bte: [...] no amount of weapons is going to make Ukraine defeat The Russian Federation [...]

alex: Let's see you present your evidence for this bold assertion! We'd all like to hear your concise, logical arguments."

Susquehanna Patriot: - 20 years in Afghanistan, weaponized. American people lied to for 20 years about what was needed to win in Afghanistan

Huh? What does the lackluster performance of the U.S. in Afghanistan - or any alleged lying to the American public - have to do with your proving that the Ukrainians will allegedly fail to expel the Russians from their homeland? If anything, that speaks in favor of the belief that invaders generally fail!

- Mentally deficient, political hack Xiden the Trojan Horse in the White House except on weekends.

Huh? What does Biden's mental incompetence have to do with your proving that the Ukrainians will allegedly fail to expel the Russians from their homeland?

- Russia won’t give up what it has captured, no amount of weapons to Ukraine will change that.

Bold assertion made without supporting evidence!

Regards,

George Soros and Lying Joe Biden might not allow him to sue for peace. This is where Lying Joe’s dirty money is coming from. When one sells one’s soul to the Devil. He usually collects.

I see what you mean. They’re all in sync on the money. The Oligarchs always figure in their share.

Shut your douche-hole already... you sound like some flailing bitch.

Go whine into your shirt-sleeve instead of becoming a public ass on every SINGLE uke thread.

Many of them voted for the $40 billion to Ukraine. They are all in with this debacle. Wait for them to change their tune as Russia takes more control over the Donbas and the coast.

To restore Ukraine, 750 billion dollars are needed, Kiev sees confiscated assets of the Russian Federation as the main source of financing - Prime Minister of Ukraine

One could see some escalation as the Ukrainians and the Europeans get more desperate. Biden says we are at war.

Russia Minister of Defense reports Ukraine casualties for last two weeks in report given to Putin.

https://t.me/s/anna_news

Putin listened to Shoigu’s report on the progress of the operation in the Donbass and Ukraine.

Shoigu:

▪️The Russian military successfully liberated the territory of the LPR.

▪️Lisichansk has been liberated, mine clearance is underway.

▪️The Armed Forces of Ukraine lost 5,469 people and dozens of pieces of equipment in two weeks.

Putin:

▪️The units of the RF Armed Forces that liberated the LPR should rest and increase their combat capabilities.

▪️The united groups “East” and “West” will carry out their tasks according to the previous plan.

▪️Commanding generals Lapin and Abachev must be awarded the title of Hero of Russia.

Funny, how pointing out that Russian conquered areas have much less freedom then before, seams to really touch a nerve with some FReepers.

I saw a lot of people, the higher ups in the Ukraine politics, or buy a multi million dollar properties in Switzerland. I guess they’re preparing their bolt holes, No doubt but with US funds.

Russia isn’t winning this war. Ukraine’s government has not been ousted, your scumbag friends have been slaughtered in droves, Russia is isolated and growing weaker, Ukraine is joining the EU and it is now a certainty that they will one day join NATO.

My only question now is will China retake Siberia this year or next?

Wrong nationality there lol. Democrats would love to impose a Chinese social credit score here while sending neocons off to fight windmills in Ukraine.

I’ll have to pass on “democracy” if that means jailing “climate deniers,” putting male perverts in little girls’ bathrooms, declaring Bible believing Christians “hate criminals,” tearing down “racist” interstate highways, banning gasoline powered cars after a certain date, “abolishing whiteness,” “drag queen story hour” in kindergarten classrooms, etc. I damn sure wouldn’t fight the Russians to protect any of the aforementioned depravity and oppression, which is rampant in the western world.

You're being ridiculous. Russia HAS NO FREEDOM OF SPEECH or FREEDOM OF THE PRESS or FREEDOM OF ASSEMBLY, RELIGION, etc. Its moronic to not understand that Ukrainians are fighting for their freedoms against Putin, a 20 year ruler who has changed the constitution so he can rule another 25 years.

Call a tranny by the “wrong” pronoun in western Europe and see how much “FREEDOM of SPEECH” you have there ALL CAPS. I’ll get hot and bothered about Russia’s elections as soon as Democrats quit stealing ours...
