How weird. What you do with this stuff is make FR look like a deranged blend of “Dr. Strangelove” and “Romper Room”.

Let’s face the facts that Russia and Russian military is a clown show these days. Vlad Putin should have been aware and in charge. The only people who still worship Vlad are here at FRee Republic.

Depressed Girkin declares strategic defeat as the war with Ukraine is nowhere near its end after almost 10 months of fighting.

Will do. I can only take tiny doses of this obsessed behavior.

Point. Counterpoint.

Defeat no, set back, only momentarily I’m afraid.

So, by your reply, you're saying you're a Brit, right?

We Americans never use terms like "bugger off", clown.

We also never make statements in the form of a question,
but I did that just to make you feel at home.

LOL   'Strategic Defeat', but not an objective defeat at all.

Meanwhile, Ukraine is deenergized, deindustrialized, billions in unpayable debt,
Historic unemployment and inflation, total collapse in GDP….Begging for its existence. Now a 100 percent welfare nation- but somehow the war cheerleaders will have us believe they are winning.

Carry on war cheerleaders.

You have good language detection. But I am not a Brit. I was born and live in America. In my local bowling alley, the Four Seasons were on all the time on the Juke Box.

“Meanwhile, Ukraine is deenergized, deindustrialized, billions in unpayable debt,”

Yet they are still winning.

You claimed “Vlad will never give up an inch of the ethnic Russian territories.”

If Ukraine is such a basket case, how did they push Russia out of Kherson? What does that tell us about the Russian military if a country like Ukraine gain victory after victory?

Well, the Russians clearly lost the reputation of military competency.

And Slava Ukraini every day. I like underdogs. How can you not love these Ukrainians who farm such rich black earth and who suffered though Stalin's Holmodor where Stalin starved millions.

Glory to Ukraine!" is a Ukrainian national salute, known as a symbol of Ukrainian sovereignty and resistance and as the official salute of the Armed Forces of Ukraine since 2018. It is often accompanied by the response "Glory to the heroes!" (Ukrainian: Героям слава!, romanized: Heróyam sláva!, IPA: [ɦeˈrɔjɐm … See more

With so many lies from both sides and so much angry name-calling here on FR, I’ve decided to keep my opinions to myself and wait until next June to see if there’s any denouement by then that we can reasonable analyze and objectively discuss. Hopefully, there hasn’t been a nuclear exchange before that, and we’re still alive.
