Ukraine launches counteroffensive against Russia

The Ukrainian military’s long-anticipated counteroffensive against occupying Russian forces has begun, opening a phase in the war aimed at restoring Ukraine’s territorial sovereignty and retaining Western support in the war. Ukraine’s troops intensified their attacks on the front line in the country’s southeast, according to four individuals in the country’s armed forces, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the battlefield developments.

You say you love George Washington but you take a side on Ukraine not based on reality but based on your political persuasion, your chosen faction. You clearly don’t know the facts. You claim ‘hundreds of billions of dollars spent’ when the Council on Foreign relations says we have given $75 billion. You are so far off it is just utter BS as I’ve already accused you of.

You don’t know what you are talking about. You’re just a shill for your “side”, your faction.

There is no dictatorship set up by Biden in Ukraine. Again pure BS, Zelensky was elected by the Ukrainian people. You are rooting for evil because you hate Biden. That’s horrible. Be better.

You stated: “This is nothing but a big fireworks show that the Ukrainians hope will provide them with additional funding.” That is BS

The Ukrainians want to defeat an evil man who is trying to destroy and take over their country. They are willing to die rather than allow that.

You are just spouting the party line. You are an example of what George Washington was warning of, imo.

Council on Foreign relations says we have given $75 billion

Congress approved $113.3 Billion for Ukraine in 2022 alone. However to get around this the value assigned to military equipment shipped to Ukraine has been approximately 10% of the actual replacement value. And do I need to remind you that the US is not the only country sending arms to Ukraine?

Zelinsky is a dictator because he has assumed dictatorial powers. It has nothing to do with how he came to power, which was the result of meddling in the election by some of the same characters who stole the 2020 election in the USA.

The Ukrainians want to defeat an evil man who is trying to destroy and take over their country. They are willing to die rather than allow that.

25% of the Ukrainian population have escaped their country since the “invasion” began. Approximately 50% have gone to Europe, 40% have gone to Russia, and approximately 10% have gone to other countries. I say escaped because Zelensky and company have forbidden men to leave the country so that they can be forced into military service. The Ukrainian people are being held hostage and forced to act as a proxy force for NATO, and thrown into the meat grinder..

You are living in a propaganda fueled fantasy. You are not a shill for your side, sadly you are simply a fool who believes whatever you are told by our corrupt leadership and it's media lap dogs. You are trying take away other people's rights to speak the truth by accusing them of being evil. George Washington is likely rolling over in his grave when people such as yourself try to use his words to justify the slaughter of 100s of thousands of good people because of evil leadership on both sides of this situation.

It is obvious from your statements that you have very little understanding of the history of the situation that has been developing in Ukraine for many years. And you obviously have no desire to actually learn about it despite claiming to have been a tourist in Russia. Instead, you make blanket statements condemning any point of view that you have been conditioned to reject.

Unfortunately, this is very typical and one of the primary reasons that our republic is deteriorating into tyranny. You have let yourself become a tool of the left. You are a perfect example of what Washington was trying to warn us about so many years ago.

You appear to be just another one of the cheerleaders for the latest Biden administration foreign policy disaster. You are part of the group that callously and heartlessly advocates for the awful NATO controlled regime that is responsible for the deaths, mutilation, and misery of their own population. You banter on about how the Ukranian people just want to fight for their freedom while over 25% have voted with their feet and escaped from this awful mess, and 40% of these have chosen to go to Russia despite a more lucrative lifestyle awaiting them in Western Europe.

Why is that? It is because Ukrainians and Russians are mostly of the same ethnic origin. My wife and I live in part of the USA that has been a dumping ground for Russians and Ukrainians for many years. We live amongst them, they are mostly good people, and they are our friends. Most of my point of views on this conflict come directly from people who have first hand knowledge and have relatives still living in this nightmare...

Do you want to know what they think of people such as yourself? They blame ignorance of those such as yourself for the death and destruction as much as Biden and Putin neither of whom want this situation to end. Biden and his family along with other uniparty politicians have been profiting for years by exploiting Ukraine. This went into hyperdrive with the funds that have been funneled into the corrupt regime in the past year and a half.

This “war” and the “sanctions” have been so profitable for the Russians that two dozen more Russian billionaires have been made in the last 12 months. Putin’s wealth has no doubt increased greatly as well. These types of results can only be called failed foreign policy. It is interesting that you blame Putin completely for all of this when he is just one cog in the machine.
