But even if Putin retained his Oblasts and Crimea, it would be a hard meal to digest as partisan perils would continue to undermine his situation in the annexed lands.
—

If Putin keeps the captured Oblasts, then to end any partisan problems, he will simply replace the current population with Russians. Deporting all the others to Siberia during the winter. If ‘some’ perish along the way, who would say?

They even say that Alaska was illegally sold to USA.

Yep. And the Russians have said so openly and repeatedly. I don't know how the pro-Kremlin posters around here can in good faith claim that this is not our war when in fact Putin has already signaled that it's just the beginning of a longer campaign to rebuild the Russian Empire and get it ALL back, including Alaska.

Are they willing to fight for Alaska, or just give it back with a note of apology for William Seward's shrewd foresight, just to make "peace" with another totalitarian Russian regime?

We've been fighting proxy wars with Russia and China since the Korean War, and where has that gotten us?

The end of the Soviet Union and the Communist Bloc.

I don’t know if they are even catching the people in Russia who are setting fire to shopping malls in the middle of the night. They also don’t seem to be catching many of the people who are phoning the Ukraine Army to tell them where the Russian ammunition and officers are housed. The Nazi’s never caught all the French partisans, and they were a lot more efficient than the Russians are now.

It is interesting how the "Daily Denys" promotes a single individual pulling in more than $30,000 a month, enough to fully fund Free Republic.

[grey_whiskers]

Straight from Putin's mouth.

Meeting with Permanent Members of the UN Security Council, July 21, 2023 (contiguous excerpt from here:

We can see the public opinion changing in Europe, too. Both the Europeans and European elites see that support for Ukraine is, in fact, a dead end, an empty, endless waste of money and effort, and in fact, serving someone else’s interests, which are far from European: the interests of the overseas global hegemon, which benefits from the weakening of Europe. The endless prolongation of the Ukrainian conflict is also beneficial to it.

Judging by the actual state of affairs, this is exactly what today’s US ruling elites are doing. Anyways, this is the logic they follow. It is largely questionable whether such a policy is in line with the American people’s true, vital interests; this is a rhetorical question, and it is up to them to decide.

However, massive efforts are being taken to stoke the fire of war – including by exploiting the ambitions of certain East European leaders, who have long turned their hatred for Russia and Russophobia into their key export commodity and a tool of their domestic policy. And now they want to capitalise on the Ukrainian tragedy.

In this regard, I cannot refrain from commenting on what has just been said and on media reports that have come out about plans to establish some sort of the so-called Polish-Lithuanian-Ukrainian unit. This is not about a group of mercenaries – there are plenty of them there and they are being destroyed – but about a well-organised, equipped regular military unit to be used for operations in Ukraine, including to allegedly ensure the security of today’s Western Ukraine – actually, to call things by their true name, for the subsequent occupation of these territories. The outlook is clear: in the event Polish forces enter, say, Lvov or other Ukrainian territories, they will stay there, and they will stay there for good.

And we will actually see nothing new. Just to remind you, following WWI, after the defeat of Germany and its allies, Polish units occupied Lvov and adjacent territories that had been part of Austria-Hungary.

With its actions incited by the West, Poland took advantage of the tragedy of the Civil War in Russia and annexed certain historical Russian provinces. In dire straits, our country had to sign the Treaty of Riga in 1921 and recognise the annexation of its territories.

Even earlier, back in 1920, Poland captured part of Lithuania – the Vilnius region, a territory surrounding the present-day Vilnius. So they claimed that they fought together with the Lithuanians against so-called Russian imperialism, but then immediately snatched a piece of land from their neighbour as soon as the opportunity presented itself.

As is well known, Poland also took part in the partition of Czechoslovakia following the Munich Agreement with Adolf Hitler in 1938, by fully occupying Cieszyn Silesia.

In the 1920-1930s, Poland’s Eastern Borderlands (Kresy) – a territory that comprises present-day Western Ukraine, Western Belarus and part of Lithuania – witnessed a tough policy of Polonisation and assimilation of local residents, with efforts to suppress local culture and Orthodoxy.

I would also like to remind you what Poland’s aggressive policy led to. It led to the national tragedy of 1939, when Poland’s Western allies threw it to the German wolf, the German miliary machine. Poland actually lost its independence and statehood, which were only restored thanks in a large measure to the Soviet Union. It was also thanks to the Soviet Union and thanks to Stalin’s position that Poland acquired substantial territory in the west, German territory. It is a fact that Poland’s western lands are a gift from Stalin.

Have our Warsaw friends forgotten this? We will remind them.

Today we see that the regime in Kiev is ready to go to any length to save its treacherous hide and to prolong its existence. They do not care for the people of Ukraine or Ukrainian sovereignty or national interests.

They are ready to sell anything, including people and land, just like their ideological forefathers led by Petlyura, who signed the so-called secret conventions with Poland in 1920 under which they ceded Galicia and Western Volhynia to Poland in return for military support. Traitors like them are ready now to open the gate to their foreign handlers and to sell Ukraine again.

