No, they live in their own world where Putin is a great, beloved leader and a Christian. Using religion as a cultural tool for power doesn’t make one a follower of Christ.

Where is anyone saying the Ukrainians are suffering no losses?

There are far more Ukrainians than “neo-nazis” fighting the Russians.

And Zelensky is corrupt? Imagine that! What that has to do with the Russian aggression is beyond me. Its like excusing Mexico invading the US because Biden is illegitamate.

and “drones”. Didn’t specify what kind, but sounds like Switchblades.


If by “Switchblades” you mean the AeroVironment’s Switchblade 300/600 - there is no way the US would send in advanced tech (and certainly contain classified parts or software) which the UA cannot operate.

Putinistas and CCP propagandists on FR is the only place I’ve seen that line.

On a side note, I was unaware Spetsnaz was trained to do what you said. Didn’t know you had their training manual. Can you post a link to that chapter? Or the entire manual itself. Not saying that I don’t believe you, but I’d like to see the documents myself.

“Where is anyone saying the Ukrainians are suffering no losses?”

Where’s the tally of Ukraine’s military losses? I mean, I know they have defeated the Russian army 7 times so far today - we get the running tally from the Ministry Of Truth, 5 times a day.

But for some odd reason, there’s no mention anywhere of Ukraine military losses. Maybe they lost the sheet of paper they wrote in on?

“If you don’t believe anything, then you certainly must not believe that you’re making any difference crowing about how gullible you aren’t.”

It is also meaningless and adds nothing to the discussion. They may as well save Free Republic the bandwidth they use to post “I don’t believe _______________” [fill in the blank] fifty times a day.

Go to You Tube. There's video of dead Russian soldiers and lots of knocked armor.

It’s even in the MSM. Bloomberg has it, for heaven’s sake. Lt Colonal Nikolav died.

Why are you being silly?

Meanwhile, brave Ukrainian pilot sinks Russian Battleship! Off the coast of Odessa, the Russian battleship, Potemkin, was sunk in a kamikaze like attack by a brave Ukrainian pilot who dove his World War II era IL-2 Sturmovik straight down the smokestack of the giant ship. Over 1,400 Russian sailors reportedly drowned or were eaten by sharks!

Unlike during WW II, the Russians don’t have tens of millions in its Army today.

The way I look at it, if the Russians had things so well in hand Zelenskyy would not be making speeches to the US Congress.

Just look up Spetsnaz on wiki and various military sites that deal in unit descriptions. There are various military Russian sites that give those details. Its not a secret.

As for training manuals - maybe you are fluent in idiomatic military Russian, else they’d do you little good. You’s probably have to send off in your best Russian for them - If they even exist.

Which Drug cartel group is responsible for killing millions with munitions? Which Drug cartel group has reduced a city to rubble, then made it bounce several times for good measure.

Comparing a nation’s trained troops to drug cartels is silly - they are both different. Drug cartels only last or are as powerful as the demand for drugs.

Read EVERYTHING from armchair warriors in the US, thousands of miles from the real action, with a HUGE grain of salt!
