I mean... Biden said it too. But he's senile so who knows.Sure. Has to be true since Russia said so.

He also doesn't seem to care that they were using cluster bombs.... It's wild how he loves to call Russian war criminals for using them but it's all good when we give them to Ukr to use. His hypocrisy is next level insane.That wasn't the point of the tweet, nor why I posted it.
Yep. Ukr had over 35 million people in 2014. It's reported that only about 20 million still remain in Ukr.They'd already left or were/are rich and connected, but still. Given that their average aged infantryman is 40-something, I'm sure they're gonna win that war of attrition you're salivating for.
You realize that downs video was confirmed to be of Russian origin, right? I thought truth was the first casualty?They'd already left or were/are rich and connected, but still. Given that their average aged infantryman is 40-something, I'm sure they're gonna win that war of attrition you're salivating for.
"confirmed"... LOL. It's amazing that everything bad about Ukr is Russian disinfo. You never did say if you believed that Putin has a pee tape of Trump or that Russia faked the Hunter laptop???? Was our intel 100% on those?You realize that downs video was confirmed to be of Russian origin, right? I thought truth was the first casualty?
Isn't it amazing everything confirmed bad about Russia is ''CIA'' disinfo?"confirmed"... LOL. It's amazing that everything bad about Ukr is Russian disinfo. You never did say if you believed that Putin has a pee tape of Trump or that Russia faked the Hunter laptop???? Was our intel 100% on those?
Did we ever find "weapons of mass destruction" in Iraq? Have you ever wondered why ISIS was defeated so fast when Trump was elected when it kept growing exponentially when Obama was in office? Do you ever even think about stuff like that?Isn't it amazing everything confirmed bad about Russia is ''CIA'' disinfo?

Propaganda disinformation about the recruitment of people with Down syndrome in Ukraine - SEE Check
Original article (in BCS) was published on 19/01/2024; Author: Alena Beširević Claims that Ukraine is recruiting people with Down syndrome due to a lack of new soldiers come from pro-Russian sources and, apart from a video of questionable authenticity, there is no evidence to support such...seecheck.org
Yes. And because those things happened. It must mean that everything after it, is the same no matter what.Did we ever find "weapons of mass destruction" in Iraq? Have you ever wondered why ISIS was defeated so fast when Trump was elected when it kept growing exponentially when Obama was in office? Do you ever even think about stuff like that?

