It won’t be long before Zelensky arrives in US seeking asylum.

Have you ever been near a real war? Your question seems smart and pertinent and I do empathize with it ... and it certainly is humane ... but in the terrible calculus of an real existential war, it does not matter. Horrible, tragic, heart-wrenching, but sadly true that the badly wounded are out of the game and why waste resources on them you may or may not have? Yes, terrible. But reality.

Why do you think there are so many Indian doctors in US? Coz they can’t find jobs in India.

A sure indicator is Zelensky’s begging on Sundak’s no. 10 doorstep and the EU for jets the US has refused.

I joined FR a long time ago and admittedly took months/years off at a time when I was overseas, etc., but has their even been a greater civil war/more toxic dynamic here than the Ukraine/Russia war?

I lost track, is Ukraine beating them back and winning or is Russia’s offensive overpowering Ukraine.

“Russia does not use the human wave idea...”

It has been its go-to tactic for generations. It is still employed.

“...hohos do use that...”

Ukraine doesn’t have the manpower for it, so it’s very unlikely Ukraine would employ the tactic.

I find it shocking how so many here push the Deep State’s suicidal war on Russia.

Stolen elections, $10 a carton of eggs, power bills doubled, banks steeling our money, border none existent, children getting sexually butchered, Satan openly worshiped on tv, and we are all waving the Ukrainian flag because that’s what we are told to do by the traitors destroying our country.

You have them pegged with that one. I wonder if they all sit around in their queer gear while banging the keyboard.

When one side constantly shows dead and prisoners from the other side, its often because they are losing the battle and are depending on propaganda to inspire more people to join their non existent victory. At the end of this month, lets see how much ground Ukraine has lost, and how many troops they have left to fight. I suspect that by the end of the year, Ukraine will be at the proposed borders Russia has claimed. Its too bad that so many people die to cover our corrupt CONgress money laundering, and so many people have been suckered into supporting either side of this war.

Not in my 24 years.

But don’t worry, Jim will clean house eventually.

He’ll take out the trash.
