    NATO has been able to help the AFU kill over 700k Russian soldiers, destroy billions in Russian equipment, and no lost a single solider. And you think that is fairing poorly? What would you consider doing well?

    I thought it was up to 700 million Russians killed. If Ukraine can kill more Russians than Russians ever inserted into theatre, why can’t it kill more Russians than have ever lived in Russia ?

    I check in on the Covid thread maybe once a month. Funnily enough there were about 10 pages of new posts, but each page had one or two posts from people I haven’t blocked.

    The UK helped drag Ukraine into a disastrous war

    London was 97% white in 1961. It is currently 37% white. White people invented almost all of the cool stuff and they are needed to maintain Western civilization

    Today Birmingham (the second largest city) is a stinking rat nest. An estimated 35 million pounds of garbage is stacked on the streets because of insane liberal policies, judges and feminist theory that made garbage workers go on strike.

    UK censorship of speech is extreme

    Same. Last post of the thread, which always shows up blank even if blocked, is always a blocked poster. It is amazing the time and effort they put into their trolling effort, dedicated to one or two threads. Yet other posters keep taking the bait, thinking they are somehow serving a public service by responding to every disinformation post.

    Let me know when that has anything to do with the War in Ukraine.

    Of course the principal reason the Covid thread is still raging, even though most would rather move on and forget, is because crimes against humanity and historic mass-derangement.

    Although I check the thread very infrequently it seems that you have been responsible for the overwhelming majority of posts in the thread over the last several weeks. Apparently you're one of posters who hasn't decided to move on and forget.

    duggers_dad should be moving on from what and forgetting what? He was right about everything from the beginning even though the war hawks like chemgator won't admit it. He deserves a year long victory lap.

    Time will tell, as it always does in situations like these. One should probably consider how ordinary Ukrainians might feel about the West using their land and people as fodder to engage in a pissing match with Russia. Especially, given Russia’s inherent upper hand in cultural familiarity and language. What will Ukrainians have to show for the past nearly 3 years of fighting? It is not as if they were guaranteed freedom before the war broke out.

    Are you not smart enough to realize that Russia's invading Ukraine and opening torture centers and stealing appliances MIGHT cause Ukrainians to have a negative impression of Russia, as opposed to the countries that are helping Ukraine to defend itself?

    The West is absolutely NOT using Ukraine's land and people to "engage in a pissing match with Russia." Only an ignorant person would say such a thing--sounds like Russian propaganda. We are not forcing Ukraine to fight, we are merely providing weapons and support. The will to fight is all Ukraine's. They are fighting for their homeland and their freedom. They are fighting for their wealth--their mineral wealth and their farmlands. They are fighting for their right to self-governance, and their way of life. Only a low-life would think it reasonable for one country to invade another and steal its wealth, whether that be Russia invading Ukraine, or the U.S. invading Greenland or Panama.
