Are 500,000 dead and wounded in Ukraine enough? Apparently not.
The Hill ^ | 09/02 | DOUGLAS MACKINNON

Posted on 09/02/2023 10:21:51 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

The United States government estimates that approximately 500,000 soldiers in the Ukrainian and Russian militaries have been killed or wounded on the battlefield to date.

Shockingly, the real numbers are surely dramatically higher as both nations are known to deliberately undercount their casualties. Sorrowfully, those numbers don’t include the thousands of Ukrainian civilians killed or the millions who have fled the country.

Have you not heard of the War of Northern Aggression?

The US has been meddling in Ukraine for many years. It has been an invasion but not a military invasion. This hasn’t gone unnoticed by the Russians.

They have known about the papers published in western sources about using men from eastern Europe to fight a war with Russia.

The US hasn’t been on some great humanitarian mission to help the people of Ukraine all these years. It is actually a mission to use the people and the land for our own interests and set up for this proxy war against Russia.

Don’t think so. This “war” will not end until there is regime change in Russia. The USA and NATO have planned this entire nightmare.

Think things are bad now, hold on.

This is the only thing I could find out about civil war in Ukraine and the Russians of course were behind it.

“Actually we were quite involved.”

So does that mean you are a Russian?

“Are you not American? I’ve never heard an American talk of his country that way.”

You posed that question to DarkSavant.

I’ve heard American citizens talk of the US that way: Especially during the Vietnam War, which was when I served. And those “American citizens” treated us like crap. And they haven’t changed. They were anti-American leftists then and they are anti-American leftists today, even if they claim to be otherwise.

“The only aggressor in this age is the US of A and I think you should get acquainted with the multiple attempted color revolutions in that area. The US has been salivating at breaking up Russia and turning it into a vassal state, just like they did in Europe when they blow up Nordstream.”

You have Russian talking points committed to memory, I see. You have already accused, tried, and convicted your own country — and I am assuming you are an American, because you show the Michigan state flag on your profile page — because that is what anti-American zealots do.

And, you’re pretty full of yourself, eh? Calling yourself a savant? You haven’t shown any evidence of such qualities here on FR.

“Ukraine was not a ‘peaceful country’.”

Yeah, because pro-Russia separatists started a civil war in 2014, aided and abetted and supplied and encouraged by Russia.

“Trump should have ‘resolved’ a ‘conflict’ from a war that Putlim initiated on February 24, 2022.”

Well, to be accurate, he initiated it in late February, 2014 when he invaded Crimea, and fomented civil war by stirring up the pro-Russia separatists in the east.

“One can be adamantly non-interventionist and still not be pro Russia.”

That’s true.

“One can also be anti NATO and not be pro Russia.”

That’s NOT true. NATO is a bulwark against Russian aggression; opposition to that, necessarily favors Russia.

“It is in the interest of the Heritage populations of the West that the Globohomo Empire be defeated and collapse. If it is Putin that does it, so be it.”

What an ignorant comment.

“Totally bogus. Colonel MacGreggor on Tucker’s interview last week said 50,000 Russians dead and 400,000 Ukranians dead.”

The totally discredited, and habitually aggrieved Douglas Macgregor?

“The war could’ve been avoided by ukraine, but the globohomopedos pushed.”

Grow up; and come up with a more mature label to describe those you oppose. You just sound childish.

“Ukraine was in a civil war for 8 years when Russia invaded.”

A civil war that Russia fomented, aided and abetted, supported and supplied.

You just doubled down on being childish. No mature adult uses phrases such as “GloboHomoPedos;” unless, of course, he or she is one.

She lives rent-free in YOUR head; not mine. So, you can tell her “Hi!”.
