You know the irony of that comment about the 1000 Ukraine drones?
What did the 1000 drones Russia launched accomplish? Killed some more apartments?
But here's the kicker: The Ukrainian drones were manufactured in Ukraine....the drones Russia launched were made in Iran.
The great Russian manufacturing goliath.....
By the way, how is that T-14 tank program coming? Fifteen years ago Putin orderd 2400 of them to be completed by 2024. How many have made it to the front lines so far?
I guess they really haven't started trying yet until they bring in the T-14s?

Ok so since you know, tell us: What Oblast is JB referring to when he said Zelensky was in danger of losing another one? Is this one of the four? Or is he referring to a fifth one?
Would you listen to yourself, just stop it, get a grip. They have lost over 20% of their country, 100s of thousands of casualties, stolen billions from the only country that cares to help them, and destroyed their economy and demographics for a century......and you want to know if they lost 62,000 square miles or 61, 999.

Well that's over 11 years.
Three years ago it was nearly 30%. But they drove the Russians back from all the major Capitols. I thought maybe Russia would have captured some of those by now?
quote:
thousands of casualties
That's what happens when you get invaded. You fight back. It's called a war. It's somewhat different from a Special Military Operation
quote:
the only country that cares to help them
I think the group of counties actively giving significant aide to Ukraine is about 25. Why are you saying it's just one?
quote:
destroyed their economy and demographics
That was Russia who bombed their ports, power plants, and export terminals, and tried to blockade their coast. That was until Ukraine basically sunk their Navy. Without a Navy of its own.
And Ukraine is now the largest producer of military hardware in Europe. It will be exporting arms to NATO for decades to come.
As for rhe demographics....theirs is looking better than Russia's. When this war is over millions of Ukrainians will come home. But millions of educated Russians will still flee when they have the chance. They brain drain their is irreversible.

Im not the one posting 25 videos a day bragging about capturing a village of 24 people or a tree line and 4 farm fields. That's your boy bot JB.

Is that near the factory that makes the T-14?
Iran still makes the vast majority of them. They did give Russia a license last year.
I guess that's why they had to buy a few million artillery shells from North Korea? Because they had plenty of their own?

Incorrect again. You have a very bad habit of spewing alot of BS
Ukraine Demographics
Pre-War (2022): ~41.4 million
Post-War (2025): ~30 million
Population Loss: A decline of ~11 million driven by emigration, displacement, casualties, and occupied territories.
Vs Russia who has actually gained millions of new Citizens
Pre-War (2022): ~146.2 million (including Crimea).
Post-War (2025): ~ 148–150 million With Ukrainian territories that are now Russia and people changed Citizenship.

You are wasting your breath, its akin to talking to a rock and expecting a rational response.

It really boggles my mind how passionately the war between Russia and Ukraine has enflamed so many here in America. I dare say the number of Americans who have even the most tangential connection to either country is infinitesimally small. I just don’t get it. I can understand having an academic interest in this war. But to become emotionally involved, either pro-Russia or pro-Ukraine seems patently absurd.

I just enjoy working him up.
He and Trinidad talk about demographics....coming from the country that invades a country and kidnaps its children to send back home to bolster its own disastrous population decline.
The Russian disinformation ministry says they can't negotiate with Zelensky because he wasn't legitimately elected....coming from a dictator who literally murdered his opposition leader in prison.
There's no end to their disingenuous bullshite.

That's basically what it is.....it's either OK to invade your neighbor and claim a big piece of his territory....or it's not.
And if it's not ok, then what are we gonna do about it. Biden saying: We will do whatever it takes to keep Russia from winning....but then not giving HIMARS for a year. Etc etc etc.
Johnson saying: I'm not sending more money to Ukraine. And then going to Mar a lago for meetings and then approving like $65 billion in new arms.
We should either support Ukraine. Or not.
The only thing that stirs my emotions at all is the politics of it.

I honestly don't care about Russia. I just want the Deepstate/Neocons (Victoria Nuland, Lindsey Graham, etc. who are responsible for this to be thoroughly defeated and embarrassed. Millions of MAGA patriots hate the Bush's ,Cheney's,Victoria Nuland, Lindsey Graham, John Kerry, Obama, Clinton's, etc. That is who we are fighting against. This has nothing to do with Ukraine vs Russia. It has everything to do with the Deepstate vs MAGA Patriots

Here’s the thing. When you sift through the histrionics of both the “pro-Russia” and “pro-Ukraine” sides, what you’re left with is the fact that the winner of this war impacts the US little, if at all. The US has been around for one year shy two and a half centuries. In that time what now makes up Ukraine was under Russian, Austria-Hungarian, or Polish rule for all but the last roughly 34 years. Conversely, if Ukraine were to somehow win this war, already a virtual impossibility and becoming even less and less likely by the day, it really doesn’t affect the US in any appreciable way.
Sure, there’s ideological reasons for wanting Ukraine to win, but in terms of Realpolitik, we have no real dog in this fight. The only way that changes is if Trump’s plan of gaining control over Ukraine’s natural resources for repayment of war aid comes to fruition. And that doesn’t look to be happening.

Kherson human safari update.
UN commission says Russian drone attacks against Kherson amount to crimes against humanity
by Olena Goncharova May 29, 2025 1:55 AM
Russian armed forces have committed crimes against humanity by deliberately targeting civilians with drones in Ukraine's Kherson Oblast, according to a new report by the United Nation's Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine.
The commission concluded that the drone attacks, which began in July 2024, were widespread, systematic, and part of a coordinated state policy to terrorize the population and forcibly depopulate the area. The findings were based on more than 300 videos, over 600 Telegram posts, and 91 interviews with victims, witnesses, and local officials.
"From July 2024, Russian forces have recurrently killed and injured civilians in an area stretching over more than 100 kilometres along the right bank of the Dnipro River in Kherson (Oblast)," the commission said in the report published on May 28.
Nearly 150 civilians have been killed and hundreds more wounded in drone strikes on Kherson city and 16 surrounding localities. Victims include men, women, and children, with many struck while going about their daily routines. Ambulances, which are protected under international law, have also been targeted, resulting in additional casualties.
Drone operators used real-time video feeds to track and strike civilians and civilian vehicles. "They are simply chasing and hunting civilians who are on their way to work or walking their dogs. They drop explosives from drones like it is a video game," a senior Kherson hospital official said. The attacks were often followed by Telegram posts showing the killings and threatening further violence. One message warned, "Get out of the city before the leaves fall, you who are destined to die."
The report notes that these attacks violate the core principles of international humanitarian law, which prohibit targeting civilians. The commission concluded that Russian forces committed the war crime of intentionally attacking civilians and the war crime of outrages upon personal dignity by sharing videos of the assaults online. The constant threat has left residents living in fear, often venturing outside only under cloud cover or near trees for safety.
"The recurrent drone attacks, the widely disseminated videos showing them, and numerous posts explicitly exhorting the population to leave suggest a coordinated state policy, on the part of the Russian authorities, to force the population of Kherson Province to leave the area," the report said.

Thick black smoke and open flames were seen coming from upper floors of the facility on Kondratyevsky Avenue. Eyewitnesses reported a strong smell of burning and heard explosions before the fire started.
