Fun fact: The weaker Russia gets, the stronger Red China and the Globalists get. Which side are you guys on again ? It ain’t ours.

Not sure how you support a authoritarian Russian regime in the name of freedom. Its like supporting a hypothetical North Korean invasion of South Korea. Sure it will hurt Globalism, but the people in South Korea will lose all freedom.

The stronger Turkey gets. Russia is the only reason Turkey hasn't tried to put The Ottoman Empire back together.

"Not sure how you support a authoritarian Russian regime in the name of freedom."

Quite easy, because the alternative is far worse than anyone here cares to imagine. I've addressed that countless times. How anyone here can support a failed state like Ukraine, used for child sex-trafficking and all manner and sort of corrupt and evil practices for globalist monsters - on a Conservative website no less - is what is utterly bizarre.

"Its like supporting a hypothetical North Korean invasion of South Korea. Sure it will hurt Globalism, but the people in South Korea will lose all freedom."

The Globalists would prefer a totalitarian state like North Korea, where they have absolute control. So your argument is absolutely backwards. Remember their mantra, "You will own nothing, and you will be happy." That is a perfect description of North Korea.

Try telling that to the 15 million Ukrainian refugees who will have no homes and neighborhoods and no political freedoms in Russian occupied police states. fieldmarshaldj says "its because the alternative is far worse". Okay

Ukrainian short-range ballistic missile known variously as Grom, Grim, Grim-2, and Hrim-2, 1100lb warhead, 170 mile range ...

Does Ukraine Have A Stash Of Domestically Developed Ballistic Missiles?
A possible high-profile long-range attack on a Russian airbase has led many to wonder if Ukraine has a pocket arsenal of ballistic missiles.

If the Russian forces also take Kryvyi Rih and Dnipro they will have about 75-80% of Ukraine's pre-war GDP under their control. Russia's war effort is currently financed by the 'west' which pays for it through record energy prices created by its own sanctions on Russia.

As the Russian Interfax agency reported yesterday (machine translation):

The positive balance of the current account of the balance of payments of the Russian Federation in January-July 2022 amounted to $166.6 billion, which is 3.3 times more than in the same period in 2021 ($50.1 billion). Such information is contained in the assessment of the balance of payments of the Russian Federation, published on the website of the Bank of Russia.

...

According to the base scenario of the Central Bank’s forecast for 2022, updated in July, with an average annual oil price of $80 per barrel, the current account surplus is expected to be $243 billion, the positive balance of foreign trade in goods and services - $277 billion, and the negative balance of primary and secondary income - $33 billion. If the 'west' really wants to deprive Russia of money it must immediately lift the sanctions and restart importing oil, gas and coal from Russia at then much lower prices.

Russia will not lack money to finance the rebuilding of Novorossiya's great industries. Once that is done those areas are evidently able to support themselves and to guarantee a high standard of living. They will also have enough money to militarily defend themselves against anything the poor rest of Ukraine will be able to finance.

At the end of March, after negotiations between Russia and Ukraine in Turkey, there was nearly an agreement on a ceasefire and on the end of the war. Joe Biden then tasked Boris Johnson with telling Zelensky to continue the war. The 'west' would otherwise stop paying him. Zelensky did as he was told and stopped all negotiations with Russia.

An agreement with Russia at that time would have kept the Ukraine mostly as one state with only minor losses in the Donbas. But the decision to continue the hopeless war also ended all chances for Ukraine to keep its riches.

It will be poor and helpless while its 'western' neighbors will feast on it.

Too bad they don’t turn on the real cause for their predicament: decades of corrupt political leaders selling out their country to globalist criminals. They need to hang Zelensky, Soros and other globalist scum from lampposts. But instead, those people will continue to be needlessly sacrificed by those same leaders who lie to them to hold onto power and privilege. So, yeah, there’s THAT.

It’s more than past time that you quit accusing people who don’t agree with you of being Soros bots

It’s not true. It’s intellectually dishonest. It’s boring

Spamming this Conservative website with globalist warmongering propaganda for Soros is boring and banal. If you want to pimp the leftist agenda, go to DU or any of the other 99% of leftist internet websites. Keep that crap off of JimRob’s website.

🇺🇸 Good link / Good info -

Totally plausible.

Someone in RU has to be at least be theorizing there may be a version of GRIM-2, or another platform, which can reach out to 310 miles, of course limited to the warhead type.

There were at least 4 large blasts which were similar in form.

Yesterday, there were several other blasts which were not fully captured, the aftermath of which is more indicative of a MGM-140 ATACMS type cluster ordinance. Lockheed has a version of this which can also reach out to approx 300 miles, but the MGM-140’s would have been sufficient to beyond yesterday’s strike distance.

So there were probably two types of ordinance.

Large and measured target area for sure.

There are reports of well over 30 RU jets destroyed, as well as helo’s. There were also reports of greater casualties, but suppressed of course.

It is also possible, older systems could have been significantly upgraded.

When you and yours stop pimping the Soros/Zelensky/Stalinazi warmongering degenerate globalist garbage and spam on a Conservative website, you won’t have to worry about being criticized. I mean, you act shocked and surprised when you post the equivalent of “Pedo/Whore in ‘24” propaganda. Are you that stupid ?
