I’d hate to be a Ukrainian 14 year old boy right now. The sequel to Volkssturm is coming.

Sadly, America’s deep-state and its corrupt puppets, and the present government in Ukraine, are joined like Siamese Twins.

Its no coincidence that our highest level political corruption - from the fake Dossier, to Hillary’s emails, to Hunter’s Burisma scam, to Biden’s firing of Shokin, to Trump’s impeachment - all have a connection to Ukraine.

There can be no reckoning or reform in Washington DC until the cancer that is Ukraine is excised.

MacGregor is nearing Russian level of lying.

At the time Russia first invaded Ukraine, in 2014, Ukraine had about 100,000 men in uniform. How did this puny military force scare Russia into thinking NATO was about to invade Russia?

Ukraine then built its military up to 300,000 at the time of Russia’s 2022 invasion. Even 300,000, how did that threaten Russia?

Looking back, Germany advised us against fast-tracking Ukraine for NATO membership. We didn’t want to “provoke” Russia. Leaving Ukraine barely capable of defending itself, Germany argued, would persuade Putin that Ukraine wasn’t a threat. No. It convinced Putin that Ukraine couldn’t count on the west, and could be quickly defeated.

Upon Russia’s invasion, what did Biden do? He offered to fly Zelensky out. Biden believed, as did Putin, that Russia would score a quick victory. But Zelensky and the Ukrainian people stood up against Russia, and pushed them back from Kyiv and pushed them back from Odessa.

Now the Ukrainians have an army of 800,000 with reserves of 1,000,000 more, and are killing Russians at a 5-to-1 ratio. For the past year, the war has been something of a war of attrition. How long this will continue is anybody’s guess. Russia figures to defeat Ukraine by demoralizing the west before its front lines in Ukraine collapse, and before Russia itself collapses.

UKRAINE CAN WIN this war easily if we just sent the children, grand children, nieces and nephews of every elected official and federal employee in this country to the Front Lines.

Macgregor’s full of crap and has ALWAYS been full of crap (because I disagree with him).

I would say that’s very, very unlikely.

Virtually everyone (western sources since Russia doesn’t give losses) is saying that the Russians have lost in a 6:1 ratio in military combat (not including murdered Ukrainian civilians).

Ukraine 400k= 2.4 million Russian losses.

The thing about this war is you can’t get past the propaganda of either side to know the truth. Nobody knows how many have died.

Zelenski: It was worth it for all those that were killed or wounded.

That’s a pretty impressive number, considering Ukraine only had maybe a quarter million active duty before the war started (maybe a million in reserves).

Maybe that’s including civilian deaths?

When does the Pentagon start saying, “We are just now beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel?”
