“And that equals WWIII. Is that what you are looking for?”

That’s what they want. Ukraine cannot defeat Russia, so they need us to do it for them.

Ukraine doesn’t have to completely destroy Russia or their military since they are not trying to conquer Russia. They are only trying to defend lands they grew up in and war heavily favors the defender. As Russia tries to go further west, there are fewer Russian supporters and more resistance so every mile becomes more difficult to hold.

Even if they do manage to have their victory parade in Kiev (in another 10 years), Ukrainians fighting for their own soil will continue to frustrate Russia with asymmetrical guerilla attacks.

Ukraine will make Afghanistan look like a tea party for the Russians until they leave and/or go broke once again...

Meanwhile, Ukraine continues to get its ass kicked on the battlefield:

Syrsky Avdeyevka Counterattack Fails, Huge Ukr Losses

Ukraine Losing Ground as Weapons Wear Out & Ammunition is Depleted

Update on the conflict in Ukraine for March 3, 2024...

- Ukrainian forces continue falling back west of Avdeevka; - Ukraine continues carrying out drone attacks inside Russia despite the Western media admitting it has little to no impact on the Russian population;

- While the West continues debating funding for Ukraine, the primary problem still stems from the fact there is not enough arms and ammunition to buy with the money in the first place;

- What arms Ukraine still has suffers from an inability to properly sustain and maintain it, as the US DoD has admitted and now a growing number or articles in the Western media confirm;

- Claims that Ukraine has shot down a large number of Su-34 aircraft remain unverified, even if true this rate of success is unsustainable for Ukraine;

- Germany is investigating alleged leaks of officials discussing the transfer of German-made cruise missiles to Ukraine including for attacking the Crimean bridge;

- Even if the Crimean bridge is destroyed, Russia can still sustain both the civilian economy and its military facilities on the peninsula;

Doesn’t have to come to that

What do you want them to do - give up? And then get exterminated by Russia?

Ukraine wants to fight for their country, we should support them as long as they can and will

That’s what is happening now ... without WWIII

Once again no mention of how Putin could end this by removing his troops from Ukraine

THE single dumbest take on the Special Military Operation.

The Russian army is in the oblasts of the Russian Federation - Kherson, Zaporozhye, Donetsk, Luhansk, the Russian Republic of Crimea and the Russian federal city of Sevastopol.

Not in the Ukraine.

Sure a “vote “ done without complete occupation of Ukranian oblasts, run at gunpoint by muskovites and counted by Muskovites THAT has to be one of the dumbest takes, perhaps Ukraine can call a referendum in muskova and claim 99% vote for joining Ukraine

You usuals are getting really boring, perhaps a new play book folks

You're welcome to "suit up" and do a frontal attack on the Hated Russkis in their new oblasts.

You're more comfortable behind your keyboard, like all the neoconneds here on FR.

And another stupid take and comment, for once a country we are supporting is not asking for troops, just weapons. I did my 40 years of service from gulf one to Afghanistan so try again Troll

We were told that the Afghani people voted overwhelmingly for a Western style Democracy. However at the first opportunity they reinstated the very same organization that we “liberated” them from.

Propaganda is everywhere, how do you know that these people don’t genuinely long to be a part of Russia rather than the Ukraine?

Still not suiting up, I see.

And I don't see you condemning the decision by the VA last month:

"The Department of Veteran Affairs just banned the V-J Day kiss photo"

Just fanboi-ing for the Piano Puppet.

There is a lot that I can condemn, BTW that decision has been already reversed

Oops

Curious since you are the judge and jury on people and their actions and contributions, please free to enlighten us on the great and wonderful things you have accomplished in your life

Talk to The Hand.

I see that you were dissing Jumper, who has a lot more real-world experience than an REMF slug like you.

Perhaps you're just a posterior hole by nature, blitz.
