| [Bus Insider via MSN] During a secret meeting in Kyiv with CIA Director William Burns earlier this month, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was especially focused on the prospect of future US assistance in the ongoing war effort and whether or not Republican lawmakers in the House will continue to provide spending, according to The Washington Post. Anonymous sources told the outlet that Burns traveled to the Ukrainian capital at the end of last week to meet with Zelenskyy and discuss the agency's forecast of Russia's imminent military plans. The visit comes nearly one year after Russia launched an unprovoked war in Ukraine in February 2022. Burns' trip coincides with mounting casualties on both sides as a Russian assault in the east has forced Ukraine to respond while it simultaneously tried to conserve weapons and bodies for a future counteroffensive. During the Kyiv meeting last week, Zelenskyy and his senior intelligence officials were most concerned about ongoing US aid, sources told The Post, asking Burns how long Ukraine could expect the assistance to continue in the aftermath of Republicans taking control of the House and diminishing support for the war among the US electorate. Burns and crew are at the controls, shocking !

| #4 I haven't seen a flag in real life for a while, which is unfortunate as they mostly figured out which side is up. Burns' trip coincides with mounting casualties on both sides as a Russian assault in the east has forced Ukraine to respond while it simultaneously tried to conserve weapons and bodies for a future counteroffensive. In related news, the latest cinema make of All Quiet on the Western Front is pretty wild. |

| #3 We gotta raise our debt ceiling above the current $30 some trillion so Zelensky can continue to get people killed and resist negotiations? |

| #1 The project of those behind the green curtain here is to bleed the Rus and line their own pockets. Ukraine will find before long that they are just a disposable platform to launch the project from. |
