“If only you showed this much drive and energy in protecting America and her rights and freedoms.”
How do you know that I am not actively involved in protecting America and her rights and freedoms?
Are you my Nigerian prince? Your command of the English language and your intellect is formidable!
You actively work against them, so I know you’re not helping America. You’re ok with your kids dying in Ukraine?
“Up to $500 billion of frozen Russian assets can be used to rebuild Ukraine”
Excellent idea & good prediction.
Putin, Oligarchs & RF should be held responsible for the Ukrainian expenditures and infrastructure destruction caused by inflicting this Russian invasion.
“You actively work against”
Wrong again!
Comme ci, comme ça.
I am totally indifferent to your assumptions & presumptuous.
Of course, you are entitled to your own viewpoint of course.

I am a Ukrainian. My country has been invaded by Russia. In this video I will tell you what happened on the four hundred and eighteenth day of the war.
Day 418: April 17
Last time I told you that Ukrainian forces took advantage of the decreased capabilities of some Russian formations and the ongoing changes inside others and conducted a series of successful counterattacks. I also told you Ukrainians recaptured an extraordinarily important strongpoint in the south that dispels all Russian hopes of quickly taking Avdiivka into a pocket.
The freshest reports suggest that Russians put enormous effort into trying to recapture what they lost. Due to the unfavorable terrain for Russians, pure infantry assaults, even with artillery support, are not even considered. That is why after intense shelling, Russian immediately started using tanks to push Ukrainians out of their positions. Due to the intense fire, Ukrainians stepped one tree line back in order to not lose their men, however, they still continued preventing Russians from establishing control over the empty position. Russian sources reported that the situation was very challenging for them because the moment Ukrainians noticed Russian armor in Vodiane, they immediately sent their own tank to meet the assault unit. Recent combat footage shows a tank duel along the tree line just 1.5 km north of Vodiane. The Ukrainian tank successfully destroyed the Russian tank, forcing the crew to abandon the vehicle and flee. Judging by the number of destroyed vehicles caught in the frame, Ukrainian tank operators destroyed at least 3 Russian assault units.
When it comes to the second of the two crucial strong points in front of Vodiane, here, Russians were less active because attacking it is even more difficult than the previous one. Russian forces still tried to conduct reconnaissance and establish positions in close proximity to Ukrainians, however, Ukrainians reconnaissance is also working nonstop and immediately coordinates with artillery to destroy the enemy on the approach.
One of the limiting factors for the Russians is that their positions in Vodiane and Opytne are closer to Ukrainian positions than to their own. Since the fighting is taking place in the fields, Russian supply lines to these two villages are under extensive fire control and often in direct view. Recent footage shows how Russian tried to reinforce Opytne with a tank, but this tank never reached the village because it got caught by Javelin. Because the previous batch of armor got destroyed in assaults around Opytne, Russian infantry here, for the most part, is just holding positions in the trenches. Ukrainian 53rd Mechanized Brigade showed a video that some Russian units simply do not withstand constant fire and, at some point just abandon their positions.
Ukrainian artillery is also targeting Russian equipment and ammunition in Donetsk. Donets is a huge city located right next to Avdiivka, so Russians are using a lot of buildings as storage. Recently, Russian sources even published footage of their equipment being sent from some warehouse inside the city to the front, so a successful identification and destruction of such warehouses can save many lives of the soldiers on the zero line.
But despite the best efforts of Ukrainian reconnaissance and artillery crews, Russians managed to accumulate forces to the north of Avdiivka for another wave of assaults. Ukrainian sources reported that over the last two days, Russians once again tried to establish control over Stepove. Unfortunately for Russians, because this was their second attempt and there was no element of surprise, this time, Russians did not even manage to cross the rails.
Today a soldier from the 10th Assault Brigade reported that today Russian attack finally ended with massive losses and a retreat. In order to decrease Russian morale even more, Ukrainian drone operators and artillery crews continued to chase Russians around the village of Krasnohorivka and also the surrounding trenches, in particular in front of the Terrikon.
The only place where Russians managed to advance over the last two weeks is in the area of Novobakhmutivka. Recent geolocated footage shows that the Ukrainian 36th Marine Brigade is trying to prevent Russians from crossing the highway. Since the Russians established positions near the destroyed bridge, for more precise fire, the marines also frequently deployed their tanks.
I’m not wrong, sorry to break it to you. You’re like the crack addict saying they’re not addicted to crack lol.
Good luck.
Sending your kids to die? Can’t answer that? Figured.
“I’m not wrong, sorry to break it to you.”
Silly, comment retort!
Exactly what do you presume to be breaking news?
As far as sending mine or other Americans to die is a huge assumption. However, my children support the U.S. military 200 %.

