Exactly. They don’t have the same ideology most FReepers do. Like the maskerbaters and shot shills, they lean to the left and provide entertainment.
May it be so-so!

Kharkiv is one of the cities in Ukraine eliminating traces of the country's Soviet past by removing Russian art, symbols, books and language.
Few cities in Ukraine are making as much effort as Kharkiv, a city with a Russian-speaking tradition, to erase its past.
Hundreds of streets with Soviet names have been renamed, dozens of monuments demolished and countless books written in Ukrainian have replaced Russian ones on bookshelves.
"These books have a therapeutic effect on people," explained historian and book publisher, Oleksandr Savchuk. "That is, a person seems to get some protection by reading that in fact, Ukrainian culture exists, Ukrainian art exists, the state of Ukraine exists, and there are outstanding artists, painters, architects, sculptors, and public figures among Ukrainians. All of this is about us. This is to acquire identity. That's why people buy these books."
Russia's full-scale invasion prompted many citizens to turn to the Ukrainian language.
"When I said something in Russian (at the beginning of the invasion), it felt like an unpleasant taste in my mouth, as if I had eaten something rotten," said Mykola Kolomiets, an artist and teacher.
Natalya Denisova is the artistic director and puppet creator at the Kharkiv State Academic Puppet Theatre. She admits that after 18 months of war, it is difficult to hold a calm debate on the use of the invader's language, but she's not in favour of wiping it out:
"People have lived with this language. Sometimes it was strongly imposed. It so happened that, willingly or unwillingly, people mostly spoke Russian. And if we say that it happened by force, that the Russian language was forced here, I doubt we should force it out. Then we are no different from each other."
Fuelled by Russian bombs and by the Ukrainian authorities, the war accelerated the derussification process that began after the fall of the Soviet Union.
Since her original statement was made 20 August 2023, that "removing such CORRUPTION" has only taken ten days. Such superhuman efforts asserted by someone who tells you "do diligence requires your own research. The facts are there."
Indeed. Daily threads stuffed with monetized YouTube clickbait for months and months.... are there.
“You Ukraine war shills really are hilarious. My non-support of Ukraine does not equal support for Russia.”
The problem with your comment is that you routinely criticize Ukraine, but not Russia. So, by attacking one side, you are necessarily supporting the other. If you were truly neutral, you wouldn’t criticize either; or would criticize both with the same intensity.
And here (link dumping, that is).
I might even feel a little sadness if the Russians hadn’t invaded with the intent of taking over Ukraine.
You are truly misinformed. Ukraine is a dictatorship since Obama instigated a coop. That makes them no better than Russia.
I don’t care about Russia, jackass.
Exactly. They don’t have the same ideology most FReepers do. Like the maskerbaters and shot shills, they lean to the left and provide entertainment.
May it be so-so!
“I don’t care about Russia, jackass.”
Ooooh. Struck a nerve, did I?
You never criticize Russia. Why?
You didn’t “strike” anything.
I don’t criticize Russia because we’re not giving them billions of dollars and military equipment to them.
I’m concerned about this country and Legacy Americans that are being held hostage by corrupt officials who should be swinging from wrought-iron lamp posts.
So, just to be clear, your only interest in the war is that we are giving Ukraine financial and material aid. I can appreciate that. However, if that is your only concern, why do you regularly vilify and insult and disparage Ukraine and its people? That is wholly gratuitous.
Because Ukraine is run by a bisexual performing arts puppet of corrupt US and NATO officials.
I don’t hate the Ukrainian people.
I just want no more brother wars, okay?
I don’t want Whites fighting wars on behalf of Oligarchs and Globalists anymore.
“Soon Ukrainian will be spoken only by a few people in the USA, Canada, western Europe, and maybe Israel.”
Soon Russia will only be mentioned in history books and Russian will only be spoken in Hell.
This is the third time I’m asking you to stop writing to me. Stop. Just stop.
So possibly 200,000 Ukrainian troops have been removed from action. With 300,000 remaining. Not including irregular units including territorial defense units.
Obviously the Russians have suffered more casualties but they can conscript more from their population and so far their war effort is holding strong. It helps that they killed Yevgeny Prigozhin even though he was an effective battlefield commander.
I’m posting your position on this subject for the edification of others. FReepers and lurkers deserve to know every time you post a thread, that you fully support the eradication of 150,000,000 Russian citizens, of which many are Christians. Not merely their defeat, but their complete and total genocide.
Such a position is so evil, so demonic, that it really begs the question as to why you should be allowed to post on this website. Unless it is the position of JimRob and the mods that this is an acceptable stance to hold.
Isn’t it amazing that the old fieldmarshaldj just can’t STOP himself COMMENTING when requested!
Guess FReepers and lurkers deserve to know his memory must be slipping. So like the rest of the Freepers, just forgive him & ignore his erratic comments.
This is now four times I’ve asked you to stop writing to me. All you ever do is troll and provoke. For whatever reason reporting you does nothing and pinging the moderators does nothing.
So I will ask one more time for you to stop writing to me. Stop.
Thank you.
Cry more
Zelensky’s body count so far is 500,000 so trust me he would love to reach Stalin levels if he had that many bodies
Sometimes old fieldmarshaldj does get confused with dates.
President Zelenskyy was elected in a landslide 2019 by running on the ‘reform’ platform.
In an interview with Times Radio in May’ 2023, Richard Dearlove, the former head of Britain’s MI6, observed that “the policy that [U.S. President Barack] Obama followed in 2014, when there was this initial Russian invasion … the way that this was handled, with the benefit of hindsight, was probably a mistake.”
However, the corrupt political manipulations of Putin with Clintons [1/93-01] Obama [1/09-17, & Biden [previous V.P. for Obama now president since 1/2021 continued to abuse Ukraine with policies that now continue to influence the Russia invasion of Ukraine resulting in the loss of tens of thousands of civilian and military lives.
Today, Ukraine is involved in the counteroffensive for their nation’s freedom to recapture 20% of their territory from Russia.
