Either you offer your genocidal fantasies about the Russian people, or you offer vile personal insults. My, how you need prayers.

Why are you talking about yourself?

"You know nothing of Churchill. Thanks for the communism
Rocco: Is that the best insult you can throw at me? It doesn't even make sense.
You were literally using communist propaganda to attack Churchill and support KGB Russia.

Why do Youkazoids have such a torrid love affair with Youcrayne, the most corrupt nation in Europe, one infamous for child trafficking, Nazi militias, money laundering by some of the most vile leftists and globalists, including the Biden Crime Family, graft and incredible government corruption?
Each part of that argument is literal KGB propaganda, mixing kernels of truth with absolute lies and projections that trick those lacking the IQ to do basic research. Actual Neo-Nazis and KGB Russia uses the same tactics to trick your kind and it works.

Ukraine has a very large corruption problem and Zelinsky was elected president and created a political party to deal with it. The only person protecting Ukraine corruption is Putin with the 2014 and 2022 invasions and because much of the corruption comes from pro-Russian oligarchs. Russia is more corrupt that Ukraine on every measure. For instance, in the Corruption Perceptions Index Russia has a rank of 28-30 , while Ukraine has a rank of 32-33. https://www.transparency.org/en/cpi/2022
This KGB Great Lie has tricked the weak minded into thinking that Ukraine is corrupt, but Russia isn’t And one of the big “proofs” is Hunter Biden. The only problem is that Burisma is owned by a pro-Russian oligarch, who was part of the pro-Russian government in 2013. In other words, the Bidens were effectively being paid by Moscow with money from Ukrainian oil.

Child Trafficking is a problem in Ukraine. Unfortunately it was worse in Russia right until 2022, when the Russian invasion caused a displacement of over 1/3 of Ukrainian children. If you care about child trafficking in Ukraine , you should take it up with Russia, which has also kidnapped Ukrainian children and given them to Russian parents, which is a literal war crime.

Nazi militias are absolutely a problem. Ukrainian nationalism has historically been associated with antisemitism from the Khelmnietsky uprising, centuries f Cossack violence, Ukrainians being pawns in Russian pogroms, failed Ukrainian states in 1919, the Russian Civil war, blaming Jews for the crimes of the antisemitic Bolsheviks, a minority of Ukrainians using this including the Holodomor to justify working with the Nazis, and recurrence in the 1980s and 1990s as the USSR collapsed. This is a subject I know quite a bit about having taken Russian history, and being the son, nephew, and grandson of Jewish partisans in Galicia, who fought the Nazis, the Banderist wing of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists and other collaborators. In 2013, Ukrainian nationalists fought the pro-Russian regime and oligarchs. We all saw the actual neo-Nazis as well as those using the symbols of the OUN-B, and even those of the 14th Waffen SS Galician Division. Seeing the lion of Lviv/Lwow/Lemberg hijacked by nazi collaborators and those who look up to them 70 years after the Holocaust was enraging. My father was furious. He saw a childhood friend have her head broken against a wall by Ukrainian collaborators. But he also supported Ukrainian independence form KGB Russia in 2013-2014. Pictures are a poor way to show support for a group. Elections are fare better In 2019, the Neo-Nazi parties got under 2% of the vote, while a Jew got 70% of the vote. The Prime Minister in 2019, whose party lost, was also Jewish. Ukraine in 2019 was not the same as in 1939 or 1919.

Money Laundering is a problem in Ukraine and Russia. I have seen no evidence that it is occurring on a large scale now. But such money laundering as does occur because of Western aide, has only occurred because of the invasion of KGB Russia. You are supporting KGB Russia because of a problem they created.

