Tax-Payer..
President Volodymyr Zelensky told CNN Sunday, in a stark warning as his country enters a third year of full-scale war.
"Former US President Donald Trump will be “against Americans” if he chooses to support Russia over Ukraine."
Speaking to CNN’s Kaitlan Collins in Kyiv as the war reaches a pivotal moment, Zelensky said he “can’t understand how Donald Trump can be on the side of (Russian President Vladimir) Putin.”
“I think Donald Trump doesn’t know Putin,” Zelensky said. “I know he met him… but he never fought with Putin.
(The) American army never fought with the army of Russia. Never… I have a better understanding,” he said.
Comment: A better understanding as long as the American's Tax Payer paying the cost of war and corruption.
Just a thought.
Tin Can..
Russia has destroyed three U.S.-donated Abrams tanks in southern Ukraine since late February, according to Moscow, as Russia claims to have destroyed a slew of advanced U.S.-supplied equipment along the front lines.
On Wednesday, Russia said its forces had destroyed a U.S.-made Abrams tank operated by Ukraine close to the captured eastern city of Avdiivka, which Moscow has controlled since mid-February. Moscow claimed it knocked out a first Abrams tank in late February, and said on Monday that it had taken out a second one during clashes around villages west of Avdiivka.
Russia also said this week that it had destroyed three U.S.-made High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS) in the east and south of the country. Analysts say figures from Russia on Ukraine's reported losses are generally inflated, and Ukraine rarely comments on its own losses.
Billions and Billions are down the drain. Just a thought.
Quid Pro..
A decision by the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan reversed a December 2022 ruling by a lower-court judge that wiped out the bulk of the case against the Democrat, leaving only records falsification charges.
The appeals court said in its written decision that a jury could infer from the alleged facts in the case that New York Lt. Governor Brian Benjamin promised to allocate $50,000 in state funds to a non-profit organization controlled by a real estate developer in return for campaign contributions from the developer.
“We conclude that the indictment sufficiently alleged an explicit quid pro quo,” the 2nd Circuit said. “Therefore, we reverse the judgment of the district court and remand for further proceedings.”
In an opinion written by Judge Steven J. Menashi, the three-judge panel concluded that Benjamin had fair warning that his alleged agreement with the developer “was illegal and that it would not become legal if he simply avoided memorializing it expressly in words or in writing.”
