That statement alone shows he’s doesn’t know squat, and it meets what you are demanding. He has made pronouncement after pronouncement that have not happened; he reminds me of Axis Sally or Tokyo Rose.

You mean to tell me that Russia has been mopping up since March? If so, you have a weird definition of “mopping up.”

I am not for all we are doing to prop up Ukraine, but LJ has been wrong so often, I will wait for events to actually happen.

“That statement alone shows he’s doesn’t know squat..”

A personal assertion.
You are entitled to that opinion.

That said, you still have not conclusively proven anything he said or has asserted is wrong. Nada.

Thanks for playing.

>> You damn well she meant 100,000 Ukrainian soldiers because that is what she was told.
You can come up with all the spin you like, that is a realistic, probably low, number.<<

I refuse to be scolded by a neo-Soviet Russky like yourself. You already outed yourself.

So, no, I don’t know your Soviet-supplied propaganda is true. In fact, I know it is a damned lie. So you want to send me and all my descendants to die in our Soviet work camps?

As a matter of fact, the EU made damned clear she meant that there were 100,000 soldiers, but also that she meant casualties, not deaths.

What I meant was that Russia is not the super power that it is thought of.

A super power, waging war where it has short logistic and supply lines directly into its territory, should have overrun Ukraine.

It is, in that regard, if not a spent force, then at least not the force it assumed to be.

Russia didn't move into the Ukraine in a bloodthirsty and blitzkrieg way because President Putin considered the people there as fellow ancestral countrymen and only wanted to liberate them from the Nationalist Socialists that had taken over their government.

These special circumstances and feeling of camaraderie has now eroded since February and new tactics and strategies are in play.

But you knew that and refuse to admit it because it doesn't fit your "Russians as Orcs" narrative.

“What I meant was that Russia is not the super power that it is thought of.”

The longest war in US history was against goat and sheep herders armed with AK-47s and rocket grenade launchers...19.5 year.

What does they say about the US and its alleged status of being the premier superpower say versus what you have asserted concerning Russia in Ukraine?

You need a dictionary. Look up “Defeated.” That is not an opinion. Facts are stubborn thing. You just think he cannot be wrong in spite of the obvious facts on the ground.

I need to find the picture of Muhammad Saeed al-Sahhaf and photoshop Larry’s face on him.

Interesting that the term, "Carthaginian peace", was popularized by the 20th century economist John Maynard Keynes."   Interesting that Keynes is the founder and hero of the Democrat generational, perpetual debt, economy.

Colonel Macregor used a term the Democrats should clearly understand.   I especially like Doctor Peter Weller describe what the Romans did to Carthage.

Wash your mouth out with soap!

I have stated here often that I want Russia to win this war. Not because I necessarily like them but because, (1) They appear to be the lesser of two undesirables. At least the Russians don’t worship the rainbow unicorn. At least the Russians didn’t finance the Biden crime family. (2) Because Biden is for Ukraine, and I refuse to take Biden’s side in anything. (3) We have been lied to by the media, I have no idea if there is even a war being fought.

I don’t think the Russians are orcs anymore than the Ukrainians are. Assuming anything I read or see about the conflict is true, it appears to be devolving into a nasty, brutal, no-holds-barred slug fest. People, sometimes civilians, die in war.

It is, as Robert E Lee said, “Good that war is so unpleasant, otherwise we should grow fond if it.” The only way this stops is when one side surrenders. No negotiated peace.

@canuck

Your triggered response exposed you, and going full bore on the personal attacks against me shows you know the leaks on Twitter and Telegram are the truth. You provided no counter evidence but used a lame Russia! Russia! Russia! Rachel Maddow-style attack.

Grow up and stop being so overly emotional.

Time and again you still won’t castigate the 2014 Obama coup that overthrew a free and fair election in Ukraine so the only rational explanation is because you like Obama.

You won’t castigate Zelensky being tied to the hip of Pelosi and Adam Schiff (who paid a personal visit to him on Ukraine), or castigate Vindman being tied to his hip (who also supports Zelensky), so the only rational conclusion is because you like Pelosi, Adam Schiff, and Vindman.

Why are you here then at FR?

They were different stories. This wench says something once, and you guys post it five times. Anyway, those stories had images of dead Russians. Who doesn’t WANT to see that?

Then, please explain what you meant when you posted this?

It shouldn't have been difficult for anyone to see that Russia was handling their Ukrainian brothers with kid gloves intentionally.   President Putin also wanted to minimize comparisons with the Soviet Red Army invasions in Hungary('56) and Czechoslovakia ('68".

@canuck You failed to prove how I am wrong and so you again just engage in name calling.

And you’re still triggered and overly emotional.

Secondly, you haven’t proven you are conservative. Having the word conservative in your name isn’t proof.

I’ve been kind in providing ways for you to prove it.

But you’ve failed to prove it and yet I will be patient when asking you to prove it and showing also how it can be proven.

I won't scolded by a neocon repeating Biden regime propaganda and defending "the liberal world order" of the uniparty, Soros and WEF crowd.

There isn't anything remotely conservative about anyone that do that since they represent the new communism in the world.

Russia is not even remotely communist anymore. It's more conservative and Christian nation that we are as a whole.

@canuck

My last time here on this thread talking to you; You’ve been a sore disappointment.

When you sling Russian-this, Russian-that accusations against me you have to prove them.

If your accusations against me were so easy to prove you would have done so by now.

But you fail to do time and again because you can’t. If you can, then prove it.

Lastly, you’ve been given ample opportunity to show you are anti-Pelosi, anti-Vindman, anti-Schiff (who are all tied to Zelensky and support him) but you’ve failed to do this as well.

It’s easy for you to prove you are against them, but you’ve failed to do this.

Now there’s a trail here that testifies for all at FR to see there’s something wrong with you, you’re easily triggered, you lash out, and people can see that I and others have been patient.

And they can see you fail to prove you’re conservative when it would be so easy for you to do this.

You’ve shown you are fake conservative.

You ought to be ashamed of uourself.

“neocons don’t give a damn how many Ukrainians die or how much Ukraine shrinks.”

You meant, Russians don’t give a damn, since they invaded a sovereign nation and continue to bomb civilian areas.
