[Timber Rattler]

Confirms Ukrainian accounts about fighting hordes of Russian "zombies."

Nothing like a fresh cup o’ propaganda in the morning. Pretty weak stuff.

“There was no evacuation of the wounded, he added. “If you’re wounded, you roll away on your own at first, any way you can, somewhere neutral where there’s no fire, and if there’s no one around, you administer first aid to yourself,” he said.”

This makes me really wonder: death counts and casualty counts are based on a presumption that about 20% of casualties are killed. To me, this suggests that Western estimates of casualty counts may be too high and death counts way too low.

The Ukrainians were in on the coup against President Trump. The second impeachment was driven by President Trump's call to Zelensky and Ukrainian-born "whistle-blower" Col. Vindman was the impetus. Col. Vindman was offered the high position of Defense Minister of Ukraine twice by the Ukraine - why?. The coup against President Trump led us into the Ukraine War and the death of hundreds of thousands of people and the impoverishment of America. We are led by traitors and snakes.

I hope the Ukraine gets taken apart territorially and absorbed by its neighboring countries.

Meanwhile, this was snipped from the excerpt: For security reasons, the Ukrainians kept a presence in the room where the interview took place.

[Vermont Lt]

That was the first impeachment. The second was about Jan 6th.

[canuck_conservative]

so then when is the Russian victory parade?

LOL

[wildcard_redneck]

I want the Ukraine to lose because the Ukrainians were in on the coup against President Trump. The second impeachment was driven by President Trump's call to Zelensky and Ukrainian-born "whistle-blower" Col. Vindman was the impetus. Col. Vindman was offered the high position of Defense Minister of Ukraine twice by the Ukraine - why?. The coup against President Trump led us into the Ukraine War and the death of hundreds of thousands of people and the impoverishment of America. We are led by traitors and communists.

[Eleutheria5]

“We are led by traitors and snakes.”

That much I agree with you on. The rest is a completely garbled chronology, chock full of inaccuracies.

[LesbianThespianGymnasticMidget]

No comment. I am prevented from expressing my opinions.

[wildcard_redneck]

Please explain how the “chronology” was wrong.

I was only incorrect on one point. Col. Vindman was offered the high position of Defense Minister of the Ukraine THREE times, not two.

Vindman, 44, explained during his impeachment testimony that he had been offered the position three times but declined the position because of his loyalty to the United States. The lieutenant colonel was born in Ukraine, but his family immigrated to the U.S. when he was a toddler.

Vindman claimed he did not know why he was offered the high ranking position of defense minister.

Col. Vindman was the “whistle-blower” and George Washington Zelensky was on the call that Col. Vindman ran to the Democrats with and testified about.

You are either misinformed or are lying.

Meanwhile, Vlad lit up the Ukies railroad electrification and AA defense sites all across Ukraine with a massive missile strike a day ago….not a PEEP from the western corrupted media.

It is getting clearer every day:

Ukraine 1991-2023 .

Hint: it will officially be “ the end” when Vlad destroys the 12 bridges across the Dniepner, slicing Ukraine in half….for some reason Vlad is still showing much restraint.

I can use Google Translate too.

Наклонись и трахни свое лицо.

[DanZ]

so then when is the Russian victory parade?

Ruskie victory already here, The Krouts are freezing, paying big $$ for U.S. Gas, their corporations are hemorrhaging $$$ due to high energy costs.

What is not to celebrate?

The Italians and the PIGs are happy as well.

The Hungies are telling the E.U. to stuff it - all is well

[Eleutheria5]

That wasn’t google translate, it was taught to me by my Bucharan study partner in yeshiva.

[faucetman]

“I hope the Ukraine gets taken apart territorially and absorbed by its neighboring countries”

RUSSIA INVADED Ukraine!

Nuff said.

[Eleutheria5]

And your reply is as disgustingly vulgar as your understanding of recent history is deficient.

[canuck_conservative]

The Krouts are freezing

Europe is enjoying the warmest winter in years (so much for Putin's cutoff threats)

gas prices are only about 10% above where they were 1 year ago

and Russian troops are getting killed by the thousand every day

yes ... what's not to like? LOL
