The Ukrainians seem to torture people:

I wonder if "marauder" in this case means a looter. I can see how the Ukrainian public would not object to looters being tied to poles like that.

One оf the meanings is indeed "looter":

Wish we had some of that going on during the BLM riots.

Doubt Patrick would be calling it "torture" if some neighborhood dudes in Portland managed to strap a skinny white Antifa loser to a pole and whipped him for burning buildings.

Isn't she stuck in Russia? Putin claims Ukraine is filled with a bunch of Soros and Globalist homos - right?

That makes sense, as Putin is now resorting to using Jihadis from Syria and Chechnya to kill Christians in Ukraine.

Russian Ministry of Defence release video appearing to show Ukrainian multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS) using the shopping mall to park that was then struck by a Russian ballistic missile last night.

Wow, that thing that comes from the sky looks pretty deadly.

The Jihadists are fighting Russia. These are the same groups the US employed to fight in Syria against Russia. CIA has been doing this for decades.

Putin is importing Muslims to kill Christians in Ukraine.

Simple as that.

The same folks that are now cheering on Putin are the same sorts that think 9/11 was an inside job and America, or America had it coming for "victimizing" the Muslim world with our support of Israel.

The two most destructive ideologies in my lifetime (Marxism and Islamism) have often been joined at the hip in their hostility to the West.

And Nazis. Don't forget the Nazis!

All at the same time and all "financed by the US".

PS. Again, nobody could explain why would the US simultaneosly finance two polar opposite groups if their goal was to have a strong ally for the planned attack on poor defenceless Mother Russia. I could see it as a way to weaken Ukraine, but this would be playing into Putin's hand.

Russia’s Ministry of Defence here admits 9,861 dead, and 16,153 wounded, soldiers, respectively. A drastic upward revision: https://archive.ph/f0A2Y?source=patrick.net

This is the funny thing, today, the Russian government is more credible than the American government is.

This is not the funny thing. This is the funniest thing. The funniest thing that I heard all day.

You are comparing cold to cancer, match burn to autodafe, paper cut to decapitation. And your comparison is reversed.

The US government has lied about

* The Nayirah testimony to start Operation Desert Storm
* The Al-Shifa pharmaceutical plant in Sudan making chemical weapons so Clinton could blow it up to distract from Monica Lewinsky's dress.
* A weapons of mass destruction program in Iraq to start the 2nd Iraq War
* Assad using chemical weapons so the US could bomb it, try to remove Russia's military base in Tartus, and to put in an oil mining operation for Genie Energy
* Qaddafi "causing a humanitarian crisis" so the US could bomb it, creating an humanitarian crisis.
* Russian Collusion
* Clinton having done no wrong by placing classified materials on a server that was known to have been compromised
* Opium cultivation in Afganistan which was under US military occupation - that's PART of the reason we were there.
* PROBABLY 9/11
* Hunter Biden's laptop, and yes, it appears that if some of those images are real, Hunter Biden is a legitimate pedophile.
* The "pandemic" and the effectiveness of several drugs.

So, what are Russia's big lies?

You've never even bothered to look into it. You're just repeating what you saw on television. That's the depth of your thinking, repeating what you saw on a glowing propaganda box.

@ChauvinsKnee People like you are so full of shit.

Ukraine is accepting volunteers to fight. I'll buy you a plane ticket if you like, but I see you off at the gate.

You mother fuckers just love war, until you have to fight it. Fucking warmongering chickenhawks. The US has been at 20 years of war, what good has any of the wars been for this nation, or the people of this nation? But you braying asses keep clamoring for it, as if it shows some bravery to do it.

It's pretty clear that Ukrainians do not share your ideas on what to do when their country is invaded. You think they should fold. They think they should fight tooth and nail. And they do.

If looked at it objectively the position to lay down arms and surrender to the invading force is kinda similar to letting somebody fuck your wife. Would you?

Well, if they win, I'm wrong.

I think either Russia will win, or, this will become a prolonged battle and all of Ukraine will look like Tripoli or Aleppo does, 10 years from now.

The United States has over 25 bio-research labs in Ukraine - and they are very worried about Russia releasing these agents, which indicates they have to be bioweapons. Is this kind of crap the Ukrainians are actually fighting for, whether they know it or not.

Who am I to tell them to give that up?

People like you get other people killed needlessly.

