They might be finding surrender manuals in some of those French tanks and armored vehicles...
Interesting story. Nobody really wants to die for truly wretched causes...
“I wonder who lies more, the Ukrainian propaganda rubes, or the Russian propaganda rubes?”
All sides lie USA,NATO,Ukraine and Russia.
When isn’t our MSM lying to us?
When aren’t posters on Free Republic blowing smoke up our butts?
Any clown choosing a side in this war has “issues”
There are no good guys.
WW1 ghastly attrition rates.
Unfortunately...
There is nothing new under the sun.
Did you fall for this one too?
KHERSON, September 5, 2022. /TASS/. The Ukrainian troops' counterattack on Kherson has failed, Kiev suffered major losses, Kirill Stremousov, deputy head of the Kherson Region’s military-civilian administration, said on his Telegram channel on Monday.
"Kherson was, is and will be a Russian city <...> All operations and counterattacks have failed," Stremousov wrote.
Can you remind everyone how that actually turned out?
Why do you find someone on Youtube parroting TASS credible?
You’re too damned stupid to understand the countries had greater stability under them.
There are slave auctions in Libya currently.
No skin in the game, warmongering, coward.
Oh thank you for adding the Taliban, Khadafi and Saadam to the murderous evil Muslim regimes you are now defending, and it all has to do with central banks, okeedokee.
I’d rest my case here, but let’s leave it open because next I’m expecting defenses of the Imperial Japanese and Stalin.
Some of us saw what was going on. But those who got it are as scarce as hen’s teeth. But the Biden Worshipers... all they are concerned is keeping their god, Biden happy. And you are posting to a Charter member of the Worship Biden church.
The only thing I’ve ever said about this war is Putin/Russia started it and they are therefore to blame. And they can end it by stopping attacking.
I’ve also commented on the crazy Putin propaganda.
It even predates the war and I remember these guys posting Putin on the horse. So I’m trying to makes sense of why the Putin lovers are like they are. Latent homosexuality seems one reasonable theory.
It’s MAGA nor MRGA. Treason is another possibility.
What! And stop the flow of out tax dollars to "The Big Guy"?
I’ll say it again I only post about Ukraine to expose some of the kook things they say.
On this thread, they cannot resist defending Khaddafi’s Libya (several called it a paradise), Saadam’s Iraq, and now the Taliban Afghanistan.
Enough said. They are kooks and they are not conservatives.
BTW most of them will not answer when asked if they are conservatives or if they support Donald Trump.
I am not d fending them. I am pointing out that the US had zero altruistic intentions when overthrowing these regimes. It was all about creating puppet states that would be loyal to the west. Remember we had no issue with Saddam when he was killing Kurds and Iranians. Also ask yourself why we left Saudi Arabia alone after 9/11 and even allowed top Saudis to fly back home the night of 9/11.
Omg.
Do you know *why* multiple spellings are used?
😂😂😂😂😂😂
“A lot of Ukraine was Russian 14 years ago when George Soros starts his color revolution and installed his cousin.”
No, it wasn’t. 14 years ago was 2009. Russia was Russia and Ukraine was Ukraine. Five years later Russia invaded Ukraine and illegally “annexed” Crimea. Eight years after that it escalated its invasion big time, and illegally “annexed” parts of eastern Ukraine.
"Gaddafi also wanted to combat the strict social restrictions that had been imposed on women by the previous regime, establishing the Revolutionary Women's Formation to encourage reform. In 1970, a law was introduced affirming equality of the sexes and insisting on wage parity. In 1971, Gaddafi sponsored the creation of a Libyan General Women's Federation. In 1972, a law was passed criminalizing the marriage of any females under the age of sixteen and ensuring that a woman's consent was a necessary prerequisite for a marriage.[62]
On 25 October 1975, a coup attempt was launched by some 20 military officers, mostly from the city of Misrata.[63] This resulted in the arrest and executions of the coup plotters.[64] On 2 March 1977, Libya officially became the "Socialist People's Libyan Arab Jamahiriya". Gaddafi officially passed power to the General People's Committees and henceforth claimed to be no more than a symbolic figurehead.[65] The new jamahiriya (Arab for "republic") governance structure he established was officially referred to as "direct democracy".[66]
Gaddafi, in his vision of democratic government and political philosophy, published The Green Book in 1975. His short book inscribed a representative mix of utopian socialism and Arab nationalism with a streak of Bedouin supremacy.
From 1977 onward, per capita income in the country rose to more than US$11,000, the fifth-highest in Africa,[69] while the Human Development Index became the highest in Africa and greater than that of Saudi Arabia.[70] This was achieved without borrowing any foreign loans, keeping Libya debt-free.[71] The Great Manmade River was also built to allow free access to fresh water across large parts of the country.[70] In addition, financial support was provided for university scholarships and employment programs.[72]
Much of Libya's income from oil, which soared in the 1970s, was spent on arms purchases and on sponsoring dozens of paramilitaries and terrorist groups around the world.[73][74][75] An American airstrike intended to kill Gaddafi failed in 1986. Libya was finally put under sanctions by the United Nations after the bombing of a commercial flight at Lockerbie in 1988 killed 270 people.[76] In 2003, Gaddafi announced that all of his regime's weapons of mass destruction were disassembled, and that Libya was transitioning toward nuclear power." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libya
Great Powers are unconcerned with fairness. Any perceived risk to a Greta Power is an existential risk. No one will save Russia but Russia. NATO knows how this game works, so they started the war by regime change in UKR, knowing Russia would invade.
Syria had a Christian population of 1,500,00 in 2011 and today it is 300,000. Iraq had a low estimate of 1,200,000 Christians in 2002 and today it is 150,000. Libya had a Christian population around 300,000 in 2011 and today it is around 30,000. These brutal dictators kept the Islamic fanatics in line and prevented them from unleashing their campaigns of terror.
Excuse me why do kooks who posted a video about Ukraine want to go on about Afghanistan, Libya and Iraq?
Those were all nice places until evil USA got involved, meanwhile Christian Ukraine is the heart of all evil on Earth.
And all that means Russia can launch multiple wars in Europe and that is ok as well.
Sorry, there isn’t enough kool aid in the world to fill your glass.
Look closely at the picture. They ALL had the same background behind each person. It wasn't a pillow.
Oh the old argument that Putin is a slobbering retard and NATO tricked or forced him to invade Ukraine.
What a ridiculous pile of crap.
Putin invaded Ukraine for many strategic reasons, and because Biden had just committed a debacle in Afghanistan and announced we would never fight Russia in Ukraine, and that it might be ok if Russia launched a “limited incursion”.
No one forced Putin to do a damn thing.
The admiral is alive the report of his death was inaccurate/ false.
“Before Gaddafi was killed he had turned Libya into one of the wealthiest countries in the world”
Go read about it.
Or just sit back and believe your CNN Hillary Clinton stories about Libya instead.
That is the story you are promoting. That of Hillary Clinton.
And that of Biden in Ukraine.
I think you are on the wrong forum.
