"Ukraine is Gamifying the Elimination of Russians with Drones" Jake Broe** I am a United States Air Force veteran who served as a Nuclear and Missile Operations Officer. Jan 27, 2026 8:00 p.m. EST Length 32:18 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KknUmByywT0

"Ukraine has struck a Russian oil refinery for the first time in 4 weeks. Ukraine's new Defense Minister has announced a competition between drone units that allows them to earn "e-points" for every successful strike on the Russians. Trump is pressuring Ukraine to surrender the Donbas to Russia in exchange for US security guarantees."

I thought that Ukraine would be taking Moscow energy infrastructure and electricity this winter. It must be they are lacking the missiles to do this. Oil refineries and ports are much easier to take out with drones.

Jack Broe is very good on Ukraine and Russia. The negative is that he has a big Democrat streak otherwise.

[dennisw]

Your brain is too small to process this, but those Zelensky photos that you luv, were from a comedy troupe he led circa year 2000. They competed against other comedy troupes in Russia, Ukraine, Poland. This was a very popular activity in that era. Rocco the Sicilian grape stomping prude.

---- "Jack Broe is very good on Ukraine and Russia. The negative is that he has a big Democrat streak otherwise."

Jake Broe is very good at Jake Broe, adept at providing support for those seeking their confirmation bias, and has far more than a "Democrat streak." Calling America under the Trump-Vance administration a "fascist state" is not just a "streak."

Perusing his entire channel, one finds all those others you might find "very good on Ukraine and Russia." In addition to Rehi, so many of the other YouTube voices like Davydov, the Russian Dude and others appear on each other's channels in interviews.

I am no proponent of Putin or Zelensky, nor of the current governments in Russia or Ukraine, but the tenor of these last years on FR Forums has shown that no third opinion is tolerated by those who find Jake Broe "very good on Ukraine and Russia." One is supposed to be for Z and against P, or one is "insert any name, as I've called them all" here.

Zelensky may pull out a win of some sort. Putin might win somehow. I don't know and adopt the "time will tell" strategy. Because time will tell. The effect on Free Republic and its donors is showing. This quarter I anted in again. The Donor list today shows 110 donors, not much so far. It is fair to ask therefore who has actually made a donation. Have you? Did you through the quarters of last year?

Didnt say we gave them junk but mostly older stuff, and in limited numbers
We have dozens of patriot systems that at mothballed, we have thousands of abrams, Bradley’s and Strykers mothballed.

And still Moscow can only creep along at the cost of hundreds of thousands of Russians.

Had Ukraine had AirPower even remotely close to NATO numbers and quality Russia would be done.

If we have them tomahawks and Taurus Russian petro infrastructure and its accompanying revenue would be gone

Kazan, a Russian city🤔

Sorry to hear about the loss of the SU-30 and 34😎

1. 87% of Ukrainians stay at home despite energy-related problems – survey

Despite Russia’s massive attacks on energy infrastructure and the related day-to-day hardships, most Ukrainians are not changing their place of residence.

This is evidenced by data from a sociological survey, Censor.NET reports.

According to the study, 87% of respondents stayed where they were, despite problems with electricity, water, and heating.

.
WHO LEFT MOST OFTEN?

The most mobile were residents of the regions that suffer the most from attacks on the energy sector—eastern Ukraine and Kyiv. From these areas, 21% and 18% of respondents, respectively, temporarily left.

Among the 13% of Ukrainians who were forced to change their place of residence due to the energy crisis, the majority remained within their region (60%), and half moved to another region of Ukraine.

.
DO THEY PLAN TO RETURN
.
The overwhelming majority of those who temporarily left plan to return home after it warms up or when the security situation allows. At the same time, some residents of the eastern and northern regions (16% and 22%) do not yet see an opportunity to return.

.
MIGRATION SENTIMENTS REMAIN STABLE

Less than 10% of respondents said they intend to leave Ukraine within the next six months. This figure matches the results of previous surveys and indicates that even intensive strikes on the energy sector have not triggered a new surge in migration.
.
The main reasons for a possible departure remain threats to life and health, the possible occupation of a region, or loss of housing. Day-to-day hardships, lack of electricity, water, or heating, are not yet a decisive factor.
.
At the same time, 43% of respondents allow for changing their place of residence if conditions worsen further: the temperature at home falls below 10 degrees, and electricity, water, or sewerage are absent for more than 48 hours. However, the key reason for leaving remains the security situation.

He stressed that everything energy workers need will be provided from the Energy Ministry’s hubs.

“I issued relevant instructions. We are also preparing requests to other countries regarding the supply of energy equipment. We work on this with our partners every day,” the minister added.

"We are grateful to the Government of Italy for the strategic decision to continue supporting Ukraine. We are already holding talks on the next batch, more than 300 units of equipment with a capacity of more than 800 MW. This is a systemic contribution to the resilience of Ukraine’s heat and power sector," Kuleba wrote. "Special thanks to Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Italy to Ukraine Carlo Formosa for his personal involvement, consistent stance, and prompt assistance," the minister added. Earlier, Kuleba said that 447 generators provided by the European Union for communities across the country, with a focus on frontline regions, would arrive in Ukraine within a week.

So Denny, because I disapprove of a grown man prancing around naked in front of naked children I'm a 'prude?"

I'd say that my disgust at the antics of your finook/pervert "hero" Zelenskkkkkkyyyyy™ makes me normal.

I have found that you Zeepers tend to be pervs and degenerates of one sort or another.

BTW, your head shot on your IMBD actor's page looks great!

When did Zelensky do this? Show me. Lay off the grappa you Putinista buffoon.

 

[dennisw]

Yeah General Winter has turned against The Russian invaders in Ukraine. Military show on Y-Tube is 85% truthful.

But some of the lesser pro-Ukraine YT channels are for the birds. Simply copy the YT trasncript and run it through chatGPT for a good sorting out.

Look it up yourself. Google’s your friend, dimwit.

Over €10 million has already been raised across multiple countries as part of the #WarmthForUkraine fundraising campaign. It was reported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine.

“Aid is arriving daily: hundreds of generators, boilers, and transformers. In addition to support from non-governmental initiatives, meaning contributions from private individuals, there is also governmental backing.” Ukraine’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Andrii Sybiha said.

Cute photos from your hard drive collection. But same as a libby Democrat you are projecting. In this case its your sub-erotic life.

---- "Rocco de Nada, the no-proof goof. The only Bad Vlad fanboy in Sicily."

The thread on "gamifying" gamifies.

No-proof goof? A clever rhyme, and demonstrably nonsense.

Here is the proof you so enthusiastically sought. It's still up on YouTube.

Enjoy. The music's "catchy." And the comments on the YouTube channel are interesting and wide ranging.

By the way, you're IMGUR paste-up in comment # 131 is amusing, with quite the number of "tells" that it is a paste-up job. "79 Views • 2h" -- dennisw "art"

Now back to Jake Broe thinking these United States of America are "fascist." And some of us are Nazis, though the Methodist thinks we're Soviet Communists. Gamify, it's what these threads do. When not name-calling.

No children to be seen that Rocco de Nada claimed. This comedy video was staged in a supermarket after hours. This passed for comedy in Ukraine.

See or skim this is you want to get a much better idea about Zelensky comedy years. His troupe was in comedy competitions. https://time.com/6551657/6551657/?utm_source=chatgpt.com That the FR Putinistas crib photos from.
