Can’t wait for the Uki flag wavers

“Russia will take somewhere between a third and half the country and keep it.”

So you admit it. Russia’s war on Ukraine is a naked grab for territory and resources, a violation of another country’s sovereignty. Innocent Ukrainians raped, tortured and murdered by vladolf’s orcs, just because they can. And you think it’s wonderful, and correct, and should continue.

How many rubles are you earning for pushing this crap on FR, vatnik?

The globalists are loving this Slavic death fest. It erodes further Western culture. Notice that the UN, the Vatican and the Peace Now groups are not offering to sponsor peace talks or even making the pretense of trying to mediate the conflict. The only disappointment for the globalists thus far is that the US is not at war with Russia.

We don’t have to rebuild any of it if Russia could just take the whole thing over.

You heard that Ukrainians were destroying Russian armor in large numbers to blunt the Russian advance.

When a writer claims large numbers of Russian armor was not destroyed, and it did not blunt the Russian advance, their credibility is placed in question.

Advice for the war cheerleaders...

No Freeper I know of supports putting boots on the ground for either side. Well, except for one pro-Russian poster who seemed to think the CIA should off Zelenskyy because reasons.

Someone posted a story here several days ago (I cannot find it with the search) that talked about how neither side wants the war to end.

Ukrainian leadership gets billions from the west and they are asking something like $750 billion to rebuild. Much of that money will wind up in their pockets, not with Ukrainian citizens.

Russia does not want this to stop because they intend on building a multipolar world, and they said so at the beginning of the war. By forcing Europe and the United States to spend money they do not have Russia can remove the financial ability of the west to effectively wage more wars.

So it seems it’s a game of who can financially outlast whom.

Not happening, West Germany was set back two decades “ reuniting ‘ eastern Germany, South Korea same- they don’t need a basket case of a nation to feed, house, rebuild… fact is much chatter lately about the EU carving up post war Ukraine, Poland gets their historical territory, Romania and Hungary also gets theirs.

Vlad keeps his historic Russian territory, that leaves a small piece to the ethnic Ukies. Sounds good to me.

I am not a military expert by any means, but if Russia has not achieved its goals five months after it has invaded Ukraine, I just can not see it as a sign of Russian military expertise or glory.

This is not to say that Russia can’t or won’t take over as much of Ukraine as it wants, but I have to believe the cost has much higher than Putin ever expected.

It shouldn’t be either our circus or our monkeys but Clinton did promise Ukraine help when they gave up their nukes.

You missed one fact, China/ Russia/ India, most of SA and Africa are now in alliance. Vegetable head’s weaponizing the USD and his sanctions suicided the west. Why is the West so intent on committing suicide?

….gay marriage, Trans LGXYZ’s, boys in girls bathrooms, men in woman’s sports, unchecked immigration, …it is ironic China,Russia , and India is our only hope left against that immoral, suicidal agenda.

Rickards ... is he the TD Bank guy?

Maybe I have him confused with someone else.

TD Bank locked down the truckers' bank accounts in Canada a few months ago.

You are obviously not a military expert or historian. Check your history, Vietnam, Korea, WW2, “the war on terror”, French Indo China, Algeria, etc….then realize the sheer size of Ukraine, …..

This will help you out:
