“”exact a heavy toll on Ukrainian soldiers.””

“”We strongly believe that we will succeed,” he told the outlet.””

Which is it?

The neocons don't care about Ukrainian casualties. For them, the counteroffensive is a win/win situation. If the counteroffensive regains some territory, Ukraine will be flooded with arms and money. If the counteroffensive fails, Ukraine will be flooded with arms and money.

Meanwhile the invasion of our country continues by animals called MS-13 that make the Russians look like Teddy bears, and that’s OK

“The neocons don’t care about Ukrainian casualties.”

It’s almost like the neocons are happy to see Ukrainians die.

Probably something to do with reducing the “surplus population.”
