Zelensky is a Bolshevik.

He wants Ukrainians to die.

He usurped elections.

He could stop this in a second, if that was his goal.



Just think how many refugee immigrants will be needed in Ukraine after this war of attrition is over?


Consequences and outcomes are not hard to see, unless you refuse to recognize patterns.

Has anyone checked on the Ukraine bros? I don't have the energy to go into that thread.


They live in a complete alternate reality. In their minds Russia is collapsing, losing ground daily and Ukraine is making new wunderwaffe by the week

Seems like this war has been going on for 20 years.

It's a very suspect "war", I'll say that. The fact there's zero video of any kind of large scale encounters going on is very odd. All we've seen is random one-off videos of drones and that weird hand-to-hand combat situation claiming to be from this conflict.

I'm sure someone with more knowledge on it could explain why nothing major has happened in quite some time.

Try finding out how many anti ballistic systems Europe has given or sold to the Uke?

Well the EU, in their unwavering and loud vocal support of Ukraine, needs to get off their asses and provide more.


I mean, they all have the Ukraine flag on their social media accounts. What more do you want?

Having air defense around troops in those countries doesn’t mean we are providing air defense for those entire countries.


Except we have provided air defense for those countries and Ukraine.

You realize Zelensky has been back several more times and has even wore a suit?

Which goes to show how magnanimous 47 can be.

Regardless, it doesn't matter, he still came like a little punk his first time meeting the change of the guard. An it pissed people off

Ukraine Bros are former vaccine Bros.

A Bro is a douchebag of the highest order.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Russia never gained air superiority.
Cannot win quickly without it.

But you are obviously aware of a different sentiment

I'm aware of the sentiment that anything negative about Ukraine in that thread will get you basically attacked and called a Putin lover.

It's been that way almost since day one.

It's dwindled down to the same 10 folks talking about how well Ukraine is doing in it's "new" munitions manufacturing. Seems they should have put more R&D and money into air defenses.

Russia: still has missiles after 6 years at war on a 85 billion a year defense budget

U.S. - running out of missiles after 6 months at war with Iran on a trillion dollar defense budget

Offensive strike missiles are super cheap compared to interceptors.

It's way easier to strike a building 1000 miles away than it is to intercept the missile trying to strike that building.

You forgot about that great "Ghost of Kiev" pilot...which was nothing but a lie that they now call a myth to save face.

quote:

The Ghost of Kyiv was a viral wartime myth portraying a heroic Ukrainian MiG-29 pilot who allegedly shot down dozens of Russian aircraft during the initial days of the 2022 invasion. Ukraine’s Air Force Command officially confirmed in April 2022 that the figure was not a real person but rather a "superhero-legend" created to embody the collective spirit and resistance of the country’s fighter pilots.
AI stuff about it
