House Democrat Banderites Pass Pro-Ukraine War Finance Package

Democrats in the House of representatives passed a bill to give Ukraine eight billion dollars in loans for war that probably would never be repaid. The Democrat party is the solid Ukraine war monger party so much so that they may be regarded as Banderites. Eighteen House Republicans were collaborators. President Trump would probably veto the bill if it ever reached his desk.

Banderite is a popular term these days in Ukraine apparently, while for Russians the term means, in effect- fascists. When Russians call the Ukraine opposition fascist, in some cases they are referring to the Banderites.

Gemini explained the meaning and origin of the term Banderite.

Gemini– “A Banderite (or Banderovite) is a term that historically referred to members and supporters of the radical, ultra-nationalist faction of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN-B), which was led by Stepan Bandera during World War II. [1, 2]

Because the term has a highly complex, dark, and fragmented history, its meaning changes significantly depending on who is using it. [1, 2, 3]

Historical Origins (World War II Era)

• The Split: In 1940, the OUN split into two factions. The younger, more radical wing followed Stepan Bandera and became known as the Banderites. [1, 2, 3, 4]
• Nazi Collaboration and Resistance: The Banderites initially collaborated with Nazi Germany during the 1941 invasion of the Soviet Union, hoping the Germans would recognize an independent Ukrainian state. When Germany refused and arrested Bandera, the relationship fractured. The paramilitary arm of the faction, the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), went on to fight against both the Soviets and the German forces. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
• Atrocities: During the war, the UPA and Banderite factions were responsible for massive war crimes, including the ethnic cleansing and slaughter of up to 100,000 Polish civilians in the Volhynia massacres, as well as participating in localized anti-Semitic pogroms against Jewish populations. [1, 2, 3]

Divergent Modern Perspectives

Today, the legacy of the Banderites is a major focal point in the modern political and cultural landscape: [1, 2, 3]

In Poland and Israel: For Poland and Jewish communities, the term remains deeply offensive and directly tied to brutal wartime atrocities, ethnic cleansing, and collaboration with fascist regimes. [1, 2, 3]

In Russian Discourse: The Russian government and state media heavily use “Banderite” as a pejorative and propaganda buzzword. In this context, it is applied broadly to almost all modern Ukrainians, the pro-Western Ukrainian government, or anyone supporting Ukrainian sovereignty, framing them as modern-day fascists or neo-Nazis. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

In Ukraine: Perspectives within Ukraine are varied. In Western regions especially, Bandera and his followers have been heavily romanticized since the 1990s purely as symbols of fierce anti-Soviet resistance and state sovereignty. Many modern Ukrainians embrace the slogans historically tied to the era—such as “Slava Ukraini” (Glory to Ukraine)—as expressions of patriotism against modern foreign aggression, often decoupling it from the historical atrocities committed by the OUN-B. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]”

Democrats Hope to Gridlock Government In Mid-Term Election

Democrats and left leaning Republicans hope to pull President Trump's political teeth in the November Mid-term elections by handing him a platter of losing Republican House and Senate seats. If they can accomplish that, President Trump's MAGA agenda will finally die an unnatural death Democrats have sought since before his first term of office.

American voters tend to believe that if one party is underperforming or if hate Trump syndrome has overcome them, that switching to the sole viable alternative political party will fix the problems facing the nation or that would provide better pork to-themselves. That whipsaw assumption is simply incorrect.

Neither Democrats or Republicans have a rational policy to balance the Federal Budget, pay off the public debt, transition to sustainable green economics, develop an emergent economic plan that is realistic for workers displaced by A.I. inroads (about all grocery store jobs and truck driving could be done by A.I. for example). Both parties have a majority or a large number of 5th columnists seeking to continue the Ukraine war until Zelensky and the EU have recovered all of Ukraine, made it part of N.A.T.O. and made President Putin stand trial in Holland, neither party knows how to stop using plastic and creating billions of tons of microplastics annually, or to end the increase of atmospheric global CO2 concentration that is at 432 p.p.m. today- it does create a greenhouse effect and increased CO2 lowers the IQ of humans-especially that of politicians.

Neither party knows how to create a universal minimum basic income to simplify a wealth of social challenges from unemployment, incarceration, retirement, health and AI displacement unemployment to disability, transport and discrimination. Neither party knows how to coordinate that basic income with a transition to sustainable economic policies and restructuring of the nation's economy to conform to empirical environmental and demographic challenges successfully. Republicans at least know how to secure borders that are requisite for a polity to have realistic political self-determination of national policies.

Without a clear and realistic agenda and without voting on issues the tragicomedy of contemporary U.S. politics will continue regardless of who has the winning edge in November. Democrats could bring two years of political impotence to Washington D.C. regarding partisan priorities if they prevail. Republican victory would give President Trump's final two years an opportunity to develop whatever it is that he has been working on or planning with some political support in Congress.

Iran Looking to Democrat Party Allies in Order to Claim Victory Through the War Powers Act

 It is remarkable that the Dept of War can't secure the Strait of Hormuz from Iran fast boats and other vectors. Maybe they should have a contest to invent cheap defenses and incentivize free enterprisers since the navy seems slow to adapt. Maybe that's why the Sect of the Navy was fired recently.

  The camouflaged rubber ducky packed with c4 is an obvious favorite. The sky-dropped Japanese float bubble gambit of nitro glycerin is another, as are hordes of camouflaged drones and surface effects miniatures flying two meters to ten over the surface and directed by airborne AI. It should be easy for do-it-your-selfers to innovate dozens of defense against small boats in an hour or two.

  The Strait should be peaceful and uneventful so solar powered littoral twin hull kayaking journeys can resume for tourists in some future looking scenario.

Democrats are looking forward to the end of April when the !973 War Powers Act kicks in forcing the President to withdraw U.S. forces unless congress including the Senate gives permission to continue the conflict. Democrats plan to force the President to end the war in order to keep the Strait of Hormuz in Iranian control with no contest. That might help keep oil prices high and for Democrat theorists, harm Republicans mid-term elections chances if people are tired of paying more for gas.

I am not sure the plan would go according to plan. It is probable the Iranian war planners also were aware of the deadline and have been counting on a Democrat party victory to give them the opportunity to claim victory.
