“The poor citizens of Ukraine are broke, sitting in the dark, boiling water, and freezing”

And yet they fight on.

If you were at Valley Forge freezing and starving for six months, I expect you would have been one to call to abandon the Revolution and surrender to the British.

If you were in London in 1940 being kept awake every night by the German bombs pounding the city I expect you would be pleading with Churchill to give in to the Nazi forces.

Fortunately there are still real men in the world who understand what it means to fight for freedom.

You are correct. In Ukraine there are plenty of men, women, and even children who refuse to give up their freedom. Even behind the Russian lines there are many civilians risking their lives to help their nation.

The authors of the article look like they wouldn't lift a finger to preserve freedom anywhere unless they were getting paid to do so. They look like they would surrender if they couldn't have jam with their croissants.

Freedom in that place is a fact not yet in evidence, yet it seems to be assumed by many on this board. Banning opposition political parties? Banning opposition speech? Shutting down media unless it is pro-goverment? Sounds almost like the Biden mis-administration is in charge over there

Nice sounding, but the Ukraine govt won’t be handing out any freedom. I can only imagine the atrocities occurring in the areas “liberated” from Russia as “collaborators” (anyone the new Junta doesn’t like) are tortured and executed.
