Merkel’s confession regarding Minsk II says Germany is in large part to blame for the disaster that is taking place.
Most of the blame goes to the country that destroyed those pipelines that, so far, has yet to be named out loud. Eventually it will.
Are we still issuing M-16s warehoused from the Vietnam war to frontline troops?
Guns shoot bullets….
Basic design
——> It’s almost humorous.
The real entertainment is the Swooning Zeepers, breathlessly posting paid propaganda - and believing it.
Well said
VL…
Zeepers do not research.
Zeepers find liberal news outlets that publish propaganda that reinforces their prejudices.
I’ve come to accept their mass formation psychosis is incurable.
If they reside in Eastern Europe, multiply by 10x
And what exactly was our “pandemic” with jabs (and upcoming social credit score CBDC initiatives cum sovereignty capitulation to the WHO)?
Are we still issuing M-16s warehoused from the Vietnam war to frontline troops?
= = =
Don’t think so.
But we can send them to Ukraine to even the fight vs Kalashnikovs.
That’s funny.
“posting paid propaganda - and believing it.”
You said a couple months ago that: “Kherson isn’t a military offensive… it’s a suicide fundraiser.”

Were you the one swallowing propaganda back then?
long before “Minsk”, Russia was already going back on their word that they would respect the borders of their neighbors
Russia has a long history of lying ... and attacking & invading its neighbors
forewarned is fore-armed
You’re so full of crap you stink.
Putin and Zelensky finally agree. Here’s why that’s a bad thing.
“In 2019, Zelensky was elected in large part because his platform of making peace with Russia and signing the Minsk II Agreement won him the Russian-speaking vote in the south and east. But to fulfill his promise, Zelensky had to have the support of the U.S. He didn’t get it. Abandoned and under pressure, Zelensky refused to implement the agreement. The U.S. then failed to pressure him back onto the road of diplomacy.”
My husband has a Sharp’s rifle in .303 (yes, that’s right) and it can put metal on target just as well as my precision .308
Old rifles are no joke.
1. Absolutely a grifter fund raiser.
2. Russia withdrew.
I find that very disturbing--for Russia, because demographically, they are in tatters. On average, since the 1990s most Russians are having one kid per family. Lose one in war and that's it.
No parent wants to outlive their kids, especially if there is only one.
No, if I was a Russia who really cared about Russia, I'd try to conserve my troops lives by using more fire and air power--including tactical nukes.
Human wave combat is extremely costly to a nation/people unless you have a huge surplus of men. They don't.
Haha. So how you think the battle went was the Ukrainians launched a doomed suicide attack, but the Russian generals, the gentle souls that they are, decided to withdraw rather than hurting them?
You’re right. Due to the massive losses of men in WW II, Russia has seen a cycle in births reflecting those losses.
They’re in a down cycle now.
The accounts match many other sources and especially the historical tradition of the Red Army and Tsarist armies before it.
Putin attempted to reform the Red Army in the 2000s. Most of the money was stolen, and he was forced to sack the only Defense Minister serious about reform because it annoyed the corruptocrats Putin depended on for support.
As a consequence, Putin has had to abandon any thought of applying a modern maneuver warfare approach and has fallen back to using cannon fodder in a war of attrition. My impression is that the Army commanders are simply going through the motions of attacking, which is why Prigozhin's Wagner Group was sent to introduce some competition. The danger of course is that with multiple military and paramilitary groups operating, Putin's death (natural or otherwise) could set off a civil war in Russia.
Meanwhile, the Ukrainians have acquired the ability to conduct some maneuver warfare and are waiting for a hard freeze to attack again.
