Navarro didn’t even show up to assert the Executive Privilege he hides behind. Like Bannon, whose contempt trial comes this summer, he thinks a victorious GOP will ride to his rescue.
The GOP isn’t going to set a precedent by ignoring contempt of Congress, because they would disempower any investigative majority that they hope to attain by doing so.
Yep. That’s what they did. That’s what they do when people refuse to comply with subpoenas. What makes you think you’re above the law, you pretentious a-hole? Your suit and red tie? Your political connections?
People are tired of this bullshit. Expect more of the same if you engage in the same behavior.
By the way, the applicable word is “prosecution”, not “persecution”.
Yep. That’s what they did. That’s what they do when people refuse to comply with subpoenas. What makes you think you’re above the law, you pretentious a-hole? Your suit and red tie? Your political connections?
And Eric Holder was jailed when? What made Holder above the law?
I’m more concerned about Putin’s Hitler-like behavior and intentions than the flags and patches of a few people who resisted him when he invaded their homeland.
There were Confederate flags at pro-Trump demonstrations, as I recall—the flag of traitors who tried to break the Union and preserve racist-aligned slavery. You don’t seem to have a problem when idiots wave those banners around today.
Putin is EVIL. He’s trying to destroy a neighboring nation, slaughtering thousands in the course of an unprovoked invasion. He bitched and moaned about NATO, when he himself was the primary reason for NATO expansion. He has kidnapped thousands of Ukrainian children, and turned millions into refugees. He swaggers and postures and boasts, and threatens retaliation if anyone tries to stop him. He’s done enormous damage to the free world, and enormous damage to his own nation. He’s the reason for the surge in world gasoline prices. He’s the reason that millions could starve over the next few years. How anyone in their right might could hope for this man to prevail is beyond my understanding.
The EU just approved the embargo of Russian oil. They have the will to make the sacrifices that requires because they understand the consequences of letting Putin prevail. They’ve been there before. Some are still alive who are old enough to remember.
Putin shelled Russian-speaking Ukrainian towns into oblivion in his effort to ‘liberate’ ethnic Russians from Nazis. You’ve bought into the lies of a Russian tyrant, just like you’ve bought into the lies of Donald Trump.
Poor Comrade Greggie; he’s instructed to support the Jewish hating Ukrainian Nazis because China has told him to. Notice how Comrade Greggie, FA resident Goose Stepper, has gone from his defense of China to his defense of Ukraine? That’s because he has been told that people are too damn stupid to understand why.
When Comrade Greggie gets a toothache he makes an appointment with a proctologist.
Putin sent troops into Crimea because he perceived a growing threat to Russia’s national interests. He perceived that threat because of what the Ukrainian government was saying and doing.
How do you imagine Russia perceives the expansion of NATO? Albania, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Turkey… North Atlantic? WTF, indeed.
What should have been done differently? Are you suggesting that we should have gone to war with Russia?
You people are quick to criticize, but slow (as always) to state specifically what should have been done differently. Most likely because you realize you’d scare the bejesus out of all rational people who realize that Crimea really isn’t our problem.
An elite airborne Russian military unit has seen significant losses amid the war in Ukraine, so much so that one military analyst said that it was “absolutely annihilated” at one point in the offensive, according to The Moscow Times.
The Times tracked and reconstructed the movements of the 31st Guards Air Assault Brigade over the past several months in a report released as the Russia-Ukraine War hit 100 days Friday. The unit was among those sent to help gain control of the Ukrainian town of Hostomel, a suburb of Kyiv, in early March, according to an assessment from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) cited by the Times. In the resulting conflict that saw Ukraine fighting to hold off Russia’s advancement, “Russia’s elite forces were absolutely annihilated,” said Nick Reynolds, a military analyst at the British think tank Royal United Services Institute.
The 100-day mark of the war is notable because when Russia initially invaded Ukraine on February 24 with its focus on the capital of Kyiv and surrounding areas, U.S. officials predicted a swift Russian victory. But Ukraine launched a passionate counteroffensive, eventually spurring Russia to switch its focus to the eastern Donbas region, home to the self-proclaimed People’s Republics of Donetsk and Luhansk, which Russia has recognized as independent. The reported heavy losses in the elite Russian airborne regiment reflect a larger deterioration of the country’s image as a superior military power throughout these months of war.
Before the unit’s purported advance on Hostomel in early March, the 31st Guards Air Assault Brigade was “likely” at the Hostomel military airport fighting against Ukrainian forces, according to the February 24 ISW assessment. Ukraine was ultimately successful in preventing Russia from seizing full control of the airfield.