Be smarter.
The tweet is stupid too. Ukraine has just started drafting.Tha'ts not the point of that tweet, either.
Nor why I posted it.
The tweet is stupid too. Ukraine has just started drafting.
I'm sure they will eventually.You act like I should be surprised at their propaganda. I'm not.
It's not stupid. Those "men" should be fighting for theircountryyou, not enjoying a football match.
“I support individual battalions in Ukraine with donations every month – this is my duty,” said Anton, who works as a waiter.I'm sure they will eventually.
So you found one quote from a guy?“I support individual battalions in Ukraine with donations every month – this is my duty,” said Anton, who works as a waiter.
“But I don’t want to fight, as I don’t trust our government. They don’t care about people. And they don’t care if there’s a war going on, they're corrupt and keep stealing the money that we pay for the army. Why go to war for a state who only wants to steal?” he said bitterly.
So you found one quote from a guy?
I can play this game.
"I'm not a natural-born killer, and I never dreamed to be that type of guy," said Omelyan, who served as Ukraine's infrastructure minister from 2016 to 2019. But he says he sees enlisting as a way to protect his family. And he's confident in the war's outcome.
"We will win," he told NPR.
"Ukraine will not kneel," one prospective enlistee told Beardsley. "We will push these bastards from our land."
"If I have to, then I will. Of course, I mean, I've never held in my arms a gun, for example. I don't know how to shoot it. I don't know how to use it. But if I get drafted, then I'll be OK with it. And I'll go fight," he said.
''Needlessly'' huh?I didn't find it, no. It's not like I went searching it out.
I know there are people willing to go die too. That's a point a made to you people 2 years ago; they're willing to sacrifice their men needlessly and endlessly. It's in their DNA.
''Needlessly'' huh?
Dying protecting your family, home, and land is not in vain.If they lose the southeast, then it will have been all in vain.
Dying protecting your family, home, and land is not in vain.
The people who surrendered to the Taliban are still in charge. I'm not sure you appreciate how inept our leadership is. It's one thing to talk tough on the internet but people are going to be in harms way and most of the kids in our country will wave Palestinian flags and burn US flags. We need to take care of our country for a while and heal some stuff.
They'd already left or were/are rich and connected, but still. Given that their average aged infantryman is 40-something, I'm sure they're gonna win that war of attrition you're salivating for.
Your first point rings true for sure, but I am not sure how competent they are at other points in time either and also we are still top dogs so it stands to reason that we are still less incompetent than everybody else. The second point, people are already in harms way. Letting Putin roll only spares his side losses as the Ukrainians will fight to the end from all reports and personal connections as well. For every liberal whacko there's a kid coming out of Parris Island that's full of piss and vinegar. I like the sentiment of take care of the country and heal some stuff, but I think keeping us on top of the global stage is how we do that. I think supporting Ukraine keeps our boots off the ground in a way that not supporting them leads us to.The people who surrendered to the Taliban are still in charge. I'm not sure you appreciate how inept our leadership is. It's one thing to talk tough on the internet but people are going to be in harms way and most of the kids in our country will wave Palestinian flags and burn US flags.

Defending your home is never wrong.I don't disagree. But...
That's another straw man.
Defending your home is never wrong.

Sure it is, when it absolutely didn't have to be & when outside powers set this in motion with zero regard for the consequences.
In May 2022, Sachs said that the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 would be hard to beat and that Finland's moves to join NATO would undermine a negotiated peace: "All of this talk of defeating Russia, to my mind, is reckless."[69] In June 2022, he co-signed an open letter calling for a "ceasefire" in the war, questioning Western countries' continuing military support for Ukraine.[70]
In 2022, he appeared twice on one of the top-rated shows funded by the Russian government, hosted by Vladimir Solovyov, to call for Ukraine to negotiate and step away from its "maximalist demands" of removing Russia from Ukrainian territory.[71]
Sachs has suggested that the U.S. was responsible for the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipeline. In February 2023, he was invited by the Russian government to address the United Nations Security Council about the topic.[72][26]

Just engineers, for now. Not sure if they will defect immediately or not, but things are about to get real interesting.

NYT confirms war-ending Russian-Ukraine peace agreement sabotaged by West
By Gregory Clark

“We were very close in mid-April 2022 to finalising the war with a peace settlement,” one of the Ukrainian negotiators, Oleksandr Chalyi, stated at a public appearance a year later.
According to another negotiator speaking at the time “Putin and Zelenskiy surprised everyone with their mutual willingness to consider far-reaching concessions to end the war.”
Sadly, that end was not to be. According to Chalyi “instead of embracing the Istanbul Communiqué and the subsequent diplomatic process, the West ramped up military aid to Kyiv and increased the pressure on Russia, including through an ever-tightening sanctions regime.”
The perennially Russophobic United Kingdom took the lead with Boris Johnson arriving in Kyiv on April 9, even before the draft treaty was to be finalised. He reportedly told Zelenskiy that any deal, “would be some victory for [Putin]: if you give him anything, he’ll just keep it, bank it, and then prepare for his next assault.”
Ukraine’s top negotiator in Istanbul, David Arakhamia, has stated that Johnson traveled to Kiev specifically to persuade Vladimir Zelensky to withdraw from the talks.
Kiev was also under pressure from the US, which had long been doubtful about the talks and the guarantees it was supposed to provide.
Oh what's this
