President Volodymyr Zelenskyy doesn’t have the negative view of his height as Putin obsessive thoughts about his height.

Some signs of Putin’s poor body image:

• Focuses excessive attention on a minor flaw in his
appearance.
• Views his height as unattractive.
• Fears others will note his so-called deformity: height
• Consistently hides his perceived flaw with clothes.
• Compares one’s appearance with other people.
• Needs reassurance: by attempting not to look short in official photos

wildcard_redneck: "We are suffering under an illegitimate communist regime sponsoring ethnic replacement and invasion of America yet you want us to fight and die in a war 5000 miles away overseas."

Again, you can only blame yourself for our porous borders, because you didn't do what was needed to get Pres. Trump reelected.
I didn't either, it's my fault too.
Hopefully, we will correct that problem by November.

Russkiy Mir Alexander Dugin & Vlad the Invader
recreating the Old Tsarist Russian Empire:

But you can't blame Ukrainians for what you failed at, and you shouldn't project your own mental angst onto me, or invent lies about me.

We need to man-up and do what's necessary.

In Ukraine, thank God, that does not include sending American forces to fight and kill Russians, so long as Ukrainians are willing and able to fight for themselves.
But if Ukraine is effectively destroyed, and Vlad the Invader's Russkiy Mir adds Ukraine to his old Russian Empire, then other countries, including NATO will come next, and then we will have to fight.

Except now, instead of being 5,000 miles away in Eastern Ukraine, the battle will be just 4,000 miles away in Poland.
Do you understand how that works?

wildcard_redneck: "I think you are too stupid to fight the real enemy or you are just outright lying.
You disgust me."

Naw, all you're doing here is projecting your own mental chaos onto me.
So here's what I know for certain:

1942 Second World War
included 7 major theaters simultaneously:

  1. During the Second World War the US fought in seven theaters, with dozens of campaigns and hundreds of major battles, simultaneously.
    WWII theaters included:
    • European Theater
    • Pacific Theater
    • North African Theater
    • Mediterranean Theater
    • China-Burma-India Theater
    • The Atlantic Theater against U-boats
    • The Strategic Air Theater bombings

  2. The Cold War also included several theaters, some of which overlapped in time and space:
    • Korean War
    • Vietnam War
    • Russia's Afghanistan War
    • Middle Eastern Conflicts
    • Ideological warfare against Communism
    • Cuba, Caribbean and Latin America
    • Strategic Nuclear Deterrence
    • The Space Race
So now, in Cold War II we have a new Axis of Evil Dictators and several theaters of war, some old others brand new:

Countries by Democracy Index --
shades of blue = more democratic, shades of red/black = dictatorships

  1. Ukraine and NATO
  2. Middle East, Israel & Iran
  3. Southwestern Pacific and Taiwan
  4. Northwestern Pacific and Korea
  5. Competition for technological superiority
  6. Competition for economic advantage as US relative strength recedes
  7. Information warfare on a scale never before seen
  8. Cultural/political warfare by "woke" neo-Marxists against traditional family and constitutional values -- collapsing birth rates in advanced countries
  9. Massive global migrations encouraged by elites in order to disenfranchise their own conservative citizens
  10. What am I missing here?
My point is, just as in World War II and Cold War I, in Cold War II we must still be able to walk and chew gum at the same time.
We have to contest in multiple interrelated theaters and we have to win them all.

We cannot just abandon some theaters while wringing our hands over others.
No, we have to work them all, and we have to do them simultaneously.

To do anything else would be both stupid and dishonest, imho.

bimboeruption: "FYI, your globohomo grifter hero Zelensky and Putin are the same height, 5’7”.
I’m surprised that the omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent mommy didn’t know this."

There's no doubt that Putin is the bigger man, beast or frog:

It is not easy to fake pride, when Putin and the entire Russian navy knows how they have performed. Russia has lost 1/3 its Black Sea Fleet to Ukraine, a country without a functional navy.

Now that Finland and Sweden have joined NATO, the Baltic Sea has a new nickname: "Lake NATO". That is not going to sit well with Putin. The Black Sea fleet is getting forced out of Crimea, and the North Sea fleet has always faced real navies.

So....

In the Civil War, when Grant took command of all US forces, he changed things. He went on the offensive everywhere and all at once to push the Confederates to limit and prevent them from concentrating forces. It was bloody, it wasn’t considered elegant by all the ‘smarter generals and historians’ but it was extremely effective.

Russia is killing untrained, poorly armed, and inexperienced recruits likely at staggering rates. No, nobody will ever know how many people the Russians will ‘waste’ in the war in Ukraine. Traditionally, you must have a 3:1 advantage to do effective operations, probably 6-10:1 with inexperienced soldiers. Hence the appreciation of ‘wave’ attacks. Losses of the Russians versus the Ukrainians are likely appallingly enormous as well.

The thing is the Russians have ALWAYS been willing to make that sacrifice. They are a stubborn people who cope with slaughter well, and will see things to the end. Like Grant, Putin will continue with a Universe of War pushing Ukraine’s resources until they fail or Ukraine gets enough airpower to change the land war.

>>>>A Kremlin insider said strict rules dictate no one can be taller than the president – who is believed to be between 5ft 2” and 5ft 5” – in official photos”.<<<<

More BS from the Copy and Paste Queen of FR.

putinheight3.jpg putinheight4.jpg

These are all "official photos", mommy, and I found them in less than 5 minutes.

More proof that you don't verify your sources, you just post whatever will get your point across even if it's a total lie.

The lies and propaganda never stop coming from the "REVEREND".

And you call yourself a “REVEREND”?

Here’s another verse you skipped over:

Ephesians 5:4
Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving.

My Grandfather escaped from Russia. His father served in the Czar’s band so was considered a ‘White Russian.’ His earliest memory was running down the street with his mother holding his hand with one hand & his brother’s hand with her other hand. Their village thatched roof farm home was in flames behind her.

His father, him and his brother made it to work in the mines to earn passage for his mother & two sisters. No child labor laws.

When his mom and sisters finally were re-united in the U.S., his mother spoke to him in Russian. He did not respond or answer her. She cried saying he had forgotten her.
Instead, my young grandfather said: “I am an American.”

He serving in WWI for two years to earn his U.S. Citizenship.

We all know you claim to be a “REVEREND” because you advertise it in every one of your posts.

Are you also a clinical psychiatrist in real life or just pretending to be one on FR?

Individuals vary. I use the generality of the Russian people. They have in the past, and likely will continue, to sacrifice in large numbers. They are a hard people historically speaking.

Posting your propaganda on someone else's thread again because your threads get ripped to sheds by pro-America FReepers confronting your outright lies?

It makes me giggle.
