Ukraine ping

A reminder that the Special Military Operation continues felling both ordinary and extraordinary Ukrainians. Could he have fled to the West? Very likely. Yet he chose to make a stand so his nation might live. Like his less well-known civilian counterparts, his name has entered the pantheon of heroes who answered their nation’s call to arms and paid the ultimate price. When Ukraine finally evicts the Russians from its soil, Ukraine’s old Russian place names will likely be supplemented gradually with the names of heroes who gave their present, so the nation might have a future, much as Revolutionary War heroes are similarly remembered.

The Ukraine is running out of Ukrainians so that Biden can cover his crimes.

Good for him. Lived and died a patriot.

Cassius Clay was a coward.

A whole generation of Ukrainian men lost to this war. And all for nothing. Will the Ukrainians ever wake up to the fact that they were merely pawns in the geo-political great game?

Everyone *but* the Ukrainians thought they would lose and the war would be over very quickly. The West (including the Biden administration) offered asylum to President Zelensky.

The problem was, the Ukrainians did not agree. Russia would have achieved victory if the Ukrainians did not fight.

But the Ukrainians fought, stopped the Russian advance, and have even manged to regain significant territory.

NATO did not orchestrate this war.

Ukraine decided to fight.

Ukrainians remember the Holodomor, where Stalin deliberately starved 4-6 million Ukrainians to death.
