ROFL. OK, kettle. You're black too.
Russia will soon run out of warm male bodies and prisoners to continue invasion of Ukraine.
Good, we can stop giving Ukraine billions of our tax dollars and advanced military weapons then, right?
Right?

The Pentagon will invest $216 million to expand and modernize Aerojet Rocketdyne manufacturing facilities in Arkansas, Alabama, and Virginia in an attempt to boost production of rocket motors used in a host of missiles given to Ukraine.
The investment, announced Friday afternoon, comes amid a Pentagon effort to replenish depleted weapon stockpiles.
“This critical investment will modernize rocket propellant and motor production in the United States, in addition to creating technical and skilled labor jobs at multiple domestic facilities,” Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks said in a statement.
The deal was brokered by the Pentagon’s Office of Manufacturing Capability Expansion and Investment Prioritization. Pentagon acquisition Chief Bill LaPlante and Doug Bush, the Army’s top weapons buyer, visited Aerojet’s Camden, Arkansas facility, one of the sites slated to benefit from the investment, in August.
“These funds will build upon our own significant investments in modern, efficient facilities and innovative technologies and processes to design and develop advanced propulsion systems to support the defense missions of tomorrow,” Aerojet Rocketdyne CEO Eileen Drake said in a statement.
Meanwhile:
It is kind of sad you must misrepresent facts to slander others. You just CONTINUE to humiliate yourself by not comprehending.
Try to understanding the context & parody.
If you are unaware, I offer clarity:
In 1998 at 20 years of age, [Twenty-four years ago] Zelensky joined his local team competing in the KVN comedy TV show.
International competitions were held where teams (usually college students) competed by giving funny responses to questions and/or showing prepared sketches.
GET THE PARODY:
The initial Cossack costume was torn off before dancing. This parodied the rugged, tough Cossacks men now shown as feminized DRAG queens?!?!!
If you don’t get it that’s OK. The audience found it hysterical!

I don't care about Ukraine or Russia.
I don't want to die in a nuclear holocaust. I don't want no more brother wars. I don't want my tax dollars being used as a slush fund for corrupt politicians.
“Russia will win the war of attrition.”
Don’t think so.
There is People’s rebellion [Revolution?] that Putin is trying to squash thru imprisonment of protestors. The population is sabotaging Russian factories.
Fires are happening all over Russia. A column of smoke rose into the sky about Moscow with the official news agency TASS reporting a small fire had briefly broken out and had been quickly extinguished with no casualties. Nothing to see here, apparently. Apparently, the fire occurred at the headquarters of Russia’s Defence Ministry, very close to the Kremlin, perhaps is mere incidental details. However major fires are increasingly common in Russia as reported by OSINT agency Molfar details.
Also, Russian males voted with their feet exiting & continuing to cross borders to escape. Actually, did you know, Putin had to confiscate Passports of Russian officials to prevent them from fleeing abroad?

I am a Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the four hundred and sixteenth day of the war.
Day 416: April 15
“Russian airborne units continued substituting damaged Wagner formations, and yesterday, Russians reached a peak concentration of forces. The excess manpower allowed Russians to set a record for a one-day advancement inside Bakhmut, although it came at a huge cost, as, simultaneously, Ukrainians approached the record of taking Russians captive.
Last time I told you that Wagner forces got degraded to the point where they could not maintain the necessary intensity of attacks and were urgently reinforced by conventional forces. This is a significant development because, previously, the Wagner Group competed with conventional forces and they were doing everything on their own, so the fact that Wagner forces no longer operate independently on any section of the front line means that they were incurring unsustainable losses.
The freshest reports suggest that Russian conventional units continued reinforcing Wagner Group. Today a lot of Russian sources reported about the operations of Russian airborne forces in the southern, central, and northern parts of the city. A rapid reinforcement allowed Russians to not only prevent the culmination of the Wagner forces’ offensive effort but also increase the intensity even further. A Ukrainian soldier from the 93rd Mechanized Brigade said that if previously Russians operated in small assault units comprised of 5 to 10 troops, then from yesterday, each assault is conducted by 20, 30, or even 40 troops.
First of all, Russian forces once again attempted to establish control over the grain elevators. Last time Russian here were defeated in a matter of hours because they failed to secure their flanks, and got cut off from the mainland. But it seems like Russians learned from their mistake, increased the scale of their operations, and leveraged the reinforcements provided by the Airborne division. Russians rapidly relocated many troops to Rose Alley and started pushing in every direction. While a substantial portion of Ukrainian troops focused on repelling this attack, Russian forces attacked the grain elevators. As a result, a small Ukrainian group of soldiers in the north had to retreat to avoid complete encirclement, which allowed Russians to secure new positions. Russians also tried to capitalize on recent gains immediately and maintain the momentum, so they made an intense push on the area that they had been shelling non-stop for a week.
A huge inflow of fresh troops that could be sent in large numbers to storm strong points allowed Russians to make significant progress, however, it came at a huge cost.
Today, many sources reported that Ukrainians set a record for the number of Russians taken captive while being on the defensive. By the evening, Ukrainians captured almost half a hundred troops and killed many times more, most of whom were reportedly mobilized soldiers. One of the Ukrainian soldiers that published the footage said that Ukrainians also exploited the fact that Russians concentrated their forces on such a small area and focused almost all artillery fire on the Russian positions.
The artillery fire allowed Ukrainians to break Russian momentum and slowly start conducting limited counterattacks. So far, several small but successful assaults were reportedly conducted in the north and northeast. The main goal of Ukrainians right now is to prevent Russians from consolidating control over the outer edge of the city. This edge allows Ukrainians to counter all assaults toward the village of Khromove, and Russians seek to establish control over it at any cost to cut off one of the main supply roads to Bakhmut.
Overall, the rapid reinforcement of the Wagner Group with airborne units allowed Russians to overwhelm Ukrainians with the sheer number of troops and secure control over a lot of blocks. Some Ukrainian fighters said that they are preparing to face something similar from the south. The Battle for Bakhmut approaches the end, and since it looks like Wagner forces were destroyed because Ukrainians are mostly dealing with the conventional Russian army, it seems like Ukrainians achieved their objective of destroying the Wagner Group before the counteroffensive operation. Although it is possible that the Russian High Command just decided that the hardest part is done, so they should save at least some Wagner units for some hard task in the future.”
yup orcs, pure propaganda
I offer clarity
You offer propaganda.
ABSOLUTELY “No clarity”
Sorry, You only offer mean-spirited Russian propaganda unsourced comments.
“And you think Ukraine males are not exiting Ukraine?”
CORRECT:
The UN says that as of 21 June, there have been over 3 million “cross-border movements” back into Ukraine, but says this number does not refer to individual refugees.
Ukraine’s border force had previously said people were crossing back into the country at a rate of about 30,000 a day.
Some are returning to areas of Ukraine such as the capital Kyiv, which were threatened by Russian army advances at the start of the war, but which are now considered safer.
In May, Kyiv mayor Vitali Klitschko said the city’s population was back to two-thirds of its pre-war level.
Where are people fleeing inside Ukraine?
The UN’s International Organisation for Migration (IOM) said in May that more than seven million people remain INTERNALLY displaced:
27% of refugees were from the Kharkiv region
16% from Kyiv
16% from the Donetsk region in eastern Ukraine
24% indicated their homes had been damaged or attacked in the war
The IOM estimates that more than half of the people who are internally displaced are women. Many are particularly vulnerable because they are pregnant or have small children, have a disability or are a victim of violence, i,e. rape etc by invaders.
