War in Ukraine

Win/win for Putin republicans. Demand the US stop buying Russian oil which will likely drive gas prices up for which Biden can be blamed nonstop on Fox.

 

a one way ticket to the gulag

 

You know the deal

 

*chef’s kiss*

 

Yeah, that's the ticket... fighting nazis in ukraine.... riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.
Putin is apparently Russia's answer to Hitler, complete with war crimes and other atrocities. No camps or gas chambers (yet) but of the same disgusting ilk.

 

Hate for Putin's Russia Consumes Ukraine

 

China’s side-lining should never be forgotten. I am not an anti China guy, but IMO, they are missing an opportunity to show up & act like a super power player. I think they could stop this. Blood on their hands.

 

Blood on their hands isn't exactly something that keeps China up at night. They have done things that have matched and/or topped Russia in terms of atrocities but still get a pass.... because China.

 

Speaking of children, some Ukrainians on Twitter are reporting that Russian troops are scattering IEDs that look like children's toys. No idea if it's legit.

 

They have bigger plans.

 

My dad had 2 guys in his unit killed when a little girl dropped her doll, one bent to pick it up to give it to her, then it blew up (Nam). Exploding toys aren't new.

 

Cool story bro. It had literally nothing to do with what I posted which is what happens when you’re easily triggered. Work on that. However your inconsequential rant was none-the-less entertaining and made me smile, so thank you for that. Cheers.

 

I’m a Republican and your post made me LOL. Nice take.

 

You know, I should probably edit my post because I know there are plenty of republicans who don’t deserve to be attached to Putin or Trump.

 

Logistics is a bigger issue than supply for the US and other NATO countries getting weapons and munitions to Ukraine. The hardware is available but the coordination between member countries is a problem. Hoping the bottleneck breaks soon.

The Ukrainian army is very well trained, thanks in part to the 10th Special Forces group and special ops groups from other countries. Their own special operations command is small but formidable. They can't stop the invasion but they can make the occupation difficult for Russia. The cost of occupying Ukraine will be their undoing.

 

But then they couldn't pull a Ukraine on Taiwan.

 

So didn't realize that some recent video of Putin is looking photoshopped, like his hand is going through a mic, etc. Apparently this has raised some questions as to where he is, what's going on, whatever.

Zelensky trolled him in one of his speeches (last night?) where when he finished talking he grabbed the mic and physically moved it back & forth. LOL

 

Also from CNN live:

"US State Department: Russian embassy's claim is "a flat out lie"

From CNN’s Kiely Westhoff

The US State Department said a tweet from Russia’s Embassy in the United Kingdom was a “flat out lie.”

The tweet, posted Monday, claimed that Russia's military actions aimed "to stop any war that could take place on Ukrainian territory or that could start from there,” quoting Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

US State Department Spokesman Ned Price responded on Twitter, saying: “This is a flat out lie. Russia’s special military operation is instigating a war in Ukraine. Ukraine does not want a war. #StopTheLies.”"

With the exception of the Chinese, India, and a select group of *insert name here* including Trump & his acolytes, who would believe that hogwash?

 

They are busy making money on trade with Russia... the opposite of what you and the rest of the world wants.

I'll go one step further. I think Russia told China what it's plans were all along and China gave them at least tacit approval for it.