Why do they worship its gay-dancing, grifting, installed puppet leader, a B-grade actor who struts around in a fake military uniform whenever there's a camera in his vicinity or some cash to be begged for?
Because he isn’t gay. And he wants Ukraine to get the money it needs to survive and defeat your KGB allies. You are blaming Ukraine for a problem that KGB Russia created. Projection is a sign of mental disease. Please get the therapy you need. Why do FR Youkazoids worship the vile clown Zelenskyyyyyyyyy™ whose "wife" got bagged spending $40K in Paris last year on bling while her countrymen were freezing, dying and suffering immensely?
I don’t worship any man. I support Ukraine. The shopping spree claim is literal KGB propaganda, , tovarisch.

Why do they support a "cause" that's supported by nearly every leftist/globalist individual and NGO including those who helped facilitate the stolen election of 2020, forced communist-style lockdowns across the Western world and forced hundreds of millions of people to be injected with an untested, dangerous, ineffective "vaccine?"
So you are an agent of KGB Russia and Communist China because of grievances against those supporting Ukraine? There are two issues with the lack of logic drowning all reason in your brain:
1. Russia and China has similar lockdowns or worse and had worse vaccines. China created the virus.2. People across the political spectrum, including those of us against voter fraud, support Ukraine.

Have you noticed everyone who supports Zelensky always turns out to be a pedo?
Hundreds of millions of people support Ukraine over Russia, including most Americans. Stop fapping to KGB propaganda.

“No more brother wars” is literal Nazi propaganda from the 1930s and 1939. The Nazis and their then communist allies started World War 2 in Europe, just like KGB Russia created a “Brother War” in Ukraine. Logic is hard for those peddling neo-nazi propaganda.

KGB Russia invaded Ukraine to destroy the country. Putin called Ukraine artificial and illegitimate and its government Nazis. Does Ukraine want to join NATO? Abosultely. The reason is the invasion by KGB Russia in 2014 and 2022.
Logic isn't a neocon/globalist/Jewish/reptilian plot. If you think it is, you need psychiatric care.

Let me guess: You are a Cold Warrior from back in the late 60s or 70s who still cries over the fact that you never got your chance for war "glory" against the Soviet Union yet still harbor a hatred for the Soviet Union, even though it no longer even exists. If so, I understand where you're coming from with your "KGB" references.

In any event, I don't care to engage you over your long-winded, convoluted Youcrayne apologetics. It is boring as hell and I don't have the time to do so.

I have nothing to do with the "KGB" nor do I think like a KGB agent nor do I respect anyone - including you - who not-so-cleverly implies that those who oppose the US government sending money to the most corrupt nation in Europe are agents of "Soviet Union 2.0," Putin lovers etc.

The elephant in the room remains: In spite of your circuitous, apologetic blowhardery you have not answered my central question: Why are Youkazoids, including you, so madly in love with Youcrayne, the most corrupt country in Europe and why are you for sending that corrupt, child trafficking, money laundering pit our money? Why do you Youcrayniacs do backflips, contortions and engage in outright propaganda, endless smears and slanders of Freepers and spout silly lies to try justifying your degenerate love of that vile nation, its vile government and its grifting, phony, vile "leader?"

Your #128 is a great rant, and at the bottom of many of our angry Neocons is a long, simmering religious/ethnic hatred for modern Russia that they intentionally identify as the late Soviet Union. Now that these Washington DC appointees have the German people under thumb, next up is Russia. I suspect most people can see this connection between the Zelenskyies, Christian Zionists and permanant Washington, but are frightened to open their mouths.

I was born in 1977 and oppose communism. I'm sorry that you don't. You need to be educated.

In any event, I don't care to engage you over your long-winded, convoluted Youcrayne apologetics. It is boring as hell and I don't have the time to do so.
I post facts and you don't care to learn. You want a safe space and a blanky.

I have nothing to do with the "KGB" nor do I think like a KGB agent nor do I respect anyone - including you - who not-so-cleverly implies that those who oppose the US government sending money to the most corrupt nation in Europe are agents of "Soviet Union 2.0," Putin lovers etc.
I cited evidence that Russia is more corrupt than Ukraine. I noted that the Russian invasion has stopped anti-corruption efforts. You don't care about facts. You gladly believe and regurgitate Ruzzian lies.

