Any non Russian who thinks Russia did a "feint" with their initial attack on Ukraine has an IQ of around a hammer.

This is what the paid trolls here and the shmucks who actually believe them don't understand. The world isn't in shock that Russia invaded Ukraine, they are shocked at how BAD Russia has performed...which led to many countries seizing the chance to help Ukraine pummel the F out of them.

For those who don't remember, the US took Baghdad in literally 3 weeks and all of Iraq in less than 2 months..and that was against one of the largest military's (supplied by Russia lol) in the world at the time.

Russia couldn't even get past The 'Burbs of Kyiv.

At 73 Easting we even had Bradley IFVs engaging Republican Guard MBTs and blowing them away. That shouldn’t have been a fair fight. Turns out it wasn’t… just not like we all thought 😂

Those depleted uranium rounds don’t care if you’re in a T55 or T80. They’re absolutely going to make sure you have a bad day.

It was more the TOW missiles against the MBTs but the Bushmaster could shred a BMP for sure. Each Bradley carried a dual tube TOW launcher plus reloads.

Also the US had long wave IR which could penetrate smoke. The Iraqis were mostly visible or image intensified optics. The Iraqis popped smoke… and promptly blinded themselves while the US could still see 😂

Did you listen to what he said or are you just being triggered right now?

Also, what kind of "ties" would he have had with Pinochet outside of just his family? He was a teenager or early 20s by the time Pinochet got out of power.

i watched the video in entirety. he said nothing that I haven't heard from others for weeks now. Except hes trying to pretend these are his thoughts. Hes a joke. been living in Ukraine for awhile now, doesn't speak ukrainian or Russian. Told everyone he expected to be kidnapped and executed any minute. Disappeared for days, returns without a scratch on him.

He's a nobody with ivy league credentials due to his family.

So to be clear, is what he said a lie? Even if it is something that has been repeated over and over in the past few weeks, is what he said at least probable?

Because they don’t want to capitulate to a bunch of invading bastards and cede their land and want to fight back! It’s obvious to anybody not slurping up Russian state media continually. The world finally found a country willing to fight for their freedom and fight fiercely and that dumbass Pootin attacked them. It’s his own damn fault.

Belarusians join war seeking to free Ukraine and themselves

Just how many fighters are we talking about here? And of what quality?
“We understand that it’s a long journey to free Belarus and the journey starts in Ukraine,” said Vadim Prokopiev, a 50-year-old businessman who used to run restaurants in Minsk. He fled the country after a rumor spread that he would be arrested for saying publicly that the government wasn’t doing enough for small businesses.

Rand Paul is absolutely right.

Of course he's right, but that should apply to all spending bills. All legislation should be limited to just one thing so that it can be monitored, but congress adds all kinds of crap to everything. Why isn't Rand Paul trying to get rid of attachments and riders etc all across the board? This bill has a lot of attached crap that Ukraine will never see. Every spending bill that comes out of congress is a contest to find out how many pounds of poop you can put in a 5 pound bag - seems like it's up to 50 pounds or so about now.

Why should any country give up part of the country for "peace". Do that, and the same thing is just going to happen again and again. It's why you don't negotiate and deal with terrorists - pretty simple really

I think Russia went in thinking theyd pick up massive amounts of support along the way and when it didn't materialize they got ****ed and had to pull out. Its consistent with the sacking of intelligence operatives and brass. They lied to Putin and it led to the deaths of thousands of soldiers. Knowing he's stepped in a hornets nest, hes settling for trying to hold donbas and a land bridge for Crimea.

As for Zelenskiy being bullied by the west..
If what you believe about whats transpired is accurate, he would have recognized he should capitulate several weeks ago. Ukraine wants this fight. They've been waiting for Russia to attack when they're ready.
