This is the incredible moment a wounded Ukrainian soldier and his Russian foe emotionally paid their respects to each other as the fighter took his final breaths after being slashed by Putin's serviceman in a knife fight.

Dontcha know this is all worth it just to join NATO?

SMH

NATO has become a beast run by NEOCONS.

The whole mess reminds me of the song “civil war” by Guns N Roses

What a waste of young men.

RIP to all who have perished

Oh, shut up. This isn’t the story of politics or countries. It it is the story of two soldiers paying their respects of honor, courage, and humanity in a fight to the death where one dies. It a sacred moment.

> This is what war is. <

And a stupid and avoidable war at that. This Russia/Ukraine conflict is a reply of WW1, just on a smaller scale.

And like with WW1, there are no sensible leaders here. Fools and egotists all. However, that will change when Trump 2.0 takes power. Hopefully he can put an end to the carnage.

You cut my whole body open', the Ukrainian fighter cries out.

As he lies wounded, the Ukrainian pleads for the Russian to let him die alone and salutes his foe, saying: 'I want to die myself. Thank you. You were the best fighter in the world.

'Goodbye, you were better.'

The Russian fighter - also wounded in the fight - backs off and tells him: 'Goodbye.'

The Russian's knife is clearly visible as he backs off, with blood seen on his face.

The defeated Ukrainian then pulls the pin on his grenade in an attempt to take his own life.

Russian accounts of the incident claim the grenade explosion left the Ukrainian even more wounded, with his hand blown off, but still alive.

No more brother wars!

European Christian men bleeding each other dry for no good reason.

As destructive and senseless in the 21st century as in the 20th.

Like most wars over borders, the fighters are actually cultural, linguistic and religious brothers.

Great (horrifying) video to show to every leader (President, Premier, Chairman, Prime Minister, "Supreme Leader," whatever) of every nation. Yet again makes the point that war is hell (literally) for like the billionth time in human history. It's a shame that so many national so-called "leaders" never understand that.

Instead of intensely pressing for negotiations, Biden's moronic handlers continue sending the former stand-up comic our cash & military assets to prolong their war. Biden's (bloodthirsty) handlers will claim funding its proxy war against Russia weakens Russia over time. But have Biden's idiotic handlers actually thought it through? Of course not. Democrats just want more and more endless wars. That's why you see Democrats & kaMala/Tampon Tim voters frantically protesting in the streets and supporting Hamas, Ukraine, and Hezbollah. Endless wars. Democrats. No wonder it's a clean sweep for Republicans: House, Senate, White House and Supreme Court.

Democrat Cabal power-brokers Obama, Biden, Nancy, Bill, Chuck and Hillary are so incredibly dumb. I don't include kaMala and Tampon Tim in that power-brokers list. That's because those two total clowns were obviously intended by the Democrat power-brokers as a political goof to avoid Democrat voters accusing the power-brokers of being "sexist," "racist" and "misogynist" for instead picking Shapiro. Not that Shapiro would have defeated Trump but he would have at least given the Democrats a chance (if the power-brokers hadn't lied for years about Biden's incapacity, thus giving Shapiro and other top Democrat contenders an actual opportunity to compete for the nomination in place of Biden). But, of course, Democrat power-brokers hate democracy, so they tried to force the total incompetence of kaMala & Tampon Tim on the American people. That's how much Democrat power-brokers hate the USA. (A couple of freepers protested that I'm going too far and that, although misguided, Democrat power-brokers do love America. In response, I say, Nonsense, it's clear that Democrat power-brokers despise America.) Those are facts that the Democrat Cabal power-brokers cannot deny. The same Democrat power-brokers who planned & implemented their 2020 Election Steal. And the Democrats' Party-controlled MSM is still claiming to this day that Republicans & President Trump tried to "steal" the 2020 Election: Perpetrate something bad against the United States and then accuse your political opponents of doing what you yourself perpetrated ... the Democrat Party's MO.

Getting back to the original topic, if every leader of every country were forced to watch that war video, maybe the idiots running a lot of those countries would put heavy emphasis on negotiations over simply saying, Oh what they hell, I'm the leader, let's go to war. Especially that former standup comic who suddenly decided he's a "war leader." America: Yep, let's fund the former stand-up comic to the tune of literally hundreds of billions of dollars. The U.S. debt is only $35T, so what's another $200B in debt? Disgraceful morons.

Emotionally fraught and a glimpse into humanity for sure, but I’d call it tragic.

Every one of them makes more money for some politically connected crony. And The Big Guy gets his cut, even in his vegetative state.

It’s not sacred. It’s an obscenity and the video is war porn.

sa·cred
/ˈsākrəd/
adjective
connected with God (or the gods) or dedicated to a religious purpose and so deserving veneration.
“sacred rites”

Russia invaded Ukraine.

Putin started this war.

And yes, Putin is a member of WEF. Klaus Schwab’s “Golden Boy”.

So you are correct just not in the way you imagine.

You mean Ukrainians who venerate nazism, and a their totalitarian regime that tried to grab the eastern areas and started murdering people for speaking the wrong language.