The elephant in the room remains: In spite of your circuitous, apologetic blowhardery you have not answered my central question: Why are Youkazoids, including you, so madly in love with Youcrayne, the most corrupt country in Europe and why are you for sending that corrupt, child trafficking, money laundering pit our money?

1. I took apart each of these claims. I have never lied here. I don't need to. I gave you facts and citations. YOu don't care about facts.
2. I have no love for Ukraine or Zelinsky. I'm a generation removed from being a Galician Jew. My grandfather fought the Ukrainians in 1919 to keep Western Galicia Polish. Those members of my paternal family, who were able to escape the Drohobycz Ghetto and elude mostly Ukrainian militia became partisan fighting the Nazis and their collaborators. My father killed Nazi-allied Ukrainian nationalists, when he was 12. Like most surviving Galician Jews and Poles, my family was ethnically cleansed from Galicia at the end of World War 2 as this land was given to Ukraine. My family name comes from Lwow/Lviv/Lemberg, being a direct translation of the Latin to German. Do you know how enraging it was to see the Lion of Lwow appropriated to become a Ukrainian symbol and then used by the 14th Waffen? And then to see the 14th Waffen flag paraded not just in Drahobycz, but through the neighborhood where my father grew up?
Zelinsky? I don't care about him one way or the other. However, the fact that a Jew was elected with 70% of the vote says a lot about Ukrainian nationalism becoming cultural nationalism as opposed to ethno-nationalism.

It's a rant that ignores facts and history. YOu don't care because of your antisemitic grievances.Germany isn't controlled by Jews. It wants to trade with Iran and keeps importing antisemites. The Biden regime is trying to overthrow the government of Israel and protect Iran's nuclear weapons, while giving Iran billions for more terrorism.

Ethnic hatred? If that is what drove me, I would take Russia's side. Scores of my family members have been killed by Ukrainian nationalists since 1918, and those who survived the Holocaust were ethnically cleansed from Western Galicia and our homes given to Ukrainians.
I support Ukraine in this war for four reasons:
1. The US, UK, and Russia promised to respect and protect Ukraine's sovereignty in exchange for them giving up nukes. We debt of honor and failing to do so makes future nuclear deals much harder.
2. Russia has used cyber-attacks against the Baltics and is fomenting strife in Estonia. Their revanchist and irridentist crusade to restore the Soviet Russian empire is a threat to NATO.
3. Ruzzian invasion maps showed a further move into Moldova., which would bring Romania into the war. A Russian defeat prevents world war III.
4. Russian success or failure is a signal to Communist China. I want to deter China from invading Taiwan, rather than fighting World War III against them

You made this personal with ethnicity. Man up. And I’m not a neoconservative Neocon does not mean a Jewish conservative or anyone on the right who isn’t an isolationist.

See, there you go again accusing me of being sympathetic towards communism. And no, I don't "need to be educated," but you do need to stop your insulting, pedantic blowhardery.

Ugh.

Your use of the anti-Russian, Zeeper Youkazoid insult "RuZZia" is a "tell" which exposes your pro-Youcrayne bent. In other words, you're full of crap when you try presenting yourself as someone who is neutral as far as taking sides in the conflict goes.

Another question: Why do you Youkazoids contantly insult and try belittling those who disagree with you?

I never said I was neutral. I said I had no love of Ukraine, but supported it against the invasion by KGB Russia. I don't hate Russia. I hate the KGB regime occupying it and creating Ruzzia. The letter "z" is written as З з. The Russians used the letter Z for propoganda and identification, so it has become representative of the regime. I have no problem insulting Putinist Ruzzia, while still liking actual Russia.

Another question: Why do you Youkazoids contantly insult and try belittling those who disagree with you?
I respond to you. You were insulting people before I responded.
