Russia has threatened to annex occupied areas in the south of Ukraine. The Ukrainian army has now launched a counter-offensive with the help of Western long-range weapons. Much of the local population has already fled.
US isn’t supporting Ukranians. US is using Ukrainians to do the dying in a proxy war.
That is why all the nos.
Russia made allowances weeks ago for Khearson to run a referendum vote, which has been pushed back until Khearson is better secured by Russia.
Information warfare is thick with lack of proofs, but there are videos of Russian troops being met with relief and thanksgiving by townspeople who have lived too long under UKR government corruption.
The Azov Battalion was not one which was under the UKR ARMY. Their treatment of the Orthodox Russians and the Russian speaking populations of Donbass and Luzansk regions were not inknown throughout UKR.
Nevermind the bio weapons labs and the ever increasing Western military exercises creeping pointedly toward Russia’s western border with UKR.
I just pop in to laugh at the Putin Puffers...
“Russia is just as free as we are.
In America, we can say we don’t like the American President.
It’s just the same in Russia, they too can say they don’t like the American President.”
Thank for lightening in the mood! I think that is so
Reagan-esque :)
I need to say this:
There is a problem that has developed on Free Republic of late of: instantaneous attack commenting Freepers. Rather than dialogue and opposition disagreements on issues presented within the posted article.
Sometimes, it almost seems the article hadn’t been read but rather assumed content by responder! It is not a good look. I believe it turns off the younger crowd that don’t want to be verbally victimized by sharing their own thoughts & point of view. Many are turned off & just stop participating or leave.
Maybe, I’m just a Pollyanna, but I like to think none of us would frequent this site if we were not patriotic & just didn’t care. We need to do better. We must do better.
Actually, there’s this as well: behavior has consequences. Economically, the more that leave requires a greater financial burden for Free Republic on those that remain!
So, attack me if you must, but please consider my thoughts.
Tell that to you buddy in post #63. Civility runs two ways.
“Russians are free-er than Canadians under Castro’s son Trudeau. Bet.”
Russians who dissent with Putin are sent to gulags. Some have been mysteriously poisoned while outside Russia. How many Canadians have been poisoned while overseas again?
Speaking for myself, it is not my habit to argue, offend, or insult for the sake of it. There is a group who put forth link after link supporting Ukraine and US involvement in the situation.
I put out an open direct and specific question, several times, and that open simple direct question remains ignored. The *are* two sides to every story, at least.
“Civility runs two ways.”
It certainly does. But, in all honesty, dare to go to the beginning of comments on the board re-read the discussion noting Freepers that begin the mockery?
All of us fall short by making rude comments. Others seem to definitely make a career out of it!
[Maybe, a helpful hint for all of us is to pretend we are responding to our mom, dad, wife or husband when posting comment.]
Under Castro Trudeau? Give it time........
It runs both ways. To end it, quit posting or take some time out. Otherwise whining does no good.
Controversial subjects are just what they are.
For all your globalist warmongering needs, turn to George Soros. (also sponsored by Pfizer)

If you want on or off this list, please let me know.
“I put out an open direct and specific question, several times, and that open simple direct question remains ignored.”
Maybe, your comment was so respected the commenter is giving a thoughtful consideration for their own position .
It is possible to anticipate a quarrel, especially if they have been attacked previously. Then, as my college prof would say nothing productive occusr: “It just becomes a pis**ng match”
Fair enough. I await an answer because it is germane and can not be omitted from the equation.
“Why are you laughing, arrogant jackass. People are fighting and dying for their country.”
Perhaps because Ukraine sounds like Baghdad Bob in nearly every announcement/pronouncement they utter.
Captured by the collective delusion that they’re real, and independent. They are neither. And never will be.
Canadians are being poisoned by Trudeau and forced to take the fake vaxes one after another. They have no rights to speak out or their bank accounts will be shut down leaving them penniless. They cannot leave or come back unless they submit to the lethal clot shots. Justin is also planning the tracking chip and social credit score.
Dissenters in the US are being sent to the DC Gulag and many people over the years have been disappeared by the likes of the Clintons, the CIA, and the RAT Party.
They are having euthanasia pushed at them for depression and disabilities. Canada isn’t modeling itself after the old USSR, they are becoming like the Chicoms who Trudeau admits he admires.
Getting in by post #70-80 isn’t very effective
“You mean like when they announced anyone opposing the war is a traitor who will be hustled into vans and disappear?”
Yo Alexander, I’m pretty sure that describes Ukraine.
You know, that “free, independent” wanna be country.
Never materialized.
And yet, here we go again, the soon to come vaunted Ukrainian Kherson offensive.....lmao. Right. Okie dokie.

Exactly, the Ukies are on their 8 th mobilization ( and having to hunt them down) now conscripting woman, 18-60 years old was a good indication of their desperation, but woman? Panic.
Of course western MSM will say how the Ukies are winning, for example, “the glorious Ukie army is advancing backwards, while evil Ivan is retreating forward”.
