[HEADING=2]Trump denies calling Putin a 'genius'[/HEADING]

With the U.S. public showing a vast disapproval of Russian President Vladimir Putin in the wake of [his invasion of Ukraine]('https://www.yahoo.com/news/un-4-million-refugees-have-fled-russias-senseless-war-202343796.html'), former President Donald Trump has sought to explain his glowing appraisal of the Russian leader's moves leading up to the war.

On Wednesday, Trump released a statement in which he parsed the semantics of using the word "genius" when referring to Putin's military strategy.

"The Fake News is also saying I called Putin a 'genius,' when actually, and to be precise, I called his build-up on the Ukraine border before the war started genius because I assumed he would easily be able to negotiate a great deal with Russia," Trump said in the written statement.
[COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)](so Putin was working on negotiating a deal with himself?)[/COLOR]

Trump, who seems likely to run for president again in 2024, did not explain why he had praised Putin for seeking to leverage the threat of military conflict to undermine Western interests. While conceding that he had misread Putin's intentions, Trump also placed blame with President Biden's administration for how the war started.

"Unfortunately, and tragically, Putin went too far, acting on the WEAK Foreign Policy of the Biden Administration. The Fake News said I called him a genius during the war. No, I was describing the great negotiating posture he had prior to the unfortunate decision to enter Ukraine and fight. There was nothing 'genius' about that!"
[COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)](how is that any different?)[/COLOR]

Trump's attempt to clarify his "genius" comment is another signal of how strong the political winds have shifted on Russia and Ukraine. In the days before the war, prominent voices like Fox News host Tucker Carlson questioned why the U.S. should side with Kyiv. Trump, who has long praised Putin, continued to do so. On Feb. 22, just before the Russian invasion, Trump called Putin's strategy "genius" and "savvy."

"I went in yesterday and there was a television screen, and I said, 'This is genius.' Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine — of Ukraine — Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that's wonderful," Trump [said on "The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show]('https://www.clayandbuck.com/president-trump-with-cb-from-mar-a-lago/')."
[COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)](how is that wonderful?)[/COLOR]

"He used the word 'independent,' and 'We're gonna go out and we're gonna go in and we're gonna help keep peace.' You gotta say that's pretty savvy."
[COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)](savy? Putin was responsible for the unrest in the first place)[/COLOR]

Trump, who [sharply criticized NATO]('https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-nato-past-comments/') during his presidency as "obsolete," [is now attempting to take credit]('https://abcnews.go.com/US/trump-seeks-rewrite-role-bolstering-ukraine-nato/story?id=83159716') for strengthening the military alliance amid the Ukraine conflict.
[COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)](of course he is - being the narcissistic idiot he is)[/COLOR]

Trump's praise of Putin was not an isolated incident, either. As recently as last weekend, for instance, Trump reiterated his view that the Russian autocrat is "smart."

"The smartest one gets to the top," Trump told a crowd of supporters at a [campaign rally in Georgia]('https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-kemp-perdue-commerce-georgia-rally-132419136.html'). "That didn't work so well recently in our country. But they ask me, 'Is Putin smart?' Yes, Putin was smart. And I actually thought he was going to be negotiating. I said, 'That's a hell of a way to negotiate, put 200,000 soldiers on the border.'"

The affinity between Trump and Putin is apparently mutual. On Russian [state television Tuesday]('https://twitter.com/JuliaDavisNews/status/1508943310483767302'), a host called for regime change in the U.S., before Biden's term officially ends, "to again help our partner Trump to become President."

John Bolton, Trump's former national security adviser, believes that Putin views Trump as useful toward his goal of [weakening the NATO alliance]('https://www.yahoo.com/news/romney-nato-would-rethink-us-relationship-if-trump-wins-in-2024-204421714.html').

"In a second Trump term, I think he may well have withdrawn from NATO," Bolton [told the Washington Post ]('https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/03/04/bolton-says-trump-might-have-pulled-us-out-nato-if-he-had-been-reelected/')in early March. "And I think Putin was waiting for that."

As Sen. Mitt Romney stated Tuesday, were Trump to win a second White House turn in 2024, NATO "would rethink whether they can count on the United States," and there's little doubt that such an outcome would please Putin. Seen in this light, the debate over the words Trump has used to describe the Russian president may have an impact on how he fares should he run in 2024.

And although Trump denies calling Putin a genius, he has frequently boasted about an identical compliment he says Putin gave him. Back when he campaigned for president in 2016, Trump often said Putin had praised him.

"Putin was very nice to me, he said Donald Trump is a genius," Trump said then.

But things change.

when are we going to be rid of this guy?

[HEADING=2]Russian Troops Suffer ‘Acute Radiation Sickness’ After Digging Chernobyl Trenches[/HEADING]

Several hundred [Russian soldiers]('https://www.thedailybeast.com/gchq-chief-sir-jeremy-fleming-says-russian-military-is-bloody-mess-shot-down-own-plane?ref=home?ref=home') were forced to hastily withdraw from the [Chernobyl nuclear power plant]('https://www.thedailybeast.com/fighting-rages-in-chernobyl-raising-fears-of-nuclear-fallout-says-ukraine') in Ukraine after suffering “acute radiation sickness” from contaminated soil, according to Ukrainian officials.

The troops, who reportedly dug trenches in a contaminated Red Forest near the site of the worst nuclear disaster in history, are now being treated in a special medical facility in Gomel, Belarus. The forest is so named because thousands of pine trees turned red during the 1986 nuclear disaster. The area is considered so highly toxic that not even highly specialized Chernobyl workers are allowed to enter the zone.

