Yeah, Soros and the Dems lost interest in Ukraine once Putin started shooting in 2014. Obama sent blankets and told Merkel to deal with it then. Now Biden’s handlers spent 2021 ignoring military aid requests from Ukraine and partnering with Putin on a new Iran deal. Dems really want war on us and Trump. Ukraine would be SOL if not for the “Russia, Russia, Russia” nonsense.

Putin could see Brandon’s weakness and went to finish off Ukraine now. Unfortunately for him the Russian army is a corrupt garbage pile and the Ukrainians fought like wildcats for their land.

“I can’t wait to hear the spin after 12,000 UkroNazis are encircled and surrender in Severodonetsk later this week.”

Me too!

They are still fantasizing about Odesa? What a hilarious delusion. That’s never happening. There is no way US, Poland, etc., will ever allow Ukraine to be land locked.

If the Russian could feel some sort of threat from the
Ukraine, I think they’d fight with ferocity.

We’re not seeing their full force. I don’t think the
Russian people hate the Ukrainians, or see them as the
slightest threat.

They think pretty much what you and I do, that this
was a one military excursion too far.

Them Ruzzians know how to hunt down and destroy them HIMARs tho.....of 16 sent, 8 left.

“Without a credible air capability, Ukraine is incapable of launching any kind of ground offensive to oust Russians from Kherson or any other piece of territory controlled by Russia. If Ukraine is able to cobble together a regiment or two, supported by a tank battalion, the Ukrainian force will run into a wall of fire from Russian artillery, drones, missiles, helicopters and jet fighters. That is a suicide mission and I cannot understand why many of the military pundits populating the U.S. airwaves are afraid to acknowledge this reality. It cannot be ignorance. There is too much information on the internet that contradicts the flood of propaganda from western media and government sources insisting that Russia is stalled or losing. It is not.

.........

These guys and gals have one job–persuade the American people that they should continue to support sending billions of dollars in military gear and financial aid to Ukraine. Once the American people wake up and realize this is now a fool’s errand, the bamboozle will be over. But not completely. The propaganda campaign has poisoned future prospects for normal relations with Russia. That is dangerous. Not even during the darkest days of the Cold War did the United States try to isolate Russia and refuse to engage on the diplomatic level. A return to diplomacy appears as likely as a Ukrainian offensive to retake Crimea. It is not in the cards.”

You mean like the one where Ukraine was to raise a million man army and take back Kherson and Crimea among a host of other ‘predictions’ that ZelenskyyIdiot and Ukraine have made over the last 6 months that have utterly failed to come to fruition?!

Shoo fly......

“Understanding is a three edged sword: your side, their side, and the truth.”

I pretty much believe everyone is overstating their strength.

This is interesting, however:

Private Israeli intelligence firm @ImageSatIntl publishes satellite images showing that Russia has apparently moved its S-300 system out of Syria back to Russia

You do know that them S-300s among other air defense mechanisms are being largely used to shot down drones, HIMAR ‘precision’ rounds, etc., etc. given Ukraine barely has an air force left to be shot down? And what use are them S-300s doing in Syria collecting dust when they can/could be better utilized back in Russia or Ukraine?

I doubt it is the remains of the Ukrainian air force they would bring them home to counter.

Sarcasm?

At any rate, in short, as I indicated previously, the Russians are probably bringing them S-300 systems back to Russia/Ukraine cause they are useless - collecting dust - sitting in Syria.

Ukrainian drones are daily being shot down by the Russians.
HIMAR rounds are daily being shot down by the Russians.
Various other MRLS and mobile rocket artillery are being shot down daily by the Russians.

Success rates? Dunno.

That will be determined come conclusion of conflict/war no doubt. That said, those S-300 systems, among other Russian SAM systems, are primarily being utilized to target Ukrainian systems such as drones, etc., etc., etc. in large part because the Ukrainian air force is near non-existent.

There you go again

Using a photo from almost three months ago of who did what

Had to verify

As though it’s current

Don’t you have a new subterfuge angle to pimp Timber for your Brussels and Soros masters?

And besides I don’t blame them hiding amongst civilians

Ukrop has limited options considering they have no air power and inferior Arty

Even facing voluntarily limited Putin capacities

Does that somehow diminish the fact that the Russians are slaughtering Ukrainian civilians? Old news?

It's amazing to me that so many freepers are, wittingly or unwittingly, allied with George Soros, Klaus Schwab, Victoria Nuland, Obama, and both Bidens for the Great Reset to Globalism, against Western Civilization surviving in even a few sovereign nations like Hungary and Russia.

Useful idiots, I suppose. At best.
