File this headline under stating the obvious, but nevertheless it's welcome news now that the Ukraine effort by the West is collapsing.

Three cheers for the Habsburg Chins; they never saw it coming.

How does a “private” conversation make it into the news for the world to hear?

Why would any white man fight for a country that trashes them, and tries to ruin their country’s demographics?

Get the diverse people to die for globalist trash.

Don’t you think that the generals in the US military should quit worrying about the British Army and consider the lack of readiness of the US military??

The British could say “Look in a mirror!” The same lowering of war ready status is being done here in America by the Biden Gang. Joe sells a lot of our oil to China, but then he refuses to replace that reserve amount.

At least 30 Billion in money and combat supplies has been given to Ukraine.
All branches of our armed forces are having problems with enlistment numbers. Of those who do enlist, too many are fat and emotionally unstable.

And yet the RU is currently going thru Zelenskyy's kids like a hot knife through butter. Please pray for peace rather than posting Biden propaganda, ok?

My suggestion to fix the problem is for them to recruit far more trannies and homosexuals- and if that doesn’t work, fill the military there with Islamic men. That should solve everything. /s
