Based on what? Ukraine’s population is 40+ million and has 6 million men of military age. There is no lack of soldiers, there is a lack of military equipment.

Yaroslava Zhuravel’s father was killed in battle against the Russians in 2020.

Yaroslava turned 18 this year and joined the army to avenge her father.
——————
Fact, 8-12 million Ukies have fled Ukraine, unlikely to ever return. The current demographics support the number of Ukies left in Ukraine to be about 28 million.

The Ukies have been drafting 18-60 year old males and on their 9th mobilization , the fact they are now having to enlist woman bodes not well for their future. Sending child bearing aged woman into Vlad’s meat grinder is disgusting.

You may think St Zelensky’s “ Defiance” is admirable, but defiance only makes for a good Hollywood movie.

Zelensky’s defiance is genocide. The current rate of Ukie losses only insures their future is bleak, very, very bleak…..it is clearer every day they have no path to Victory…..and if allowed to survive, no one left to “ re-build”.

American involvement in the war in Ukraine may be because of Joe Biden’s son Hunter..... repayment for a $5 million bribe,” said a presidential candidate speaking at a campaign event.

The Ukraine payment to Hunter Biden was corrupt b/c it has some relationship towards Biden’s posture toward Ukraine......and expenditures of huge amts of tax dollars to Ukraine.

House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, R-Ky., has claimed he was told by a whistleblower about a tip regarding a $5 million payment from a foreign national to then VP Joe Biden and another $5 million to a family member “relating the exchange of money to buying the VP’s policy decisions.”

Republicans later identified the family member as Hunter Biden, who served at the time as an attorney and million dollar a year board member of Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company.

Yes, women, children and old men. Ukraine has a law banning men from leaving.

Zelensky’s defiance is genocide.

No, russians are promising a Ukrainian genocide.

Andrey Gurulyov: “Total nonexistence of Ukraine as a nation”

By confusing American polirtics with what’s happening in the real world, you show your ignorance.

It was a great distraction; a great fleecing. And most Americans went right along with it, willfully ignorant of the deeply corrupt character of the Ukrainian government and the futility of siding with Ukraine. I’ll possibly get flamed here, but I’ll say this: I’ve become acquainted with many Russian-Americans over the past 20 years, and (aside from a few criminals...) have found that I have more in common with them than I do most of the ‘mainstream’ Americans I know. Those among them who discussed politics with me shared my contempt for American leftists. The term most often used was “Idiots”.

They are indeed trying to regain what they once had. But they want more. They are claiming that Finland is an historical part of Russia and that lands that they never had a claim to are a part of “greater Russia”. They even claim that Alaska was illegally sold to USA. They will not stop until they are defeated and that is why Ukraine must win.

“The Neocons NEVER learn”

It all depends on what your priorities are. If your aim is to enrich the MIC and to indulge your pathological hatred for Russians, then the Neocons are doing fine.

They staked out a goat to trap ...... something. The whole scam was to pump tons of bucks into the UK so that Zelynskyy could launder it and send back shares to the commie trash in charge.

That is all this has ever been about. Accumulating a bucket of dosh that could be skimmed.

So most of that is not simply the value of weapons send to Ukraine ?

In other words, Ukraine has been on a counteroffensive for two months and hasn't reached the first line of Russian defense while 43,000 Ukrainians have died.

Ukraine has absolutely no chance of taking back any lost/liberate territory. All that is occurring now is that Biden wants to drag this war out until 2024 so he doesn't have to admit defeat before the election.

How can you keep support DeSantis when he flip flopped on this war because his donors told him to?

You bragging about bet that you're sure to lose is like putting a kick me sign on your back.

After two months of failed counteroffensive, why would you think Ukraine has the ability to drive Russia out of territory that is now part of the Russian Federation?

DeSantis never flip flopped on the war. He still doesn’t want fund it from every report I’ve seen, and sees it as Europe’s responsibility if anything is done, not NATO.

HOWEVER, you boy Trump is on record now saying he will INCREASE military aid to even BEYOND what Biden is giving them now, if he has to.

Talk about a “flip flop!” Unless you want to consider it’s not a flip flop for Trump, since he was the one who first started shipping weapons to Ukraine in the first place. Then it would be just a continuation of his ACTUAL policy.

I’m not bragging about the bet. Just saying I believe Russia will quit this war soon.

The overall momentum favors Ukraine. They’re hitting targets inside Russia now and a growing number of Russians are waking up to the futility of this war.

And I do not believe Ukraine will achieve victory. I still believe Putin will be removed in a coup and Russia will then quit the war.

He didn't. Most of the stuff Trumpers say about DeSantis are flat-out lies.

It's all they've got.
