The 40,000 square miles of territory the Russians have liberated and annexed comprised 70-80% of Ukraine's GDP.

Try 12%, genius.

The combined GDPs of Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhizhia, and Kherson oblasts in 2021 was 16 billion EUR out of an estimated 132 billion EUR. Kyiv alone had a GDP of 31 billion EUR.

Are you paid to lie or is it a compulsive thing with you?

Oh, and it’s not “liberated”, it’s invaded and occupied. But that will be rectified soon enough…

So 62 killed and hundreds wounded, including the death of a top Ukrainian general?

you forgot to mention how many Dozens of FBI posing as protesters were instigating and actually causing much of the violence. Also, compared to major rioting in US cities, it was pretty damn mild. You have been brainwashed by the MSM. The election was stolen and if you disagree about that, then you are part of the problem.

I see a finger-wagging post, followed by multiple posts from the flying monkeys. Almost as if they were summoned.

--- "Strange how the finger-wagging posts quote Jim, but they always leave out this crucial part. Every time.

--- ”We are conservatives. Be respectful to your debate adversary (fellow FReeper). For example, do not accuse them of being a "Putinista", "comrade", "murderer", "baby-killer", etc, just because he may have a difference of opinion whether or not the US government should be involved in a controversial foreign war where we were not attacked.” -Jim Robinson"

This is the substance of the exchanges on these "daily amen™ threads," in which "a controversial foreign war where we were not attacked” is demanded to be seen as not controversial, those with other views (plural) are brow-beaten with inane responses, "squirrel into the weeds" games and more.

A difference of opinion is heresy to the zealots. There is indeed a pattern, as you so observe. Best wishes.

There was one guy who it was suggested was an agent days before 1/6, but he recently received one of the longest sentences of over 20 years. Having seen the effects of city wide rioting with dozens of streets completely burned down, the action on the Hill was relatively mild, but it was directed at our national government, not local conditions like relatively recently in Baltimore after the death of a prisoner in custody.

It is beyond doubt a propaganda mill operation... the only aspect worth consideration, is why it is allowed to operate here?

26 Sep: Ukrainians Strike a Forgotten Site. WIPE OUT ALL RUSSIAN AMMO HIDDEN IN THE FORMER FACTORY

I am Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the five hundred eighth day of the war.

Day 580: Sep 26

TODAY, there is a lot of news from the northeast.

Here, Ukrainians have conducted so many successful strikes over the last several days that the mayor of Kursk decided to cancel the celebration of the birthday of the city.

FIRST of all, today, Ukrainian special forces conducted a successful drone strike in this region. The target of the drone strike became a substation near Snagost that powered at least 7 settlements, and as a result, all nearby settlements experienced a blackout. The goal of the strike was to cut off power from the Russian military near the border.

SIMULTANEOUSLY, the Head of Ukrainian Intelligence reported that the Russian Volunteer Corps, which is a detachment that consists of the Russian citizens that are fighting on the Ukrainian side, conducted another raid in the Kursk region. The insurgents crossed the border, assaulted Russian border guards and soldiers, inflicted losses, and returned back.

Prior to that, UKRAINIANS also attacked the regional center itself. Local residents reported hearing multiple explosions, and as revealed by the footage, at least one drone managed to hit its target. As it turned out, the drone hit the headquarters of the Russian Federal Security Services. Later, Russian sources confirmed that some drones managed to pass through the air defense, however, noted without specifications that an administrative building was damaged.

ANOTHER EXPLOSION was recorded on the outskirts of the city, near the Khalino airfield. Local residents reported that something hit an oil depot near the airfield. Interestingly, the drones were not spotted in that region, which is why some sources speculate that the explosion happened in the aftermath of the malfunction of the Russian air defense that tried to protect the airfield.

AND A DAY PRIOR, Ukrainians also successfully hit precisely this airfield. However, this time, instead of targeting aviation, Ukrainians targeted the pilots and their commanders located at the headquarters in the nearby settlement. Immediately after the strike, some Russian military bloggers started expressing their condolences, which means that the strike was likely successful.

LATER, Ukrainian Intelligence reported that according to the obtained information from the site, the commander of the 14th aviation regiment, at least one of his deputies, a group of pilots, and a security services representative were either injured or killed. Due to the very saturated week, the mayor of Kursk decided to cancel the celebration with fireworks of the birthday of the city.

