‘I mean’, ‘listen you guys’, VP Harris flubs history of Russia-Ukraine tensions

Vice President Kamala Harris does not speak much about national security, nor any other pressing matters, and her comments on the escalating tensions between Russia and Ukraine may be an indication as to why that’s the case.

Vice President Kamala Harris was clearly ill prepared to discuss the Ukraine crisis with reporters at the Munich Security Conference in Germany. The Vice President took a laid back, deflect approach with a lot of “I mean” and “listen” and “guys” in hopes of distracting everyone from noticing her lack of knowledge.

“I mean, listen, guys, we’re talking about the potential for war in Europe,” Harris said responding to a question about how the Biden administration saw the situation’s “endgame” playing out.

“I mean, let’s really take a moment to understand the significance of what we’re talking about,” Harris went on. “It’s been over 70 years. And through those 70 years … there has been peace and security. We are talking about the real possibility of war in Europe.”

Uh, yeah, that’s what everyone is gathering to discuss, madam vice president. One Twitter user jumped on Harris writing, “Did I just watch Kamala Harris claim there has been peace in Europe for 70 years?”

One perfect description for whatever it is that Harris was trying to say is “word salad” tweeted by former GOP House and Senate candidate from Pennsylvania, Sean Parnell. “This word salad … may God help us all,” wrote Parnell.

The New York Post quoted Washington Examiner reporter Jerry Dunleavy who tweeted, “We are being led by total buffoons.”  Dunleavy pointed out those 70 years of “peace and security” included the Yugoslavian civil wars of the 1990s, “as well as Russia’s attacks on Georgia & Ukraine.”

“Also, Berlin Wall only came down three decades ago so I’d quibble with 70 years,” he added before emphasizing in a second tweet that “it is not true there have been no wars in Europe for 70 years, nor do I consider the Soviet occupation of Eastern Europe ‘peace & security.’”

    Kama is the unqualified VP in history yet Joseph picked her as his successor if he could no longer serve.
    Joe picks only the Best? What we have gotten is the worst Presidency of at least modern times… perhaps much longer. Kama could take the top spot if given the opportunity. Seriously, what has happened to the Old Dem Party? They have been hijacked by radicals and fools.

    Ukraine became a SELF CREATED problem when Victoria, F__k the EU, Nuland and George, Color Revolution, Soros OVERTHREW the pro Putin Ukraine Government and forced the Russian people in Crimea to join Russia, along with their warm water base at Sevastopol. Based on that, if President Putin (a Christian) takes Ukraine back to prevent NATO nuclear weapons from being deployed in Ukraine, it should be seen by Americans who KNOW HISTORY as a rejection of the neoCON war mongers.

    “We are being led by total buffoons.” Sadly, so true.

    Do you really expect an anchor baby who was reared in Canada to know much of anything about US history or the cold war or the conflicts in Europe. The woman is walking train wreck who proves she’s an even bigger train wreck than you can imagine every single time she opens her mouth. She’s an oxygen thief who is not even eligible to the president. I cannot believe this is what has become of our nation.

    She probably made an “A” in history and didn’t even study or read the books.

    A buffoon nation deserves/elects/can only afford buffoon leaders! Ironically, in the last 100 years, the only “true” buffoon leaders – Reagan and Trump, both related to public entertainment – were also the best leaders and least buffoons when it came to serious matters. Kamala Harris is a useless entity for who needs a Fou du Roi when the Roi est Fou? If there was a drop of international credit left, it has vanished now that the US have become the laughingstock of the world!

Former senior Army officer indicted for sharing defense secrets with woman in Ukraine he met on dating website

The Justice Department (DOJ) accused a former senior Army officer assigned to U.S. Strategic Command (STRATCOM) of giving out classified defense secrets to a woman he met on a foreign dating website in an indictment unsealed Monday night. According to the indictment, David Franklin Slater, who had retired from the Army as a lieutenant colonel, allegedly sent information labeled SECRET from approximately February to April 2022.

Slater was working as a civilian employee for STRATCOM, which oversees U.S. nuclear forces, where he held a Top Secret security clearance and had access to sensitive briefings about Russia’s war against Ukraine. The individual receiving the information claimed to be a woman from Ukraine.

The Daily Caller News Foundation reports:

The woman called Slater her “secret informant love” and her “secret agent,” according to a transcript of their exchanges included in the indictment.

She frequently asked him to provide “sensitive, non-public, closely held and classified” defense information, the DOJ said in a press release. Some of that information pertained to military targets related to Russia’s war in Ukraine and U.S. information on Russian military capabilities.

“American Intelligence says that already 100% of Russian troops are located on the territory of Ukraine. Do you think this information can be trusted?” the conspirator asked on March 7, 2022, the first request mentioned in the indictment.

Others followed on a regular basis.

“By the way, you were the first to tell me that NATO members are traveling by train and only now (already evening) this was announced on our news. You are my secret informant love! How were your meetings? Successfully?” the conspirator messaged Slater on March 15, 2022.

Another request for classified information in March was signed, “You are my secret agent. With love.”

In each of the cases, Slater provided the requested secret information, the indictment alleges.

“Sweet Dave, the supply of weapons is completely classified, which is great!” the conspirator told Slater in on April 12.

Authorities arrested Slater on Saturday, according to a press release accompanying the indictment. The DOJ charged Slater with one count of conspiracy to disclose national defense information and two counts of unauthorized disclosure.

He was set to make his first court appearance on Tuesday; if convicted, he faces up to 10 years in prison and fines of up to $750,000, according to the DOJ.
