MilitaryLand.net It’s time to look into the future and talk about what awaits us in 2024. In a few weeks, it will be ten years since Russia annexed Crimea and invaded Donbas. Now the focus on will shift back to the beginning of the website: Ukrainian regular and volunteer units. If you like the maps, please stay tuned for more details.
*** Great interactive maps with viewer controlled Map magnification tool to use for each Front!

>Good news:
“We brought home warriors of the Armed Forces and the National Guard, border guards and Navy servicemen. Most of them are soldiers and sergeants. But there are also officers. It is a really good day for Ukraine. Some of these warriors are defenders of Mariupol and Azovstal. Some of those freed today were not even initially known to be in captivity. They were considered missing. It is very important to keep hope alive.”<
When are you and mommy and all the other zeepers going to buy 1 way tickets to Ukraine and join the Uke military?
Zelensky will take anyone from kids to old ladies so you all don’t have any excuses not to go.
And how about your kids? They’re siting around enjoying life in America. Take them with you to fight for your perv hero Zelensky and his corrupt government.
Put your money where your mouth is.

As El Rushbo said about liberals…
“They don’t understand they are the entertainment!”
LOL

The way the U.S. government treats those who serve is a tragedy of epic proportions.
My husband was a Vietnam Vet who died from Agent Orange poisoning. For years the VA made him jump through hoops. He finally hired an attorney, Katrina Eagle, who successfully secured his benefits.
T2T has a program for homeless Vets who need help with housing. Here’s the link: https://t2t.org/homeless-veteran-program/#:~:text=The%20Tunnel%20to%20Towers%20Foundation%20has%20reached%20an%20agreement%20with,construction%20begins%20Q2%20of%202024.

I see you’re still stuck in grade school.
Typical zeeper.
From what I’ve experienced so far, she and Speedy generally start a thread and then post various bits of different information about how the war is going from the Ukrainian point of view.
I personally like this format very much. It allows me to learn as much as possible in the shortest amount of time. It’s a one stop shop and I got what I need, and for that I am grateful to those who post this information and to Free Republic for this forum where this information is freely given.
It is for this reason that I donate as I do, in spite of some of the most horrid posters I’ve ever encountered anywhere in life doing their best here to deny this information be made available.
And they are a curious group to me.
Given that Ukraine is our friend and is being attacked by our official and traditional enemy since the end of WWII, I am astonished that “conservatives” at FR would side with Russia against Ukraine for whatever their reasons.
But this, too, is all part of the greater learning experience and so it, too, has value.
History repeats itself and we are relearning some of history’s lessons first hand, with these posters supplying first hand dialogue, the same as must have been true “back in the day”, whenever that day was. Curious how the same templates get reused again and again throughout human history and how the same roles get recast and the same lines get re-said now the same as it was then. Deja vu all over again. Same as it ever was.
Personally, especially in these times now, I pity those on these threads who take such pride in calumny, those whose “mouths” are condemning them daily, again and again, especially so the Christians who should know the 7 things God hates and abhors, as told in Proverbs 6:16-19. But they do it anyway and with such vengeance and pride, too. Good luck with that.
In my ever so humble opinion, these are very valuable threads full of all sorts of good information about bad people doing bad things and about those who counter them.
Thank you for that thoughtful post, spetznaz.
It certainly appears that FR is suffering a plague of pro-Moscow trolls on the Ukraine issue. About six seem to me to be fulltime professionals. Maybe even bots? On the other side I can only think of one, and that's UMCmom. So maybe she felt that she needed to pile it on. I just scroll past all UToob links anyway, so it didn't affect me one way or the other.
But I would LOVE to see this posting of pictures disabled, though. Seems about 98% are just posted to show how cute the poster can be, with no intellectual content whatsoever. Wasting my time and bandwidth. If there's a chart or map to be presented, a link would do fine.
Cheers

Thank you.
I appreciate your kind and thoughtful response.
My daily post with comments is an attempt to ‘counter’ propaganda: Russian talking points.
It is understood that propaganda ignores facts.
Science follows factual truth of evidence wherever it might lead.
So, the true ‘antidote’ to propaganda is finding factual truth through research of competing claims based on evidence. This is why I research to follow the “Daily Ukraine Update” post with factual, not opinion, driven comments.
I have learned much from other Freepers & attempt to
share information as well. My goal is simply to share factual information and just ignore topic posed from distractors and detractors. I recognize those with opposing views are entitled to the same freedom of thought I enjoy.
"pro-Moscow trolls"
+, They most likely will ignore you.
It is most telling that having an America first position makes you a dirty Ruzzian troll in the eyes of some of these posters.
That's pretty much sums it up for me. Two crime families fighting over turf. Its a cartel thing. Bloods Vs Crips, MS-13 Vs Sinaloa, the congress and corporations cashing in Vs us taxpayers.
This war should have been resolved before it started but I fear it was our side that wanted the conflict.
All those needless Russian and Ukrainian solders deaths all so rich A-holes can get richer and bang their chests a talk about glorious victory.
In the end the victor can claim to be the one and true ruler of the kingdom of rubble .

Yeah, I'm a full time professional RuZZZZZZZian troll bot. Anyone who stands up for the American taxpayer is a full time professional RUZZZZZZian troll bot in your book.
NEWS FLASH! I'll continue to post my pro-American opinion and "cute pictures" as long as these propaganda threads exist.
Cheers To You Too Chad.
That’s for the Viking Kitty pic.
I miss seeing them. They always made me laugh.
Name them. For example, go find any post of mine where I have indicated any support for Russia, for Putin.
The majority of us see both Russia and Ukraine as corrupt hellholes and are against billions of our tax dollars going unaudited to a known money-laundering operation. This does not remotely equate to any shred of support for Russia or Putin.
Most of us are also tired of the onslaught of Ukraine propaganda that a handful of people pollute this site with, day in and day out.
Here’s what Jim Robinson has to say about it:
”We are conservatives. Be respectful to your debate adversary (fellow FReeper). For example, do not accuse them of being a "Putinista", "comrade", "murderer", "baby-killer", etc, just because he may have a difference of opinion whether or not the US government should be involved in a controversial foreign war where we were not attacked.”
