Putin has been meddling in Ukraine since he occupied the Kremlin in 2000. Long before “Obama/Soros”, obviously.

Misery loves company. This says more about the dollar than than the ruble. There is global inflation crisis right now.

Gasoline costs half in Russia compared to the USA. The Russian economy is doing just fine… we should be so lucky.

Neo-liberal projection.


Historical projection. Russians have been committing genocide against their smaller neighbors for hundreds of years. Everything we see in Ukraine has been done elsewhere by the Kremlin. Mass murder, mass destruction, deportation, Russification, etc. All of it. It’s all there. Open a history book and read it.

Maybe the sanctions are having some impact?

At least you admit that Ukraine has been an Obama/Soros satrapy since 2014. I’m surprised, assuming that you are a fiscal conservative, that you think it’s worth 600 million American tax dollars per day to keep the Obama/Soros satrapy operating and laundering those billions back to the leaders of the Obama/Soros satrapy.

I admitted no such thing. Why are you disenfranchising 45 million Ukrainians exactly in the manner Democrats try to do to conservatives? Pot. Meet Kettle.

Get real. Obama/Soros has disenfranchised every Ukrainian except their corrupt oligarch partners in every election since 2014. What Uke voted for the national prosecutor Biden bought for $1B American tax dollars.

Open a history book and read it.

What deceitful neo-liberals never mention is that most of the terrible things you mention happened during the Soviet era, and Ukraine was a prominent founding member of the USSR. Joe Stalin was a Georgian and there were plenty Polish Bolsheviks as well.

Its also interesting that the borders of modern day Ukraine that you are so ready to fight for were actually carved out of Russia and other countries by the same Soviet regime you claim to adamantly despise. Which is it?

You delegitimize the Ukrainian people and their nation in quite a vicious way. Shall we just shove Ukrainians in ovens and be done with it then? Or is their slavery, again, in the filthy Russian World preferred?

Obama gave Crimea to Putin. Told Ukrainians not to fight for it. So you are correct that Obama did disenfranchise them.

I’m glad you are admitting that Obama’s satrapy was so pliable in his hands. When Obama, Inc. was selling Uke national prosecutors, how much of that billion was funneled back to DC? Why on earth are you in favor of spending 600 million US taxpayer dollars a day to protect such outrageous corruption of a sovereign nation by the globalist DC oligarchs?

AFU Struggles For Symbolic Meaning In Late Summer Doldrums

Interestingly, assistant to DPR head Yan Gagin echoed this view:

What he says is very interesting. That Russia is ready for a major offensive operations but right now, it continues to conduct defense simply because it’s very profitable at the moment to do so. The reasoning he gives is strong: Ukraine is so desperate to achieve any kind of visible breakthrough that they pour their forces forward in completely unfavorable conditions which allow Russia to decimate them. Thus, he seems to imply that for the time being, as long as the AFU continues their ‘meat-assaults’ Russia will happily go on liquidating them out in the open where it’s quite easy and profitable to do so. Then when the time comes, they’ll launch an offensive.
