They should read up on the Siege of Sevastopol to get an idea of what Ivan is capable of before they go over there to fight.

How many? Is this a few dozen, hundreds, or thousands? How many Americans? How many injured or killed?

Let me get this straight. When you go into a war isn’t the possibility of getting killed part of the deal.
I’ll take my chances playing in the traffic.

510 confirmed by obituaries in the Ukrainian media, maybe twice that many MIA.

The reddit limp wrist brigade hilariously failed.
But at least those larpers had the guts to go themselves, our war mongers in forum want the rest of us to go -kids and all- for their war adventure.

That’s what irks me. The goal of dragging every NATO country into this stupidity.
Canada out of NATO now !

It's ALL GOOD, since the Ukrainians won't admit that these Western chumps are dead.
That means they're not really dead.

Same, watching them smugly snark at everyone over it.
And they don’t care about the reality of what their holy grail of war entails.

Some of them are bloodthirsty and downright crazy.

The true believers who “eat up” Anglo-American propaganda-information are often on the “short end of the stick.”
I admire their courage, but they’re fools, fools who are dying for foreigners & a foreign cause, which has no relevance to the security position of the United States.
1)Western Hemisphere
2)Asia
3)Middle East
4)Europa
This is the list of regions that I’d go to war for, if The United States is threatened by a foreign power.
The first two regions are way more important than regions 3 & 4.

It was the Russians who thought it would be easy because they packed their parade uniforms.

Sounds a lot like the ... uh, volunteers for the International Brigades who fought against Franco in the Spanish Civil War ...

You can get an accurate tally from the Telegram Channel “Track a Nazi Merc”
A whole lot of dead mercenaries. Some did it for money, via the US taxpayer funded contracts, some did it because the CIA reprogrammed their fear/hate matrix to actually think it would be fun to fight Russian artillery with small arms, and some because they saw the Ukrainian propaganda commercials of models holding airsoft guns and they thought they’d get lucky.

I think that is an apt comparison. Fighting for a romantic cause.
