Here's the part that I don't get (and I've said this before on other threads): Do they think that continuing to support him is going to make them safer? It only makes him stronger and more able to threaten them! The longer they support him, the MORE danger they are entrapped in!

The initial push into Kyiv was a major disaster for them. The only other chance of securing a quick victory would have been to capture Odessa and the link with the Maldovan breakaway region. Thankfully, the Russian army is inept and logistically incompetent.

Well, during recent months the Russians has gained some ground in the very far southeast. Their speed has declined, but is they could maintain it, they could take all of Ukraine in little less than 100 years.

A little before the war started, that noted he-man, Ted Cruz, posted a Russian army propaganda video, and favorably compared them to the "woke" US military. Now we know that the Russians would last no more than a few hours against our woke army. nypost.com/2021/05/21/t...

nypost.comTed Cruz mocks ‘woke, emasculated military’ ad, compared to strong RussiansSen. Ted Cruz mocked a new US Army ad and became the target of criticism from veterans and lawmakers.

dunno about Russia winning with soldiers on the front riding motorcycles and civilian cars with bare rims taking Russian troops to battle. But sure, let’s throw away 200+ years of democracy to support historical losers. seems about right.

Komrade Trumpov is doing an excellent job on supporting his Kremlin friend... Never forget that the FSB have loads of dirt on Trump since the golden shower situation and he will do exactly what he is being told by his Russian handlers...

The USSR dissolved more than 30 years ago but still managed to turn the U.S. into a puppet state. Russia isn't winning against Ukraine but is against the USA. It has infiltrated the highest levels of the fed gov and is now dismantling, among other things, the entire national security apparatus.

I think that’s been Putin’s plan all along, and I think Trump owes Putin. See “Putin’s People How the KGB took back Russia and then took on the West” By Catherine Belton. Trump’s name is cited in the index at least 40 times!

Ukraine will win. They now make enough drones to stop all advances. They have more soldiers in the pipeline, and many will fly drones. FAB's and Shahed drones are the only things Ukraine can't stop, but they will deal with the source once those drones are ready.

Isn't it amazing too? Essentially they're stopping the same tactics and some of nearly the same equipment that drove the Nazis back out of Russia. Wave after wave and it's hard to get ones head around this in this day and time. Have not heard anything about a N. Korean in weeks.

Adam, there was never EVER any 'Russia-backed separatists' anywhere in Ukraine. The forces you seem to be referring to were 99% regular Russia Army units: armed, paid, fed semi-officially by RU govt.; led 100% by RU Army officers; just with different insignia and recruitment procedures.

Agree they should get everything back but they wont. Id suggest giving putin donetsk and luhansk. Only two oblasts with majority russian speakers. No land bridge to crimea, no mariopol. Also unfettered access through the kerch straight. Pardon my spelling

Thanks for sharing this important information! Ukraine needs protection from Putin and Trump! They gave up their nuclear weapons and were told they will protected! I have a hard time believing Trump and Putin will protect Ukraine!

We now have Mafia Don looking to run a protection racket for Ukraine's minerals vs. the US Marshall Plan after WWII that rebuilt Europe. Where's the fucking outrage? Our media is failing us. Our schools are failing us. I'm saddened for our country.

Can someone seriously tell me how Ukraine is supposed to get all of its territory back without further years of war? I don't understand posts like this where people are adamant that Ukraine can get its territory back. They tried and failed multiple times already.

They tried and failed as you say cause their allies never went all in. Scholz didn't have the nerve to deliver Taurus missiles (range 500Km) without US's clearence; US's Atacms (range 300Km) came late and in low numbers, late also came the F-16s... Russia had loads of time to dig in defensive layers

I love Obama but he should have pushed back hard when they annexed Crimea. Putin, being a bully, would have backed down like all bullies.

I am so disappointed in elected Democrats for keeping quiet and not coming out forcefully to oppose the thugery and extortion that Trump is dishing out to Ukraine for their mineral resources. It is pure banditry and disgraceful. This man must not be allowed to bring the U.S. to this shameful level.

Trump is setting himself up for a shit ton of ridicule for posting this self-love of himself. All of his midnight rendezvous in posts about himself and for himself shows the world that his mental disabilities will also be on full display when he finally implodes within himself.

Without saying I believe trump looks at Russia as a way to literally drown the United States in oil and maybe NG. How many times has Donold said he wants to crash the price of energy. He just has to get the pesky war stopped and the oil flowing. Vlad is the new Saudi Arabia and can open the valves.

The way trump and Vlad look at it, if you're going to do someone might as well get em from both ends. We have to get our head around the fact that trump has mind melted with Vlad Putin. They think alike and trump is bringing, or will bring, Vlad U.S. investment cash in the trillions. Watch.

If this U.S.-Ukraine minerals agreement is structured as an executive agreement, MOU, or bilateral investment agreement, it can be revised, renegotiated, or even terminated by future administrations without needing congressional approval. #Ukraine

Western media have been relentlessly predicting the imminent collapse of Ukraine for a full year now. Doom sells. It's also entirely irresponsible, dangerous, and creates a grossly inaccurate picture of what's actually going on.

And now the Russians have the temerity to try and sell Trump the stolen minerals from Eastern Ukraine. I feel like I’m watching a B&W documentary film about Hitler.

Both the Biden administration and the EU could be accused of being overly wary of Putin in the early years of the war. But the Ukrainians have fought the Russians tooth and nail - a testament to their courage. Europe need to step in and do what Trump and the rest of his vatnik cronies won't do.

Ukraine has changed the face of conventional warfare in the last couple of years. They are tactically eliminating armored vehicles and vast numbers of personnel with inexpensive drones, saving expensive artillery for strategic actions. With time and support, they can win.

Russia is an inferior nation run by a simple man who needs an entire slave continent to make people think he’s strong. And he’s failing at his attempt to get it even with all he did to us with his people’s dying breaths. Slava Ukraini! Let’s end this shit on all fronts, America. Especially home.

Still stuns me how quickly people lost sight of the fact that an army which was regarded as #2 or 3 globally is still bogged down in a fight that everyone thought was only going to last weeks. Feels like the bar for what looks like a Russian victory was seriously lowered while no one was looking.

I mean, it's a slow slog, but they are. They hold land that isn't theirs and Ukraine hasn't been able to push them out in all this time. Imagine if parts of America were invaded and it took us 10 years to lose more land. Is America winning? We need more aid to Ukraine, like, yesterday.
