It is true, Putin tried not to reveal invasion intention. His captured young soldiers have admitted on vidio on how their were involved. [I think I posted yesterday[

This one of my Facebook Ukrainian friends post both impressive & heartbreaking:

Юрій Бутусов ·

“The feat of the 91st Regiment of Operational Security.
This very engineer regiment (Commander - Colonel Denis Wildy) was one of the first to fight with the Russian occupants.
The Okhtyka was one of the destinations of the breakthrough Russian armored parts, and the enemy had a great advantage over the engineering unit, but our soldiers did not run or hide, and immediately fought the aggressor with all possible strength.
February 27 rzl ченčení losses Russians carried a bomb blow on the base of the regiment and the center of Okhtirka. The regiment suffered heavy losses, but became one of those who tore down Putin’s blitzkrig.
And during these hours of resistance, volunteers and squads of the Territorial Defense of Okhtirka entered the battle, the Russians could not capture the city.”

We had adopted 2 sibling groups [11 children] from Russia. They are all young adults now. This daughter stayed connected to Russia & said her friends are using their cell phones to tape protests etc. I will pass them if I receive any if anyone is interested..

My daughter sent me this link she found that may be of interest. I have not yet previewed. But, check out his YouTube page.

-I did hear President Volodymyr Zelensky has signed an application for Ukraine’s accession to the European Union!

-Prayer Request Time to pray hard 🙏
Kyiv, Brovary, Nikolaev, Odessa, Kherson, Kharkiv and many other cities are HEAVILY BOMBED NOW ❗❗❗
Putin is going insane and goes cruel on us, revenging for negotiations and his failures.
🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦 🙏🙏🙏

Also, that people in Kyiv 9 hrs ago being strongly bombed.
In Brovari aren’t responding. It is believed Russians blocking internet.

For the past few years, the MSM has been all anti Russia, all the time. Especially since Putin is all pro Russia, pro Country, anti anything homo/abortion. Nothing about China. Even the Pandemic/scamdemic news doesn’t blame China. Russia supposedly (hoax) worked with President Trump to win him the 2016 election.

Freepers really wonder why some of us question this current anti Russia/pro Ukranian news?

Our borders are wide open. Doesn’t surprise me that a Country wants to protect their own borders for whatever reason.

This same US media and US government has pretty much told me that I’m deplorable, racist, unwanted and a terrorist yet I’m still expected to support whatever narrative they decided on when it comes to this Ukranian/Russian war?

I’m unpatriotic now if I don’t side with the Ukraine?

WTFever.

Russia is still a communist dictatorship.

And this post is just another reason why I don’t care what happens in Ukraine/Russia. I’m more concerned by the open border right here and the globalists controlling our government. The illegitimate President of the United States. Anything he and the media and our current congress say means absolutely nothing.

Does any war have moral standing? Was it moral for us to invade Iraq? Why exactly DID we invade Iraq? There were no WMDs/we were sold lies. We toppled a government we had no business getting involved in other than...I can’t even say it since I voted for him twice!
And to say, imply, that this is the same as siding with Hitler? LMAO. Ok then.

What is the US?

Lockdowns, mandates, political prisoners still held without trial, wide open borders, no free speech for anyone who goes against the current government/msm narrative. How are we any different than what we’ve fought against?

What are you jabbering about with your us of multiple punctuation marks like a 12-year old?

I’ve made numerous comments.

My take:
This war is a war between two factions of the left: a nationalist, neo-Stalinist state (Russia), and a transnational corporatist progressive superstate (US/NATO). Ukraine is in the middle.
Which of these left factions is worse?

Twenty years ago, I would have unequivocally have said Russia. But after having heard endless lies from our “intelligence agencies”, and having watched them manufacture evidence to try to remove Trump from office twice and finally oust him by throwing an election, I’m not sure.

I detest both of these left factions.

Putin has no moral, legal or intellectual justification to invade because he dislikes their foreign policy.

You need to open your eyes.   Do you even think about the things you type?

We invaded or occupied Grenada, Panama, Dominican Republic (more then once), we sent troops to Lebanon (more then once).   We invaded Kuwait to kick-out Iraq.

You know about Korea, Viet Nam, Iraq and Afghanistan.   It is worth mentioning the Philippine Insurrection, the "Punitive Expedition in Mexico with the six month occupation of Veracruz, Mexico and the almost one year U. S. Army operations in Mexico, The Spanish American War when we falsely blamed Spain for an explosion in the USS Maine, and don't forget we bombed all heck out of Libya.   I remember our troops went into Somalia, Mogadishu and Haiti.   Lots more earlier than these when our country was still young.

I'm not saying any of that was wrong, just that your argument that "Putin has no moral, legal or intellectual justification to invade because he dislikes their foreign policy" is crazy.

Oh, and your example of what we wouldn't about Cuba?

Despite not liking the situation the US has no legal, moral or intellectual grounds to invade Cuba

You should remember the failed Bay of Pigs invasion into Cuba was our expedition authorized and approved by President Kennedy and planned, funded, staffed, and trained by the CIA.

I remember the 80s well, although I was a teenager then, I was politically conscious.

Times have changed. Russians did gain significant freedom from the time the USSR collapsed, although it’s still not a free economy.

The US, on the other hand, is much less free than it was then. Sadly, this was by design.

Our intelligence agencies have gone from supporting freedom (although the CIA was always full of socialists like Herbert Marcuse) to being hostile to freedom. They did what they could, twice, to remove Trump from office, and finally succeeded in the 2020 election.

Some conservatives think that the US is the same country that it was 40 years ago, that we just have the wrong people in charge. It isn’t- there has been a slow-motion, successful revolution to transform it into something hostile to liberty.

There are still benefits to living here, but they’re economic (job, property) and personal (proximity of family, schools, friends, etc.). It might not be possible to leave, but there are other countries that are more free.

I’m not against the West or Western values, and definitely Chronicles magazine is about as pro-Western as a media outlet can get. But our culture and mainstream media are now against Western values, and they’re the ones relentlessly pushing the CIA’s neocon Russia/Ukraine propaganda.

When it comes to propaganda, I avoid it, just as I eschew junk food.

Glad to hear your such a purest. You didn’t live through the first Cold War …. Showed us what communist states are really like

I point to places like Venezuela and 1930s Germany to suggest people are quite capable of voting them selves out of freedom

Don’t return incumbent politicians. Even the bureaucracy needs a shake up now and again to clean house

And NYC, San Francisco, Chicago....

Having law & order and having your property protected is one of the basic functions of legitimate government.

These cities are deliberately NOT doing this basic function, while releasing criminals without bail, providing sanctuary for illegals, and maintaining massive welfare systems.

If the founding fathers saw how these cities are managed today, they’d be writing another Declaration of Independence, not just “cleaning house” in an election.

I advocate for hurting our existential enemies at the lowest cost in blood and treasure.

Some people around here aren’t so much ‘conservatives’ as they love strongmen and Nationalism, it seems.

Good Russky= dead Russky.
