The Ukrainians fight like Vikings. Kiev was founded by the Vikings by the way...

Russia is +30 times bigger than Ukraine, has transformed its industry into a war-machine, 40% of its national budget oriented towards war, use communist North Korean troops and Islamic Chechen troops - while being massively subsidized by communist China - all teamed up against Ukraine ! And Russia has to retreat from Kupyansk...

Remember When Putin 3 weeks ago was celebrating the take-over of all of Kupyansk?? Why are the Russian generals lying to Putin about how badly things are going for Russia? 4 years of war... and Russia continues to refuse every Trump peace proposals.

The generals? Any general who admits what is going on will be purged and sent to Siberia, so they tell Putin what he wants to hear.

So now we are at the point of just making up outright lies since Ukraine cannot claim anything positive in real life

Ukraine is the Deep State's headquarters, and that's why the US paid over $300 Billion dollars to keep the pointless fighting going. With President Trump's elimination of the endless money, NATO's propagandists are on hard times, making up wilder and wilder accounts of supposed Ukrainian 'victories'. 

I want our $300 billion dollars back, but that's not going to happen. I want all the dead on both sides to have not died in vain, but that's not going to happen. So now Zelensky's handlers are dragging out the bitter end, wasting lives like old cigarettes - NATO never did care what happened to the soldiers in Ukraine. NATO cares about NATO.

I thought the story was they were hopeless, were scavenging washing machines and toasters and basically couldn't make anything useful oh and were going to collapse in weeks. And another piece of your historic idiocy. You do know who the Kievan Rus became - why the Russians of all the dastardly things to happen in the universe.

It was the Swedes. Every Norskie viking considered them substandard.
The real Vikings were Norskies.

I read these articles bouncing back and forth now for a couple years. Don’t care beyond my tax dollars not going over there. If both sides are having fun, let them continue, but not at my expense.

Very interesting. The only thing that can help Ukraine is military success.

Ukraine ping

mitch: [So now we are at the point of just making up outright lies since Ukraine cannot claim anything positive in real life]


Ukraine’s war has been pretty positive. It has held Russia to 20% of its territory after Russia maxed out at 25% in the early months, using a tiny fraction of the aid the US gave Russia in WW2. Russia beat Germany with the 14K planes, 13K tanks and other aid it received from the US, but the West was also burning German cities to the ground, and attacking both Germany’s allies and its occupying garrisons. Unlike Russia in WW2, Ukraine doesn’t have over 10m Allied Western troops bombing, strafing and sinking its enemy, so stalemate is a pretty good outcome, so far.

Even if you take Russian claims at face value, that Ukraine has lost a million people, that’s less than the 7m it lost against Germany in WW2, during which it fought on rather than surrender. And at 2.5% of the population, it’s way less than the 15% the Russian empire lost in WW2 over 4 years. And these are maximalist claims by the story-tellers on the Kremlin’s official payroll. Ukraine claims just over 100K friendly dead.

I’m a conservative, I’m therefore respecting border integrity.
It’s a concept you don’t seem to comprehend.

I supported Russia and Putin until 2014. When Putin decided to become the Red Yvan and a hardcore neo-soviet by becoming a thief and stealing others stuff, lands and houses, that ended my support of him. Why?

Because I’m a conservative. I support Law and Order.

My conservative and Christian values prevent me from approving rape and thievery. Thats why I’m also a strong Israel supporter. They are defending themselves from people who beheaded their children, committed rape, plunder and murder.

As a conservative I oppose that.

Russia is allied to IRAN and Communist North Korea and is MASSIVELY subsidized militarly by communist China.

As a conservative I oppose that.

Christianity and Western culture must resist the Globo-Islamo-NeoSoviet-Commie-Alliance (IRAN-Russia-North Korea-China).

There is NO way around this.

Did Fox News figure out that this was the usual fake news out of Ukraine and take it down?

Even the term “Russia” comes from the Swedish Vikings.
Why do you think the women in Kiev are beyond gorgeous and mostly blondes... Hm? The Swedish Vikings created Kiev from the ground up more than 500 years BEFORE Moscow even existed!

Kiev is the real Russia!
Moscow is the impostor, pretending to be the real Russian representative...

Found it at their main page:

The OP left off the “report” word at the end of the URL.
