"Putin spokesman admits "significant losses"
NB: Not the Daily Mirror
So invading a country and leveling whole towns with people running for their lives is not a crime? I know. Iraq was a mess too.
That can’t be true, oh wait the Russians said it? Soros must have Putin as well as Ukraine.
Is Hungary next?
What makes you think he did?
Oh well...
“Putin spokesman admits “significant losses” of Russian troops”
What a loser!!! We managed to bring Serbia to its knees in 1999 without losing one person!!!
(I won’t mention that all we there was bomb civilians targets there for 78 days, since it was impossible to identify military targets from 30,000+ feet)
Putin’s cultists are out today with their new talking points lol. They just talk amongst themselves.
I guess it's easier to make an understatement when it's not your son or daughter who's among the dead.
Well that was different. Mass graves, doncha know.
Yea, stupid of Putin. Sends in ground troops when he simply could have done what we did in Serbia. What an IDIOT!
I’ve always thought that “war crimes” was oxymoronical. War is about killing people and destroying property, which, in a civil society, is criminal in and of itself. The idea that there are “laws” governing the tactics and methods used to kill as many as you can and destroy as much as you can to defeat an apposing force has always puzzled me. Atrocities and unnecessary death and destruction? Sure. But, normally, all killing and destruction that is “ordered” is done so in a strategic fashion with an efficient intent to win a war. Sometimes, as in WWII, carpet bombing is as strategic as it is demoralizing. And demoralization of an enemy population is a strategic approach. After a war ends, the victor gets to decide the fate of certain military and political leaders through “prosecution of war crimes”. But isn’t all “war” criminal in one sense or another? I do get that individuals that torture civilians for fun should be demonized and prosecuted. It’s in humane and we prosecute people that abuse dogs.
But announcing that a nations leader is guilty of “war crimes” for starting a war? The aggression and war itself should be derided as criminal and the leader should immediately be targeted for arrest and/or execution.
The REAL issue is, who is guilty of starting a way and is the aggression justified? THAT’s the distinguishing factor. And often times, right or wrong, that is decided by the victor.
In my opinion, war has almost become too sanitary and humane. War should be so evil and awful that NO NATION EVER wants to fight a war. So horrible that it is avoided at all costs. But here we are, in the midst of existence as part of an imperfect race of beings in the dawn of our existence. As has been said, as a nation, be the most ready for war so that you never have to fight it.

That was FAR too thoughtful for a Ukraine thread!
Hmm. Good point.
The media is lying! Ukraine is losing. It's all propaganda. We should hate Putin, even though he's kind of justified because Nazi's... and Putin is evil.....
Better? LOL
Putin’s problem is that there are very few reachable military installations to target. Putin waged this was to take over territory. There are mostly only civilians to fight in the territory. What does a tyrant have to do to look good while terrorizing a population?
Biden boot licker, NWO stooge, Russia hating globalist retard! Oh, wait….
Obama “won” a Nobel Prize (including a million dollars), yet bombed more countries than any other President!
