If it makes you feel better have at it......I wouldn’t buy it for a second. I’ve had my fingers on the pulse of this since before 2014......so you’re words have no impact on what this is really about....and it isn’t in any way shape or form to ‘help’ Ukraine....it’s to use the live and limb of those people in a disgusting and unforgivable way.

—”The offer was $100 per ton of corpses shipped home from the front.”

Apparently, the truck-mounted crematoriums have burned out.

And what would you have the Ukrainians do, just allow the Russians to invade?

So how about adding a little more meat to your post.

“Ukraine claimed that Russia has lost...more servicemen than the US lost during World War I.”

This is because Russia has effectively been waging World War One. They’re using expensive missiles as artillery against civilian targets and they are literally engaged in trench warfare.

I will not give credit to the Ukrainians for all of the Russian casualties and dead. The Russians are going to lose men to many of the same conditions that killed troops in WW1. Frostbite, cholera, typhoid, and no doubt tuberculosis are killing Russian soldiers every bit as effectively as Ukrainian artillery.

“Sickens me that Ukraiains got suckered into this war big time by Zelensky”

Russia started the war in 2014 long before Zelensky ran for office.

The taxpayers of NATO should have a say, but they are buried by a landslide of propaganda............Russia did not threaten any NATO country - Ukraine is not a Nato member.

The world is not responsible for Ukraine - not even a little.

Pro-Russian FReepers just wish that Ukraine would act a little more like France. Is that too much to ask?

Will the Russians fight when the US Marines invade Russia and march into Moscow? No, they will greet us as liberators, waving American Flags and rainbow flags for the new gay nation! As we march in the Russian people will be singing “God Bless America” and Russian women mobbing our soldiers with kisses. The sky will be filled with smoke from burning churches (They support the Monster Putin). And the people will put up a stature of President Zelenskyy in Red Square! The new Russian Democracy will disarm, give all nukes to the USA to dispose of and become a member of the EU and NATO. It will be a whole new world! All problems solved once Putin is dead and Ukraine free for President-for-life-Zelenskyy.

The spectacle of keyboard warriors analyzing war reports and drawing little maps and coming to conclusions about this and that is precious. All the data they use in their careful analyses are propaganda lies from both sides. And thus wrong and pointless. Talk about an exercise in futility.

As has been said: the further from the front, the more gung-ho you see. No one is more pro-war than a desk jockey thousands of miles away.

” They’re using expensive missiles as artillery against civilian targets and they are literally engaged in trench warfare.”

It’s going to get much worse for the Russians. They started this war with a lot of Soviet hardware. Now those supplies are starting to run out.

The next plan from Putin is to send 500,000 men marching into Ukraine in hopes that Ukraine will run out of bullets before Russia runs out of men.

The US will continue to support Ukraine with money and weapons until the last Ukrainian is dead.