If in a war, you cannot win, it is pointless to fight, and in fact is immoral to fight, because you don't only lose, you prevent yourself from winning later on. It's a complete loss, and the victor writes the history.

If in a war, you can win, but the cost on lives and property are too great, it's again immoral to fight, because it again just weakens you.

If in a war, you can win, and the cost on lives and property justify it, only then is it worthwhile to fight.

All Ukraine had to do was say "we won't join NATO or host any of their weapons for X number of years", and then renegotiate later on and all this could have been avoided but the US has been driving hard for a conflict with Russia for years, and it should have been particularly obvious by 2016, when we were seeing shit like this:

I doubt anybody knows what the Ukrainians think at this point. They are downtrodden and cowed with rhetoric and victimization by the powers that be. The only people who think Russia won't succeed in their goals are the carpetbaggers holding on to their dreams of corruption.

Methinks Zelensky wants Russia to crush and kill the Nazis, thus the delays in surrender. If they are left over as a viable force, they will surely kill him if he hasn't done the tinpot dictator trip of fleeing to his offshore accounts and havens.

Once Russia reinvents itself free of murderous Switzerland and the fiat Babylonians and thrives, they show the world that it can be done. As soon as we free ourselves from being their war machine and arbitrary bullies and attack dogs, the same can happen for us.

I doubt any of them are thinking "I'm willing to die just to up the body count to make Putin look bad".

Because if that's the ultimate outcome, if that's the only possible outcome, that's what they are dying for, and nothing else.

And a body count like that is only used on dumb Americans that claim to care about Ukrainians, but don't give a shit about Libyans, Iraqis, Afghanis, Somalians, Syrians, Somalians, Palestinians, etc. It's just for the sheeple and they don't matter anyhow.

You know that Ukrainian insurgency against Russian Commies started in 1939 lasted up until 1962 or so, right? Who am I kidding, of course you don't.

As for "the only possible outcome", what were Americans thinking when British troops set the White House and the Capitol on fire in 1812? "Uh-oh, there is only ultimate outcome now, time to fold"? You don't know the outcome. Of course the enemy will try to persuade you that all is lost and resistance is futile.

Russia can defeat Ukraine by dropping a nuclear bomb right this minute and Russia will do that before Russia is defeated. The best that will happen will be a stalemate, and still Russia will not allow Ukraine to join NATO not that NATO will allow Ukraine to join anyhow.

Just what is Ukraine fighting for? What's their goal? Unless they plan on advancing into Moscow, they're going to get the same deal they would have gotten in the first place - except no lives lost.

As far as I can tell, there was no need for the war in the first place, and it could have been easily avoided. Ukraine, is effectively fighting to have the RIGHT to join NATO, when NATO (they aren't stupid) have no intention of adding them in. How fucking stupid is that? It is only effective propaganda for the United States, nothing more. The more people that die, the better it is for the propaganda.

Seems like alot of people here think there is only a binary choice of abandoning Ukraine or getting totally involved in WWIII.

I don't want US boots on the ground, NATO involvement let alone a No Fly Zone. Let the Ukrainians do their own fighting. But I am more than happy to have my tax dollars spent on weapons to bleed Putin and Russia's military dry. This could be our most successful (and cheapest) military expenditure in 30+ years!

Why do you think Biden Actor et alia are giving them mothballed Soviet weapons, LOL! They know that the Ukrainian army is surrounded and fucked, and that the weapons will never reach them in any meaningful manner. It's a silly token gesture. The weapons will be destroyed as soon as they cross the Polish border. Keep those Ukie Nazis fighting to the death on the basis of fake news hopium to keep the moribund criminal enterprises in Ukraine limping along for a few more plunder sorties, or for evasions and destructions of criminal records, or for bailout logistics for the rulers.

They can't send the cream of American armaments because they can't. Biden is a failed, faked executive with a cucked fake DOD potemkin apparatus.

They've had that for over 20 years.

Even when the US overthrew Ukraine, they had it, if Zelenskyy just said "we will remain neutral and not join NATO".

If Zelenskyy just made an agreement to that, then Putin wouldn't have had an excuse to invade. That's Putin's ONLY excuse.

Eric Holder says

Zelenskyy has his main opposition in jail, and has shut down opposition television stations. They're not a fucking democracy and they don't have sovereignty.