As for the Polish leaders, they probably hope to form a coalition under the NATO umbrella in order to directly intervene in the conflict in Ukraine and to bite off as much as possible, to “regain,” as they see it, their historical territories, that is, modern-day Western Ukraine. It is also common knowledge that they dream about Belarusian land.

“”””the gravest judgment error Ukraine has made is mainstream the use of these bombs.””””

How does that make any sense when Russia mainstreamed the bombs since the beginning, why write something so nonsensical?

I don’t read those human interest stories, not interested.

I see this new theme showing up in your propaganda threads. That all of Free Republic is united in supporting 'a free Ukraine'. For instance:

On F.R., there is no contest. The desire is for freedom for Ukraine.

Obviously this is a false claim. Your threads are packed with Freepers who don't agree with your Ukraine support.

I can't speak for everyone else who posts against you on these threads, but Ukraine as currently constituted is a corrupt cancer on the world. It is not merely coincidental that the plots to "get Trump" were all connected to Ukraine, that the entire First Impeachment of President Trump was concocted by Ukrainians, or that much of Biden's illgotten fortune was created by Ukrainian bribes.

Zelensky is a clown and a crook. I do not agree that a Ukraine run by the clown President is desirable, or can ever be free.

The details about the Biden-Ukraine corruption are being discovered daily.

Without the Ukraine corruption would Biden even be President?

I'm sure other Freepers have different takes on things. For sure we are not all happily united on these topics.

It's more false propaganda to claim we are.

Straight from Putin's mouth.

Which means it's all a bold-faced lie.

Have your mother read it to you; you’re obviously illiterate or a CIA / FBI mole.

[Rocco DiPippo]

There isn't going to be much of a Ukraine left if the war continues much longer.

Very few folks today give a crap what Stalin did 90 years ago. Just as in the way that few people alive today give a crap about what happened at Pearl Harbor when the Japs attacked it.

People have short memories, especially when it comes to things that don't directly affect them or their loved ones. Bottom line is that overwhelmingly, the only people who have actual skin in the war are Russians, Ukrainians and the corrupt scum who are making bank off the slaughter, which includes US politicians and bureaucrats.

A negotiated end of the war's coming soon. Just my guess. At that point the little gay dancing puppet Zelenskyyyy will be scurrying off to a Western country with his filthy lucre and Hitler V Putin will remain in power until he dies.

[Rocco DiPippo]

Russia has lost the war? Are you serious, man?

Even the usual pro-Youke mainstream Western "news" shills are now saying the Great Incredible Victorious Spring/Summer/Christmas/Kwanzaa/ Halloween Offensive is a bust. So, I take that as meaning it's actually an unmitigated disaster.

[Rocco DiPippo]

Yes, and that clown is of military age, chilling out and partying in Switzerland while someone else fights in his place.

Davydov is a draft dodging coward making serious bank off the blood of his countrymen. That makes him the lowest of the low. And he is a gaslighter and liar too, pushing little more than jingoistic "Youcrayne Is Winning!!" bullshit while every metric of this war points in the opposite direction.

I'm surprised that his crap is allowed to be posted on this site.

[buwaya]

There is a lot wrong, of course, with your comments.

But one stands out -

“The details about the Biden-Ukraine corruption are being discovered daily.”

This is true. And the detail that is coming out is that Burisima, actually a multinational company, hired Biden to protect itself from the Ukrainian government, which was investigating it. That is, the government of Poroschenko was investigating Burisima, a company associated with Yanushevich and Russian and Kazakh oligarchs.

Biden was a hired gun. It was not the corrupt Ukrainian government acting here, it was the corrupt US government acting on behalf of private parties.

This is fundamental. The US officials in that (Biden, his minions and staff) were the baddies.

Therefore you got the whole thing backwards.

--- "Straight from Putin's mouth." Which means it's all a bold-faced lie.

While we might tussle over issues, I think your statement apt, albeit incomplete.

Almost ALL political mouths are busy with bold-faced lies. A neighbor of mine when we lived in Germany had observed years ago that politicians seem mostly to be sociopaths, and some worse. Rather like Charlie Brown thinking Lucy won't pull away the football THIS TIME, we tend to run at it and then....

[buwaya]

That’s funny.
The Serbs still want Kosovo because of something that happened in the 14th century.
And Russia wants Ukraine because of some things that happened in the 11th or maybe the 17th century, per Putins 2021 article about why slavs should get together.
Etc.

"I see this new theme showing up in your propaganda threads. That all of Free Republic is united in supporting 'a free Ukraine'. For instance: On F.R., there is no contest. The desire is for freedom for Ukraine."

Yes, I noticed the same thing coming from the Gaslighter In Chief.

Real ignorant word twisting nonsense. Ugh. By doing this cheap play she's implying that everyone on FR is siding with Youcrayne when in fact the majority of Freepers do not want the US involved in the mess at all.

A Freeper held an informal poll here a while back - 90% said "no" to involvement in the war. I'm one of those 90 percent.