I would disagree. Those are obvious and existential enemies. I received a masters degree in history and initially intended an academic avocation- pay was the primary reason I no longer work in that field but politics were a close second. Academic institutions, the educational industry, those are clear enemies- people titularly on “our side” such as you Slava Ukraine propagandists, the same as most of the institutional GOP, are the near enemy- the real enemy, suborning good intentions and real efforts for reform. You lot are the cancer within.
I see no reason to be gracious to vicious regime propagandists such as yourself. You are a cancer upon the America First movement, but a credit to your regime paymasters. I find service to evil contemptible- I am sure you have an excellent rationale behind your “service” ($$$).
“I see no reason to be gracious”
Your comment is obvious! LOL
Most realize my motivation is to share truth regarding the Russian Invasion and has been since 2014.
Obviously, I receive no financial compensation.
The core of the ‘America First movement’ was nor is not now ideologically isolationist or anti-military.
“America needs a president who is a principled strategist first—one who does the right things for the right reasons—and does put America first. No president can succeed by dogmatically dealing with the world as he or she envisions it might be. The Commander in Chief and the National Security Council must deal with the world as it is.”
James Jay Carafano
A quote from a Heritage propagandist, LOL. Next time, why don’t you quote NRO? Lady, though you are devoted to your cause, that cause most certainly is not America. It might be the bastardized and corrupt criminal regime that is the contemporary USA, but it and along with the patriotism and nationalism of America is something you wear like a skin suit. It is beyond vulgar, and quite disgusting. You should be ashamed, but as with all of you lot, that is quite beyond your purview.
“though you are devoted to your cause, that cause most certainly is not America.”
Wrong again. You are so arrogant!
Your contemptuous comment “is beyond vulgar, and quite disgusting. You should be ashamed.”
I have no more time or need to justify what I symbolize or represent. Also, need to seek your approval.
Wishing you the best for continuing your intellectual quest for knowledge in your journey with rational, logical thinking.
The tide of corruption flows down from your universities, directly into the schools, and from there into everything. That is the reason all your institutions are corrupted, because their personnel have been corrupted.
Your upper class has developed a hatred for the American people and their historical heritage. And the hatred is returned, vigorously. This is culture, the worldview, not interests or politics.
That is why you have split into two peoples, ready to war with each other. Thats why your institutions are universally distrusted. That is why even obvious and necessary policies like supporting Ukraine, which would have been obvious and “conservative” in better times, have become political footballs, without regard to the actual issues, interests and principals (like the Ukrainians) in the conflict.
Politics, and policy, are downstream of culture.
The place to fix it is where it starts.
I still do my small bit, what Ive done for decades, financing Catholic parochial schools in the San Francisco archdiocese.
Thank you! I try.
I am no prince though. I have a fairly good claim to Spanish “hidalguia”, that is, a title of gentry (hidalgo), but that is not a rare thing among native Spaniards. It must be acted upon with, effectively, a lawsuit, to obtain a title. Given the lack of benefits of such titles these days (unless one aspires to join the Royal Guard), few bother anymore.

“Along with the return to dictatorial methods of government, another attribute of such a system returned to Russia - denunciations. Complaints against fellow citizens have become a truly mass phenomenon in the Russian Federation, and at once at all levels. So recently, three-time Olympic champion Elena Vyalbe called on to consider all Russian athletes as traitors who agree to oppose the war in Ukraine in order to participate in the Olympics.”

“Russia continues to blackmail the world with grain. In March 2023, Minister of Infrastructure of Ukraine Oleksandr Kubrakov said that the AGREEMENT on the operation of the grain corridor was extended for 120 days.
Despite this, the Russian side is trying various ways to block exports from the Black Sea ports.
Because of russia’s actions, the world has been short 10 million tons of Ukrainian grain in the last three months, and this trend is gaining momentum. How Kyiv manages to organize deliveries.
