When I saw this turd show up few weeks ago. I was thinking this guy is playing these idiots in Congress. Who visits the President of the United States and Congress dressed like that? Nevermind his ol lady few weeks prior was in Paris I think blowing money like a drunk sailor. Congress fell for good ol Ukrainian propaganda. I will say at least Ukrainians have more fight in them than afghani army we propped up and spent billions on.

Ukraine Passes Law Allowing Military to Shoot Deserters
The Ukrainian parliament has approved a motion to allow commanders in the armed forces to fire at army deserters or those being insubordinate, and to arrest servicemen for "negligence" or "drinking alcohol" while on duty.
The motion was discussed in a session yesterday afternoon, with 260 MPs passing it out of a total 320, according to Ukrainian news agency Unian - surpassing the necessary 226 votes needed to pass the bill. It will now be added as an amendment to the current Ukrainian legislation on the regulations imposed on commanders' actions toward their charges.
The relevant passage of the bill, referring to "insubordination of the soldier, defiance or challenge to the commander, use of violence, abandonment of battle station or designated premises", states: "In a combat situation the commander may use weapons or give orders to subordinates on their application, if no other way to stop the offense exists, without causing the death of the other party."
"If the circumstances allow, the commander, prior to the use of these special measures or use of his weapon, ought to warn the other party by either using his voice or firing a warning shot, to act as an indication he is going to use the forthcoming measures." The full text of the law is posted on the Ukrainian parliament's website and is downloadable here.
The act will allow commanders to "utilise drastic measures" - defined by the UN as the use of force and firearms - towards officers caught acting in violation to the code of conduct during combat duty or while they are on border patrol. The new act adds "drinking alcoholic or low-alcoholic beverages" while on duty as an offence punishable by arrest and incarceration.
Article 1 of the motion, which has been voted in as the new law as of Friday, outlines the problems which poor discipline, consumption of alcohol and desertion are causing to the morale of the Ukrainian armed forces, and the need to address them.
Newsweek asked the Ukrainian military to comment on exactly which offences the licence to use force ('drastic measures') would apply to and the extent of that force. Newsweek also asked the Ukrainian military to reiterate whether this was addressing any specific disciplinary problems with this law. The Ukrainian military did not respond.
The motion was passed, which was indicated by a parliamentary notice, and reported by Ukrainian news sources Unian and Dialog.
NEWSWEEK SUBSCRIPTION OFFERS > Balázs Jarábik, a researcher for the Carnegie Endowment for Peace, specialising in central and eastern Europe, believes the new law is not as surprising as it seems, but rather "an old Soviet practice". Asked if the new law indicates a lack of commitment in Ukrainian troops he replied "Not at all."
"The armed forces are very committed - look at the battle for Donetsk airport or the fierce fight for Debaltseve. Kiev could not even order those folks to withdraw," he said referring to the fierce battle for Donetsk's airport which has been ongoing since September, and the Ukrainian forces defence of the small town of Debaltseve in the face of advancing rebel militants.
According to Jarábik, Kiev's major military challenges are to do with its administration, and issues regarding recruitment and allegations of corrupt leadership are particularly problematic.
"Crucially, Ukraine failed to ensure the necessary quantity of soldiers altogether in the standard four mobilization rounds during the last annual cycle," Jarábik adds. According to a statement made by the deputy commander of Ukraine's armed forces Vladimir Talaylay, 78,000 people had been called up for duty by last month, but only 46,000 new recruits were enlisted into the military as a result.
The Ukrainian armed forces announced earlier this week they may resort to call up women aged over 20 in the next recruitment cycle to make up the numbers.
Along with Ukraine's troops a series of volunteer battalions have formed with the backing of wealthy businessmen, the most famous of whom is Igor Kolomoyski, who reportedly funds the volunteer Aidar, Azov, Dnepr-1, Dnepr-2 and Donbas battalions.
The ruling junta in Ukraine is a fughking puppet govt set up by Zero and his NWO/WEF handlers with our money and with no regard for the welfare of the Ukranian people just like the puppet govt of AshkeNAZI jews that rule over us here using traitorus dhimmicraps and Rinos who tried to destroy the US with toxic jabs, lab grown viruses, high taxes, open borders, and foreign invasion of muzzies and Hispanics and Africans.
And POS John Burns approves of that also.
We have a mostly illegally elected traitorus govt of false jews, their puppets, and other traitors like Schumer, Schietfy, Zero, Piglosi, Finkstein, and others.
Throw in a traitor like Biden who probably didn't get 35 million votes and selling us out for the WEF and Zelensky.
Look WTF we had running NY and WTF replaced him. Look at that NWO pos gov of California - traitors all..Throw in that stolen illegal election and traitor Hobbs in AZ and Kemp in GA.

ribka; Top of the morning to you my cyber friend, I hope you're getting some warmer weather on your side of the medicine line as we are up here and you're well.
While I'm in no position to comment on whether your US political machine cares more about sending funds to Ukraine than helping it's citizens, we got this bit of news either yesterday or the day before.
During the "Three Amigos Summit" - can they not come up with a different name please - PM Socks announced we'll be purchasing an air defense missile system from a US supplier and shipping it directly to the Ukraine
Now what the supplied link does not say and what the legacy media channel Global News expert said when I first heard this was that it wasn't so much that we were sending it over there, but we don't have anything like that here.
In fact he went on to say that we're the only NATO country not to have that capability and while the Canadian Armed Forces has been asking for that for years, try as he might Prince Socks just could not find the financial wherewithal to make it happen.
Magically when cameras were on him, Socks found the funds, but found them for the Ukraine.
Supposedly Andrew Carnegie said, "As I grow older I pay less attention to what men say, I just watch what they do".
