Meet Ryan O’Leary. He currently is in the Bakhmut area of operations fighting under the command of Ukrainian officers. Mr. O’Leary is not happy. He is a 34 year old alumni of Carroll High School in Iowa and a National Guard veteran who served in Afghanistan and Iraq,
He reports that his unit is undermanned and lacking in heavy weapons because “they’ve gone missing.” In other words, the weapons are being sold on the black market. O’Leary blames the logistics problems on the corrupt, criminal behavior of his Ukrainian chain of command — from the Major General to his Captain. He specifically calls out a Captain Baroda, noting that Baroda traffics in a host of illegal narcotics. Read the following series of tweets. They are self-explanatory:…
I fear that young Mr. O’Leary has signed his death warrant. Men like Captain Baroda will retaliate in a very brutal way against anyone who interferes with their “entrepreneurial” activity. At some point the U.S. legislators, media and public need to wake up from their delusional dream that Ukraine is a budding democracy fighting for truth and justice and realize it is a kleptocracy celebrating a neo-Nazi ideology.
President Zelensky and his general, Zalushny, have sent the cream of Ukraine’s youth into a slaughterhouse while depriving them of the supplies, ammunition and weapons required to fight the Russians.
It is a tragedy that Ryan O’Leary has traveled so far from the bucolic farms of western Iowa to learn a very hard truth. I hope he survives.
Read my 19. It applies to you more than most.
the war mongers here missed class the day they taught the kindergarten level lesson that ANYTHING democrats support is WRONG. and just like democrats, the war mongers WILL NEVER admit they were wrong no matter what evidence is put forth...

One last addition:
This isn't an endemic problem in the military. 99% of the Ukrainian military is professional, works to fix things, etc. But the problem is that 1% cascades like a waterfall onto the soldiers fighting at the front.

???
All I did was comment that Ryan posted the material that Sonar’s reporting on to his own social media. How is that insulting or boorish? How is that abusive or insolent?
Lighten up.
They don’t. You can fool some of the people.........
Sure, but Sonar dishonestly didn't post what Ryan also said"This isn't an endemic problem in the military. 99% of the Ukrainian military is professional, works to fix things, etc."

Because you guys come in packs. One posts. The the whole crew shows up and attacks. Everyone is tired of it.
And this fat kid posting on Social media appears to be made up.
Not cheering Ukraine does not make one a “Traitor”.

lacking in heavy weapons because “they’ve gone missing.” In other words, the weapons are being sold on the black market.
heavy weapons, like what?
It goes both ways. It’s the nature of politically charged topics. (Besides, my stance from the beginning is that we shouldn’t be involved at all, with either Ukraine or Russia.)
And again, what about my original post (which, by the way, is corroborated by other pro-UA posters on this thread) is an attack?
Eastern Europeans have poor hygiene and are generally rife with communical and sexually transmitted diseases. Many of their women are quite attractive but they’re still between First-World and Third-World status. Bathing on a daily basis is still not part of their culture.
If I had to make a choice, I’d have sex with an illegal alien from south of the border before I slept with a Ukrainian fresh off the plane at JFK.
Nasty bunch of people.
Ukraine ping
Ukraine pushed the Russians back from Kiev, Kharkov and Kherson. If it has a corruption problem, it’s not affecting Ukraine’s ability to inflicting stinging defeats on the Russians. I’d almost consider it a performance bonus.
Besides, Russia had a genocide problem during WWII, apart from being’s Germany’s key supplier and ally before it was attacked* by Hitler. We backed it anyway, to the equivalent of $2T. Russia received 13,000 tanks and 14,000 fighters and bombers from the US. Ukraine has received none.
People get caught up in the prison of ideological perspectives. Human motivations are not caged by ideology and remain the same as they’ve always been. Once the basic needs are met, what humans crave above all is personal prestige. And the one surefire way of gaining long-lasting fame is the classic land grab.
Ideology - whether a claimed fear of the West or neo-Bolshevism on Putin’s part - is not why Putin invaded Ukraine. He did it to put himself on a bigger pedestal.
The role of ideology is to serve as motivation for the lower ranks, who have to risk their lives on the battlefield. Putin can hardly say that he’s doing this to make himself BMOC among the pantheon of Russian leaders. He’d be strung up before the day was done. So the invasion of Ukraine became an effort to offset the looming threat of NATO conquest, to turn back the inexorable advance of Satanism and globohomo. A simple message for a people steeped in imperial propaganda in an empire that, after all, is the territorial successor to the old Mongol Empire, on whose soil 90% of Russia exists, today.
* And the amusing thing is that Russia was gearing up to attack Germany for territorial gain. Hitler merely struck before Stalin could.

It looks like somebody has worked themself into a fragging. He better watch his six. His “captain” isn’t going to be a happy camper.
He reports that his unit is undermanned and lacking in heavy weapons because “they’ve gone missing.”
So let’s make sure Lindsey Graham and the rest of congress sends another $50,000,000,000 to help defeat Mother Russia
When he signed on to be a mercenary….
On that note, I was under the impression that it was against federal law for a US citizen to be a mercenary.
It doesn’t matter how corrupt Ukraine is?
Are you effin’ kidding me?
The USA has absorbed millions of people, who we have zero idea of who they are. And you’re worried about Russia?
Were you this concerned when the US invaded Iraq for no reason? Were you this concerned when the US bombed Libya into oblivion?
Head over there with OLeary and do your thing instead of typing on FR
Right. Until it is confirmed by the Daily Mail or Reuters we just can't trust it.
Nailed It
Nasty bunch of people.

Well I wouldn’t go there, but drug usage amongst the Ukies is one of the highest in Eastern Europe, Ukie mafia legendary, drug trafficking, human trafficking, ….” no Johnny, Ukraine is not a bastion of liberty”.
There is good reason the Ukies were never admitted to the EU or NATO since their manufactured inception in 1991. Corruption was one of them.
