Kyiv Independent
When U.S. President Donald Trump paused military aid to Ukraine last month, the man described as his “spiritual advisor,” Pastor Mark Burns, backed the decision. This week, Burns is urging him to send Kyiv more tanks, fighter jets, and air defense.
Burns’s dramatic shift in stance comes after a trip to Ukraine where he witnessed the atrocities committed by Russia first-hand, visiting the site of a missile attack in Kryvyi Rih, which killed 20 people, including nine children. Speaking to the Kyiv Independent’s Chris York, Burns urged people to “throw politics out the window” and support Ukraine in its fight against the “pure evil” of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Game changer?
Unlikely unfortunately.
He was taken on what that vile pig VanZkov refers to as a “propaganda tour.”
But this might be the first Maga Damascene conversion so far.
Is it important that a black man is saying these things?
I’d say yes, because African-Americans tend to be more engaged in matters closer to home.
Another highly-principled African-American; Malcolm Nance, volunteered his skills to the Ukrainian army.
A third high-profile African-American, Allen West, was highly supportive of Ukraine, but in more recent years went all trumpy-wumpy unfortunately.
He did have something interesting to say about the China tariffs yesterday though :
“When asked how he would define victory in the Cold War, Reagan responded, “We win, they lose.”
We defeated the Soviet Union economically, not militarily. And it was China who learned the lesson of using free market capitalism to advantage communism.
Stupidly, we granted the ChiComs entry into the WTO and most favored trade nation status. What have we gotten in return? The ChiComs have enacted policies of forced technology transfers and theft of intellectual property. They unleashed a biological weapon attack against America and the world with the Wuhan virus killing millions. They have unleashed a chemical weapon attack against America with fentanyl killing over 250K Americans. They have infiltrated tens of thousands of single military age males illegally into our country. They are poisoning the minds of our society and spreading their propaganda, such as support of Hamas by way of Tik Tok and other telecommunications platforms.
It’s time that we win and they lose. I fully support crushing the Communist Chinese by way of economic isolation leading to their collapse. I will not surrender to the ChiComs, this is a gut check moment for Americans. Who’s with me?”
We’re 30/40 years into Chinese economic crap. This began in the early 90s. Now everything I seem to purchase comes from China and worst who do you think owns the majority of the $34 trillion dollars in debt the US has. And now with Trump playing games with the rest of the world, seems US treasuries are not favored. Yes I’m with you Scradgel, but it’s going to hurt as the US transitions away from this country.
