US doubts new Russian war chief can end Moscow’s floundering
AP via Breitbart ^ | 11 April, 2022 | ROBERT BURNS and HOPE YEN

WASHINGTON (AP) — Russia has tapped a new Ukraine war commander to take centralized control of the next phase of battle after its costly failures in the opening campaign and carnage for Ukrainian civilians. U.S. officials don’t see one man making a difference in Moscow’s prospects.

Russia turned to Gen. Alexander Dvornikov, 60, one of Russia’s most experienced military officers and — according to U.S. officials — a general with a record of brutality against civilians in Syria and other war theaters. Up to now, Russia had no central war commander on the ground.

The general’s appointment was confirmed by a senior U.S. official who was not authorized to be identified and spoke on condition of anonymity.

But the White House national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, said “no appointment of any general can erase the fact that Russia has already faced a strategic failure in Ukraine.”....

...The West supplying the Ukraine with weapons is not going to start a world war just like the Russians and the Chinese supplying the North Vietnamese did not start a world war...

Should be the case, but Johnson and Nixon were not Putin.

True, Joe is slow walking aid. Joe appears to be in Putin’s back pocket.

But Trump sent $1 billion in missiles. And Europe is sending weapons and ammunition.

And I understand the US is sharing intelligence.

Nobody “wants” war.

Except Putin. Putin has started this war.

4.5 million refugees. Countless homes and entire cities destroyed. When do you start caring? How big of a humanitarian crisis does it take before your willing to even provide a weapon so the innocent can defend themselves?

Burisma was owned by a Russian aligned oligarch. The Bidens got money from Burisma and from the wife of the Moscow mayor. That’s why Biden is slow walking aid to Ukraine.

Whatever Soros or Deep State involvement in Ukraine exists is inconsequential. The 4.5 million refugees are not deep state agents. Their innocent people who just wanted to live their lives in their own country.

Floundering? This propaganda completely contradicts the reality on the ground and isn't even believable to anyone following an objective assessment of the war. Russia is kicking Ukraine's ass. Pretending otherwise is only going to result in more dead Ukrainians.

Neocons and globalist Republicans are just as much a threat to this nation as Democrats. They are heart and soul of the Republican establishment that sells out conservatives at every turn.

I’m more interested in fighting the Derp State in America. Remarkable how people buy into Ukraine’s boundaries being sacrosanct, but ours don’t matter.

We’ve been over this, Danny. Yes, Zelensky wants war. He’s a ghoul. Seeing FReepers fall for this propaganda that he’s one of the good guys and Ukraine is as innocent as the driven snow is sickening. You guys need to stop watching the Soros and Derp State aligned propaganda networks.

Sorry, sir. Keyboard warriors are the ones with a hard-on for starting WW3 over Ukraine.

I don’t want your war.

Bragging about how great things are under the Satanic Stalinazi globalist sodomarchy and other corrupt degenerates holding our nation hostage proves you are not only a misguided soul, but absolutely on the wrong website.

A few Harpoons will calm the Russians in the south. It won’t lead to anything but Russian swimming lessons.

Short War—Ukraine wins, Long War Russia Wins. It may take a few decades, maybe a century. People will forget what it was all about. Even CNN will lose interest when China invades Taiwan or some other hapless nation (Vietnam or Japan) Hit us with some more germs and we will become Shanghai and fold up.

Nope.

I believe in freedom and self determination. I support the ukrainian nationalists who object to being invaded. Ukraines business is their business. If they want to be in league with the homo-globalists, thats their business, not Russias nor yours. They will have to answer to God for their decisions as will we in our country. And to think their current choice to line up with EU/NATO/”Globalists” was foisted on them by an outside party is nonsense as they would then be welcoming the Russian “liberators”

Do you believe that Joe would give the order to launch strategic nuclear weapons at Russia if he knew they had launched at us?

How about Kamala?

Those are both questions, mind you. :)

As I’ve said to others of your ilk, if you wish to defend the corrupt Ukrainian state with the Soros puppet Zelensky, for which they bear the entire responsibility for any and all casualties there, you must remove yourself from behind the keyboard and take the next connecting flight to Kyiv and put your money where your mouth is. Otherwise, we have no business or reason to get involved in a situation that will result in WW3.

NOPE. Putin started the war. His puffer fish who support him and what he is doing can man up.
