Right, Ukrainian Nazis and neo-Nazis are the good guys and Russians are eviiil!

Never mind that in this war, Ukraine has used civilians as human shields, targeted a nuclear power plant, intentionally target civilians in Donetsk and used cluster bombs that have been banned by more than 120 nations.

You're sick, twisted psychopath.

You're the defending the evil empire as run by the Biden regime. There is a special place in hell for you.

The West’s “hope” strategy also bet the farm that the West could easily isolate Russia on the international stage and devastate its economy with sanctions. Whoops!! Instead of isolating Russia and inflicting economic chaos, Russia quickly responded and re-established itself as a leader of the Global South, coalesced with China in a de facto alliance, and ramped up its defense industry to levels not seen since World War II. I think the quote attributed to Admiral Yamamoto at the end of the movie, Tora, Tora, Tora, captures the unexpected results of Western hubris — “I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.”

The West was put on notice over the past week by Russian leaders. Foreign Minister Lavrov, Defense Chief Shoigu, former President Medvedev and Speaker of the Duma Volodin all communicated a simple message — Ukraine must capitulate or it will cease to exist as a nation.

“Why don’t you just get out of my country with your anti-western and anti-american propaganda, I mean it’s disgusting.”

Didn’t realize you’re in Europe, since Europe was the ONLY THING discussed in my posting.

Explains a lot regarding your position on Ukraine.

I’m not in Europe but you are in your own world.
This is what you and your ilk do make up fantasies and then insist they are real.

“I’m not in Europe”

Nice try, but you wouldn’t be responding that way if you weren’t in Europe, since my post only dealt with Europe and set you off (again).

One of us is confused, for sure

I trust my own instincts and background to assess the situation
They’ve been accurate in the past

It’s OK now you’re going to tell other people where they live because you just know they wouldn’t have a certain response unless they live in a certain part of the world.

I like when you continue to discredit yourself so that others are not fooled by you.
