Russians lose dozens of armored vehicles in Ukrainian ambush, video shows

Graphic drone footage appears to show dozens of Russian armored vehicles getting ambushed and destroyed during a single botched attack near the coal-mining town of Vuhledar in eastern Ukraine, which Moscow’s forces have been trying to capture for months.

Vuhledar, a Ukrainian stronghold at the strategic intersection between the eastern and southern front lines, has seen some of the bloodiest fighting of the war as the Kremlin is gearing up for a decisive offensive on the eastern front.

Based on the newly released video evidence, a column of dozens of tanks and armored vehicles was lost or damaged last week, with a large number of troops apparently killed.

Russian soldiers are seen in aerial footage fleeing for their lives under sustained aerial bombardment by the Ukrainians.

In the chaos, Russian tanks are seen mowing down their own men.

It doesn’t work like that Sparky. Everything that DC decides to put troops in is not American by default. It’s not anti-Americanism to be against some of the crap of DC. Simply pointing to soldiers who were ordered to be there doesn’t make it the duty of an American to support that effort. It’s shameful to see the American military doing something on behalf of a government that is the home of Nazism in Europe.

Why the name calling?

As far as our GIs, they are not in a war, they are merely doing their routine American military duties, tell them they are wrong, and convince them to support the Russians by refusing to do their jobs.

Explain to them they are shameful or whatever you want to describe them as.

Perhaps you can expose to the world that a NAZI nation exists now and Russia must crush them to save the world from Nazism or whatever.

Sorry snowflake, I didn’t realize Sparky was that degrading. But in any case, you’re the one who is implying that it’s un-American to not reflexively support every single place that Washington DC decides to put American soldiers. It was a disgusting un-American use of the American military in Libya, and then Syria. And now Washington DC is war against Russia by proxy is the same. No American has the slightest duty to support that. And you waving the bloody shirt doesn’t make it any different.

The fact that Western Ukraine is the epicenter of modern Nazi movements is extremely well documented. If you don’t see it at this point it’s because you choose not to.

Your usual goofy posts, in your case I guess the name-calling is a necessary part of your internet emotional release.

“existential”

You guys even talk like leftists.

I guess the Russians in the Donbass had an “existential” fight for their lives against their own country as Ukraines nazis have been killing them for years.

Here’s a Russian Nazi explaining why Russia must “deukrainize Ukraine” and wipe the “Ukrainian idea” off the earth.

Fortunately, he was denazified in Ukraine last week and is no longer with us.

You just have to laugh at the warmongers cheering on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. They are intellectually bankrupt and morally defeated.

“””They could be any day.”””

Quite a response. No they aren’t but they could be someday, in the future, it’s possible, let’s pretend they are now so that we can rant and rage about it and pretend argue they are fighting a war.

I’m waiting for one of ‘em to say “social construct.” Whenever that phrase is uttered, you can be sure there’s a man bun bobbing and a faint whiff of vape and armpits.

Oh how those experts on the left love existential threat. They use it for everything.

I hate it when I have to hear a montage of all those clowns repeating the same leftist talking points.

I do love the mute button.

Alex Christoforou of The Duran: "Looking at the physical reality of the situation. There are no tanks, there are no fight jets and there is no ammo to give.

"Tanks and fight jets, if there are available to give, the time it would take to train (Ukraine soldiers) will take too long.

"It's not going to make a difference. Everyone knows it isn't going to make a difference. It's obvious.

"We've even had commanders in the Polish military, former ones, that have said it's over.

"Ukraine doesn't have the ability to launch an offensive."

These 2 countries are fighting the war like ww2 except for drones. The USA would have had every target destroyed in days and we were doing that 30 years ago.

Every time I see references to light in the loafers, globohomo, and related insults, I immeditely know it is our Comrades and Pooty Palls invading our Free Republic, and working for the destruction of the USA.
