You might have thought that when you hear a newscaster or reporter call a major U.S. city a “war zone” because of the high crime and murders occurring there that it was just an exaggeration. It turns out that it isn’t.
“Per capita murder rates in major U.S. cities such as Chicago, Baltimore and St. Louis are outpacing Ukraine’s recorded civilian death rate from Russia’s invasion,” according to Just The News.
Think about that. Cities that get touted as examples of successful progressive places to live have more people dying, relatively, than a nation at war. Cities that held “most peaceful protests” are less safe than a nation at war.
Now ask yourself this: If we are so upset with what is happening in Ukraine, why aren’t we even more upset with what is happening in our own country?
The website compiled information from the United Nations Human Rights Office, U.S. Census Bureau, and other sources to calculate the murder rates between the Ukraine and U.S. cities.
In Ukraine, 5,401 civilians have been killed in Ukraine since Russia’s attack began in February (this is actually believed to be an underestimate). With a population of about 41,167,300, this makes Ukraine’s civilian death rate 13.12 per 100,000 people using official statistics from the United Nations, according to Just The News.
Sadly, there are American cities where this would be an improvement. Baltimore’s homicide rate is 37.3 so far this year or 215 deaths. If the city had the Ukraine’s war-time death rate, the city would have had only 76 murders.
St. Louis’s murder rate is 38.2 per 100,000 so far in 2022. Chicago’s is 14.8 per 100,000.
“Using pre-pandemic data, 52 U.S. cities had worse homicide rates than Ukraine’s civilian death rate. However, crime in the United States has skyrocketed since then, meaning that there may be more cities that qualify as deadlier than Ukraine under assault by Russian forces,” Just The News reported.
How scary is that?
Maybe an investigative reporter should compare property damage between the Ukraine and these major U.S. cities that suffered, in some cases, billions of dollars of damage. How comparable would those numbers be?
What’s worse is that the Democrat leadership of these U.S. cities has not done anything to make the situation better. Crime is still rising and property damage is often not even prosecuted in some cities. In fact, with defunding the police, bail reform, strict controls of what police can and can’t do, it has actually made things worse in those cities.
The Democrat-controlled Congress has also been largely behind pushing aid for Ukraine to help them because they have been so hard hit in their war. However, perhaps that money might be better spent helping major U.S. cities fight crime and lower their crime rates to a level equal or less than that of war-torn Ukraine.
It turns out that our American cities are war zones, and just like in a declared war, it is often the civilians, the innocent, who suffer the most. That’s the case in Ukraine, and that’s the case in America.
They blamed it on President Trump and “Whitey” the Supremacist. That helped a little bit. LOL.
For starters it more than likely defund the police further, release criminals into the street, Continue their open arms sanctuary policy to their cities and invite all the criminal invaders to take over their streets etc. etc. The list is to numerous but apparently they continue to vote those POS into office so I imagine the people love their misery!
What have they done? Why lots of things...
like take guns away from law abiding citizens, release violent criminals back into,the streets with no charges for serious crimes, threaten ,aw abiding citizens if they defend themselves, pay cri inalienable not to work (ie commit crimes, which they do a years after being paid), tie the hands of cops to stop criminals...
Oh wait.
Blue RAT sh**holes…nothing to see here, move along…
As DC fights to spread modern Americanism, the administration will work towards bringing Ukrainian cities down to the American level of violent crime we see in Chicago and Baltimore. We rely on our citizens of color for most of these big city crimes. Ukraine has zero racial diversity! We must divert the hordes of Africans streaming to Western Europe to Ukraine. Then we might begin to see a more Americanized diverse criminality in our new client state.
The only solution is to get rid of police and increase drug addiction and homelessness. There is no other way to solve crime problems. /s
Governor Ron DeSantis transported “border-crossers” to safe, affluent neighborhoods that had ALREADY declared they were sanctuary locales.
If DeSantis really were a racist, he would have transported them to one of the crime-ridden, Democrat-run slums.
Who cares?....winning in Ukraine is more important. /s
They want the situation worse, not better.
We have American cities where you can’t even drink the water but the government would rather give your tax dollars to hell hole countries on the other side of the planet
Of course. The Russians have not released estimates of civilians killed. Just in Mariupol an estimated 10,000 or more civilians were killed when the Russians 'liberated' the city.
The number of bodies in Mariupol is overwhelming. Petro Andryushchenko, an adviser to the Ukrainian mayor, estimated that 22,000 died in the two months of fighting. However, a person among several coordinating burials in the city who spoke on condition of anonymity said they believed the total was closer to 50,000.

What has the Democratic leadership of these cities done?
Gotten rich.
Burn them down for Michael Brown.
The death rate in Chicago was higher than Iraq... It’s been that way for 15 years, now.
It’s funny how dems think this is a winning strategy to take all our guns away...because “gun violence”.
Suburban white women, the #1 target of Dem propaganda, are becoming increasing exposed to the violence radiating out of the blue cities. They are going to want more police or to buy a gun.
Burning it all down was never a long term wining strategy. Dems have made their bed.
Nothing, they just send money to Ukraine. The US is supposed to die soon and become a WEF puppet state.
Posting here from one of the top 10 murder cities.
All of the top 10 are run by Democrats.
You ask yourself “Why is it this way?”
There is an obvious answer but nobody can say it.
It’s this way because it’s supposed to be this way.
It’s been this way for going over half a century.
It’s not going to change any time soon.
HISTORY OF A POLITICAL PARTY
Democrat leadership of U.S. cities has not done anything to make the situation better.
The super rich elites, who control our blue states, blue counties and cities offer their only solutions, 24/7 and coast to coast re fighting crime.
Get rid of police, increase drug addiction and homelessness, dumb down all public schools, pay for unlimited abortions and allow killers/criminals out of jails with no bonds nor restrictions.
There are no better ways to solve crime problems in their blue states, blue counties and cities!
In another 2-3 decades, most severe crime problems will be over in most Blue Cities/Counties/States!
Lives Matter, Baby.