The independent Russian news outlet Mediazona calculated that the 31st Guards Air Assault Brigade has lost at least 52 of its paratroopers in total, including 34 between February 25 and March 7. Hostomel and Volnovakha, a town located in the self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic, were designated by Mediazona as the places of death for the paratroopers.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said in an April 3 Facebookpost that “significant” personnel losses resulted in about 25 of the unit’s servicemen refusing to participate in the war, according to an English translation.
After Russia switched its focus to Donbas, some of the 31st Brigade were redeployed to the area around Izium in Ukraine’s eastern Kharkiv region, The Moscow Times reported, citing a friend of a soldier in the brigade. Military analyst Rob Lee also told the Times that the unit’s remaining paratroopers who had been involved in the warfare around Kyiv were likely combined into one battalion tactical group in the east. Lee estimated that about 2,000 men from the brigade were sent to fight in Ukraine.
The brigade’s movements during the third month of the war were more difficult to designate, but the Times said that the unnamed friend informed the outlet that some of the brigade were aiding the Russian offensive around Severodonetsk in late May.
Russia has given comparatively low estimates of Russian soldier losses in Ukraine. In late March, it said that 1,351 had been killed in the war, Mediazona reported. Ukraine said Friday that the figure had nearly reached 31,000.
The true number of Russian losses to date is probably somewhere in the middle. Moscow’s official Russian number is ridiculous. US Intelligence estimates Russia has lost around a thousand tanks. Every Russian tank has a minimum crew of three.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has reasons to fear his own military, his counterpart in Belarus said on Friday. Alexander Lukashenko also repeated his earlier assertion that Poland was looking to seize parts of Ukraine, saying the Ukrainian military would “decapitate” anyone to prevent this.
“Already in Ukraine, according to my information, a serious confrontation and conflict is starting between Zelensky and the Ukrainian military,” Lukashenko told reporters in Minsk on Friday. He added that the Ukrainian military understands what’s involved in fighting Russia and knows they won’t be able to continue doing so much longer.
Noting that Russia has “changed tactics,” Lukashenko pointed out that Ukraine is running out of troops, having to rely on territorial defense militias to plug gaps in the line. Meanwhile, he added, Zelensky was making deals with Poland – which in his opinion seeks to “chop off” parts of western Ukraine that were once under its rule. Ukrainian nationalists, as well as the military, are displeased by this, according to the Belarusian president.
“They saw that he granted [special] status to the Poles,” which is a step toward losing the western regions, said Lukashenko, adding he was convinced the Ukrainian military and the nationalists are willing to “take the head off anyone” who would dismember the country, including Zelensky.
“We don’t need that. I warned about this long ago. Look, it’s happening. Just as I said, in time they will be asking us and the Russians to preserve Ukraine,” Lukashenko told reporters.
The Belarusian leader warned last month about alleged Polish aspirations to Ukrainian territories, echoing claims made in April by Director of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) Sergey Naryshkin, citing declassified intelligence. Warsaw has vehemently denied such plans.
Between 1919 and 1939, Poland included parts of present-day Belarus and Ukraine. Cities such as Lwow and Stanislawow – known as Lviv and Ivano-Frankivsk in present-day Ukraine – ended up in the USSR after WWII, as Poland’s borders were shifted westward to the Oder-Neisse line.
Few things are more pathetic than snarky comments from totally clueless people. Lukashenko is a brutal dictator who has tortured and murdered his political opponents. Would you care to hear a Llukashenko quote? Try this one:
“The history of Germany is a copy of the history of Belarus. Germany was raised from ruins thanks to firm authority and not everything connected with that well-known figure Hitler was bad. German order evolved over the centuries and attained its peak under Hitler. This corresponds with our understanding of a presidential republic and the role of a president in it.”
Give that statement some thought before you start yapping again about Zelensky being a Nazi.
Did you meet him at the Russian Toady Convention in 2012?
Putin’s objective is most likely to secure the eastern part of Ukraine because of the Russian population there. Zelensky’s objective is to get billions in handouts to support him and his corrupt cronies. According to Biden, our objective is the defeat of the Russian military and removing Putin from power. We are at war with Russia. We supply the weapons and Ukraine supplies the manpower. If the war were to end as it stands now, Putin will have won albeit at a much higher cost than he anticipated. Zelensky will have also won given the money he has gotten, although at a much higher cost. And the good old U.S.? We will have lost because Russia’s military wasn’t defeated and Putin stayed in power. It’ll be the second war the basement dummy has lost in less than a year.
There IS NO “Russian population” there. There are UKRAINIANS there WHO SPEAK RUSSIAN, just like there are millions of AMERICANS in our own nation’s southwest WHO SPEAK SPANISH.
Putin’s invading forces have killed tens-of-thousands of RUSSIAN SPEAKING UKRAINIANS indiscriminately. The Ukrainian population of Mariupol was predominantly Russian-speaking. Putin bombed and bombarded the city out of existence. 95 percent of the city has been reduced to rubble. Putin has murdered 20,000 of the people the lying bastard claims he came to “liberate”.