The Ukrainian drones were also spotted today in the BRYANSK region. Some analysts claimed that the drone was used for reconnaissance purposes because it was not the usual model that is used for attacks, so the drone was likely testing the Russian air defense in the region prior to a bigger strike.

In the BELGOROD region, however, the drones were of regular type. As can be seen from the footage, this is the same drone that Ukrainians used for many strikes, including the ones on Moscow. Local residents reported an explosion somewhere near Dmyrivka, however, due to the sparseness of the region, no explosions were captured on video, which is why the strike was ignored by the Russian sources.

BUT THE BIGGEST STRIKEut happened in the Luhansk region. Here, Ukrainian forces targeted a huge ammunition depot that Russian forces created on the territory of the former factory. The factory is located in the deep rear, where there has been no fighting since 2014, so the Russians have accumulated a lot of ammunition inside the unharmed by the war facilities.

Russian sources reported that the strike was conducted with Strom Shadow missiles that were launched from the Kramatorsk area, 150 km away from the target. Russian analysts pointed out that there were no strikes in the deep rear in the Luhansk region for quite a while, and a rapid shift of focus may indicate that Ukrainians may have some serious plans regarding the encirclement of the Soledar and Bakhmut group.

As one of the globalist trolls told me openly: they pay to play, and pay to stay. If this is the case, the mission of Free Republic has been changed, and we should be informed of the change officially by management.

Discuss the issues all you wish, BUT DO NOT MAKE IT PERSONAL!

Remember to use common courtesy when posting to FR. Leave off the insults and flames, name calling, etc.

We are conservatives. Be respectful to your debate adversary (fellow FReeper). For example, do not accuse them of being a "Putinista", "commrade", "murderer", "baby-killer", etc, just because he may have a difference of opinion whether or not the US government should be involved in a controversial foreign war where we were not attacked.

Likewise, things in the presidential primary are getting over-heated. We want to be sure we come out of this with a Republican president, house and senate. The only way we can accomplish that is to unify the Republican Party. We can't destroy our own candidates. Whoever it is will need to pull us ALL together. Keep the ultimate goal in sight - Freedom! We are not here to fight each other.

Given that Putin’s friends and supporters are North Korea, China, Venezuela, Cuba, Iran, etc. it should be pretty clear what and who he and they are.

“The struggle is real.”

The struggle is NOI about differing opinions.

Rather, the struggle resides with those that REALLY are demanding the whole comment be presented instead of just a reminder.

“Russia is promoting its candidacy to the United Nations Human Rights Council. I will remind you that last year she was deprived of the rights of a member in response to a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

In such a step Russia is trying to prove that it can continue unpunishedly roughly violating human rights, committing war crimes and crimes against humanity.

Ukraine’s position is clear: Russia should not get the right to return to one of the key UN bodies until it holds responsibility for all crimes. The place of Russian war criminals on the benches of the tribunal, not in the UN Council of Human Rights.”

“he revealed that these were inflatable balloons in the form of tanks.”

Both sides use decoys, some to good effect, and others not so much.

The Ukrainian have easily duped the Russians into expending numerous Kalibr missiles in blowing up a plywood vismod made to look like a HIMARS.

"Russia has already won the war."

IF Russia has already won the war, then why is your boi Putin groveling on his knees begging fat boy Kim for munitions?

Why is Russia pulling 50, 60, or 70 year old tanks out of storage and rushing them to the front?

https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/2023/03/22/the-russians-are-pulling-70-year-old-t-55-tanks-out-of-storage/?sh=45c54e4e6593

Why are they taking 70 year old MT-LBs and slapping 80 year old naval anti-aircraft guns on them and rushing those to the front too?

https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/2023/09/04/the-russians-bolted-1950s-naval-guns-to-armored-tractors-and-produced-nearly-useless-combat-vehicles/?sh=7d2549362846

Why have the Russians committed it's last available Category A reserve formation in a vain attempt to keep the defensive line from rupturing?

And what ever happened to the claim of sacking Kyiv within the first five days of the war?

Ukrainian units have become adept at using captured Russian tanks against Moscow’s invading forces. By some estimates, Ukraine has made up for all the armor it has lost by capturing an estimated 500 enemy tanks.

A Ukrainian crew training on a Russian tank found near Chernihiv says the vehicle is still in prime shape.
