I hope that you are correct. As to current developments, Ukraine is degrading the Russian grip on Crimea, while a fierce, hurricane like storm damaged Russian defensive trenches and emplacements on the beaches there. Meanwhile, despite the risks, there are rising protests by Russian women against the conscription of their men, while the Russian civilian economy is under severe stress.

How would you feel if your grandmother was exiled by Moscow and was buried in Siberia? Maybe a cousin who died there as a child, too? You probably have an old family scrap book with some photos of them and think about their stolen lives from time to time. This is real life for tens of millions in sovereign nations formerly occupied by Russian colonialists.

How would you feel if the invading Russian army arrived in your Ukrainian town, tore down the Ukrainian language signs, arrested and/or killed residents?

Ukrainian feel strongly enough about their history to fight and defend their land against an invading Russian army that brings only misery and death where it goes. That’s some every Americans conservative should understand, appreciate and support.

The ground certainly brought Prigozhin to a “standstill” when his body hit it at 100 miles an hour. When do you expect another coup in Russia? PSA: “Winning” nations don’t have coups.

How long ago was that?   Was it during the Soviet Union days?   The Ukrainians back then were also Soviets.

You singling out Russians nowadays for past grievances makes no sense.

Should I blame Washington for what happened to my ancestors during the War Between the States.   If you attempt to say it is nothing like what happened in the Ukraine, you are wrong.   It is exactly the same.   The Confederates formed a different Nation independent from the United States and were invaded.   Give up your lost cause fool.

If you claim that the Confederates held slaves, so it was right that the CSA was invaded and defeated.   Your Ukrainian Nazis persecuted the so called ethnic Russians just because they spelled words a little differently, so it was right they have been invaded and defeated.

We Americans are all the same just as the Russians and Ukrainians are all the same going back a thousand years.   I am an American who just happens to be from the Southern United States.   Wake up and face reality.

Russia, all by itself, has fought America, Canada, all of Europe, and NATO to a standstill and is now winning.

If fighting against the 0 American troops currently stationed in Ukraine counts as "winning against America", then by that logic I have "won" against the temptation to drink the whiskey that isn't in my house.

How long do you think Americans would put up with high casualties fighting the Russians in Ukraine? Do you think Americans want 100,000 KIA on the Eurasian Steppe fighting a Slavic civil war? It might start a second civil war here.

Your hypothetical situation a) is not going to happen, regardless of who wins in 2024 and b) in no way detracts from the hilarity of your definition of “winning”.

Keep it up, Redneck! Best laugh I’ve had all day.

“ there is no way these numbers are accurate

for example, during WW1, france suffered 4 mil casualties in four years of intense trench combat including Verdun.”
*************************************************************

In WW1, Germany didn’t have satellite imagery, drones, rockets, aircraft launched 1,500 kg smart bombs, etc., etc. Today’s meat-grinders put WW1’s grinders to shame.

I don’t believe 1.1 million killed. That means 3+ million casualties.

I can believe 1.1 million Ukrainian casualties, and 300,000 dead.

Quite correct… Gateway Pundit mischaracterized the Ukrainian television report. Their casualties report totals included wounded in addition to the KIAs and missing.

After two years of war, the trained, professional military of Ukraine has been decimated. The average age of today’s soldier is 42. Ukraine is now talking general mobilization of up to age 70 and women.

7 to 10 million Ukrainians are refugees abroad. Many young men have fled the country. The economy is in shambles. US/NATO are paying the salaries of the entire Ukrainian government including pensions. Zelensky estimates that they will need $800 billion to rebuild the country, which was one of the poorest and most corrupt countries before the second Russian invasion in 2022. This war has been going on since 2014.

Support for this war is declining precipitously in Europe and the US. And the Biden regime is seeking an exit before the 2024 election. Everyone knows that Ukraine lacks the ability to retake Crimea and most of the Donbas. The dream of NATO membership is dead.

This war could have been avoided. The same team that engineered the overthrow of the duly elected government of Ukraine in 2014 spawning the separatist movement in the Donbas and triggering the first unopposed Russian invasion that led to the annexation of Crimea are back running this debacle. How can anyone trust a compromised Biden and his fools and knaves like Blinken, Nuland, Sullivan, Powers, and Austin to make the right decisions on Ukraine? Anyone remember the exit from Afghanistan?

The US is broke. We have $2 trillion budget deficits and annual debt servicing costs of a trillion dollars, which is larger than DOD’s budget. Debt servicing costs now consume 40% of the annual revenue collected thru income taxes. We can’t afford these endless wars that don’t involve the strategic national interests of the US.

In the meantime over 8 million illegal aliens have poured thru our southern border since Biden was elected with no end in sight. They represent the real threat to American National security. 100,000 Americans are dying from drugs annually. Our cities are being overrun by criminals. Yet we spend close to $200 billion to defend the sovereignty of Ukraine in a war that has been ongoing for almost a decade. Where is the concern for our citizens? Who is really profiting from this war? If we really cared about the Ukrainian people, we would end this proxy war.
