"Control your own and your teenager's showers and when you turn off the water say 'take that, Putin!'"

Can Germans say that when they beat their kids too, or is it only reserved for when they take showers with them on Brandon's advice?

In the good old days Jim Robinson would’ve banned your pro-Soviet newbie ass, FSB, in a New York minute… But not any more I guess

“Okay, we go with your plan and they die a horrible and painful death. Thanks for goading em into this terrible situation.”

I goaded no one into anything.

From your various posts, you sound like you advocate surrender as the first resort. Easy surrenders are generally followed by easy tongues. No limiting you to just name, rank and serial number. I sure as hell would not want you in any outfit I was in.

I see you’re Canadian; I always thought Canadians were made of sterner stuff. Historically, they were. I guess the spirit of Passchendaele and Juno Beach wasn’t passed down to subsequent generations. More’s the pity.

I am not a surrender first guy.
I am a realist.
The Russians had this won in the first few days.
I would not run head first into a woodchipper to prove something.

I would regroup to fight when my side had ammo, food, fuel, communications, and a better plan

I will fight for my Country

I will not fight for Globalist’s, nor Nazi’s.

“I would not run head first into a woodchipper to prove something.”

I said nothing about “running head first into a woodchipper to prove something;” that’s your baby. I said fight, and don’t surrender; because unless you can fully trust your captor, you and yours are dead...or worse.

Get it, Sparky?

“I will not fight for Globalist’s, nor Nazi’s.”

Ah, you’ve bought into the “Nazi” slander, I see. That’s what the Putin water-carriers on FR trot out ad nauseam. And, they usually chime in with, “Putin is anti-Nazi!”

Think for just a second: Nazism is fascist nationalism. And there is no question that Putin is a nationalist. There’s also no question that Putin is a fascist. It’s a time-honored tactic of totalitarians to accuse others of doing or being what they themselves are. Putin employed the term “Nazi” against Ukraine (ALL of Ukraine, not just a battalion of fighters in Mariupol), because he knew it would get traction, and would get the gullible to think his war was just. And he hooked in the gullible like the fish they are.

“Globalist’s war?” Putin started this war; Putin is responsible for this war. Are you now calling him a globalist?

This war is about natural resources, especially fossil fuels; and the Donbas is rich in those resources. Russia wants to eliminate any local competition as an energy producer, as Russia’s only real economic game is energy; it has nothing else to speak of. You think Russia cares about the separatists in the Donbas? If Zelensky were to propose Donbas autonomy, but the natural resources remain Ukraine’s, Putin would tell him to f**k off.

Uke’s and mercenaries are hunkered down underground at the Azovstal iron and steel work.
They are in the dark, low (out of??) on water.

Sounds like the perfect place for you to make a last stand, right Sparky.
Go. For. It. Be. A. Hero.

My war start date is 2014.
The Uke army killed 50,000 (???) folks living in eastern Ukraine.
Those folks in Eastern Ukraine had enough! They declared independence and are now fighting back.

BTW, the Uke’s now conscripting 16 to 70 year old’s into the Army. I guess their crack head leader wants everyone to participate in the victory over muh Russia.

Sparky, here’s your big chance, run to Ukraine and join the resistance! They need you!

Your screen name will get you canceled now during the latest Current Thing campaign. Apparently it is 1958 and Kruschev is still running things by the standards around here. Never mind old Nikita was basically from Ukraine. At least raised there LOL

Nice try. Straw man fallacy. Care to try again?

“My war start date is 2014.”

YOUR war? Are you there? Unless you are, and you’re fighting, stop with the drama.

“The Uke army killed 50,000 (???) folks living in eastern Ukraine.”

And your source for that is? Funny, because before Russia invaded it had widely been reported that the “Ukes” killed 14,000 in Donbas. Now it’s 50,000? And how many folks did the separatists kill, along with their Russian allies (yeah, Russia had troops in Donbas since 2014)?

“Those folks in Eastern Ukraine had enough! They declared independence and are now fighting back.”

When they declared independence they declared civil war.

“BTW, the Uke’s now conscripting 16 to 70 year old’s into the Army. I guess their crack head leader wants everyone to participate in the victory over muh Russia.”

Ah, YOUR Russia. Now we get to the heart of it. As for conscripting 16 - 70 year olds, do you have a source for that? Anyway, when your country, and home, face an existential threat, I would expect every male of those ages to want to join in the defense, unless they are physically unable to, or are cowards.

“Sparky, here’s your big chance, run to Ukraine and join the resistance! They need you!”

I’m not Ukrainian, and it’s not my home or my country. So, why should I? But if I was, and they were, I’d most definitely fight to defend them (and I’m in my 70s).

BTW: Do you even have the slightest idea who Sparky is?

The Moscow propaganda is strong on FreeRepublic. What the Putinistas lack in facts, they make up with their self-assured arrogance. The way they support Putin’s crimes I’m sure they could be comfortable supporting Pol Pot as well.

It's amusing to me that some of the same people who so objected to the MSM coverage of

Strange isn't it. The visceral hatred of Russia is hard for me to understand. I've long felt Russia's invasion was a monumental blunder by Putin and I really feel for the Ukrainian people, but K is a scum bag too and this war is as much his fault as it is Putin's. The Crimea is Russian and has been since the time of Catherine the Great.

More than you, it seems. At least I try to employ logic and reason; whereas you employ snark and non-sequiturs and straw man fallacies because you know you can’t support your position with sound argument.
