I have no idea what war they are talking about. Ukraine never replenished the equipment they lost in 2014. Their air force does not exist anymore, they don’t have armor to speak of, and so on.

The Ukrainians have been blowing up Russian tanks in Donetsk, artillery placements, and shooting Russian solders, etc., even within the past few weeks in Donetsk, and filming it too. All this in retaliation for nearly constant--for years now--cease fire violations by the Russian side as documented by every independent monitor that is over there.

I know that you, as a fake "Norse," and a 100% drunk Russian, get a stiffy thinking about the invincible Russian army and the feeble Ukrainian army, but it just isn't true and you know it.

Is this a payoff to the Ukrainian contacts of Joe and Hunter Biden?

Biden needs this distraction. Don’t think Putin is falling for it. Watch the CIA set up a False Flag and say it was the Russians. Getting pathetic when the Russians are more trusted to be honest with us than our own Government!

I guess they didn’t lose enough military hardware in Afghanistan so now they wanna lose it in Ukraine.

Raytheon, Lockheed, General Dynamics et al are not sad when we "lose" hardware, because it will always be replaced. Whether we need it or not.

I never understood going through Belarus.

Gdansk, Warsaw, Kyiv.

Not much longer a route, it keeps inside Poland. Everyone likes driving through Poland to a war.

And this only applies if the máteriels aren’t flown into Kyiv.

There had been ALOT of cargo planes flying into in the last couple of days.

“The goal is to have Ukranians fight Russians, preferably in a long, drawn-out, painful war which hobbles both of them.”

Six people died during the Crimean takeover. I doubt the Ukrainians really want to defend their country against an overwhelming force. If their government was corruption free and ran well, I am sure there would be a greater fight. But it simply one of the most corrupt countries in the world.

“The deep state is all about sowing chaos, which it controls”.

Exactly. for them, it would be a fantastic distraction from the chaos they’ll sow on the domestic front. With the help of their lapdog media of course.

More than 13,000 Ukrainians have died so far in this conflict with millions dispersed across the country. Ukrainian militia and poorly trained soldiers were fighting in desperate conditions to hold back the push of the Russians. One of the more famous examples of this was the Second Battle of Donetsk Airport where comparatively few Ukrainian militia and soldiers held the airport for 4 or 5 months against constant Russian artillery and tank advances.

Right now, there are regular Ukrainian people volunteering for things like cleaning machine guns, preparing supplies, etc.

They will absolutely fight, and will probably fight heroically as they've already been doing. The problem is that it is nearly impossible to win due to overwhelming Russian airpower.

This is rash and ridiculous of the Biden administration.

So, Biden approaches Putin from position of weakness?

What is the worst thing that could happen?

God help Poland!

They always get the worst of any war in this part of the world.

You are an idiot, Puny. Show me any official report consisting of evidence of the presence of the Russian troops in LDNR. Where are the POWs? For all 8 years they managed to produce a dozen of unarmed conscripts who made a wrong turn at the border. This “Russian-Ukrainian” war only exists in the media. If Russia wanted it could kill off Ukraine by cutting energy and food trade. 100% of diesel in Ukraine comes from Russia and Belarus. Tanks don’t operate without diesel. All the Ukrainian coal to run power plants come from Russia or DNR.

How many of 13,000 are Ukrainians killed by their government? That’s like 9000 of them.

The “lost” Russian airborne troops captured in Ukraine don’t count? How about the “lost” latest generation Russian tank in well known Banderist Graham Phillips youtube video? Etc., etc., etc.

Only true believers and morons believe your Putinist fairy tales. Always good for a laugh, though. Thanks.

Yep right, 12 unarmed troops lost at the border over 8 years of large-scale war.
I have no idea what a tank is supposed to prove even if true. There are Javelin missiles as well in Ukraine. Does it mean the US and Russia are fighting?

You can find an online database tracking open source intelligence positively identifying active duty Russian military in Donetsk. And not just people “making the wrong turn” driving 50 miles into Ukraine and engaging in combat operations, or a “dozen unarmed conscripts” whom the Russian military had not yet removed from their official database, but in large numbers:

Informnapalm is a low-quality propaganda source. It is 100% phony. I am asking about official sources like OSCE etc.

OK

"OSCE IMAGERY SHOWS THE RUSSIAN ARMY CROSSING INTO UKRAINE"

https://glasnostgone.org/2020/06/12/the-routes-used-by-the-russian-army-to-cross-the-ukrainian-border/

"Despite the strict limits imposed on the Observer Mission’s mandate and operating procedures, the Mission has still been able to document Russia’s destabilizing and destructive activity in eastern Ukraine. The Observer Mission has observed more than 30,000 individuals in military-style dress crossing just at the two checkpoints to which it has access."

https://osce.usmission.gov/response-chief-observer-observer-mission-russian-border-checkpoints-gukovo-donetsk-statement-pc/

BTW, pretty bizarre that you cite the USCE despite shitting on them in the past the last time I cited them.
