Former U.S. Ambassador Breaks Down High-Stakes Biden-Putin Meeting

    1. HERE are the questions I want answered.

      — If Democrats didn’t rig and steal the election, why are they so afraid of forensic audits in key battleground states, specifically the current audit in Arizona?

      — When Trump was an 8-to-1 landslide favorite with bettors around the world late on election night and clearly headed toward a landslide electoral victory, why did five states suddenly announce they would pause counting for the night? And how come Biden was suddenly ahead by morning?

      — How come Michigan apparently had a dump of 149,772 votes at 6:31 a.m. on Nov. 4, 96% of which went to Biden?

      — How did Wisconsin count 149,520 votes for Biden from 3:26 to 3:44 a.m. on Nov. 4?

      — How come Philadelphia vote counters were so desperate to keep witnesses out of the counting room? Why did they refuse entry to witnesses (to Republicans) until those witnesses had a court order in hand?

      — Why were the windows in a vote-counting location in Detroit covered with cardboard so nobody (no Republican) could see inside?

      — There are videotapes filmed in Detroit of vans pulling up in the middle of the night with what obviously look like boxes of ballots. In Atlanta, there are videotapes that clearly show ballot containers appearing at a vote-counting location after a fake water main break was used to force all GOP witnesses out of the counting room. Why can’t we discuss these videotapes?

      — How come Twitter banned me for life over mentioning these videotapes?

      — How come the Arizona Senate’s liaison for the vote audit says Maricopa County hasn’t complied with the subpoena by turning over passwords to Dominion voting machines?

      — How come the Biden DOJ suddenly wants to stop the Arizona audit?

      THESE are all valid questions. Why do we get backlash for asking them and posting them on social media? What are Democrats hiding? What are they so afraid of?

      IN the end, that’s the proof Democrats rigged and stole the 2020 presidential election. 

      THE truth is in their ridiculous, heavy-handed overreaction. 

      THEY’RE desperate to stop you from looking into or even talking about this.🔻

  1. America has its own human rights issue as well not as Russian s. So we’re not all right either 😔😒 Amen to truth like it or not Amen

  2. Watching the Putin interview it’s obvious he pays very close attention to what’s going on in America and that’s frightening!

    1. @NADEER farah
      Nope. But thanks for the algorithm, troll, whose YouTube account is only 3 weeks old.
      Is that you Trump? Don Jr.? Putin?

  3. The cumbersome bacon empirically invent because headline evolutionarily beg to a magical ground. secretive, public textbook

  4. Remember when Putin suggested to trump that he help trump investigate the interference in the election? As if we would allow Osama bin laden to help us investigate 9/11! Yet trump thought it was a great idea!! He brightened up & beamed & told the world how kind that was of Putin. Yet 35% of Americans thought trump was a great president! Absurd. The GOP wants to make voting harder? Lets require IQ tests!

    1. High IQ is a measure of POTENTIAL only . Potential to learn and successfully interact with surroundings . I have an IQ of ~ 142 , however , I only know what I actually apply myself to learn . I know people that think their IQ means they were born intelligent . (like Trump) This is far from the truth . Success is 10% IQ and 90% hard work .

  5. Look Putin just wants to control his country! Simply put he is their elected leader so I’m not gonna push any leaders out but I’m gonna hold them responsible for their actions! Count on it!

    1. @Linda Keefer Perhaps you haven’t been paying attention because there is absolutely no doubt he’s poisoned more than one of his adversaries. Unless, of course, you don’t believe your own country’s intelligence services?

    2. @McLovin Father was FBI under Hoover and forward. Not so sure our intelligence is the same as it used to be. (He would be rolling over in his grave) America doesn’t have blood on it’s hands? Putin is Putin and Biden isn’t at the top of his game.

    1. True. That does make him a formidable adversary. It doesn’t make him honest, trustworthy, and desiring world peace. My guess is that world domination is his goal. Certainly, he had an ally in Trump in pursuing those goals.

    1. He’s been smiling for 5 years as of now. There is more Russian spoken than Mexican where I live. The plants are already here.

  6. Joe is just going to pick up his check for shutting down an American pipeline and dropping the Trump sanction so the Russians can open theirs. 10% for the big guy.

    1. There you Vlad! There’s your troll post for the day. Well done for hitting your target. And the new translation app is doing well with US idiom. Oh, one thing out of several that’s wrong, is, the pipeline was for Canadian oil, not American oil. So, it was not going to benefit US energy independence.

  7. If Putin had his way there would have been a Russian, Chinese and American alliance. That is what was at stake in the 2020 election.

  8. Did Joe give him crack or a little kid to rip up? Was it Chinese? We’ve been looking for the kids on Hunter’s laptop, digging all over and we haven’t found them yet. We will find them. They don’t all look alike.

  9. russias whole economy is 1.71 trillion . they are a third world nation take away the nukes and we would not waste time on them.

  10. The President has only a very brief idea of where he is going and we all hope that he does not call Putin Trump .

  11. Keir the Russian pipe line to Germany …. is going to lose reliance on US economic (hegemony) and Increase imaginary US military reliance …its all selfish hegemonic stories that soon not many will support.. except Australia…..its just like asking Germany to buy American gas instead of Russian….ha ha
