Destroying sources of energy in an energy crisis is profoundly destructive.

"They have fought honorably and bravely against the savages but they are out gunned and out manned."

A lot of idiots put their faith in Biden, the Princesses of the Pentagon, the 'Ghost of Kiev, and General rage Washington Zelensky. I am pointing my finger at you rrrod.

The myth that America has infinite amounts of stuff to give away needs to end.

The psychopaths in the Ukrainian government have already stolen 55 Billion is US Taxpayer cash, 5,000 Javelin Missile Systems, plus Heaven only knows what else.

Many months ago, some of us (in our right minds) predicted the criminals, liars, thieves, and scam artists in that Satanic rat’s nest called “Ukrainian government” would simply steal everything they get from the West and make a run for the door.

Those of us who made this prediction are vindicated, and only a fool would think “sending them more” will actually do anything other than fatten up the psychopaths’ offshore bank accounts.

"Ukraine must destroy the oil pipeline Russia is using to supply Europe as it is Putin’s money supply to support his war. The Soros, Obozo, Biden partnership destroyed the American Energy industry and gave Putin his money machine by signing the European Russian pipeline supply agreement. America literally gave Putin money to start and support a war,,,,,,,,,,"

What a pyrrhic victory that would be. Eurotrash would starve.

The “central committee”, or Deep State, is changing the narrative because reality is breaking through the psyops illusion that has simpletons frothing at the mouth over the heroic Zelensky and the perfidious Russians.

The comments on the Wapo piece demonstrate that leftards who think they are “intellectuals” have become intellectually lazy. They want a simple story about “their team” so they can feel self-righteous and root for “their team.” Hardly any of the commenters know anything about Ukraine or even relatively recent history. The comments make it seem like they think there really is a Ghost of Kiev.

Zelensky is likely to be deposed by a military that has been used as cannon fodder for no rational purpose by a US/NATO government that exists only because of a coup we engineered against a democratically elected government. Not any of the many whooping it up for a Russian defeat on Wapo have any idea that the Zelensky government has taken over most of the media, banned opposition parties, and is using the SBU kidnap, intimidate, or kill dissenters. All of this, along with wanting to avoid being drafted as cannon fodder, is part of the reason so many young Ukrainian men have fled to the west.

I found that it is futile to explain to certain people here the dangers for America of allowing Russia to occupy Ukraine.

That has to do with Russian intentions, geography, strategic position, resources, man power, Taiwan, China et cetera

If you don’t recognize the reality of any of that I can’t help you. While I have humanitarian concerns for the Ukrainians my only real concern is the strategic interests of the United States of America.

The attack on Ukraine is just the opening act of an all out attack by Russia and China to take advantage of the weakness of Biden and the democrats.

If not countered, the results will be catastrophic for America.

We invaded Iraq, Afghanistan and Libya for starters. And how many cruse missiles have we fired at random nations to create a political distraction over the last half century?

Stop with your ridiculous pseudo psychoanalysis.
Only an immoral DEMON would excoriate people who are being slaughtered by invaders.

Perhaps you are an emissary of Hell?

Long range artillery is not morally superior nor is it doing God’s work.

Yes, the law of unintended consequences is going to treat the real malefactors here - the US and NATO - to a horror show that the simpleton, pom pom waving, Biden/NATO narrative slurpers here can’t imagine. Biden began throwing Zelensky under the bus in LA Friday, and the government’s mouthpieces in the media are slowly shifting their rhetoric to prepare it for a collapse of the psyops illusions the public has about the Ukraine.

I hate war, but the US and NATO own this disaster.

Of course! And they have no more tanks, planes, or troops (because of mutinies, KIA, and desertion). These things have to be true because the MSM/techmedia/government have told us so. I hope Biden’s victory parade in Moscow will be broadcast. /sarc/

“Ukraine must destroy the oil pipeline Russia is using to supply Europe as it is Putin’s money supply to support his war….”
******************************************************

Yeah, let’s have Biden encourage Ukraine to do that. It would be consistent with the Biden Globalist regime’s every move actually NOT being in Ukraine’s interests and certainly would be AGAINST AMERICA’S INTERESTS.

The Russians would be relieved of paying transit fees to Ukraine and the Germans would be forced to open the Nord Stream 2 pipeline. BRILLIANT!
