Is that why Putin leveled their homes and killed tens of thousands of them?
bing
That's a common phrase from the pro-Putin club. Can you explain exactly what Putin might do that he hasn't already?
Apart from starting a nuclear war, just exactly what units of his military, or weapons systems could he deploy to Ukraine?
Or are you suggesting he'll just invite over more North Koreans and mercenaries.
—> trying to reestablish Russia as a USSR type world power.
You perfectly expressed the neocon/intelligence service propaganda pumped out every day for years.
—> So why isn’t he trying to bargain now for peace?
He does not want nato troops or weapons expanded into Ukraine.
Putin has to be the biggest globalist on the planet. He has sucked in and baited Europe and US into a military response that would satisfy all the desires of the neocons and war mongerers.
It’s pure propaganda when people say that Putin is a Russian nationalist. He’s destroying his relatively poor country by wasting resources on a war of attrition.
That’s what globalists want to do to US.
It’s a tough game to play. Isolate Russia economically and use targeted military interventions to destroy their oil production and distribution. Ports, pipelines and refineries.
“Can you explain exactly what Putin might do that he hasn’t already?”
The poster probably can’t, but US military officers probably could.

Sorry, President Trump, we can’t break the ISIS stronghold.
That would get generals retirement pensions.
And you have not even mentioned that the Kiev Rus were the original Russians who were a polyglot lot including a lot of Swedish Viking mixed in.
Good point
“use targeted military interventions to destroy their oil production and distribution”
WIKI [Nazi flak towers]
With concrete walls up to 3.5 m (11 ft) thick, their designers considered the towers to be invulnerable to attack by the standard ordnance carried by RAF heavy bombers at the time of their construction.
The Soviets, in their assault on Berlin, found it difficult to inflict significant damage on the flak towers, even with some of the largest Soviet guns, such as the 203 mm M1931 howitzers.
After the war, the demolition of the towers was often considered not feasible.
They were constructed in six months. The priority of the project was such that the German national rail schedule was altered to facilitate the shipment of concrete, steel and timber to the construction sites.

While you might want to focus of some YouTube videos, I generally focus on them all by looking at details well beyond you all who post them.
Long-form opinions, whether by a Mercouris or a Davydov ( who graced months of threads courtesy of a Freeper who did that, and occasionally still does ), are opinions. Generally they are part of a cottage industry of getting clicks and donations. Some propagandize leaning towards the Russians, and others propagandize leaning towards the Ukrainians. Still others propagandize for other causes. And they are opinions.
One can spend hours watching this stuff. Since I don't watch long-form YouTube opinion by Google/YouTube "content creators," -- meh.
Out of curiosity -- since you'd posted the links as you did today many months back -- I wager you don't know more of the delightful Mrs. Jamous, who became MacMahon, and is still in the news as of this year, with the Manchester police pursuing her over "legal fees." The characters involved in the whole tale, from decades back, have continuing stories. You can track them down if you want and post them to your GOPBriefingRoom.
Didn't watch the video except for seconds to learn of its length -- too long -- and obviously you didn't. But I didn't watch all the others pasted these last many years by various "partisans" for various causes, gain excepting to note the length of them and do such as look to those internet breadcrumbs which show how much BS is recommended by some Freepers. There's even one Freeper who links directly to GOPBrieifingRoom. Everyone's got an opinion, you and me included.
>> Ukrainians lived without relying on electricity in the 1840s.
Thats when most lived an individual house and a wood stove.
Now in the cities they rely on central heating steam plants, which are coal or gas, or use electric heating.
Russia attacks a heating and or power plant - whole blocks go dark and cold.
It is interesting that I often peeve someone with a comment drawn verbatim from an article or a link directly related to an article or comment, rather well demonstrate your comment above.
I too did not listen to an hour and a half of a long-form video, I just looked to gather five seconds of simple details.
This particular video and some YouTube info about it yields that Haiphong posts in the US, has done so since 2019, and his other links also show him as American. His substack tells "Journalism and analysis from a socialist and anti-imperialist perspective." And it promotes his YouTube videos because that's his business, with the grand 'American' help of very 'American' Google/YouTube in Menlo Park, California.
They're all cottage industries, and his seeks "But for as little as $70 per year or $7 per month...."
It's also not surprising, given our very own idiot Democrats and their more idiotic wing, Democratic Socialists of America, are at work even in our government. All the more reason to politic for conservatives and conservatives and conservatives.
“go dark”
I use solar lawn lights when hurricanes take out the power here in Florida.
Ukrainians are very adaptive. They don’t expect everything on a silver platter including $0 health insurance premiums.
“Didn’t watch the video except for seconds to learn of its length — too long”
There’s too much to look at nowadays to spend many minutes looking at a video.
It’s best to say things in as few words as possible.
Personally, I am hopdful Europe doesn't draw the US into a wider engagement to give that option a chance.
“Tomahawks? Probably now.”
Will never happen.
It’s a delusion.
Now why, pray tell, would I want to waste my time doing that?
Waste your time any way you wish, Hero and moderator for Pennsylvania, "Conservative Purist and Patriot."
Ukraine is probably the fourth largest arms maker in the world
Proven by video, the Ukie army has been supplying its forces exclusively with civilian vehicles. Civilian Pick up trucks and vans simply can not transport soldiers, ammo and weapons like a military deuce and a half can, and they must use roads where they are picked off.
