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.

Did you listen to this? It refutes the misconceptions about Nazisim in the ranks of Azov. That was true in early 2014, but it is not anymore

You may be right that Ukraine will lose, but I sure hope, for the sake of the free world, that you are wrong

Wow, the incorruptible and vaunted wikipedia says that? The site that could never be infiltrated by armies of Russian trolls says that? Well I’m convinced

Exactly right. Weird how dark the Russophiles’ thinking has become. Thank you for bringing some sanity to the discussion

You, sir or madam or other, only think what TV tells you to think.

Endlessly repeating Russian propaganda won't make it true.

The Russian army is suffering heavy losses, and is having trouble keeping soldiers and recruiting new soldiers.

"With thousands of troops dead, Russia seems desperate for new soldiers—allowing enlistees as old as 50, U.S. defense official says."

115 Russian national guard soldiers sacked for refusing to fight in Ukraine

Russian mum's fight to save sons from Putin's war

"What on earth are you talking about? They had no plans to sign a contract," was her response. "They've been in the army for three months. They've only held a gun once. They've only been to a firing range once. Most of the time they've been shovelling snow."

That's the second article I have provided today with a Russian stating that Russian soldiers are sent into battle with no training. That's why they get killed or captured, or refuse to keep fightng.

The US Deep State globalists at war with Russia using Ukraine’s armies by proxy just got their asses handed to them.

The slant BBC puts on that story is large enouogh to calll them liars for it and to call YOU a liar for mentioning it. For stories, when Ukrainians have allowed their territory to be used for 30 odd NATO/deep-state biowar laboratories and to shell and terrorize the Donbas, then what happens is not “Putin’s war”, it’s Russia’s war.

“Did you listen to this? It refutes the misconceptions about Nazisim in the ranks of Azov. That was true in early 2014, but it is not anymore”

Really? You sure about that? If that were true, I could do a websearch for, say, Azov Nazis between 2018 and 2021, and nothing would come up equating them.

Right?

Right???

Well, here is a link that does just that, with one little clicky-poo:

Go ahead. Click it. Now, what were you saying?

You are not doing a very good job of reciting the Russian propaganda talking points. No borscht for you today.

No, I’m not at all. I view Hitler’s agenda as among the most evil blights that’s ever gone mainstream. But I want to ask you this: Even if 50 percent of the UKR military were white supremacists (in actuality, it’s less than 1 percent (and comparable to the rate in most western militaries)), would that justify Russia’s war of aggression on their west-leaning nation?... To hear people like you, who seem otherwise reasonable, make these kinds of argmuments, reminds me of American liberals saying “George Floyd was killed by a cop, therefore let’s abolish the police.” It is honestly discouraging for me to see that people who seem otherwise reasonable, like you, apparently unable to say “Russia is out of line here.” What are your thoughts?

ganee — your tune continuously changes

you first said “a real WAR between Russia and Ukraine would last 24 hours..”

Then it became “...48 hours”

Then “...72 hours”

I’m guessing it would soon be “72,000,000 hours”
