Ukraine is giving $54 billion in humanitarian aid to Ukraine over 4 years starting this year. I guess the military aid is mostly coming from the USA.

Ukraine faces a $43bn budget deficit this year and expects the EU aid will cover just under half of it.

Tucker thinks Pukin is an evil stupid cunt:

Tucker Carlson bashed Russian President Vladimir Putin's justification for invading Ukraine, claiming that the "denazification" of the country was "one of the dumbest things I'd ever heard."

Speaking with host Lex Fridman in a podcast episode released Tuesday, Carlson discussed his controversial interview with Putin released earlier this month.

Putin and Carlson's interview touched on a long list of topics, from a long-winded Russian history lesson to Putin's thoughts on the next U.S. presidential election. Carlson also described his first impression of Putin as someone who "seemed nervous," telling Fridman that the Russian president "went into [the interview] like an over-prepared student."

Fridman specifically asked Carlson for his opinion on Putin's justification for continuing the war in Ukraine, which in part is to achieve the "denazification" of the country.

"I thought it was one of the dumbest things I'd ever heard," Carlson told Fridman. "I didn't understand what it meant."
"I hate that whole conversation because it's not real," he continued. "It's just ad hominem. It's a way of associating someone with an evil regime that doesn't exist anymore.

Most likely a false quote. Notice there is no link to the interview, and there's no time stamp.

Now where did Carlson say this? Show the timestamp.

Anyone can fake anything. There's nothing you can believe link or otherwise. I can create a website in 5 minutes and say Putin is the best masturbator on the planet.

I'm not sure your point half the time. Everything is fake. If you don't see it, it doesn't exist... That's reality.

Not everything is fake.

I'm pointing out that I believe @RWSGFY is lying, and I'm challenging him to demonstrate he's not lying. If he's lying there's no chance he can demonstrate he's not. It's my experience he lies a lot. He's basically a low level propagandist.

The guy who (correctly) claimed that he can find any text by 10 words is suddenly making a Pokemon face and pretending he was banned on Goolag search site. Hi-fucking-larios.

@richwicks: Go find it yourself, muzafaka, or pay me $10 to do it for you. But you must publicly admit that you are incabable of such a simple operation.

UPD. Seems like Patrick has removed the tipping feature. So I don't require $10 anymore. But the rest of the offer stands.

Nope. You're just lying. I'm content with that conclusion.

@RWSGFY Alright. Sure. Whatever. Just show it.

Show me the timestamp where Carlson said that.

And by "that", I mean:

Where's the timestamp? Here's the interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_lRdkH_QoY - show me where in that THREE HOURS he said that.

The reason I suspect this is false, is Carlson isn't that fucking stupid (I mean, who is) and second, he's not paid to pretend to be this stupid anymore, and since he's PRETENDING to be real opposition and not controlled opposition, it's more difficult for him to make a "mistake" like this. It's pretty easy to identify people in Ukraine who claim to be Nazis.

Globohomo is slinging out the deepfakes and the propaganda like it was elephant piss being propelled by a 40,000 CFS turbofan.
