One of Putin's main goals in this year’s invasion of Ukraine was to quickly conquer the port city of Mariupol so that he could then devote more troops and resources to subduing Kyiv and the rest of the nation. But the defenders of Mariupol put up lionhearted resistance for months on end that defied all expectations and changed the course of the war. This episode looks at their remarkable and inspiring stand against evil.

The Ukie government is drafting kids who have never touched a firearm and sending them straight out to the front to face the Russian tanks, artillary, and rockets while they (Ukie fatcats, nato fops etc.) party in Kiev. Best thing that could possibly happen for the ordinary people ofUkraine would be for Russia to take over the entire place and not just the Eastern side of it.

Save the phony outrage. It’s disgusting to have someone the left and Democrats call a NAZI, YOU, mouth off. See how that works?

"Hold at all costs"

So, why did they surrender?

Because troops "hold at all costs" until they receive new orders. You don't understand that?

Naa, nothing brave. They took civilians as hostages and used them as human shields. The Russians and their allies didn’t want to harm them, so they moved slowly, and still achieved their objectives, emptying out the arsenals of Europe at the same time (my interjection), and now have fully liberated Mariupol.

No way to put lipstick on this pig.

“Disgusting to compare a Nazi militia with the 101st. Nobody in the 101st had SS tattoos.”

And none of the Ukrainian regular troops have tattoos either (or at least not to the degree of the Azovs). They are well-trained, true combatants, and as we’re now seeing, they would rather surrender to Russian-backed troops (knowing they’ll be sent home after the Neocons end their war) than terrorize the Russian-speaking civilians, as the Azovs did, which they now can try to explain away in court.

The "defenders of Mariupol" were almost exclusively neo-Nazi scumbags associated with Azov regiment. It's disgraceful that anyone could glorify such evil.

There are plenty of videos available online of civilians in Mariupol saying that they were used as human shields by the Azovs and that they were killing those that tried to escape.

In fact, some of those civilians had been held hostage in the Azovstal steel mill.

The propaganda whitewashing the evil that we have funded and trained in Ukraine is sickening.

I fixed it for you.

Here is a description buy a Russian soldier of his experience as an un-trained soldier forced into combat.

So Travis, didn't you serve in the same military as these guys? Does that make you a "nazi"? I don't think so, do you?

The original article says “lionhearted resistance”.

This is hilarious third rate propaganda—sound like North Korea.

No youu didn't. All you did was change a true statement into a big lie.
