Russia Says Destroys Three Ukrainian Naval Drones


More like we did. We’re the ones paying for all this.

I think we’ve committed more financial support than all of Europe and the rest of the world combined. We really are playing the world’s police. Seems we’re almost totally running NATO. One problem is that we’re already broke.

The war would have lasted fifteen seconds without the hundreds of billions of illegal dollars

wrong again LOL

don't forget, the Western aid didn't start flowing until a month or two after the invasion started ... Ukraine fought off Russia during all that time with just the weapons they had on hand, no Western help or money ... including managing to repulse a Russian encirclement of Kyiv

Ukraine is the Energizer Bunny ... just keeps going ...

Make Russia bleed. They’re like democrats. They’d do it to us if the roles were reversed. I’m waiting for another ‘REPLACEMENTS!’ scene like we saw in Dr. Zhivago.

Offering intelligence is fair game. It got rid of Che Guevara. Does this country feel guilty? Only the left.

Still can’t admit this is a Deep State proxy war I see.

Sleazy.

No.

Corrupt Ukraine isn’t worth risking WW3. Where do you think this ends? You think Russia folds? That won’t happen.

Again, we’re broke.

“You are so full of Obama.
The war would have lasted fifteen seconds without the hundreds of billions of illegal dollars being laundered by FJB through Ukraine.”

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I am full of Obama you say?

Obama refused to send US weapons to Ukraine, he only sent blankets! Remember?

Luckily, Trump swiftly REVERSED Obama’s pro-Russia policy by sending shiploads of high-tech US weaponry to Ukriane! And he drowned Russia with sanctions as well.

It’s partly thanks to Trumps anti-russia and pro-Ukraine polices, (plus Ukraininan courage and discipline), that in the end managed to completely thwart Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

So your stance of not being willing to help Ukraine is actually an OBAMA policy!
He just sent blankets to Ukraine! Sure, that’s not very expensive!

Cruise missiles striking submarines is a major escalation. The next escalation is nuclear in nature.

I'm going to miss electricity.

The still smoking wreckage used to be a landing ship.

Comparison with the ship before its destruction

If that is true then they destroyed about $750,000 worth of metal, repurposed jet ski engines, electronics, and three Soviet era bombs.

I suspect that the Russian submarine and its cruise missile launchers is worth a lot more than that, although I'm not sure if the Russian landing ship was worth much of anything since the Russians won't be using those ships except to evacuate Crimea.

400k killed Ukrainian is not a sign of winning. Unknown number of wounded & permanently disabled but guesstimated in the 10s of thousands is not a sign of winning. Nearly the entire territory east of the Dnieper River in Russian control is not a sign of winning. Demanding nations return military age men who sought refuge from the conflict is not a sign of winning. Dragging old men & young boys off of the streets to fight is not a sign of winning. Relying on the support of others to wage war is not a sign of winning. Going through the supplies quickly, via theft & selling them on the black market, shooting off missiles indiscriminately and then needing more, is not a sign of winning.

But of course you idiots wear blinders, and you never look for news or accept news, that tells the truth. You only can see the ones made specifically for the rose-colored glasses you wear.

Truth is, you do not care one iota about what the Ukrainian people face on a daily basis. Because I am sure that they would rather quit fighting. In fact many people voted for Zelenskyy who ran on a platform that he would end the hostilities that had raged on since 2014 in eastern Ukraine. are more than likely sorry that they did vote for him. Oh and they really are Nazis, but of course you can't accept that reality either.

Face it hoser, you haven't a clue about this conflict, the players, or the realities on the ground. what's sad is you do not want to know the truth, because the truth might make you sick that you have supported this act of evil that the U.S., the U,K, & NATO have desired and are now carrying out, but very poorly just like Biden's pullout from Afghanistan. You don't know & don't want to know because it's easier for you to be an ignorant idiots I guess.

Marcus, apparently, is too stupid not realize the game plan now is to try to force Russia into a ceasefire. No one in NATO thinks Ukraine has any chance of taking any territory back.

No, the Ukrainians and Biden regime lie all the time. And, fools like you repeat their lies.

Three months of a much ballyhooed counteroffensive and Ukraine has, at best, taken back some village that used to have 5000 residents. This after you and your ilk hyped it up and promised the Ukrainians would be advancing all the way to Crimea.

Ukraine isn't taking any territory back. The losers running the war for NATO now only hope to force Russia into a ceasefire.

We're giving them a real lesson today. Heavy doesn't accurately describe the level of casualties we have inflicted.

They wouldn’t have made it had it not been for massive US military equipment and money.
So technically, my prediction was right.

I think the pro-Russia stuff is mainly because the Biden government always lies and Ukraine was such a source of corruption. It’s generally a safe bet to believe and do the opposite of whatever Biden says. If Biden said Iran was bad, people would support Iran.

Couple that with the USA taxpayer is paying billions to Ukraine, while refusing to take care of business at home, such as illegal immigration, rightfully chaps people.

So that’s why you see Russian support here.

Putin also throws out bones for the easily swayed — he purports to be a defender of Nazarenes and allegoopposes all the gross tranny stuff. Never mind he doesn’t believe any of it. He just knows conservatives are so hungry for leader who they can support that he can push buttons. I

Ukraine is corrupt. The Bidens made money off Ukraine. But I'm still supporting Ukraine because I don't want them to be conquered by Putin.

Life is messy like that sometimes.

If Ukraine were to win this war it would be a pyrrhic victory. The country is already screwed.

I’ll be waiting for pics of burned out ships and damaged submarines. Until then, this is more of the same old crap

The artillery chasing Russian air defenses off snake island, combined with the sinking of the Moskva’s radar, and add in the coastal raid recently on the Crimean peninsula to hit an S-400 launch complex and radar site, and you can see how Russia’s defenses of Sevastopol have been peeled away. Then this happens. When they get F-16s they won’t be using Garmin’s strapped to the dash of Soviet trash to deliver their cruise missiles.

Half a dozen Kilo subs in the Black Sea. Do you think they’ll keep anymore at Sevastopol?
