“Let me get this straight, you don’t want us to use our funds to support Ukraine, but you DO want us to force Ukraine to surrender.”
That’s the problem with you can’t understand n things idjits,: We don’t have to force the Ukrainians to do anything. Not our problem, keep your damn hand off my wallet and STFU deepStateWEFwillie
You’ve never answered my question. Are you a Russian national whose namesake is the city on the Volga?
Simmer down bunker boy. You sound like Hitler in '45.
“NATO will leave Ukraine a rump state.”
From what I am seeing the EU/NATO/US are gearing up for a direct war with Russia. Looks like WW3 is on the way!
Significant Russian Breakthrough | New Stage in Battle of Avdiivka

Looks like Avdiivka is going to get the Bakhmut treatment. From the sides.
One can almost hear the cannons and churchbells from the 1812 Overture, eh
Try youtube:
You can put the video on 1.25 or 1.50 speed and read the transcript which is faster than watching the videos.

WWI was basically an American War from the perspective of Trade. The United States sold gun powder and components to make artillery and ammunition to both Germany, France, Britian. Only when the United States entered the Great War in 1917, did the trade with Germany end.
DOW CORPORATION was the biggest seller to Germany.
I can remember my father showing me news clippings from the WWI era with trade figures, speculation that Germany would capitulate without US trade.
The US supplied both Iran and Iraq in the early 80’s war through Third Country Sales, e.g., US allies making artillery, shells, ammo carrier trucks, refurbished tanks, etc.
There are no Great or Honorable Nations - there are only Nations with National Interests - which can be military, political, economic/industrial, which encompasses the vast sphere of human interactions. We buy, sell, steal, beg, barrow, lie all in the name of National Interests. We justify killing for the same reasons. We each one and collectively are caught up in the evil of other men.
I think I am the one who introduced that into the thread. I got it from several different comments made over the past few months, but more specifically in the past 48-hours it was brought up by a Belarusian Mil blogger who is actually fairly accurate - Military Summary Channel on youtube. It was in one of the last 3-4 videos near the very beginning.
Just go the transcript of the video on youtube and read it or it will take too long listen to these guys.
In another comment to another FReeper I listed several YT channels that seem pretty accurate over the test of time.
Soviet Union was never communist there was the .5% who lived very well and the rest who lived as “communists “
Todays russia simply has the relatively well off east and the rest
“Break through in the north” 5-6 months later and the “2nd greatest military” has moved some towards capturing a city they have razed.
Color me doubtful, I have seen many “breakthroughs” only to see muskovites retreat with the resulting meters of victorious gains and tons of scrap metal and bodies littering the “liberated” ground.
Hey kazan have they fixed the poop river or just given it a name?
That may be, but their GDP doesn’t even surpass California even after all the damage newsom has done
How hydrocarbon exports doink?
Significant breakthrough, new stage in battle.
Pretty impressive for 5-6 months, didnt Putin demand it be taken by October, November, December, January, February…..
With “victories “ like this…..
Ask him if he can smell the poop river, that will give it away
Just like Jon in his fervor admitted he was “literally outside the wildberry warehouse” fire.
It’s rather simple. Cut off the flow of wasted money to them and they’ll come to the table. Either way, it’s over for Ukraine come November. Biden will no longer need them as a distraction from the disastrous US economy, the massive illegal invasion of our southern border and his wanton pandering to woke victim groups. Happens whether he wins or loses.
Unwilling to compromise......meaning unwilling to give up millions of illegal foreign slag invader future Democrat VOTERS
