Posted on 11/19/2022 11:18:53 AM PST by vladimir998

The Russian military, the second largest military in the world, may not be what it looks like. Lies and systematic corruptions may in fact have dragged Russia into this war with Ukraine, which has been heavily backed up by the US and NATO. We will present the evidence, you make your own decision, because the Russian Army, is #NotWhatYouThink #NWYT #longs

Horsefeathers. I watched the world threaten with NATO encroachment, then give Russia no way to back out gracefully.

Then every lefttard in the world instantly supported the Ukraine.

Since the American left exclusively sides with evil, I knew what the least correct course of action was, and that was to support the Ukraine.

“20 years of being over target!!!” - looks like you’re going to have to start over at 0.

“The Soviet Union is estimated to have suffered the highest number of WWII casualties. “

Too many Americans have swallowed this Stalinist propaganda.

Taking the highest number of casualties ≠ winning the war.

Taking the highest number of casualties = being very bad at war.

“What would you do if the Canada gov started mass murdering Americans living in Canada”

That’s the Russian delusion. They still think of themselves as a great power.

The USA is a great power. We have the ability to control a sphere of influence around us.

The Soviets could too, but not Russia. Modern Russia has an economy smaller than Canada’s and a population smaller than Bangladesh.

Like other minor powers it needs to attach itself to a great power to do anything, like Canada does with America or Bangladesh with India.

Russian pride refuses to accept their secondary status.

“Ukes know that their families are freezing to death in cities that no longer have the capacity to provide everyone with electricity, heat, water, etc.”

Interesting theories. So when do you expect this all to happen? The Russians have been trying to attack the Ukrainian grid for 6 weeks now, but the lights are still on. How many more months do you think it will take Russia to accomplish this goal?

Or is there the chance the Russian military has failed in yet one more campaign and a few hundred missiles are not enough to take down a grid with in a country of 40 million?

Would help if these propaganda clowns relied on more recent figures instead of old Soviet ones.

There's a reason his screen name is "Jumper", Poof.

Where did they get these 450,000 troops? In order to do that they would have to start putting Air Force troops and sailors on the line.

That math just doesn’t add up, unless they absolutely strip their borders and have very few other units available anywhere else in that huge country.

Can we stop comparing the current Russian army with one that was fighting on its own land with US steel, 80 years ago?

This isn’t 1942. Russia isn’t fighting for its survival. Russia’s only ally is Iran. The Russian Army is a rusted bucket.

I am not dismissing history, but I am weary of the “Russians know pain from Stalingrad.’ Almost as weary of US comparisons of Trump to Patton.

It’s not 1945. It’s time everyone catches up.

What would you do if the Canada gov started mass murdering Americans living in Canada and outlawed speaking American English and encouraged gangs of Canadians to sneak into Maine and upstate NY to murder Americans?

He'd jump on Free Republic and blame the Russians.

The Serbs could have avoided that "unpleasantness" with a covert operation to seize The Blue Dress and deliver it to Big Bill on the downlow.
