This one is really amazing, starts about 4:40 into the video

This one should end any debate as to what is happening over there.
“Every accusation of Russian atrocities rings true because it matches 250+ years of Russian behavior. You people are deranged.”
Be careful about living in a glass house throwing stones.
Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afgnastain, Libya, Syria
No need to go back 250 years — 70 years will do the trick. That list does not include the number of clandestine regime changes like Ukraine, Pakistan, and a whole host of others.
Thank you Patrick Lancaster for disclosing the truth!
fwiw...I’m hearing that the OSCE cleared out of Mariupol in a hurry and left behind A LOT of documentation that never made it into their official reports. This comes after confessions from some of their team that OSCE was forwarding logistics to the Ukr Ministry of Defense in clear violation of their charter.
“fwiw...I’m hearing that the OSCE cleared out of Mariupol in a hurry and left behind A LOT of documentation that never made it into their official reports.”
No surprise, literally EVERY Leftist operation had their fingers in Ukraine, which is also why many here support them.
Yeah, Russia is bussing in elderly Russians into the middle of a war zone just to give pro-Russian viewpoints to "pro-Russian" (actually, independent) journalists.
Tell me you've never been to east Ukraine without telling me you've never been to east Ukraine.
Same for Iraq: the Iraqi factions killed multiples of the civilians killed by American forces.
I'm not even sure why Korea is on the list. It's certainly a success story today.
In Vietnam we simply applied the same techniques used against Germany and Japan 20 years earlier. Apparently killing Communists in the same manner suddenly became a war crime.
Libya was a sideshow where the Brits and French took the lead and, again, the locals massacred each other.
I do actually give the Russians some slack: if you assault a city, some civilians are going to be killed as collateral damage, especially by artillery. But the Russian use of artillery seems deliberately indiscriminate, and there's no excuse for those tied up and executed, not to mention the raping and looting.
Freepers “
Cold warriors 2022
Dismiss Patrick even though he’s been there in this for years in Donbass
And yet they are here getting daily doses from western globalist media as big tech colludes to stop any info outside their narrative
People here often even if well meaning ignore truth that they don’t like
Free Republic has always been this way
Headlines only
And personal attacks if you have nothing else
Or even if you do
You learn many folks on social media are anonymous and not real nice
In the old days with freeper events we had many public Freepers so folks were less likely to show out
Now it’s sorta twittery
Especially over this conflict
I’ve folllwed Lancaster a long time ...he’s quirky no question but he is there and he often has citizens giving their side
The nastiness from both sides and he helps folks when he can at great personal risk
One thing I notice is how attractive a lot of Ukrainian Russian ethnic or not women are when middle aged
Even in a blasted out war zone
Getting the infirm out of the war zone is a task
It’s hell no question of that ....he had a Grey haired fifty something lady last month
Spoke English ....beautiful
Most fighting age men are otherwise occupied it seems
You’re uninformed
He’s been in Donbass since 2014 or around that time
Educate yourself,
He also criticizes Russians and Russian ethnic separatists
Ironic you tout propaganda isn’t it
You’re swimming in it
Did you believe the media about trump ?
Same folks you know
The u are not well informed
Seriously
Read about him and what he has to say
Then we’ll talk if you’d like
Politely
Oh bullshit
Jesus
Do you think Russia is still a communist nation?
These people seriously think Russia is still a communist nation
Why
Cause it doesn’t fit your narrative
It’s exactly what those of us here who’ve followe Donbass since 2014 know ...to best out knowledge to be fairly accurate
You do know 14,000 folks died there before this
At hands of Azov inc mostly
Nice post
Lost on name callers
Thank u
They smear anything does not fit the narrative the media feeds them
It’s sad truly
Do u think Russia is a communist nation
In 2022
None of yall ever answers that simple question
Do u think Russia is a communist nation today
Folks can disagree with you without the name calling
Notice
No one challenges his points
Just ad hominem
This is what the pro Zelensky folks here always do
It would be nice to see a civil thread with actual somewhat proven data is discussed
Western media is ensconced at the Hyatt in Ukraine or another nite hotel with water and lights on in this total war ....according to some here
They just pass on what NGOs and Zelensky bots feed them to their outlets
Lancaster is in Mariupol and has been for years ..
I mean come on man..lol
14000 killed when Putin invaded in 2014
The 5 stages of arguing with a pro Putin post
1. He denies: you tell him that the Moskva sank or that Russian troops committed massacres in bucha. He demands proofs that aren’t the satellite images or the videos or the accounts from witnesses. He rejects them as Jewish in origin
2. Anger. He deigns anger and complains that we are always accusing Russia of things like Katyn etc.
3. Deflection. He then equivocated, saying “hey the USA did similar in iraq, Vietnam, etc”
4. Depression. He runs out of lies and asks why we are picking in him with facts.
5. Acceptance. Much later he laughs in your face and says he did it and you couldn’t do anything about it.
Rossiya stronk
So, I guess this post is at level 3?
You don't get to be embedded with Russian troops, if you are going to be objective.
I have many Ukrainian friends and an especially dear friend that is currently in a village in Lugansk, with her family.
What she and other friends in Ukraine tell me is at complete odds with what Lancaster "reports".
Some of the stories that she tells, of the violence and intimidation, towards Ukrainians, from pro Russian civilians, separatist militias and Russian troops is sickening and terrifying.
