The Korean War ended up in a stalemate. We might see the same thing here. Putin will call for another mobilization if he needs more troops to fortify the front in Ukraine.

For the Ukrainian Partisans, Neocons and Democrats:

Who you gonna believe? Your local Free Republic Realists, or CJCS Mark Milley, Victoria Nuland and Anthony Blinken?

American politicians pissing off the world one grieving mother at a time. This is a dumb way to kill all the Ukrainians.

I think it’ll be negotiating table once Russia finds the right building that houses incriminating info on our own warlords here in the US.

How much faith in Christ does Zelensky have? The Ukrainian Rainbow Unicorn Brigade. (OK, I’ll concede that the Ukes do have Nazis.) And on the other side you have a country that expels missionaries and makes life difficult for Christians that don’t follow the approved religious body.

I’ve still got my money down on Putin and his buddy Yevgeny Prigozhin. Not so sure about Gen. Surovikin’s long term help.

My money has been on Russia’s General Patience and Colonel Resolve. They beat hands down the West’s best Generals, General Desperate and Colonel Confusion.

Short of giving them nukes (if they even still work), Ukraine has pretty much CLEANED OUT NATO of ground weapons, so he might want to get on the phone with China at this point.

“Elsewhere in the country, Volodymyr Zelensky, the Ukrainian president, ordered top military commanders to strengthen Ukraine’s northern border following the arrival in Belarus of Yevgeny Prigozhin, the mercenary leader who had led a brief mutiny in Russia.”

I guess we need to send some lawyers. We already sent all the others.

“On the southern front, Russia used an Iskander ballistic missile to attack a bridgehead established by Ukrainian troops on the south side of the Dnipro river, the Russian-installed governor of Kherson said.

Drone footage of the strike shared on social media showed a large explosion at the foot of the Antonov, with the governor claiming that as many as 30 Ukrainian soldiers had been killed in the blast.”

The bridgehead in Kherson is kaput.

And Russia is conducting offensive operations on four fronts.

Funny thing but for all your noise it’s the Ukrainians who are on the offensive.

Isn’t that a funny little fact up against all your puffery.

So, your General is lying?

Or, perhaps it’s YOU...still lying to yourself...

I do not follow a government or religlious body.
Christ told us we would be persecuted in his name.
It is a blessing.
Zelensky/Putin clowns both fighting for clown world.
Both worldly in their pursuits.
Surely they both wish to rule in hell.
Good on ‘em.

Vlad’s stated goal from day one was liberating the ethnic Russian provinces that declared their Independence from Ukraine, Lughansk and Donetsk…..which is about 95 percent complete. As it sits, he has gained two more additional ethnic Russian provinces. It doesn’t look like a stalemate to me.

The West can not grasp Vlad is NOT giving up those territories, ever. The sooner the West realizes that, the quicker negotiations for Ukraine’s survival can start.

The Ukrainian people is defending itself with what it has.
What the alternative? To lay down all weapons and let the russian invasion progress all the way to Kiev?
That would be a terrible act of defeatism, it goes contrary to conservative values.

Crimea was under the control of the Ottoman Empire. Before that, the Mongols. So Crimea was not always Russian.

These people that hate Ukraine are not conservatives.
They are leftists.
Some are not even Americans.

And they are very dishonest they have a disgusting agenda.

Virtually all of their arguments are well honed leftism.
