Let’s not use the liberal techniques to degrade a person rather than analyze issues of posted article.

Let remind you Ivan that your boss is throwing a huge hissy fit (”I really, really, really will nuke everyone...”) every few days over the West sending weapons to the Ukrainians. He would not be doing so UNLESS IT WAS MAKING A HUGE DIFFERENCE AND HE WAS VERY RATTLED BY IT.

I wonder why aren’t you excited over the perspective of getting a sizeable part of it back and not in a form you’d like.

So who is mind boggling stupid, you or Putin? One of you have badly mischaracterized the effect of the weapons being provided to the Ukrainians.

The only effect is that Russia, which was a predominantly US-friendly country just three months ago, is now rabidly anti-American and is going to do everything to hurt the American interests for at least a generation.

So far, the Ukrainians have only killed one-tenth the number of generals as Putin has killed or arrested of generals and high-ranking officials.

So, Putin laughs in the face of Ukraine.

So far, Ukraine has only destroyed one-tenth the number of tanks that Putin has destroyed by cannibalization, neglect and illegal sales on the black markets.

Again, Putin laughs in the face of Ukraine.

So far, Ukraine has only killed one-tenth of the number of military age men that Putin has caused to never be in the first place because of massive demoralization of the Russian people.

Again and again, Putin laughs in the face of Ukraine.

See what Putin has done to Russia, you over-educated, undrunk Nazis of the west, spoiled by your laziness and easy wealth, and think what he can do to you.

That is a bald faced lie. Russia has always aligned with and aided the enemies of America.

Ye, ye, ye:) I didn’t see any in either Iraq or Afghanistan. Imagine, if they did? Now, tell me why shouldn’t they?

Your precious Putin will soon be going to his grave with the legacy of being the greatest DESTROYER of Russia in Russian history. The last laugh will be on him in spades.

Actually yesterday was a big day of russian advances.
Russian forces control at least 80% of Rubizhne,maybe all.
Russian forces claimed control of the village of Tavrijske
About 1000 Ukes are surrounded near Izyum.huge loss for uke.
Rus are close to capturing Yampil and Lyman.Ukes blew up another bridge near Lyman.
Rus advance continues in Popasna.

To claim that the media propaganda is to blame may work with some Americans who don’t know much about the history of Central and Eastern Europe. It WON’T work with us in Central Europe. We don’t need any media propaganda to tell us what Russia and Russian despotism are all about. We know it from our personal experience. How can you dispute that?

When was Russia US-friendly? The Russian idea of the government is a total opposite of the vision of the American Founding Fathers.

The most rabid anti Russian, anti-communist people I know are friends who lived in Czechoslovakia until they came to America in the early 80’s.
