This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

[hydro2.0]

Nope. Never been there. I'm telling you there is corruption in every government. Most of the U.S. funds are spent on U.S. companies supplying them weapons.

Your argument is week. Go back to Russia.

Didn’t you go on a drunken rant about how you were going to go fight in Ukraine?

 

[GES4]

You been there? You don't know what you are talking about. That is the single reason why Ukraine is not in NATO or EU.

Leaked U.S. strategy on Ukraine sees corruption as the real threat

A report obtained by POLITICO details specific plans to reform Ukrainian institutions and warns Western support may hinge on cutting corruption.

www.politico.com

I've been there twice. Never witnessed any corruption as a tourist. Also been to Russia and China a few times. Saw corruption firsthand in those places, from the subway police, to airport security, to taxicabs.

Do you even know the history of tmTransnitria? Had you heard of it before the war? Do you know how close it is to Odesa and how many Russian troops are there? What is the GDP compared to Ukraine to Russia to US? What language is spoken in Moldova and Transnitria?

How close is Moldova to the Balkan countries and what are the religiions? Which countries did NATO support in the 90s? What happened there? How does that impact Ukraine and Russia? Who was Stephan Bandera? Who didbtgevSoviets fight in Ukraine in the 50s. Who did US troops fight in Normandy? Why where they there? What happened at v Babyn Yar? Or Khoral at the soccer field or Kremenchuk?

Is it Kyiv or Kiev? Why is that important? What how do I spell the Ukrainian capital. How isbit said in Ukrainian. You likely dont know mostnl of that How do Ukrainians feel when Americans call Ukraine, the Ukraine? Why us that?

LMAO. A Bandera reference almost always means a Russian sympathizer is at work.

"Ukrainian special forces instructed HIMARS to destroy a Russian Palatin electronic warfare complex in the direction of Zaporizhia. "



FWIW

FWIW-just seems strange to me.

I have never visited or lived there so I have no first-hand knowledge of how exstensive the corruption is. No matter the level of corruption, Ukraine did not deserve to be invaded and suffer the death and destruction it has endured. I still firmly believe Ukraine deserves our support and that it is in our best interest to do so. What is your opinion?

In our best interest it is irrelevant. Outside of nukes Russia is a poor backwards nation and not a huge threat to us or most of Europe unless they team with China.

My work in Ukraine was a lot thru US AID. That funding stopped and went to Africa. Then I worked teaching US business models to universities and lining up business development which was difficult due to massive corruption and theft at all levels. US AID was kicked out of Russia when Putin gained power. When P3ace Corp pulled out of Ukraine just prior to Maidan rampingbup stronger I knew something was going on.

Lviv, Kyiv, and Pripyat

Apparently, you don't know much of the history, Komrade...

That has nothing to do with my question. So you are a Biden bot or you don't know the answer.

 

[IIowaFarmBoy]

Again a Biden Bot. One really should learn the actual history.

 

[IIowaFarmBoy]

Lviv, Kyiv, and Pripyat

Lviv and Kyiv show well with lot's of history. Did you go to Babyn Yar? Nothing east of Kyiv?

"The U.S. Air Force’s F-35A Lightning II stealth fighters are now certified for delivery of B61-12 nuclear gravity bombs—and, in fact, have been since October 12, 2023.

This bombshell—dropped by F-35’s Joint Program Office (JPO)—was reported by Breaking Defense Friday morning. JPO spokesman Russ Goemaere stated that the certification had actually been awarded months earlier and far ahead of schedule.

This means that F-35As will now be considered “dual-capable” platforms useable in both conventional and nuclear warfare—in the latter role carrying up to two B61-12s internally and using its suite of ground-scanning sensors and datalinks to target the bomb more precisely than other B61-delivering aircraft."

Trump is "normalizing" this stance among regular members of the GOP now.

Agree about Trump, but you can't support Biden and want an end to this madness.

The AP continues to do excellent reporting on the war. This is an in depth piece about the battle for Avdiivka. Lack of ammunition, lack of fresh troops leading to physical and mental strain, the use of glide bombs by Russia, and the willingness to waste 1000 men a day by the Russians led to the Ukrainian defeat

Exhaustion, dwindling reserves and a commander who disappeared: How Ukraine lost Avdiivka to Russia

The loss of the city of Avdiivka last month marked the end of a long, exhausting defense for the Ukrainian military.

apnews.com

That basically sums it up. Even with more weapons Ukraine is running out of men. Do you want a son fighting in Ukraine?

 

[GOHOX69]

Does this make you happy?

Yup. Gives me a boner. I love America. You don't.

That has nothing to do with my question.

It "answers your question" in spades, Komrade.

Acknowledging Ukraine and Kyiv existed LONG before Moscow leaves a mark, don't it?

 

[Joes Place]

Agree about Trump, but you can't support Biden and want an end to this madness.

NATO resources taking out every rail line into Ukraine and Crimea would "end this madness" within a couple months.

If the USAF has a "Stealth Drone" capability, this is the time to use that MoFo to take out this last platform.

Good summary.



#RubleTPfx #UkraineRussiaWar #UkraineRussianWar #OrcLossRate

A safe bet - that Russian industrial production is not likely sustainable. Little tsar, besides expanding NATO, ending European dependency on Russian energy, wrecking the army, has masterfully harmed the Russian economy. A few facts below. And, as a bonus, Russian loss rates continue to accelerate

 

[Phenomenally Frantastic]

Sanctions are working. Barbaria has cut its oil production dramatically and has stopped exports of finished products because of shortages locally. Income has halved while spending has doubled, and all available levers to prop up ruble have been used. Putin is all in, no way out.

[Tiny Hands Trump]

The deal maker's idea to end the war is just what everyone said it would be. Give Putin everything he wants.
