Are 500,000 dead and wounded in Ukraine enough? Apparently not.
The Hill ^ | 09/02 | DOUGLAS MACKINNON

Posted on 09/02/2023 10:21:51 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

The United States government estimates that approximately 500,000 soldiers in the Ukrainian and Russian militaries have been killed or wounded on the battlefield to date.

Shockingly, the real numbers are surely dramatically higher as both nations are known to deliberately undercount their casualties. Sorrowfully, those numbers don’t include the thousands of Ukrainian civilians killed or the millions who have fled the country.

We need to have a cease fire. Give Putin his land bridge. Then Polish peacekeepers will arrive in Ukraine so the Russians won’t attack again. Shortly, we’ll have a Marshall Plan for Ukraine so they’ll eventually get in the EU.

Here is a history of Ukraine’s wars. I do not see any wars on here since the independence from Russia. So try again Ivan.

No. That is simplistic and only resolves one side of the coin.

It is not simplistic. That is all that is necessary to end the war.

Biden has done precious little to help the Ukrainians.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-64656301 ... US President Joe Biden announced nearly half a billion more dollars of US military aid to Ukraine during a surprise visit to Kyiv this week.

That’s on top of billions the US has already spent on Ukraine’s conflict with Russia. Congress appropriated more than $112bn (£92.47bn) in 2022 alone.

The US is the largest contributor to Ukraine in terms of money spent.

The war could’ve been avoided by ukraine, but the globohomopedos pushed.

They could’ve negotiated a peace but didn’t.

Even now there are only two outcomes - negotiate a peace or the ghp’s will foist wwiii on us.

Once again these were Russia’s demands, including abandoning Poland. Is Poland a homo country you fool?