Local reports suggest that seven buses with the zapped troops arrived in Gomel early Thursday. Journalists on the ground have also reported “ghost buses” of dead soldiers being transported from Belarus to Russia under the cover of dark.

U.S. intelligence reported Wednesday that Russian forces began withdrawing from the defunct site. Russia said the withdrawal from Chernobyl was part of a pledge to scale back the invasion. But Ukrainian media says it is actually because the troops were “irradiated” from the contaminated soil.

“Another batch of Russian irradiated terrorists who seized the Chernobyl zone was brought to the Belarusian Radiation Medicine Center in Gomel today,” Yaroslav Yemelianenko, who works for the Public Council at the State Agency of Ukraine for Exclusion Zone Management, posted on Facebook. “There are rules for dealing with this territory.”

The Chernobyl facility fell to Russian control on Feb. 24, the first day of the invasion. Workers were on duty for more than 600 hours before being allowed a shift change. International concern grew immediately when Russian troops moved heavy military hardware through the area, kicking up radioactive dust without any protective equipment.

Forest fires in the area also raised concern about environmental contamination.

Digging trenches in the forest—considered the most contaminated area of the site—drew widespread ridicule from Ukrainians who work at the site.

The debacle is the latest in a series of missteps by the [Russian troops struggling to keep their footing in their increasingly failed war]('https://www.thedailybeast.com/gchq-chief-sir-jeremy-fleming-says-russian-military-is-bloody-mess-shot-down-own-plane?ref=home').

'Who?', the family member asks.
'Alabay', he replies matter-of-factly.
The stunned man says: 'Are you eating dogs or what?'
Again the soldier replies stoically: 'We have. We wanted some meat.
'We're sick of [ration packs]'.
The soldier goes on to describe the rape of a 16-year-old girl by 'our guys'.
An older woman who could be his mum asks 'Who did it?', to which the soldier says 'three tankers' in his unit.

A flurry of outraged replies followed, with Ukrainians pointing out dogs could one day get their revenge by chewing on the Russian soldiers' corpses.
One tweeter replied: 'It's just the bottom of the bottom ... Satan nervously smokes beside them.'
Another fumed: 'Filth! They will burn in hell.'
But in a twisted irony, dogs have also been seen chewing on the corpses of Russian soldiers, according to graphic tweets posted in the last few days.

Moscow accused Ukraine of sending two helicopters to strike a fuel storage depot in the Russian city of Belgorod on Friday. If confirmed, this would be the first attack on Russian soil since the war began on Feb. 24.

The governor of the border city said that two Ukrainian helicopters crossed into Russia flying at low altitude before launching airstrikes at an oil storage facility just 25 miles from the border. [Footage of the alleged attack]('https://twitter.com/sail_deep/status/1509764019451834410') shows several missiles being fired at the building before it erupts into flames. The video has not been independently verified.

Russian President Vladimir Putin’s spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said authorities were working to reorganize the supply chain for fuel to avoid the disruption of energy supplies. He added that Putin had been briefed on the alleged attack.

***“What has happened is certainly not something that can be perceived as creating conditions comfortable for the continuation of negotiations,” Peskov said, referring to the peace talks being held between Russia and Ukraine.

[HEADING=2]Zelenskyy: Retreating Russians leave many mines behind[/HEADING]
NEBI QENA and YURAS KARMANAU
Thu, March 31, 2022, 9:05 PM

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned his people early Saturday that retreating Russian forces were creating “a complete disaster” outside the capital as they leave mines across “the whole territory,” even around homes and corpses.

He issued the warning as the humanitarian crisis in the encircled city of Mariupol deepened, with Russian forces blocking evacuation operations for the second day in a row, and the Kremlin accused the Ukrainians of launching a helicopter attack on [a fuel depot on Russian soil]('https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-kyiv-europe-religion-moscow-f5ba4d2800457c74b93bae1a310965f0').

Russia continued withdrawing some of its ground forces from [areas around Kyiv]('https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-kyiv-europe-71fd5b05658aefacdcdc67910cbd14aa') after saying earlier this week it would reduce military activity near the Ukrainian capital and the northern city of Chernihiv.

“They are mining the whole territory. They are mining homes, mining equipment, even the bodies of people who were killed,” Zelenskyy said in his nightly video address to the nation. “There are a lot of trip wires, a lot of other dangers.”

Tiger King's [Joe Exotic]('https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/joe-exotic/index.html') has revealed why he filed for divorce from Dillon Passage days ago, citing a new love interest whom he hopes to marry.
Joe's lawyer Autumn Blackledge told [TMZ]('https://www.tmz.com/2022/04/02/joe-exotic-wants-divorce-dillon-marry-new-prison-lover/') that the [Netflix]('https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/netflix/index.html') personality has been seeing a man named John Graham as he serves a 22-year sentence for plotting to kill his nemesis [Carole Baskin]('https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/carole-baskin/index.html').
The former zookeeper, 59, reportedly said about the situation, 'God works in amazing ways.'

That was one disturbing, train wreck of a series!

I remember the libtarded NPR would not run a story about the Laptop stating it was Russian disinformation. Now the rest of us knew it was real. Today the whole world knows it’s real.
Mean while in bureaucrat land. Now I just listened to his statement and would like to know how this guy is a free man?

Mean Tweets Rule!

I bet that guy drinks two quarts of whiskey a week! lol
