On a visit to Kherson, I see why the Ukrainians will win — with our support
The New York Post ^ | November 18, 2022 | Douglas Murray

Posted on 11/21/2022 5:17:02 AM PST by Timber Rattler

Russia is going to lose this war. And Ukraine is going to win it. How can I say that with confidence? Because yesterday I was in the city of Kherson and saw Russia’s defeat with my own eyes.

Kherson is part of the south of Ukraine that was invaded and occupied in March this year. In September it was one of the four regions which the Kremlin gave a “vote” to in order to pretend that the regions really wanted to be part of Russia, not Ukraine. These “plebiscites” were meant to validate the occupier. But the whole thing was a sham, with results not seen since Saddam Hussein held “elections” in which he regularly received over 100% of the vote.

The Kremlin thought it was playing a clever game in “making official” its gobbling up these vast regions. But all the time Ukraine — backed by military provisions sent from the West — fought a far cleverer and braver war.

In recent days the consequences have been paying off. Last week the Ukrainians managed to take back the city of Kherson and much of the surrounding region. And they did it with barely a fight. So swift was the Ukrainian advance that many Russian soldiers didn’t even get the memo that they were meant to have fled the city.

Its funny to see the kook-right stereotypes come out...

The homophobes say I am gay.

The racists say I am not white

The xenophobes say I wasnt born here.

Good stuff! Keep it up!

Your own words on this thread suggest you're attracted to men.

“Let me know when Douglas Murray, like Sean Penn, etc., grab an AK-47 or such and actually show their support in the actual fighting instead of holding some flag, kthx.”

And the FR keyboard warriors also. I’d love to see mire than empty words.

Always pumping out the BS and never answer a direct question.

Not a successful approach to the disinformation/propaganda that you spew.

In the unlikely event, someone actually pays for your posts; they are paying too much even at zero.

According to plan:

Ukraine Plans Evacuations in 2 Stricken Cities as Temperatures Plunge
The government is making plans to evacuate residents who want to leave from Kherson and Mykolaiv, where fighting has badly damaged the infrastructure.

The cabal-loving Zelensky-ites seems to have picked up a few new recruits. Good job fighting for MAGA.

We keep hearing that Russia’s losing badly and Ukraine is going to win. When? When exactly? In Three months it will be the one year anniversary of this war. Ukraine has supposedly been on the cusp of winning for 6 months now. My fear is that this war will grind on for years. Or that Russia will do something drastic that will cause a broader war. Each side says their side is winning but the war grinds on and on.

ummm? No, you said I was a lovable guy and I was stating your fraternal love for me from the get go.

And then you had to “go there”: “Dimwitted and gay.”

It’s in the final stages of being done. You should try reading the news once in a while.

There is zero chance of Russia giving up the area it now controls. 2 posted on 5/3/2022, 10:30:00 PM by Kazan

all that is happening is Ukrainians are being massacred and losing more and more of their country.

Zelensky is a fool.
And I predict he will soon take his family and run.
