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.

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.

Bravo. The corrupted western media will tell you Americans support Ukraine, that they are somehow winning, didn’t anyone learn anything from Trump about our corrupted media?

I did, if Biden says turn left, best to turn right. If western media says turn left, turn right, you will be glad you did. Wake up America.

Americans support the war? Whatever initial support Neocons enjoyed was the result of the 24x7x365 media push the propagandists garnered. The war now is dead last in all midterm polls. As a result it’s no longer mentioned on the news. Whatever Republicans spend on this corrupt cesspool going forward will negatively affect the November result. Trump will run again this in 2024 and he’ll win.

$60 billion and counting. Support for this disaster will fade as the costs and pain increase. The new Cold War will have long term and unintended consequences. We are throwing money and resources down a rathole. Ukraine is one of the most corrupt countries in the world.

There is absolutely no proof that the stuff you posted is going to Ukraine. I believe I heard is not any kind of proof.

The Biden’s bread is buttered in Ukraine, not Moscow. I get a kick out of how some of you Ukey goobs try to play like the US supports Ukraine and Russia too.

Your own propaganda is so obvious.

“...don’t get sucked in by his agenda to destroy…your emotions are being played, again”.

Is that addressed to me?

It was the Moscow mayor’s wife who buttered Hunter’s bread in Russia.

And it was a Russian leaning Oligarch who buttered Hunter’s bread through Burisma in Ukraine.

Ukraine was investigating that guy and Burisma. It was Joe Biden who bribed Ukraine, not the other way around. And it was Russia that bribed the Bidens.

Putin is trying to mostly send ethnic minorities to war to avoid general mobilization of ethnic Russians - @TheStudyofWar
.

Also, death of a soldier from Moscow region is worth 2x a death from Yekaterinburg, and 3x a death of Buryat soldier in payments from government.

What does Bidens ass smell like?

You want to engage the USA in Russo/Ukraine problems?

You are a damned liberal control freak.

Why not engage your useless time in African wars.

I agree with Lira, the US special ops will soon take out Zelensky, they know Ukraine’s forces are about done and need this a their excuse to pull back. So I guess Zelensky won’t be enjoying that Miami Beach estate nor that $$billion he has squirrelled away.

You do have trouble recognizing authoritarian regimes, don’t you? You left out the Zelensky regime, virtually every EU government, Canada, and, of course, the Biden government. Then there are all the 3rd world and “emerging” kleptocratic autocracies. Do you have a well sourced spread sheet demonstrating that the RF is less free than some or all of Zelensky’s Ukraine? Biden’s US? Trudeau’s Canada? EU? Somehow I think you don’t. Don’t try to palm off someone else’s list. For example, Freedom House is in the tank for the left and is horrified by January 6. No, provide your own list of criteria, weightings, and the evidence behind them.

“It saddens me” we have so many trolls here.

Why don’t you explain to us your motivation for posting a lot of Russian propaganda? Why do you think aiding a country run by a tyrant that has invaded a neighboring country is something any conservative should cheer on like you do?

It was over before it started... There was no winning plan for the Ukrainian people, even if everything went their way.

From the article:

"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. The Western-dominated International Criminal Court has already begun investigations into the behaviour of Russia’s troops with the aim of prosecuting those responsible for violations of international law.

If Putin is charged, he would be the first head of state of a major power to face prosecution"

Putin won't live long enough to be hanged by the court.

I understand your post as saying the Ukraine is the illegitimate birth child of a filthy Congress.

Must be protected at all costs.

I’ve made recommendations for African wars before.

I think we should arm and train Christian villages and provide satellite surveillance and early warning when the Muslims are marching on their communities. At the very least provide each villages a phone and warn them.

None of the African wars, threaten the stability of a whole first world continent like Russia’s invasion of Ukraine does.
