🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 Good morning World! Good morning Ukraine! 🎄 🎄 🎄 🎄 Saint Nicholas Day in Ukraine. Before the calendar reform in Ukrainian churches, the holiday was celebrated on 18-19 December until 2023.churches. In Ukraine, St. Nicholas (Sviatyi Mykolai) visits good children during the night of 5-6 December and puts token gifts under the pillow. This year, Ukrainian children ask St. Nick for one gift only - Victory and Peace.

Why do you condone Russian war crimes thus becoming a war criminal?

[Worldtraveler once upon a time]

---- "Why do you condone Russian war crimes thus becoming a war criminal?"

An interesting gambit. Can you prove with a citation or two that tennmountainman actually 1) condones Russian war crimes, and 2) becomes a war criminal?

I looked cursorily through his last comments on a variety of pages, and find none of what you have alleged. For your convenience: Posts by tennmountainman

Your assertion that someone on Free Republic "condones Russian war crimes" seems hyperbole. Please cite some proof. Thanks in advance.

House Atreides: "During The Crazy Operation, The Russians Bypassed Bohdanivka.
Military Summary 2023.12.5"

I watched the entire video, it's obviously pro-Russian and so emphasizes, if not exaggerating, Russian successes and Ukrainian failures.
But I didn't have a problem with it, it is what it is.

I never felt an uncontrollable urge to lash out at the narrator with vicious personal attacks, or to concoct mocking fantasies about his personal life.
WTF? He's just a guy doing his job, and reasonably well, I think.
Among other things, I learned from this video:

1. Russians claim to have recovered about 85% of the territories taken by Ukrainians during their "summer offensive".

2. Russian estimates of Ukrainian losses roughly correspond to Ukrainian claims that Ukraine loses about one third the numbers Russians lose in Russian "meat wave" assaults.
   For example, on a day when Ukraine claims Russians lost ~900 in "Meat Wave" assaults, Russians report Ukraine's losses as circa 250.

3. Our narrator said nothing about any alleged Russian "meat wave" assaults, suggesting that even some pro-Russians understand that's an insane way to fight a war.

4. The narrator sounded very optimistic about future Russian offensives, which I thought more or less mirror the optimism about Ukraine which we often see from YouTubers like Denys Davydov.

So I really don't understand where all the angst & anger comes from that we see daily directed at pro-Ukraine YouTubers like Davydov.

bimboeruption: "This thread is brought to you by the Ministry of Propaganda of Ukraine."

With many uncensored responses directly from the information sewer pipes of the Russian Ministry of Propaganda.

[BroJoeK]

bimboeruption quoting: " 'Something happened at the last minute,' Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, the majority leader, said on Tuesday afternoon, announcing the change in plans, without giving further explanation."

rxh4n1: "It’s easy to figure out.
There aren’t enough votes for aid yet.
They haven’t bribed enough RINO’s yet.
Or maybe the Dems think this time the Republicans are really serious, and they’ll let Ukraine aid go.
Open borders are more important to the Dems than Ukraine."

Except for the part about bribing RINOs, I fear you are exactly right.

Republican House Speaker Johnson has promised he will not approve more Ukraine aid until Democrats agree to more Border Security.
But for radical Democrats (by which I mean the Obama wing of the party), open borders are existential and essential to their future political dominance over the USA.
Without open borders boosting Democrat city population counts and illegal votes, they cannot for long maintain majorities anywhere.

So, faced with a choice between "doing the right thing" to help Ukraine at the cost of potentially sacrificing their own political majorities, radical Democrats will not hesitate to abandon Ukraine -- most especially when they can credibly blame it on Republicans.

This has been my prediction since Day One, in February 2022.
I hope I'm dead wrong, I don't want to be right about this, but as of today, it doesn't look good for Ukraine.

What kind of pseudo-Christian bullcrap are you throwing at me now? Lolol!

[Rocco DiPippo]

I’m in for $100 the instant it happens. Anyone else?

[bimboeruption]

Great idea.

Count me in.

Putting an end to the anti-American propaganda on this site is worth it.

[bimboeruption]

From 12/5/23 thread...

To: bimboeruption; MinorityRepublican; rxh4n1
bimboeruption: “Denys Davydov is cited by mommy as a source for the vast majority of propaganda she posts.
Listed below are his YouTube estimated earnings for the last 10 months totaling $218.5K.”

Key points about Davydov:

Davydov is just one of many who report regularly on news from Ukraine.
These are all based on public news reports and war-maps available from several sources.

Davidov is arguably the most popular of these Ukraine oriented YouTubers, making him most valuable in presenting publicly known facts about Ukraine to the world.

If Davydov’s current income is indeed $218,000 that compares to earnings of a senior airline pilot, which was his pre-war job.

Pilots earn circa $400,000 per year, so if anything, Davydov has taken a pay cut.

There is no evidence proving Davydov is a “draft dodger”.

Beyond a YouTube address, there is no proof he’s actually living in Switzerland.

Davydov is a married family man.
There’s no evidence to support Mocker’s claims he is “partying and living large” in Switzerland.

Any suggestions about UMCRevMom@aol.com “Do you think mommy is getting a kickback?” are simply malicious insults, in violation of normal FR rules and so have no proper place on Free Republic, imho.

Response...To: BroJoeK

Denys was a pilot for Skyup, a low-cost airline out of Kiev, Ukraine.

According to SalaryExplorer, the HIGH (pay attention, I said HIGH.) monthly salary for a Ukrainian pilot with 20+ years of experience and a Master’s Degree is 65,500 UAH per month which equates to 1785.2468509 USD per month. (2023 figures)

65,500 UAH X 12 = 786,000 UAH

786,000 UAH = 21,422 USD

From the site: Pay Scale Structure

To provide a better understanding of expected salaries, we categorized the frequently occurring salaries into different ranges. This approach provides a more precise representation of salary distribution for the job title Pilot in Ukraine compared to simply calculating the average. The majority of reported salaries, approximately 65%, fall within the range of 23,900 UAH to 34,300 UAH. About 20% of salaries are below the 23,900 UAH mark, while 10% fall within the range of 34,300 UAH to 39,000 UAH. Only 5% of individuals have salaries exceeding 39,000 UAH.

$400.000 a year is a salary for a First World pilot...not a Third World pilot.

To sum it up, Denys makes over $200,000 more per year shilling his propaganda on YouTube than he did as a Uke pilot.

I’m in for $100 if that happens. And I’ve already done my Q4 donation. This would be an “extra.”

By abetting war criminals, guilt attaches

The worst sin though is confusing American politics with unrelated world events. That is the result of general ignorance

[Worldtraveler once upon a time]

You missed or evaded the question.

Can you prove with a citation or two that tennmountainman actually 1) condones Russian war crimes, and 2) becomes a war criminal?

[tennmountainman]

Neither Russia nor Ukraine are my Countries.
Not my problem.
What I do despise is Ukraine propaganda being posted every night on this site.
I would say the same about Russia Propaganda being posted on this site as well.
There is a difference in credible news and Propaganda.
