    Well, if a Ruzzian propaganda outlet sez it, it must be true

    Dude, she moved to Russia. That's not something where you just pack a suitcase and show up.

    Where did she say she defected? Former Biden staffer accuses him of sexual assault and leaves the country out of fear and The Guardian spins it into a defecting traitor.

    Tara Reade, who accused Joe Biden of sexual assault, defects to Russia

    Tara Reade, a former Senate staffer who in 2020 accused Joe Biden of sexual assault, said on Tuesday she had defected to Russia.

    “I’m still kind of in a daze a bit but I feel very good,” Reade told Sputnik, a Russian press outlet supportive of President Vladimir Putin, while sitting with Maria Butina, a convicted Russian agent jailed in the US but now a member of parliament in Russia.

    “I feel very surrounded by protection and safety,” Reade said.

    Now 59, Reade was a staffer for Biden when he was a US senator from Delaware.

    In 2020, as Biden ran for the Democratic presidential nomination, she claimed that in 1993, in a Senate corridor, he pushed her against a wall and assaulted her. Biden repeatedly denied the accusation.

    At her press appearance in Russia, Reade was described as a “writer and publicist and former aide to Joe Biden”.
    Sitting next to Butina, Reade said: “I just really so appreciate Maria and everyone who’s been giving me [protection] at a time when it’s been very difficult to know if I’m safe or not.

    “I just didn’t want to walk home and walk into a cage or be killed, which is basically my two choices.”

    Reade recently flirted with testifying before US House Republicans seeking to use committees to attack Biden and his family.

    The decision to defect to Russia, she told Sputnik, “was very difficult. I’m not an impulsive person. I really take my time and sort of analyse data points.
    “And from what I could see based on the cases and based on what was happening and sort of the push for them to not want me to testify, I felt that while [the 2024] election is gearing up and there’s so much at stake, I’m almost better off here and just being safe. My dream is to live in both places, but it may be that I only live in this place and that’s OK.”

    Biden is running for re-election. As president, he has helped maintain international support for Ukraine as it fights invading Russian forces.

    Reade said: “To my Russian brothers and sisters, I’m sorry right now that American elites are choosing to have such an aggressive stance. Just know that most American citizens do want to be friendsand hope that we can have unity again.
    “I am enjoying my time in Moscow, and I feel very at home.”​

    Maybe not, the video was edited and he might have meant supporting Ukraine was the best money we could have spent

    Did Lindsey Graham admit to paying bounties on Russian soldiers? Something to the effect of killing Russians being money well spent.

    They seem to be doing both.

    Gotta admire that Russian efficiency

    Just came across this:

    WHO records more than 1000 attacks on health care in Ukraine over the past 15 months of full-scale war​
    WHO records more than 1000 attacks on health care in Ukraine over the past 15 months of full-scale war
    https://www.who.int/europe/news/item/30-05-2023-who-records-1-000th-attack-on-health-care-in-ukraine-over-the-past-15-months-of-full-scale-war
    Kyiv, 30 May 2023WHO has verified more than 1000 attacks on health care in Ukraine since the invasion by the Russian Federation in February last year – the highest number WHO has ever recorded in any humanitarian emergency. This grim milestone yet again highlights the difficult and dangerous circumstances in which the country’s health system operates, and the challenges of providing both routine and emergency health-care services. Attacks hinder access to health care for tens of thousands of people, increasing the risks of illness and death. The 1004 WHO-verified attacks over the past 15 months of full-scale war have claimed at least 101 lives, including of health workers and patients, and injured many more. They have impacted health providers, supplies, facilities and transport, including ambulances.WHO defines an attack on health care as “any act of verbal or physical violence, obstruction or threat of violence that interferes with the availability, access and delivery of curative and/or preventive health services during emergencies”. This can range from violence with heavy weapons to psychosocial threats and intimidation that affect access to health care for those in need.“These attacks threaten the safety and well-being of health workers and undermine care for people living close to conflict areas,” said Dr Jarno Habicht, WHO Representative in Ukraine. “Attacks on health care are a violation of international humanitarian law. They deprive people of the care they need and have wide-ranging, long-term consequences.”Such attacks rob entire communities of essential health services that are needed to save lives, leading to increased illness and death and deterioration of health systems in the longer term. The psychological effect on patients scared to seek health care, and on health workers unable to provide care in safe and protected environments, are also significant, and will impact the health of the population for long periods of time. WHO continues to advocate for safe access for the delivery of health-care services, free from violence, threat or fear. This is critical to putting people in need at the centre of the collective humanitarian response. “The fact that the health system in Ukraine continues to operate amid such circumstances is a testament to the heroic dedication of health-care workers,” continued Dr Habicht. “Despite the challenges posed first by the COVID-19 pandemic and now well over a year of war, Ukraine’s health-care workers remain amazingly strong, brave and patient, day after day, saving lives and providing care to those in need. We stand in solidarity with them and all those working to ensure that everyone in Ukraine has access to the health care they need.” WHO has been monitoring and responding to health needs in the regions most affected by fighting in the east and south of the country. According to the Health Resources and Services Availability Monitoring System (HeRAMS), health facilities in the most affected areas, including Kherson, Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk, have reported facing difficulties due to lack of security and to structural damage. However, a high percentage of health facilities in these regions are functional and accessible, even though they continue to operate only partially due to damage.“Even as we continue to verify attacks on health care as this relentless war grinds on, we also note that attacks on other civilian infrastructure, especially in the past 6 months, are indirectly impacting the capacity of the health system overall,” explained Dr Habicht. “WHO has so far reached almost 9 million people with support nationwide since 24 February last year. We are stepping up efforts, along with the United Nations and other partners, to access more areas, including regained parts of Ukraine where health needs are among the most acute.” According to WHO data, significant challenges have been reported in providing specialized services, such as chemotherapy and mammography, due to a lack of staff and medical equipment. Some regions also face difficulties in providing high-skilled childbirth services. Although primary health-care remains widely available in war-affected regions, health costs have been increasing in the past half-year. Surveys conducted by WHO indicate that nearly a third of the population is finding it difficult to afford certain health services.

    Russia has been doing an amazing job of intercepting Ukrainian missiles. Almost 100%. .


    However I do have to wonder about the cost effectiveness of using oil storage facilities and ammunition depots to intercept missiles.
    That is probably why they moved to hypersonic Kinzhals to intercept SAMs mid-air.

    Russiagate is very much connected to Ukraine in much the same way HUAC was to the cold war

    Trump has promised to pardon them all.

    Trump is a bend the letter of the law till it breaks kinda con. Has been all his life. He didn't command them to break the law he just intentionally tried to arrange the conditions where he expected it would "spontaneously" happen and willfully refused to lift a finger to tamp it down until the resulting fireworks blazed for several hours. That was his tantrum at losing.

    He did tell them they would "peacefully" proceed to the capital once in the speech but that was purely CYA and plausible deniability for him. He did not instruct the mob to be violent or start any "hang mike pence" slogans or indeed to do any specific illegal thing. The guy tried to incubate a riot on his behalf without ever ordering or commanding or even asking for one. Technically that is. That's Trump's MO. I wouldn't waste any time trying to directly implicate him for having commanded or instructed the lawbreakers. The lack of his response to stop it, however, was impeachable IMHO.

    I hope we connect this side conversation to Ukraine in some way or else resume it in another thread.

    gee.... in Trump land, unless they have been already convicted of sedition, they were just all innocent people who just happened to be breaking the law on the request of Trump... None of them did ANYTHING wrong.

    I guess Trumpetes will believe whatever he tells them to believe.
