  3. Wishful strategy and analysis, premised on exceptionalism and bizarre notions of superiority of the ukrainians and west's capabilities and intelligence.
    E.g, why would a russian trooper suffer more in the trenches while the ukranian doesn't, why would the russian army have more logistics problems when they have a border with ukraine while the ukraine have to obtain all their weapons and fiscal support from allies especially usa which is more than 10000kms away…

  4. Thick as pig shoit….. In reality, the only thing Ukraine has achieved is laundering money and losing all the kit they have been given and burying their lost troops in mass graves. Feel free to prove me wrong.

  14. Why is the west cheering on a supremely corrupt and Nazified money laundering scheme and calling it about democracy when they are interfering with elections and elections and ruling newsmedia?
    Oh, of course! That's what is happening in the US. It's about control, how did I not get this?

  17. Just a question, with what will NATO forces use to force Russia out of Crimea? Just the bs from a retired man? Guess so. As that is all they can use atm. I only hear hypothetical if they have, then they should be able bla bla.
    They dont have it, they wont get it, they cant pay for it and the rest of the world wont either.
    So shitloads of wishfull thinking, nothing more.

    Be realistic. Ukraine is done..

  20. I live in the US. In our country we haven’t had to learn first hand what it means to be so threatened by non- and anti-democratic forces. That’s why people feel safer here and why the undereducated want to keep it for themselves. It is only by knowing what the global forces are that make up the refugee populations that we can stop the cycle of searching for populist remedies that seem to be the basis of autocratic administrations.

  27. Another military war monger, does think Russia is just going to sit there? Putin as shown a lot of restraint even thought nata and USA was pushing him hard to give them an excuse to get fully involved. But Putin knew it was big trap from the get go