No, you won’t answer the question. You just demonstrated that by dodging it, and by asking me to defend a position that I have already acknowledged I have abandoned.
Eight years ago, I was wrong. Putin’s intentions are now clear. It’s equally clear that this will likely our one remaining opportunity to stop him.
Do you mean the Russian speaking Ukrainians that told Kiev to F’ off after the Hillary Clinton/George Soros U.S. State Dept coup, then were attacked by Nazis militias paid for by an oligarch for 8 years?

The January 6 kangaroo court is not convened according to its own rules. It is therefore bereft of authority. They’ve really stepped on their collective Johnson by picking a fight with Navarro. This will pretty much go to SCOTUS.
If I’m Putin, I would make a statement that he is not at odds with the United States, NATO or the EU. That the Ukraine and a past U.S. administration made a commitment to not add Ukraine to NATO. He should lay out in,detail and naming names how the legitimately elected Ukranian Government was overthrown to protect the corruption and money laundering tjat had gone on, and continues to this day. He should let it all hang out in tbe light of day and call for an impartial international commision (no US, EU or affiliates) to review the evidence and issue a report.
We know that not only Hunter,”crackhead” is in there, but the actions of Pelosi, Heinz(Kerry) and others (Romney) in both parties. Let ‘er rip tater chip”… Im sure that all kinds of eurotrash actions have been living off their graft privilege too…
greg will say:
“India is spreading propaganda, and they are Putin-lovers.”
Greg will say, Putin is a murderous piece of shit, and anyone who supports or gives him comfort is scum. How’s that?
anyone who supports or gives Nazi’s comfort is scum.
Fixed it for you
You really can’t spoil my day. Peter Navarro was arrested.

Once again your mouth overloaded your ass.
Yup, you’re side of the aisle will be treated just as well after November. We forget nothing.
The grammar police have shown up once again. Sure sign of who’s losing the argument.
Navarro ignored a congressional subpoena. Executive privilege ends when one is no longer Chief Executive.
we understand what you Nazi’s are doing
I have no sympathy whatsoever for Trump’s enablers, for the “Hang Mike Pence” crowd, or for people who can’t figure out what Vladimir Putin is.
Ditto…I have no sympathy whatsoever for Nazi enablers

You are supporting REAL Nazi supporters. End of story.
You support a government that endorses their troops supporting Nazism…
Disgusting

Was your leftist newsrag duped as well?

Meanwhile, you’re supporting Nazi’s.
Because you are a Nazi.
So did Eric Holder.
So Eric Holder should have been arrested on January 20, 2017.

The real issue is how we Americans are going to remove Biden and all those loyal from this unelected, installed regime.
Can’t wait to get back to democracy, and cutting off NATO so they can fight their own battles.
Hope they speak Russian.

Ukrainian military at odds with Zelensky – Belarus
Harnwell: Biden has delegated to Zelensky the decision whether the US is formally at war with Russia
Alexander Lukashenko is a Putin toady.
So he isnt a Nazi?
Alexander Lukashenko is a Putin toady.
And Zelensky is a Globalist toady.
I guess using Ukraine as a money-laundering black-site for decades has consequences.
Did you meet him at the Russian Toady Convention in 2012?
Few things are more pathetic than snarky comments from totally clueless people. Lukashenko is a brutal dictator who has tortured and murdered his political opponents. Would you care to hear a Llukashenko quote? Try this one:

Dude, are you for REAL.
Capitalizing and bolding words is a sign of someone who is desperate to amplify a message that is WORTHLESS
It’s a means of highlighting IMPORTANT POINTS when you’re attempting to communicate with IDIOTS.
It’s a means used by RETARDS that think their opinion matters.
Are you able to explain how slaughtering Ukraine’s Russian-speaking population equals their liberation? Because that’s what Putin has been doing.
I’ll answer that question as soon as you explain why it was OK for Russia to invade the Ukraine in 2014
YOU’RE a hypocrite
GREG
And
Of course he thought Putin’s perception of a growing threat was justified when Obama was in office
And:
No, you won’t answer the question. You just demonstrated that by dodging it, and by asking me to defend a position that I have already acknowledged I have abandoned.
Eight years ago, I was wrong. Putin’s intentions are now clear. It’s equally clear that this will likely our one remaining opportunity to stop him.
Eight years later you are still wrong spanky
Can you explain for the benefit of those cursed with logical minds how both positions can be wrong?
Somebody better tell Nathan.
