Ukraine is losing heavily from conflict with Russia
Gulf Today ^ | 7/23/22 | Michael Jansen

Posted on 07/23/2022 1:34:59 PM PDT by JonPreston

The biggest loser is Ukraine itself. Towns and villages have been destroyed, thousands of civilians and soldiers have been killed or wounded, four million civilians have become refugees, six million are internally displaced, the country’s farmland and manufacturing plant have been devastated, and its economy has been wrecked. The damage and destruction inflicted on Ukrainian infrastructure is estimated at $60 billion at this point.

Having stoked the fires of war, Biden and Johnson are also losers. Despite his engagement in Ukraine’s war effort, Biden’s overall approval rating has sunk to 38 per cent with 53 per cent disapproving of his performance. Only 35 per cent approve his handling of the economy – which is beset with a rising cost of living due to inflation and higher petrol prices – and a mere 40 per cent approve of his conduct in the Ukraine war, with 49 per cent disapproving.

Yeah we stoked the fires of war. Not.

How come your hero Putin is the biggest frigging dunce in history, that he let senile Joe Biden force him to attack Ukraine.

How absurd

Yes. Bye bye Zalenski

Bye bye Biden’s and his war cheerleaders . Anything Biden does or supports is bad for Americans. What will it take for the sheeple to realize this?

Hello? Any one remember his Afghanistan arms give away? His 10 percent to the big guy? His Covid vax hoax? A tiger can’t change his stripes…don’t get sucked in by his agenda to destroy…your emotions are being played, again.

On a prorated/percenatge basis, perhaps using national GDP (UKR vs USA), it seems Putin has damaged the USA more than UKR. Add up all the crap the Brandon blames on Putin (supply chain, gas, inflation, food shortages), I think we are the bigger loser.

8 paragraphs down in the article. This quote is the bottom line of the issue:

“Putin is already a loser in the politico-military front. The Russian armed forces have not only failed to defeat Ukraine’s army but have also committed crimes against humanity and war crimes by attacking and abusing Ukrainian civilians.”

BTW, Today is day 150 of Putin’s 3 day war

Nice, do realize Vlad gives a full honors burial for his soldiers, he will bury his dead, liberate and fortify the eastern provinces then move on.

Zelensky on the other hand, buries his dead in mass graves, if they are recovered at all. He then will have to go begging for billions to rebuild his destroyed nation, if it isn’t carved up.

Support neither side, both Zelensky and Vlad are corrupted, let evil destroy evil.

Both the American Public and Congress are solidly on the side of Ukraine.

Only the Moscow bribed Bidens are slow walking the aid.

But I hear there are now 12 HINARS in Ukraine and at least 8 more coming.

I think I heard A10 Warthogs are in Ukraine now and both F15 and F16s are coming.

Should have been done when Putin was amassing troups. But I guess those bribes to the Bidens paid off for Russia.

Your flippant response to my posting about the tremendous humanitarian tragedy caused by the Russian invasion leads me to believe that you are unmoved by the rocket-bombing of civilian populations (to say nothing of the “smaller-scale” war atrocities committed by individual Russian soldiers).

It saddens me that so many putative conservatives here at Free Republic are so apathetic when it comes to authoritarian regimes invading European countries and annexing territory.

Regards,

My response was not flippant, it was sarcastic. You virtue-signal like a Karen.

The Ukrainians got themselves into this mess with the help of the globalists and they can fight their way out of ot on their own as far as most Americans are concerned.

And the majority of Americans and Congress were suckered into the Covid hoax scams and mandates. As you can probably tell, I wasn’t. Discernment is a gift, anything Senile Joe supports is designed to destroy and cripple America….
Carry on….destruction awaits.
