Dogbert41 to UMCRevMom: "...you’ve been Hell bent on slaughtering the world over rotten stinking Ukraine..."

The only rot & stick I smell is coming from Vlad the Invader's orcs in Crimea and the Donbas, and the bodies of Ukrainian civilians that orcs raped & murdered.

I'm certain you agree that any unrepentant mass murderer needs to die, and the sooner the better, right?
So that's why you are calling for the deaths of Vlad and his henchmen in Moscow, right?

"The Ukrainians fight with bravery and develop intrepid tactics. Our military is learning much from them."

Monty, this comment of yours made me laugh hysterically. You made my day, my friend!

Oh yes! Such intrepid tactics! Lolol! Bwahahaha! Yeah, like getting utterly destroyed in Bakmut. A brilliant tactic that the US Military can learn much from! Bwahahahaha!!

Yes, yes, I know - it was a "Pyrrhic" victory for the Ruzzziiiiaaaannnsss and a masterful bit of strategy on the part of the Youcraynians to abandon Bakhmut (after they got annihilated there.) My only question concerning the whole Bakhmut affair is this one: Where was the World Famous Ghost Of Kiev™ and that equally famous chin-haired babushka who downed a drone by throwing a jar of tomatoes at it? They could have saved the day for Youcrayne!

Because neither showed up for the battle, here's the result of that now famous Youcraynian "victory!"

Slavo Youcraney!

If you were observant you would have seen that I was responding to personal insults against UMCRevMom. In fact, the Putinista insults were so perverse that they were deleted by the moderator. You are such a hypocrite to whine about personal insults while your side does little else except post brainless memes and cut and paste the same oft-refuted Moscow talking points.

I appreciate your trying to protect me from these retorts. It only places a target on your back. The moderators do review & remove inappropriate remarks from forum.

I’m accustomed to having targets on my back so it is not a problem. The other side is losing the PR battle on FR thanks to you regular posters. There are clouds of depression rolling through Moscow.

I do totally agree with your comment.

Putin needs to be stopped for both the Ukraine people & military and the conscripts from Russia.

How 'bout that recent Youcraynian "victory" in Bakhmut! When does the World Famous Youcraynian Spring Offensive™ begin?

Seeing that my last comment to you was instantly deleted, (perhaps it was too direct and pointed and therefore seriously ruffled some Youkazoid's hyper-delicate feathers), I will ask again but this time simply and directly: What were you doing in Youcrayne?

"I’m accustomed to having targets on my back so it is not a problem. The other side is losing the PR battle on FR thanks to you regular posters."

Too funny!

Alas, in the end, the only "battle" that matters is the one on the ground in Youcrayne. No amount of propaganda, no amount of jingoism and corny sloganeering can change that. And there is no doubt, by any objective measure, that Youcrayne's losing that battle, indeed losing the war itself - and badly.

Now, how about taking all the billions being wasted in propping up the leftist/WEF/globalist money laundering scheme and their gay-dancing, grifting, grease stain puppet and instead use it to try solving our homeless AMERICAN veterans problem?

pfft

Dude, it’s nothing to do with you.

We could all just as easily pester the pro Putin lot here (the ones who’re openly jonesing for the annihilation of Ukraine, quite like the sound of Putin’s policies, and really don’t care if Putin starts a third continental war all across Europe so long as the USA doesn’t get dragged into it) what they’re getting up to in St Petersburg.

Because it’s pretty clear they’re shilling for Russia, against America’s best security interests.

There’s no scenario where Putin can invade another country west of Russia and the USA doesn’t get dragged into it by virtue of mutual defense agreements and other treaty obligations going back decades.

You want to cut the spending? Putin needs to be put back in his box BEFORE those treaties can all get revisited.

Before you ask - I do humanitarian work in eastern Europe, but since the invasion of Ukraine I’ve been helping Russians and Ukrainians settle in the UK. There’s always been a community here in my county with Russians and Ukrainians coexisting happily, paying taxes and working hard...but we’ve had over 500 ethnic Russian families flee here to join them.

