"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."

“Ukrainian forces strike Osa air defence system and several Russian logistics facilities-Ukraine’s General Staff”
UKRAINSKA PRAVDA

Ukrainian forces have successfully struck an Osa air defence system near the village of Semenivka in the temporarily occupied territory of Zaporizhzhia Oblast, as part of efforts to reduce Russia’s offensive capabilities.
SOURCE: General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
DETAILS: The military reported a direct hit on the target.
In addition, Ukrainian defenders struck important Russian logistics facilities in the temporarily occupied territory of Zaporizhzhia Oblast. The location of the repair unit of Russia’s separate special forces brigade near the town of Tokmak, the logistics depots of an artillery regiment near the village of Okhrimivka, and facilities of the 76th Airborne Assault Division in the Kyrylivka district were hit.
The losses of the Russians are being confirmed.
I especially note a comment on this thread by the "reverend" alleging a YouTube channel "produced" the video, which is of course one of those tricks of her trade. As you observe, "This comedy video was staged in a supermarket after hours. This passed for comedy in Ukraine." Not in some Japanese YouTube channel.
So --- 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-goof proof.
Aside from our exchange, one tallies the Ukrainian propaganda/news posted in comments versus the Russian propaganda/news posted in comments, and a clear winner in the Free Republic thread emerges. Ukrainian propaganda wins by a mile. Or a kilometer. Without any CENSOR ship....
"....Jake Broe** I am a United States Air Force veteran who" thinks "America is now a fascist state."
Gamify! It's a thing.
There are a few million in India who are using these free AI tools to flood Y-Tube with AI Slop. If they save their YouTube earnings they can buy a $2000 AI capable computer an ramp up their slop production.
I greatly appreciate Jack Broe’s Ukraine war channel. It has the information I want. He is a liberal Democrat otherwise. He goes nuts when he mentions Trump. Which is reasonable, because the Biden regime supported Ukraine lots more than Trump.
“There are a few million in India who are using these free AI tools to flood Y-Tube with AI Slop.”
Very important to know your sources!
Which is why the original poster for "gamify" also has used retired Lt. Gen. Hodges, who openly endorsed Biden in the Tallahassee Democrat.
The thread amuses, for the notion that someone who regularly cites YouTube channels is now pointing out that YouTube channels are dodgy.
Here's a dodgy video, given its title and date.
Russia's Economy is COLLAPSING Jake "America is a fascist state" Broe, 28 February 2022.Probably a four-year old "fake," made by Japanese vloggers through the "reverend's" assertion that "Video parody suggested by Worldly is produces by 'Kaiketsu Excavation Team'.”
Here's another, which is interesting, since it is of two of the "reverend's" sources:
General Ben Hodges (Ret.): Will Russia Accept Defeat? | Jake Broe Podcast (E009) Jake "America is a fascist state" Broe interviews General Ben "I endorse Biden" Hodges, 3 November 2022Unlike you all, I cannot predict the outcome of this awful war between two non-NATO nations, but time will tell. Cheerleading on a Free Republic thread will not affect the outcome, it is rather assured.
That makes so much of this a search for confirmation of one's bias, and YouTube videos are one way for some, even when in retrospect they didn't turn out as marketed.
Propaganda on this thread. Tally up examples of direct sourcing of actual Ukrainian and actual Russian propaganda. Compare.
“Tally up examples of direct sourcing of actual Ukrainian and actual Russian propaganda. Compare.”
The Putin invasion supporters offer limited Russian information regarding the progress of the Russian invasion. Some are actually backpedaling now saying they do not support either side! Rarely, do they comment on the post topic. Their comment preference is to direct sharp, critical, or hurtful, that are intended to insult or belittle another Freeper with an alternate opinion.
However, for those Freepers that oppose invasion of a sovereign nation to just continue to ignore the disruptors, detractors haters and harassers.
Therefore, to further examine BY SOURCING WITH HOTLINKS the original poster's original source:
Fomr the YouTube page: "[ Democrat ]Vindman was part of Trump's 'perfect phone call' in which Trump attempted to extort President Zelensky into investigating Joe Biden's son prior to the 2020 election. "If this source is incorrect in any way, please point it out. Else, we have another EXAMPLE of the continuing attack on President Trump by Democrats.Source: Alexander Vindman: Ukraine Cannot Be Ignored | Jake Broe Podcast (E035) Jake "America is a fascist state" Broe interviews Alexander Vindman, 28 June 2025.
Conniving Effort – Alexander Vindman Launches Democrat Senate Campaign in Florida Posted on 1/30/2026, 10:38:07 AM by MtnClimber
I'm proud to stand as a prude alongside you Rocco!!
Isn’t it nice to see. After serving as a primary witness in Donald Trump’s first impeachment trial, Alexander Vindman finally got his head on straight!
Vindman repeatedly expressed support by: 1st, effectively countering Russian malignant influence and 2nd, Russia’s military aggression.
After Russia’s full-scale invasion on February 24, 2022, Alexander Vindman FULLY SUPPORTED UKRAINE and conducted lectures on the Russo-Ukrainian War at on the Russo-Ukrainian War at the Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute in Cambridge, Massachusetts, the Ford School at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, and the University of Alberta in Edmonton.
In March 2023, the Alexander and Eugene Vindman launched Trident Support, a project with the primary objective to establish a weapon maintenance and training facility in Ukraine.
As someone commented earlier, sometimes it just takes a little time to see more clearly the larger picture... and that’s OK! Only God is omniscient.

“Cold and dark: UN rights chief condemns Russian strikes on Ukraine’s power grid”
United Nations
20 January 2026
https://news.un.org/en/story/2026/01/1166798
“Russian attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure have cut heat, electricity and water to hundreds of thousands of civilians in freezing winter conditions, prompting the UN human rights chief to denounce the strikes as “cruel” and a clear violation of international law.”
Volker Türk said the Russian strikes “can only be described as cruel. They must stop. Targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure is a clear BREACH of the rules of warfare.”
Everybody knows about Zelensky’s naked grocery store video. Zeeps just like to try to get you to do their work for them. They get off on the strangest things.
Here’s some recent Zelensky news. What a gem.

“Everybody knows about Zelensky’s naked grocery store video. “
Nope. Is that another of the fake videos running around?
You Ukes wish it were fake. 😂
Keep defending the little perv for all I care, Candy. As long as he doesn’t get any more of my money.
Vindman is a POS for trying to get Trump impeached. As part of the Trump-Russia collusion hoax back in Trump’s first term. This low level, jumped up puke staffer tried to get Trump impeached.
That was comedy back then. Rocco de Nada said there were children in this video. There are none, because the all adults video was obviously staged after normal business hours.
Show us the money Rocco, where Zelensky has done naked comedy in front of children. You called it pervy.
Skim this for insight into Zelensky long time ago comedy years >>> https://time.com/6551657/6551657/?utm_source=chatgpt.com
Skim this pic for insights on you and your perv dance partner Zelenskyyyyyyy™, Denny!
Bwahahahahahahahaha! That’s brilliant! 😂
We agree on something.
He’s a POS for trying to get Trump impeached and he stands with the radical left on pretty much every issue. Both Vindmans are complete swamp trash. Typical Democrats - they hate our country and everything that’s good about it.
