Bound to Lose (Ukraine War)

[Forward the Light Brigade]

How can this be? Ukraine has pierced the lines of dragon’s teeth and trenches. Russians are on the run, vast sections of land are liberated and Russian soldiers are surrendering and begging for mercy and food. Putin sent them forward with no food or rations. You don’t need to believe me—just go to Youtube and see all the Videos of burning Russian tanks, planes and dead men. Russians are falling back in a panic. It will be over soon as Ukraine pushes to the sea and cuts the road to Crimea. Then blow the bridge and Russia will surrender. Putin will be finished if that Bridge is gone—and it will be by next week. Victory in just a month away! Just watch CNN!

The fascist forces of the Western elites are being destroyed, to no purpose but the satisfaction of their overlords in Washington and Brussels. When will Ukraine remember that no matter what, Moscow will be their neighbor and not Washington? They need to contritely mend fences after betraying Russia by accepting the Maidan coup and globalist domination.
Are you mocking KGB troll by posting Mearsheimer and this Ruzzian propaganda, or did you have too much vodka and out yourself as a Ruzzian agent?

[rmlew]

Hitting bridges and airfields are strategic.

Only for the people who aren’t smart. Wagner virtually madeno difference in Ukraine, but it had strong PR.

[Chauncey Gardiner]

Wait till those Ukrainian pilots take to the skies in borrowed F-16s.

Ukraine’s victory is closer than ever – but a shattered Russia is nothing to celebrate

[Right_Wing_Madman]

all those geo located photos and videos of them well past the ‘line’ are fabricated.

Here's the current SITREP in Zaparozha, as of 4 September:

The Ukrainians have not reached the first Russian fortified line of defense (Surovikin line) with the trenches, dragon's teeth, pillboxes, etc.

Not only has Ukraine not broken the Surovikin line, but there has been no direct fire between Ukrainian and Russian units on the Surovikin line.

The AFU current forward line of troops (FLOT) is in the Rabotino area. They are fighting Russian units, engaged in screening operations, west of the Surovikin line.

My military genius hero is George Patton. So once again you are wrong.

[Nervous Tick]

You heartily approve of America’s military alliance with Ukraine.
Phony pResident Joe Biden nominally leads our military.
Phony pResident Joe Biden nominally leads our department of state.
Phony pResident Joe Biden and his son have taken millions in bribes from the corrupt Ukraine.

Roll it all up, it is obvious you honor, revere, support, and endorse phony, corrupt, criminal pResident Joe Biden.

I am ashamed of you. Had you any decency you would be ashamed of yourself.

[Midwesterner53]

My entire military career was centered around destroying the Russians. I’m not changing at this late date.

[Nervous Tick]

You’re just that simple.

[Midwesterner53]

Obviously you have lived life as an armchair warrior.

[Nervous Tick]

Obviously you jump to arrogant conclusions based on zero actual knowledge.

During my years serving America, we were preoccupied with containing and defeating... the USSR. We were successful, too... the USSR collapsed back into its constituent states, one of which is Russia. Russia is now a sovereign nation, with putatively free elections... before you roll your eyes at that, consider the sorry state and amount of government manipulation of our own elections.

During your career, you confess that your job was to defeat Russia. So I guess you enjoyed being Bill & Hillary Clinton’s and Barack Obama’s and Victoria Nuland’s personal bitch? Did you and Milley dress up in your leather harnesses and doggie collars and follow your betters around on a leash as they collectively set fire to the world and manipulated the internal affairs of countries that deserved better?

Shame.

[Midwesterner53]

Bill Clinton signed my retirement certificate so I tore it up. I never heard of those other names during my career. I was in Germany when the wall came down and celebrated with everyone else. Up until that time, we trained for and watched for the Russians to pour across the Fulda Gap. My 6 years in Germany and other assignments all were predicated on the fact that the Soviets were our #1 enemy. While China has taken that title now, seeing Russia lose on the battlefield brings me great pleasure, apparently unlike you.

[Nervous Tick]

You do realize that those invaders pouring across the Fulda Gap would have come from... Ukraine? Belarus? Lithuania? Romania? Poland? Not just Russia. And they most certainly wouldn’t have been all ethnic Russians.

You are indeed a simple fellow to lay the whole thing off on Russia when it was the Soviet UNION we were fighting. What gives Ukraine clean hands in all that? Nevertheless thanks for your service.
