So we're supposed to spend a lot of time considering that Ukraine is run by drug crazed neo-Nazis? 

 

Keeping in mind that Zelensky is Jewish? 

 

No need to bend over backwards to accept Putin's version of this. He invaded Ukraine without basis. He is rattling the nuclear saber.

 

The best way this ends is with a successful Operation Valykrie.  


We should hear all sides and then flesh out what’s true and not true.  
 

What’s true:  There is a Nazi force fighting for Ukrainians that has support of the Ukrainian government in the war against Russia.  
 

What’s not true:  Ukraine is not a Nazi country and does not need to be “de-nazified”.   
 

We should be able to come to these conclusions without our media deciding what the masses are allowed to know. 
 

An official Ukrainian National Guard account tweeting out a Nazi battalion dipping bullets in pig lard to kill Chechen Muslims is worth reporting on… even if we support Ukraine.

I couldn't agree more.

I have been very suspicious of claims made because lack of evidence and the fact that what is claimed makes no military sense.

Either Putin/Russian are the stupidest strategists in history, or something else is up.

This "Ghost" thing seems to be a recreation of the Jude Law character in "Enemy at the Gates," and pops up the second day.

 

The "shootdown" of two transports, one which is claimed to have been carrying dozens of paratroopers makes no military sense.

If you are going to do a para drop, and those troops are being carried in a slow moving "grape," which is the term used by tacair guys in the US to indicate something more than an easy target, you escort it with at least four fighters.

Two would stay with it to defend against fighter interventions, and two to accelerated ahead and clear the target area, a tactic called a Mig sweep.

 

Either the Russians are fighting the most stupid war in history, or this stuff is pretty suspicious.

 

Regarding this thread, the suggestion that drones could handle the Russian ground forces is preposterous, but when posted from a guy who seems to be watching his first war, not surprising. The "game day thread" approach lacks nothing but a "push 'em back. Push 'em back way back" cheerleader thing.

 

On a good note, I think this is the end of Putin.

This is so one sided in the international public opinion perspective, that he is done.

Hopefully, he doesn't do anything really stupid in the endgame.

 

Actually, drones are pretty effective, not sure where you're getting that part.

 

Agreed on most of the rest.


Ukraine has some very effective drone technology from Hungary of all places.

Going into Day 5 of the first war between two modern countries in the technology age and we have one video of a missile hitting an apartment building and one oil depot fire… but I’m supposed to believe 3,000 Russian troops have been killed, multiple transport planes/helicopters shot down outside Kyiv and busted up tanks are strewn across the countryside….

 

Meanwhile… half of Kyiv is in bomb shelters and the other half are out at the bars.  
 

Ok…

Drones are effective until the drone target, with some anti air capability, gets annoyed by them.

At that point, they are paper airplanes.

They are really slow. They have very limited weapon payload capability.

They have no defensive capability, no maneuverability, and can be jammed.

Lots more footage than that out there but you are a Russian apologist. Don’t expect you to see it.

This is what the global elite think of you - and apparently only the GOP care about gas prices; cool thanks for clarifying what we've always known is that Democrats WANT high gas prices...

 

 

And read this scum bags timeline.  

 

They're more concerned with people not vocally or actively supporting Ukraine - odd especially considering they refused to support their own country in getting rid of Saddam Hussein - which was perfectly fine btw if you opposed it.  

 

 

Yes the biggest problem we have right now is 100% of Americans do not support ....... what?  Sanctions that don't work?  Escalation?  Ukraine's shining example of democracy?  

 

How about we oppose both Putin's actions....and the pieces of trash that run DC that helped contribute to those actions

 

We all told you so.  So don't lecture the people about needing to pay more for gas.

 

What a f....ing joke

Cool… link it.  Actual verifiable video. 
 

Show me a downed transport plane.  
 

Video of helicopters shot down outside a city of 3 million people.  
 

I’ve seen people share videos of people that could be anyone apparently captured.  
 

I’ve seen videos of blown up tanks that turn out to be images from the 2014 war.  

 

Ive seen satellite images of Russian tanks on the move, but none of destroyed columns.  
 

I can look on Snapchat or TikTok and see people out at bars in Kyiv this weekend.  
 

*Sorry I hurt your feelings sharing information about the Azov Batallion.   I still support Ukraine, but I’ll try to refrain from sharing relevant info that is counter narrative so you don’t have to think and can just be told what to believe.

Try not to be a dipshit. In war people have been known to do bad things. Keep up the pro Russia work Comrade.

So predictable.   
 

Putin is calling the invasion “the de-nazification of Ukraine”.   
 

Why should we not know why he’s saying that?

 

Ukraine does have a fringe population that is Neo-Nazi.  Reuters has reported on it in the past few years.  We see the Ukrainian National Guard tweeting out video of the Azov Battalion.   
 

It’s worth noting.  It’s also worth noting that this is a FRINGE population within Ukraine.  Most of Ukraine is certainly not into Nazi ideology.  
 

Western media simply won’t touch it, so people are left wondering, or just don’t care, why Putin keeps talking about Nazi’s.   Thats why.  
 

It’s also why, once we look into it, we realize it’s a joke of a claim and not enough to warrant anything remotely close to what’s he’s doing.  
 

I don’t understand why some people feel like we can’t absorb opposition info and only must hear the narrative of the “good side”.  
 

It’s worth it to critically think through situations and acknowledge and/or confirm/debunk claims made by our allies and enemies.   
 

No one owns a 100% monopoly on the truth.  Especially in war. 
 

Russia is our enemy.   Ukraine is full of innocent people who’s sovereign land is being invaded.  
 

That doesn’t mean we can’t question what we’re being told.  

And if you believe over 3k Russian troops have been killed, with planes/helicopters/tanks annihilated all over the place with zero verifiable evidence, then I don’t know what to tell you.  Ukraine is also waging a propaganda war - and I don’t blame them.  They should.   
 

Id just rather our media didn’t shape the narrative over every single thing.

Russian Media has acknowledged 4,000 Russian deaths, more in 3-4 days than the US faced in 20 years of Iraq/Afghanistan...etc

I’m finding it’s very tough to find any accurate casualty figures. If that 4,000 Russian figure is accurate I can’t imagine the Ukrainian losses. The only figures I can seem to find are civilian Ukrainian casualty figures.
