The Russian flag tie was blatantly IMO to show disrespect towards Zelensky and perhaps to give the Russians a signal that they have their man in the Pentagon. Not to say I think he's a Russian agent, but IMO, he was signalling that he's an asset. But why?

Well, I think Jim is correct, it is because Hog'sbreath and other Christofascists like him see Putin as a Christian nationalist ally. Whereas Zelensky is a jew (perhaps not irrelevant to them) With his Jerusalem cross tattoo he has already signalled his identity as a "crusader", a "christian" soldier, in a sense, dedicated to recreating "Christendom," some sort of analog of the Holy Roman Empire, OR perhaps more dangerously and insanely to bring on the "End Times" to summon the second coming of Christ and the establishment of God's Kingdom on earth.

Whether or not that really nails what propels Hog'sbreath's fevered imagination, he's undoubtedly an extraordinarily dangerous person to be second in command of the world's most deadly military machine. I can only hope there are still enough general officers who will be unwilling to follow blatantly illegal and/or unconstitutional orders to represent a real obstacle to their (Trump and Hegseth's) mad plans, whatever they are.

The stone cold silence that greeted Trump amd Hegseth at their insane 'Lethality over Legality' pep rally may have been A SIGNAL that there are.

Hogsbreath definitely had some nerve to wear a Russian flag tie in front of Zelensky. And the rockets over the freeway is definitely a sign the fascists are waging war on the citizenry. Add tRump's sick post of him shitting on protesters from a fighter jet and we have all the signs we need of a country in advanced decline.

Hegseth is also I hear an advocate for a religion that says women shouldn't vote. That the man is the head of the household and votes for everyone. Also they believe that men should administer "punishment" for disobedient wives! No wonder his mother felt it was necessary to speak out against him! My dad was English and met my mother when he was stationed in India during Gandhi's day. He learned the language while he was there and really admired Gandhi's stance of "turn the other cheek." That was the days when leaders could be embarrassed, not anymore. They wear their ignorance like it's proud thing to be! He fought fascism all over the word for 24 years and what draft dodger bone spurs is doing will be making him turn in his grave.

The US Secretary for the Department of WAR wearing a Russian flag pin at a meeting with an ally in a war with Russia. Hoe-Lee-Fuck. I remember 10 or more years ago, the righties making a big deal about Dem candidates not wearing a US flag pin during the debates. My how the flag pin issue has evolved.

I wasn’t able to see a Russian flag pin…I did see a Russian flag tie.

One thing that no one can deny is Zelenski shows up, time and time again, no games, no charades, just shows up no matter how he knows things will go.

The “uncommon persistence” is a show of strength, while the unfitness of the US two players, play with the very lives they denounce that are utterly worthless, over the false gods and flags they serve, by virtue of their symbiosis, that is nothing more than a sign of weakness.

Yet, they’re in a position to continue to play death games, to appease the one they seemingly cannot, the Chess Master.

It’s easy to be Goliath when you do nothing but sit and deny David from behind the looking glass.

No one paying attention can ever deny a player who is consistent versus one who changes the game to cheat.

No political capital and I am more proud of the frog than I am the defiant acts of losing men in their ties and artillery arsenal paid for in BLOOD underneath the lily pad of betrayal.

Today was glorious! There are more of us than there are of them and it was obvious in red states as well.

My dad was ANTIFA. He fought fascism in North Africa in WWII.

Today I showed Trump and MAGA that I am ANTIFA too‼️🇺🇸
