Thank you. I'm fascinated by the strides they're making with bots and AI these days.

Ad hominem attacks serve no purpose, especially when one is asked a simply question and can’t answer it.

You actually asked four questions. If the one question you really wanted answered was the one about claims of "minimal Ukrainian loses," who cares about claims in war? The fight goes on until one side quits.

And yet the putinistas are so afraid to mention just how poorly the Russians have done in this war. Why?

“Ukraine war veterans on how Kiev plundered US aid, wasted soldiers, endangered civilians, and lost the war”

“A Ukrainian’s Letter from the Front

““We lost five people for every one they did,” said Ihor, a 30-year-old platoon commander who injured his back when the tank he was riding in crashed into a ditch.”

Yeah, very poorly considering 5:1 kill ratios and other Operations, upwards of 10:1.....

If all is well with the Ukrainians arse-kicking Russia back to the very gates of the Kremlin, why is ZelenskyyIdiot steadily demanding and begging the US, the EU, Germany, and NATO for tanks, for planes, more more military hardware?

Nothing you posted changes the reality of what I said. Why do you keep attacking what no one is defending? Why are you so defensive?

It changes everything.

Furthermore, it proves that you are just one of those who swallows WEST?UK/EU/US/NATO propaganda whole, no questions asked.

Please continue to contribute your $5, $10, $20, $25, $50 to those various Ukrainian NGOs that fund ZelenskyyIdiot’s various bank accounts, villas, etc., all while the Idiot is incessantly demanding and begging the West/EU/UK/US/NATO for more billions, tanks, planes, artillery assets, etc., etc., etc.

Zelensky doesn't need to go to Moscow, he just needs to outlast the russians' will to fight, and/or someone tosses Putin's ass out of a third-floor window. More dead russians hastens that day.

Oh yeah. But the thing is that the Russians can do a lot of damage and their tolerance for suffering is pretty high.

You ain't gotta like my answers.

Say, I do have a question for you: You post on every single Ukraine thread I've seen. I can see a certain level of interest, but what motivates Cranked to participate to that extent?

Simple solution, yo.

You would not have to worry about me posting “on every single Ukraine thread” if you simply asked your fellow propaganda peddlers to stop posting their plethora of pro-Ukrainian, Putin bad, Russia bad, Russia getting ass-kicked, Putin dying, Russian army getting wrecked, blah, blah, and blah articles incessantly EACH AND EVERY DAY on FR!

Simple solution indeed.

This is a war between Russia and Ukraine.

Why do you think Biden the coward pulled out Americans in February 24 and offered to take Zelensky out?

The Ukrainians have kicked Russian butt
