I hope Ukraine kicks some Russian ass but the proof is in the results. Right now it’s just talk. Let’s see them do it. I doubt we’ll have to wait long.
They don’t seem like the bluffing type and probably figure they can’t defend until Putin dies. We’ll see.
Twitter and Telegram are exploding with news that Wagner is declaring war on Russia. I do not know if any of this is true, but I have watched video of an explosion in St. Petersburg and army vehicles blocking roads in Moscow. The game might just be changing right now.
I despise my government, especially Scholz. I feel ashamed he alone in the government refuses to give the Ukrainians that little Taurus rocket. As if he still neither realizes the danger especially our country as well as Western Europe faces if Russia wins, nor that time plays for Russia.
I hope the Republicans don‘t risk having to face not just China but also Russia in the increasing rivalry if not war to come. A Russia losing the current imperialistic war is also in their essential interest.
I can‘t express my respect for the brave Ukrainians still defending their country despite their high blood toll and terrible living conditions.
This is interesting. I wonder if they’ll draft women soon.
Interesting how the US didn’t care about this case. I guess it conflicted with the approved narrative.
I’ve heard of Kyiv, but Kyjiw? Difficult.
Looks like we are going to pay higher taxes again next year. I guess we deserve it. It’s okay to me. I know someday he will have to answer for every word and action.
This article implies that the reason the west supports Ukraine is because they may suffer the same fate as Crimea but I just don’t believe that at all, even though I really don’t know why they keep on with all of this nonsense. I am certain they are hiding something that they know we will find out if Russia takes over.
I don’t really believe Russia will attack Poland or the Baltics, but I do believe Moldova is vulnerable. Georgia, too. Possibly Belarus.
Russia has emerged from this remarkably unscathed. Their grocery stores are well stocked and people have money to buy things. The roads are full of traffic and people have enough money to buy cars and gas. The Bolshoi Ballet is operating as usual. There is little to stop them from going further.
What are you on about, Reg? Should the west prepare to defend Moldova or are you just exaggerating the reality of the war?
Are you disappointed?
I honestly don’t know. If Russia is on the march, we need to stop them. If they are going to stop at Moldova, then we should sacrifice them. Sorry, Moldova, but you’re not worth my cushy lifestyle.
Yes.
Canada doesn’t contribute enough to effect your cushy lifestyle, Reg, but at least the gentleman in you acknowledges how sorry you are.
We’ve given Ukraine $4 billion. God knows we’ll never get that back.
I don’t know why you are complaining when not that long ago higher taxes was a small price to pay for Ukraine’s survival. Now you are irritated because the war is taking too long and the price is too high, which indicates that you are never satisfied. I hear what you’re saying but I’ve voiced the same opinion about our cost (80 billion now) many times in the past but that has always fallen on deaf ears so idk what to tell you but learn to live with it.
No, Michele, I am not irritated by that at all. I am irritated that the outcome is now obvious and Ukraine is going to lose. Given that reality, I wonder if it makes much sense for us to carry on this war. It might be better to just accept the new world order. I do admit that abandoning them now will probably mean they lose their entire nation, rather than just the territories they have lost so far. This alone may justify further assistance.
Yeah, well…what are they really losing.
Assistance? Oh…assistance, as in, providing them with necessary tools to commit suicide at Russia’s discretion. I’m sure that can be justified all day.
I knew if we waited long enough there would be evidence that the U.S. was behind that bloodbath.
Every investigation I read about leads back to us every time.
I don’t believe they just started harvesting organs in 2021 but I do believe Kamala Harris is the most telling representative for Ukraine at the upcoming Peace Summit.
