“For the most part Russia has taken everything they tried for and haven’t been stopped.”

And the Russian terrorists try mostly for small children like the little girl in the following video along with their mothers and old people.

The only long-term solution is a partition. The remaining rump Ukrainian Obama-Nuland Puppet State can join whatever international pride-parading organization it wants.

Meanwhile, Russian troops have been expelled from several other towns and their supply lines are being decimated by HIMARS because Russian weapons don’t work and can’t protect them or shoot the HIMARS missiles down.

hehehe

Good, as long as it doesn’t last 20 years like Afghanistan.

Russia’s plans are defeated by a few Western weapons: Ukraine holds its own and Europe’s defenses

The following is an example of where this conflict will go worldwide. As the enemy is eventually destroyed, there will be consequences for all who have aided or abetted the evil axis.

If one hasn’t learned that “Generals” such as this are pure political propagandist with the blood of not only American serviceman, but perhaps millions of innocent victims on their hands, then believe every word coming out of this flunkies mouth..

I wont bother quoting this clown and his observations on Iraq and Afghanistan over the years he served, but the recruiting crisis we face is his and the like minded legacy

True. The Russians failed to shoot HIMARS missiles down with their magical, mystical S-400s.

I guess you haven’t been paying too close attention to the news. So I’m happy to help. The Soros EU has been pumping hundreds of millions of dollars into Russia’s war machine every single day. Anything Ukraine gets is small potatoes compared to that.

Not being a fanboi of Zelensky as you are does not mean one is a fan of Putin.

Zekensky is as corrupt as they come.

The countless billions that he receives comes with a feedback loop to our own politicians and bureaucrats. There are many lesser “hunter biden’s” pocketing cash for their masters.

Is it OK to have an objection to that, oh wise arbiter of all that is patriotic?

Are you receiving patriotic bribes from Ukraine, too?

Maybe Americans don’t want to fund in Ukraine what we refuse our own country?

Get bent.

Ok, just look at ground maps, Ukraine is doing so well.

Why does it keep getting increasingly red. No dog in the fight, but not buying the Wests propaganda. https://liveuamap.com/en

Just pay attention to the map. You can say all you want but the map tells you everything.

Don't be an arrogant intellectualoid (that's my job ;-P). I am well aware that the EU has been buying "Russian" oil & gas cleverly rebranded and rerouted to comply with the virtue-signaling "sanctions" scam.

The good side effect of this whole debacle is the impending collapse of the Green parties throughout the EU (and the Climate Cretins in the US). Their energy agendas are crap and their consequences are obvious for the world to see.

Pedo Bidet's Dark Winter is coming.

True, Gen Hodges was pretty much a staff remf. Played the game. Closest he came to battle was getting nicked by a piece of shrapnel when one of his own men tried to frag him.

And it got only that despite Russia overmatching Ukraine by several times in military capability. The Russian arsenal is vastly greater than any military aid the Ukrainians have received.

Visitors werent just flying into Kiev in March.
That they can now is because the Russians withrew.

If the Russians could do all you claim, they would have done it. They have bombarded rail yards, Dneiper bridges, electric substations, and etc. They have fired over 1000 long range missiles into the Ukrainian rear areas. These missiles have not been particularly effective on the whole, they miss a lot and that old lesson about ones opponent being able to fix or work around damage is being learned again.

And there are way too many targets for the available missiles.

That they havent should tell you that they cant do it.
Militarily it would be idiotic not to. It is not a matter of humanitarian forbearance, a silly idea.
