There’s no one there to ruin their lives. They all came here, and their lives are probably going to be better for it.

I guess you don’t see all the Nazi memorabilia on ukes uniforms and unit patches. Stylized swastikas and various SS division insignias abound.

The Ukrainians are the Nazis no matter what you say and no one cares about your 2nd grade understanding of this conflict.

Smoking crack is a bad habit , stop it.
It causes people to have paranoid behavior

You do realize the whole Nazi thing was created by Pooter and his boys to justify invading a sovereign nation?

Hitler made up his reasons, so does every thug invader.
But I see it works.

Reagan if around, would kick the sorry butts of all you Russian apologists.

“Reagan if around, would kick the sorry butts of all you Russian apologists.”

Reagan would never be stirring sh!t in a former Soviet Republic.

He would have stopped with the Warsaw Pact nations, and let Russia keep their traditional sphere of influence.

Because he was smart.

“ and let Russia keep their traditional sphere of influence.”

So you are ok with thug dictators invading sovereign nations?
Just as long as they don’t go too far away?
Would you have also been against the American colonies seeking to be free of British rule?
You know since America was in “the traditional sphere of British influence “.

You DO realize they actually are nazis? That maybe Putin was correct in that regard and it’s not made up? Look at their unit patches. They have an Oskar Dirlewanger battalion.

The only one who needs to lay down the crack pipe is you and all who blindly support zelensky.

If true, it is a psychological victory and a propaganda achievement for Russia - it could encourage the Russian people in their support of the war effort.

President Putin needs internal unity and he needs to show some achievement after having lost large numbers of armored vehicles and apparently significant casualties (deaths and also the injured).

I believe that Russian sources value the fact that Bakhmut is at a junction of roads and rail lines - there could eventually be a logistics benefit to the capture. It also has a large salt mine that Russia captured a while ago.

The Ukrainians were emotionally invested in the city, so it might also degrade Ukrainian morale.

> George W. Bush tell us “mission accomplished” after his
> bloody and unnecessary invasion of Iraq.

But there were not that many successful 9/11 style suicide attacks on the USA following the Iraq war, and Kuwait probably feels more secure now.

I have no issues with a nation exercising their power to pursue their own interests.

But 12 year old girls are offended by the injustice of it.

Democrats and the media made a big deal over it at the time, especially Howard Dean and John Kerry, because they were running for president. At that time, Bush’s approval rating was in the 65% to 70% range, so they were pretty worried and anxious to try and make a big deal out of anything to try and discredit him.

“Pursue their own interests “

So you are ok with thugs breaking into your neighbors house, stealing their property, raping the women, and killing everyone?
Because the thugs are “pursuing their own interests”?

We used to be a nation that held moral values and did the best we could to do what is right and oppose tyranny
A big reason we sacrificed to oppose Hitler’s murderous thuggery.
But now we should just sit back and say go Pooter because some Uke guy had a swastika?

Hmmm, guessing there were Frenchman, British men, Polish men and others that had some offensive elements to them in WWII.

Now I’m convinced you ARE a 12 year old girl.

False equivalency. Non sequitur.

“A big reason we sacrificed to oppose Hitler’s murderous thuggery.”

The US went to war against Germany because our essential interests were at stake, and because we were attacked by the German ally Japan. “Murderous thuggery” had nothing to do with it.

A memorial to US meddling and denying all responsibility for the consequences. What else is new?
