Pretty tough talk. I'm sure NATO will have your back.

Ukrainians right now are fighting the Russkies without NATO help and are stacking the enemy’s stinking corpses in mighty large piles. If this were your standard European country, they would have surrendered within the first few days of the “separatist” invasion.

The Ukrainians are strong and worthy, and that’s why Patriots of all countries should be backing them up. But, alas, we have Obama, and he’s no patriot.

Yeah what babies the Ukrainians are. It's not like there's some jackass neighbor invading their country.

No, they are hoping everyone else is ready for total war with Russia. They most certainly are not ready. I’ll bet they can’t even repay the loans Russia gave them.

Goebbels said he was ready for “Totaler Krieg” as well. Well he got it, in spades.

Your point is right on target.

NATO will do nothing

Ukraine has little choice but to talk big, it’s all they have.

They know the Evil Empire 2.0 is ready to pounce again.

Why should they pay loans the Russian “gave” them when they had a puppet government looting them?

I would add that the Russians have looted Crimea, Donetsk and Luhansk.

Somehow the Putin boot lickers always conveniently forget this point.

Ukraine: 1,154 dead
Rebels: 1,044 dead

Professional army has taken more deaths than ragtag rebels.

Correction: The Ukraine Army death toll currently sits somewhere between 1,152 and 2,085. I gave the minimum number.

Where is your source for these numbers? Nobody knows, furthermore, how many Russian soldiers have been killed since the Russkies actively cover up their presence, but groups in Russia estimate 400 or up to a thousand.

And these are not "rag tag" rebels by the way. Most are imported from Russia and have military experience on top of the Russian professional soldiers sent to back them up, which Russia calls "volunteers".

The Russian mothers group estimates about 4,000 Russian citizen soldiers in Ukraine have been killed.

bump

Their puppet government not only took apart their military and looted their economy since the fall of the USSR but the Russians now pretend that it was the present government that mismanaged things.

Another huge joke

I have heard. That group has also been declared a foreign agency by Putin. Which sounds like a threat to me.