Ethnic Russians from the Donbas.

Funny. Putin’s logic would suggest that folks like them would’ve fled 200 miles east towards Rostov on Don at any time in the last nine years.

They tell me saw no reason to flee until the SMO. The serious fighting between Russian separatists and Uke ultranationalists pretty much ended five years ago.

And even then as long as they have holes between their butt cheeks, they still won’t submit to proxy rule from Moscow. They’d rather flee West, and start afresh with nothing but the clothes on their back.

And they’re the Russian speaking Ukes that Putin reckoned would be on his side!

You’ve got some anecdotal evidence from other Freepers who reckon that they know ethnic Russian speakers in east Ukraine who wanted annexation. They do exist, but they were a minority within a minority that represented less than 15% of the ethnic Russian population, was comprised mostly of 1st/2nd generation settlers from western Russia, and a high proportion of them are pensioners voting with their pockets.

You should try it sometime and get some education so you can be more than a fake New Yorker and a fake Italian.

Ahhh! . . .and the classic Youkazoid tactic - insult, insult, insult - and always personally - strikes again!

I'm going to miss these entertaining Youcrayne "conversations" on FR once Youcrayne and Ruzzziiiiaaa grind themselves to dust and the war ends. But I will be very happy that the mindless slaughter of people on both sides has ended. I will also be highly entertained when the phony actor/gay-dancing, grifting little grease stain Zelenskyyyyyy™ flees Youcrayne and seeks refuge in the Hamptons or Martha's Vineyard or Epstein Island or wherever the leftist/globalist/WEF pigs who installed and control him congregate and party.

Question: Are you Youcraynian?

Rocco DiPippo: "Annnndddd...another unprovoked, personal insult from the Youkazoid Flying Monkey Crew against someone taking issue with the corrupt craphole of Youcrayne and its corrupt, gay dancing, grifting grease stain of a 'leader.' "

Translated from Russian propaganda-speak to ordinary English, Volodymyr Zelenskyy is the sixth constitutionally elected president of Ukraine.
Constitutionally, Ukraine's president is the Head of State, meaning he can veto acts of Parliament and nominate government officials, is responsible for diplomatic relations and is also commander in chief of Ukraine's military forces.

In addition to being constitutionally elected, Zelenskyy has served with distinction as the leader of his beleaguered people during Vlad the Invader's massively insane assaults on Ukraine.
In that, Zelenskyy reminds many of Britain's Winston Churchill.

As for "corrupt" and "grifting", here are some sample numbers from Transparency International: ""

  1. #1 meaning least corrupt nation = Denmark, score = 90
  2. #18 = Estonia, score = 74
  3. #23 = United States, score = 69
  4. #44 = Georgia (the country), score = 56
  5. #65 = China, score = 45
  6. #91 = Belarus, score = 39
  7. #116 = Ukraine, score = 33
  8. #137 = Russia, score = 28
  9. #167 = Turkministan, score = 19
  10. #171 = North Korea, score = 17
  11. #180 = Somalia, meaning most corrupt, score = 12
Ukraine scores with most other former Soviet Empire republics, better than Russia itself.

In 2019 Volodymyr Zelenskyy was elected President, in part, on his pledges to clean up Ukrainian corruption.
There's no evidence I've seen of Ukraine's president misusing any of the foreign aid his country has received since February 2022.

As far as "gay", Zelenskyy's wife and children will, doubtless, be interested in seeing whatever evidence you can present of it.

Zelenskyy's history as an actor and comedian is well known.
In that, he reminds many of our own Ronald Reagan.

Finally, a truly devoted Russian propagandist will claim that Ukrainians are all a bunch of Nazis, and that Zelenskyy is not a "real Jew".
In that regard, here are Zelenskyy's words to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, in 2020:
