
If you say so, I would ask the residents with limited food or water for however long or the families of their daughters/mothers raped what they thought about it
Buddy, didn’t you hear? Zelensky and his wife are allowed to go spend money (our tax money, ahem) frivolously on top designer to help build the morale of their country suffering.
When Zelensky’s wife spends $12k on a purse, the people of Ukraine are basically there at the register of that high end French store with her. In spirit.
It’s metaphorical support.
Gassy 40,000 pounds on Louis Vuitton goes quick 🍺 maybe she had Brandon’s credit card ?
Maybe your moral outrage should be directed at the country whose government ordered the invasion and whose military is responsible for the limited food/water situation and the rapes.
But hey, you found a cute twitter post that happens to fit your narrative, so you do you. The supposed source is an unnamed store clerk, LOL. At worst, and if true, it's bad optics. Good to know that you're incensed by someone's Christmas shopping rather than actual war crimes.
And anyway, in the future, please remember to inform me when Beth Mowins is on the broadcast for the next bowl game. 😁
Oh, good grief. Where are the pics? There are never pics. Just references to anonymous clerks.
Try harder.
You're so lame. Here is his actual statement and he is quite correct.
"The operation itself has not started yet. When it does, you’ll definitely hear about it. I think that retaking Crimea has begun in people’s minds, and that’s very important. In our inner desires…and in a united attitude to the question. It’s not just in the words “Crimea is Ukraine.” That’s too little — we need to be ready to go, because no one will simply give up Crimea. Retaking always begins in society, with desire and readiness. So, I think that this is the beginning."
At least have the respect to watch the video before you just post some random slava ukraine bs.
I watched quite a bit of it. Was there something other than the horrors of war that I missed? Do you really think someone with family in WWI, WWII, Korea and Vietnam doesn't understand the horrors of war.
My uncle was a marine and in hand to hand combat on Okinawa. My father was a marine in Korea. As soon as Russia is destroyed in Ukraine, this will be over and now Putin has guaranteed that Ukraine will become part of NATO.
Question, how is saying "war is horrific" twisted into "glory to Ukraine" in your little brain?
I still think Crimea will be a bargaining chip with the end result being Ukraine keeping Donbas and Russia keeping Crimea but who knows.
i posted at 12:23.. you responded at 12:35... LOL. Yea there was more. But you don't want to hear it because you want more war.
So tell me about it. I skipped through and heard the same thing over and over. How about you tell me what I missed. I bet I missed nothing.
Yep. Just a guy doing what you are too scared to do and having the kind of courage you don't have. Nothing!
Anything to rationalize or justify their war lust.
Just wait and see how good that loser POS Zelly makes you feel today for having the right opinion.
