“ Those statues of Stalin are just of historic nature, the same way Confederate statues are here in the US.”

Name for me a Confederate general who deliberately murdered 20,000,000 of his own citizens. Go ahead. I’ll wait.

Name for the Confederate general who systematically drove Jews out of the South after confiscating their property. Go ahead. I’ll wait.

And after the Civil War the Union had several Confederate officers hanged for atrocities committed against Union POWs. Are there any statues of Henry Wirz around? No, there aren’t. (Look him up)

Who did the Russians hang after the Soviet Union fell? Who went to prison?

That’s right. No one.

And aren’t you supposed to be a big America First guy? How does supporting the Russians square with that?

That’s right. It doesn’t.

You’re a fraud.

“And aren’t you supposed to be a big America First guy? How does supporting the Russians square with that?”

I’m not supporting the Russians per se, I’m just being objective as to what this proxy Ukrainian war against them is really all about and resent the neocons dragging us into another totally unnecessary war which accomplishes little more than making the military industrial complex along with our corrupt politicians even richer than they already are.

Yes I’m America first and that means being against these never ending wars which are essentially bankrupting this country and having the opposite effect of being beneficial to our interests. Besides the tremendous costs we are fast becoming a pariah to the rest of the world with our throwing our military weight around causing horrendous destruction across the world. How is turning the entire Global South against us in America’s interest? The neocon agenda of endless wars has done NOTHING to benefit America, on the contrary it has harmed us greatly both financially and reputation wise. Anyone who can’t recognize the obvious failure of their detrimental influence (especially after Iraq & Afghanistan) is just a brainwashed fool.

“Whoa, you should talk. Maybe he should post some blood and guts stuff which you like so much.”

Thank you for reminding me that there’s another video I need to post. You’re the best!

You’ve supported both the wars in Iraq & Afghanistan while I supported neither. And now you support the proxy war against Russia which has cost us over a hundred billion and counting. ‘Nuff said.

Honestly, why do you harbor such bigotry and hatred for the Russian people? Some of your posts can be interpreted as downright genocidal.

Russia has produced some of the world’s best novelists, composers and dancers. The Moscow subway is a stunning museum and the trains are clean and safe to ride, which is more than one can say about the NY subway.

I’m not a fan of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, but Zelenskyyy is just as corrupt and guilty of using his own people as cannon fodder.

The US and the West are promoting militant homosexuality, White Genocide, sex change for children and other evils, so we shouldn’t be casting stones at Russia. And, as for corruption, our “elections” are just as suspect. Remember 2020?

I really don’t understand the genocidal hatred for the Russian people on this site. It’s disturbing and frightening.

Afghanistan, yes. To get Bin Laden. Once that was done we should have packed up and left.

The first Iraq War, yes. To kick Saddam out of Kuwait.

GWII, I did not support.

Biden worship runs deep with some people. Biden says “ Ukraine must be defended.” Biden Worshipers respond like trained seals. Biden says ,” Ukraine must be defended”, because the World must never know the secrets his Bio Labs in Ukraine hide.

“Honestly, why do you harbor such bigotry and hatred for the Russian people? Some of your posts can be interpreted as downright genocidal.”

Let them leave Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova, the occupied Kurile Islands, have them give back the part of Finland they stole, and stop making daily nuclear threats at everyone and I’ll be perfectly happy about the Russians.

But if Russian forces were claiming part of the USA and occupying it then not only would I want them dead I’d be out doing my part to kill them myself. Which is why I empathize with the Ukrainians who are doing their best to kill the Russian invaders who are killing Ukrainians. What would I do in their place? Nothing different.

And if peace with Russia means killing every last one of them then so be it. Get on with it. This is all on them.

Zaluzhny invited Ukrainian deputies to go to the front themselves

Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) Valeriy Zaluzhny made an emotional speech during a discussion of the law on mobilization in the Verkhovna Rada. During his speech, he announced a shortage of soldiers in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and suggested that deputies go to the front themselves if they cannot ensure mobilization.

"I need people. Who should I fight with? Either turn to the world and ask people there, or you go fight if you don’t ensure the replenishment of the army,"

Zaluzhny said. He added that Russia has already mobilized 400 thousand people. The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine criticized the bill introduced by the government to tighten mobilization. Zaluzhny spoke out against the recruitment of prisoners and convicts into the army, asking deputies the question: “Is the army for bad people?”

At the same time, he recognized the need to replenish the army. The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine noted that “increased mobilization is an objective component of the war,” and “if there is no strengthening, then there will be no one to defend the state.” He promised to provide 80 days of training to everyone mobilized.

"But give me people!" – Zaluzhny called.

You real need some professional help.

We didn’t invade anyone in 1964.

I don’t get that, one is ordering a ruthless bloody, costly invasion of a foreign country, and the other is the poor country fighting for its life against that invasion.

“”””As bad as some of the Russians might be, the primitive and corrupt Ukies are many times worse. “”””

Actually, in corruption, Russia ranks far worse, and in human trafficking, they rank very much worse, in fact almost the worst in the world.

If those are important to you then you should rethink things.

Good post. I like to remind people that the United States in the 2020s has become the corrupt, broken-down farce that the Soviet Union was in the 1980s. In fact, my high school classmates and I used to joke about characteristics of the Soviet Union in those days that are now commonly accepted as normal in the U.S. today.

Get back to me when Ukraine stops persecuting Christians, allows elections, and ends the rampant corruption.

Neither country is good in this. We should not be supporting this is war.

There is no moral equivalence between Ruzzia and Ukraine. Ruzzia invaded Ukraine, not the other way around.

Ruzzia is also occupying parts of Moldova, Finland, Japan, and Georgia. Who did Ukraine invade?
