Without protective air support, Ukrainians were ordered to crawl through enemy fire to attack the first of 3 lines of defense. They lost many but began to break through the first line, but two more lines of defenses awaited them and a fourth line of defense was nearing completion. NATO treats Ukrainian soldiers like rags used to clean up a mess and then be thrown away.

The saddest part is at the end of this, Ukraine is going to be refused NATO and EU membership.

Globohomo NeoCons are happy to sacrifice Ukrainians 10:1 in order to try to hurt Russia.

arrogant pr**s in DC see regular Americans as sheep, and seek to central plan and social-engineer our lives

Ukraine grunts certainly are NOT going to more respect.

“To be an enemy of the US is dangerous, but to be a friend is fatal”? Henry Kissinger
I have to wonder where Zelensky and Ukraine fit in Kissinger’s quote. My guess is the latter.

“The US” is the Joe Biden regime. It is not the American people.

All the FR cheerleaders hear, is Ukraine is getting F-16s. They don't take into consideration that the F-16s are old equipment, yet far more sophisticated then what Ukrainian pilots have ever flown. They will be training 6 pilots, and the training will be minimal basic information, because F-16 pilots are not created in weeks totaling perhaps a few months.

They will likely lose the jets & the pilots in rather short order, but they think this will be a game changer.

They profess their concern for these people, yet the cheer them to the last man. They are destroying the Ukrainian population for generations to come. Thy may never recover from the devastation being done to them.

But hey, they wanted war with Russia, now they have it. Moral of the story, be very careful of what you wish for, because chances are you will not like the results if you are unprepared for what you are wishing for.

At the end of this, all that will be left is a smaller and much less populous rump Ukraine west of the Dnieper. Of the 34 million or so Ukrainians, 8-9 million have left the country never to return.

The one good thing about this is as White European Christians, they will be relatively easily assimilated into other European countries which will help offset those countries’ low birth rates. So it will effectively be a one time shot in the arm for them. Poland and Hungary have taken a bunch.
