Perhaps this is why the Corporate media, representing the Military Industrial Complex, is no longer obsessed with the Ukraine/Russian War? Have we been spending $BILLONS in support of a lost cause? (Personally, I knew it was a lost cause from day 1)

If Russia wins, that would be an enormous blow to the elites that want to construct a despotic, totalitarian, One World Government.

From the article:

Ursula von Der Leyen’s did the unthinkable today — she told the truth. During a speech condemning Russia for committing war crimes, she noted in passing that 100,000 Ukrainian “officers” (sic) have been killed since the start of the SMO.

If the 100,000 dead number is true, then that means Ukraine’s total casualties — i.e., killed and wounded — is approximately 400,000. In other words, Ukraine has suffered almost 40% casualties since the start of the fighting. During the 20th Century, this type of modern warfare normally saw 3 wounded soldiers for every man killed. Using that ratio we get the 400,000 number for total casualties.

It appears that some Western analysts who previously pooh-poohed the Russian tactics, are finally beginning to realize that Russia is serious about de-militarizing Ukraine via methodical, grinding tactics. There will come a point when Ukraine runs out of men and cannot field a combat effective force. It appears that day is approaching.

How can War torn Ukrainians afford to heat their homes when Western Europe is struggling and Western European factories are actually closing for the winter due to high natural gas prices?

There clearly are so many shenanigans at work here that it is as if clowns/sociopaths run the world and the media is their court jester placating and dividing the masses so they don’t wake up and depose the corrupt powers that be.

If it turns out that the media are the court jesters, I think they should be taken out first..

Russia lost.
It's the best money the USA ever spent.
Fuck the Russians good and prevent them from rebuilding their arsenal by sanctions forever.
We have been spending billions for decades preparing to fight a war with those primitive assholes; shoot the works now.
The dipshits in the Kremlin sent a small army to invade a pretty big country with an army of equal size.
Since Crimea, the West is training the Ukraine army, and they have superior missiles.

Russia lost.

When did our war with Russia end?

Can we fight the fascists in America now?

Russia lost.

So did Ukraine. Almost half a million working age men, dead or disabled. A demographic disaster. And all for what?

Billions? Haha, Trillions.

The US has fucking crippled itself by restarting a conflict with Russia AFTER the Cold War ended, for no fucking reason.

The national debt is now 30 trillion dollars. You know what it was on December 26, 1991 - when the USSR collapsed? 3.6 trillion. It's TEN TIMES what it used to be. Brilliant stupid fucking assholes! A dollar is worth a dime.

Keep celebrating your stupid pyrrhic victory, stupid assholes! Congratulations at destroying the country for nothing. But after 30 FUCKING years, we fucked up Russia, a LITTLE, TINY bit. Congratulations. That was worth it!

The USA didn't start the invasion; Putin did.
The money we are sending to Ukraine is well spent.
Russia has been fucked up forever, Putin is just making it worse.
The national debt grew from lots of wasteful things, not just our NATO budget.
Trump to his credit said to NATO that they have to pull their own weight more; we've spent enough defending them.
Germany of course hated to hear that.
Now, NATO is growing, and Ruissia is in retreat. It looks as if Putin "misunderestimated" just a little bit.

For the same thing American Revolutionary War was fought - not being subjects of a colonial power.

You think we're going to colonize the Ukraine?

My understanding is that we don't want to send any colonizers there. The deep state just wants to use Ukraine as a money laundry.

I have a gut feeling this war is at least partially motivated by a desire to neuter russia now while we have the opportunity, before they grow stronger and we need to deal with an emboldened russia + chyna teaming up on us. At least I hope its something worthwhile like that.

Oh my god. The US overthrew Ukraine, this led to the civil war in Ukraine. The US armed "their side" and Russia armed "their side", and THAT'S how this started.

Stupid fucking Neocons started this conflict, QUIT DEFENDING THEM.

These stupid fucking assholes have kept us in 20 years of war with 7 nations, and for WHAT? Now they are dragging us into WWIII. Quit fucking defending these stupid, sociopathic, incompetents.

Old boomers can’t really grasp that this isn’t the country of their youth anymore, and our leaders don’t do things with the best interests of our country in mind.

Neither can the young boomers.

LOL! Ukraine is already a Globalist colonial vassal State as a playground for their corrupt criminal enterprises. It's just a question of whose colonial entity they are going to be.

When the Soviet Union fell, Sec. of State James Baker, along with President George H. W. Bush, PROMISED Mikhail Gorbachev that NATO would not expand
by allowing other nations to join. They broke that promise. NATO has since expanded to the extent that Russia is now pretty much encircled. Ukraine joining
NATO would pose an existential threat to their Black Sea Fleet, and would potentially lead to the annexation of Crimea. There is no way Putin is going to allow
that to happen.

In 2014, the USA/CIA orchestrated a Coup that overthrew the duly elected government of Ukraine, which just so happened to have been very friendly with Russia.
In typical fashion, they installed a pro-NATO/USA puppet, which Russia, rightfully so, viewed as a threat to their security.

In order to understand Russia's position, try to imagine China creating a military organization that includes the membership of Canada, Mexico, the bulk of Central
America and Cuba. Do you think we might feel threatened?

I recall the Cuban Missile Crisis. JFK almost took us to nuclear war over Russia merely putting nuclear missiles in Cuba. How many member nations of NATO are there
that have nuclear missiles aimed at Russia?

Did The West Promise Moscow That NATO Would Not Expand? Well, It's Complicated

Mikhail Gorbachev himself said the question of NATO's expansion didn't come up in discussions when he was Soviet leader.

Putin signed an agreement to not invade Ukraine and Ukraine gave up all of their nukes.

Putin wants a puppet government in all of the countries which surround Russia; he succeeded in several of them.

In his mad mind, he needs to have buffers between Russia and the West. Why he fears the West so much is a mystery.

I guess he thinks Poland wants revenge more than it does a better standard of living, so he fears it will attack Russia someday?

Well, maybe the fact that the West has been lying for 2 decades about why it engages in war. Maybe Russia thinks what I do, that the United States is run by a bunch of psychopaths, and stupid psychopaths at that.
