The US troublemakers are going to get kicked out of Europe by popular demand before this is over.

If the Daily Mail isn’t reporting this story, it’s all lies! 🤣

I thought the Russians were running back to Moscow in defeat. 🙄

Zelensky himself yesterday:


As expected, the situation in Donbas is very difficult. The occupiers are trying to achieve in at least a hundred days of war the goals they hoped to achieve in the first days after February 24. Therefore, they concentrated maximum artillery, maximum reserves in Donbas. There are missile strikes and aircraft attacks - everything. We are protecting our land in the way that our current defense resources allow. We are doing everything to increase them. And we will increase them.


It sounds like the current situation was expected, so no big deal, the actor is working on the resources (the next 40 billions already).

“Reality settling in.”

Hopefully Ukraine finds a way to shake off the Neocons and starts to work make decisions in their interests, rather than continuing to be cannon fodder for the Neocon proxy war.

Time for Map History again. So many freepers seem to be hatchlings who were born last week, with no understanding of geography or history.

The point of the first map from 1914 is NOT to show Ukraine has no right to exist, or that it is Russian property. Same goes for Ireland, etc etc. The point is that central European borders have appeared, disappeared and shifted for centuries going back a thousand years. But suddenly, the latest "Bloodlands" border revision is worth risking nuclear WW3?

I am astonished at how so many people here (except for the trolls, who are obviously not a surprise) have failed to recognize that they are getting played by the government and media on the Ukraine just as they were on the Covid hoax (I do hope they are up-to-date on their toxic, unnecessary, ineffective shots).

Whatever anyone thinks about the merits of the sides in the war, it is clear, and has been, for those who read widely that the Russian military is slowly, methodically chopping the AFU to pieces in the Donbass. Moreover, anyone who pays attention to more than NATO/US propaganda understands that the Russian approach is designed to minimize it’s own and civilian casualties. The AFU has embedded in cities among the civilians (evil if Muslims do it, but apparently “O’tay” if Zelensky’s forces do it”) and is entrenched in extensive fortifications it has constructed during it’s 8 year war against the ethnic Russians in the Donbass. Don’t pay attention to Severodonetsk being about to fall and the AFU in the east about to be trapped in cauldrons and semi-cauldrons, just keep slurping up nonsense about the Russian force being decimated by the plucky AFU (including its 30%-40% neo-Nazi elements) and the continuing victories of the Ghost of Kiev and the heroic deeds of Miss Ukraine and her paintball gun.

What people here should be concerned about is having a senile President and his low IQ administration pushing the world to the brink of nuclear war. Oh, and yes, after the disclosure of there being at least 31 biowarfare labs in Ukraine, along with thousands of pounds of enriched uranium and plutonium, and the US/NATO bad faith on NATO expansion, combined with the Ukraine’s 8 year war against the Donbass, including civilians, the balance of equities lies with the Russians. I do find it hilarious that there seems to be little if any awareness here that the Poles are subtly working to regain Galicia (part of the Ukrainian west). Zelensky doesn’t seem to mind a semi-merger with Poland (which would do a better job of governing Ukraine).
People here might also wonder how long Biden can keep the rest of NATO roped into his disasterous foreign policy. The Euro is at about a $1 and futures markets see it breaking below a dollar. If the Russians turn off the gas, the EUSSR dies (along with WEF) economically...actually, not a bad thing no matter what you think of the war.

For the elderly here, Russia is not the Soviet Union...just in case you’ve forgotten (Prevagen might help). In addition, see if you can get it through your heads that this terrible war would not have happened if the West had kept it’s promises instead of looking to march up to the border of Russia.

Let’s go Brandon.
