You have to wonder if Uke wasn’t led by people whose personal wealth was tied to western globalists if they would keep sending kids into the meat grinder or if they would be at the negotiating table.

Well I’m sure the Biden brigade will be along shortly to tell us that Ukrainians want to die to the last man rather than surrender to Russia.

Time for Ukraine to blow up the Crimea bridge since the invaders blew up that dam. Cut off Crimea and let them starve.

To take Ukrainian land, you first have to kill off the Ukrainian men. That may be the real goal of Blackrock’s rebuild plan…

Of course even the Russians know to dig in when you advertise your counteroffensive months ahead of time.

What do you call invaders who were asked to come in? Liberators?

Millions of Ukes fled the country early in the conflict.

They were the higher IQ Ukes.

The rest got thrown into the meat-grinder to meet their fate.

You know, I never understood that. When has anyone EVER broadcasted their intent in wartime as far as when they’ll attack, etc? It’s like the japs telling us in August of ‘41 they’re gonna bomb pearl the following December. It’s absolutely retarded. I doubted the counteroffensive would happen because no right minded military would say “yeah, we’re gonna pull a counterattack in a couple months. Better get ready.”

We never know what Russia is really doing because OPSEC is a thing they seem to understand. Ukes, not so much.
