” the News/Activism forum, on a thread titled Russia gives Ukraine hours to surrender stricken city of Mariupol in ultimatum, Eleutheria5 wrote:
Odd that VP is demanding a surrender instead of just rolling in and taking it. What’ll he do if they don’t surrender”
Ah.... Roll in and take it.
So its okay for every country to invade a neighbor, as long as its "next door". I love your disingenuous terminology- "Putin's military action".
That was a nice car. Couldn’t they have lowered their round count and preserved some liquidation value for the car? Sure, you gotta call Auto Glass Specialsts and replace some of the leather and the headliner, but was all that really necessary guys?
By not at least making a nod to remaining within accepted international law, Russia loses any leverage they might have had by shouting "Nazi, Nazi, Nazi", and rightfully so. They are now an international pariah.
If the guy who broke into my house is giving me a warning, it tells me that he wants more than my wife.
You sure love mother Russia and its leader, don’t you
Would you be more supportive of the guy if he upended a country in the Middle East, American-style?
And if they do that to cities it will be the biggest pyrrhic victory in modern times. Putin will be a pariah to a majority in his country.
So, he’s a vicious bastard, just like many of us have been saying?
(And you’ll forgive me if I don’t buy your penultimate sentence. A captive population living under threat of imprisonment or worse doesn’t love its captor.)
FR Putin haters can all get up and howl at the moon tonight—that should stop him for sure!
Once Mariupol falls, as it certainly will, that’s the Russian hope. But at least one site soberly assessing the situation suggest that the Russian units around Mariupol have been so worn down, its not likely to happen.
It’s Russia first stupid.
Um…you don’t understand that about 50% of Ukrainians are pro-Russian? And many speak Russian as their first language? You must have gone to an American public school.
They bluff a lot. Just like that fake hypersonic missle stunt.
“The civilian casualty count from the US interventions in the Middle East run into the hundreds of thousands”
Are you Code Pink?
Maybe AOC, Omar or Talib. Or Bernie maybe.
Your ludicrous comments reinforce its communist anti-American supporting Putin and spewing their agit-prop.
Yemen is real.
They have almost 400,000 casualties from that war.
Denial will not make it go away.
(And you think I'm with Code Pink? Yours is the liberal [that is, emotional] response, not mine.)
“Oh yeah, the UN.”
And I suspect he did go to the UN, and got the same F-off treatment as he got from the US, the EU, and NATO.
Perhaps the next time he wants to discuss something, he’ll be taken a bit more seriously.
Oh, shut up! Loser. You’re no Winston Churchill, and Zelensky is not giving anyone false hope. It’s the Ukraine people and soldiers who are energized with the highest possible morale in their hearts, minds and will... Determined to expel the invaders from their homeland.
Zelensky doesn’t control their fate... they control their own defending their livelihoods, families and homeland.
What have you done in your life to rise to such a challenge... LOSER!
When was your last commission as a commander on the battlefront in a war? What battles did you win? What expertise do you have to make such pretentious and judgmental statements about who will win, who will lose or when to surrender?
Odds can never be overcome by attitudes of defeatism, hopelessness, and surrendering to statistical certainty blathered out by idiots like you who probably can’t operate a squirt gun.
If our generals thought like you in 1776. Today we would be all singing... “God Save The Queen” or perhaps living under the Swastika saluting with the words “Sieg Heil”, if Churchill cowered and Britain’s people resigned to the worlds opinion and attitudes like yours that defeat was inevitable because Hitler had the air power and superior numbers to defeat and occupy the country and who also demanded Britain’s surrender.
Another keyboard clueless clown.
“Yemen is real.
They have almost 400,000 casualties from that war.
Denial will not make it go away.”
You claim the U.S. has killed 400,000 citizens in Yemen?
