“”””Where is Code Pink””””

Stop the War in Ukraine
“This past Saturday, thousands of people joined us for an online rally to stop the war in Ukraine and say no to NATO.”
“ Read CODEPINK’s statement on the war, sign the petition to President Biden, and call on Congress not to allow the U.S. to transfer weapons that will further escalate the already dangerous war.”

They probably would have stopped when the Russian-speaking areas close to Russia were traded back to Russia for whatever we want from them.

It’s probably too late for that now.

I know it also had to do with our missile-launching capability.

Everything could have been solved and bargained with the right leadership but forget about that now. I believe the left really wants a nuclear war. They think they will come out ahead.

…and the Ukro Nazis will kill all the ethnic Russians, similar to their shelling of Donetsk since 2014. Make no mistake, Vlad is keeping his ethnic Russian provinces….plus more if the West keeps poking the Bear.

Just repeating lies does not make them true. There was no deliberate shelling of the ethnic Russian population. Even the numbers reported by the so-called Donbas republics do not support this. As for the ethnic Russian provinces, the only one is Crimea. Luhansk and Donetsk have ethnic Ukrainian populations. And what about Zaporizhzhia and Kherson, which have overwhelming Ukrainian majorities? All of this has been pointed out before but that does not stop some from repeating Russian lies.

And if Russia does not want to be poked perhaps it should pull back its own claws and stop poking its neighbors. Funny how those who cry "don't poke the bear" never acknowledge this.

Research outside the Great DNC MSM FIREWALL. There are a lot of sources but hard to find. It took several years to ferret out a dozen great resources on the war.

Bottomline it’s a labor of love - and Zeepers deserve to hear the truth.

Charlie Co. 2/504 11B - until I shattered T-4 and T-5 on post, while riding a motorcycle at 10 MPH.

Thank God I wasn’t going fast or I’d be dead.

No, we just invaded Ukraine and annexed it.

Do they serve good borscht in your cafeteria at work?

Things must be really bad if you are dragging out that thoroughly debunked lie.

That strike on the Russian oil storage tanks must have been really serious.

You can’t deny the UN reports for 2014 about the Ukies shelling the ethnic Russian provinces…..you can deny the hundreds of UN human rights violations by Ukraine filed by the UN, but then you become a denier.

Here is just one:

“ GENEVA/KYIV (14 July 2016) – A new UN report released Thursday describes the widespread killings that have taken place in Ukraine since January 2014 and highlights the very limited accountability that has taken place.

The report, which was prepared by the United Nations Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine*, states that the armed conflict in certain districts of Donetsk and Luhansk regions, “fuelled by the inflow of foreign fighters and weapons from the Russian Federation, accounts for the majority of violations of the right to life in Ukraine over the last two years,” claiming up to 2,000 civilian lives. Close to 90 per cent of conflict-related civilian deaths have resulted from indiscriminate shelling of residential areas.

Nobody has taken responsibility for any civilian deaths caused by the conduct of hostilities, the report says, adding that some of the killings may amount to war crimes and/or crimes against humanity.

In general, it concludes, “impunity for killings remains rampant, encouraging their perpetuation and undermining prospects for justice.”

The 20-page report, which has an additional 31-page annex describing more than 60 specific cases, focuses mainly on cases of alleged killings of civilians, and people otherwise protected under international humanitarian law, in the conflict zone while no armed hostilities were taking place in the immediate vicinity of the incidents.

Significant numbers of people, including civilians, have also been summarily executed or died in custody, with most such killings occurring in 2014 and early 2015. According to the report, armed groups mainly executed individuals who had, or were believed to have, vocal ‘pro-unity’ views or to support Ukrainian forces, while Ukrainian forces targeted people based on their alleged affiliation with, or support for, armed groups, or for their “separatist” or “pro-Russian” views….

Fact is this Ukie civil began in 2014 when the Ukie Neo Nazis began shelling the Russian population in the Donbass. Vlad has done an excellent job protecting his people from the Ukro Nazis.

Why do you support our suicide? Reducing Russia’s massive oil production only increases the oil prices resulting in much higher prices at the pump. Even brain Dead Joe asked the Ukies to stop disrupting the world’s oil supply….carry on war cheerleader- your “ reward” is around the corner.
