You know what is funny in all of this from my Russian Jew perspective.
Ukraine has zero redeeming qualities. The western part of Ukraine was famous for murdering and assaulting Jews for centuries. They are a corrupt country portions of which during ww2 supported nazism for various reasons. Ukrainians staffed concentration camps!!
But breaching their sovereignty out of a desire for legacy is gross
Supporting the war because you agree with the invading countries’ policy on gays is silly.
Russian media is accusing Ukrainian forces of attacking the dam. I have seen no real evidence from either side. Perhaps the crew from Gilligan’s Island is responsible?
The water level in the Dnieper river has soared by more than 10 meters in the area of Novaya Kakhovka in Russia’s Kherson Region after a Ukrainian strike seriously damaged the local major hydroelectric dam, local authorities said on Tuesday. https://www.rt.com/russia/577555-city-novaya-kakhovka-flooded-mayor/
Let"s be honest. The main reason the progressive liberal narrative continues to be so anti-Putin is because in 2016, Hillary Clinton hung an albatros around Trump’s neck… an albatros named Vladimir Putin. And she made sure that every progressive liberal learned to do their part to make that albatros stink. They couldnt care less about some violation of geopolitical “sovereignty” or even deaths… which occur all around the globe.
The second but related reason is because the progressive liberal mind abhors the Russian laws that stops the indoctrination of Russian children into non-traditional sexual lifestyles.
You virtually never read on these pages comparable hue and cry about civilian deaths and breaching of sovereignty in other parts of the world.
As to why some who call themselves “conservative” believe the progressive narrative… i’d have to point to IQ distributions, calcified cold warrior brains, and old timey “conservatives” who clutch the old globalist worldview as an imperative to a strong America… aligning essentially with the EU.
Even the New York Times has been forced to admit that Nazi symbols appear on Ukrainian uniforms with an annoyingly high frequency. Expect greater use of photoshop in photos from Ukraine.
Russia announced their hypersonic missile in 2018 and has used the weapon in Ukraine. On the other hand, the US cancelled the troubled AGM-183 missile in March 2023.
Which side would be impeded by blowing the dam vs which side is aided by blowing the damn? That simply military viewpoint will tell you who did it. And lets not forget months of reporting on Russian preparations to blow the dam to counter Ukrainian efforts to cross the river in force. Blowing the dam is a sound defensive tactic. Flooding the area will also make it impassable for mechanized combat.
He was idolized as a “Hero of Ukraine”. Then Yanokovich was elected and that title was removed by Yanokovich. After the coup, Bandera supporters managed to get every 1 January in Ukraine designated as Stepan Bandera day as payoff for providing the thuggery for the coup against Yanokovich’s government.
I’m guessing you don’t realize that you made my point. The Ukrainians were looking at it when the Russians were crossing the river on the advance. Now the threat is the Ukrainians crossing the river on the advance.
Oh, and tell your writers they need to come up with much better overcoming objections scripts.
Many people of Jewish descent fought with the Nazis in WW2. In many cases, it was the only way to survive.
The Neo-Nazis and their US allies gave Zelensky a similar choice: Bullets or bribes. He decided that he would rather live and has taken the bribes. Of course he has abandoned core principles as expressed in this speech from soon after he took office. The speech alternates between Russian and Ukrainian languages.
Our primary task is to cease fire in Donbass . . . 0:19
During these years, the authorities didn’t do anything for them (Russian speakers in Donbass) to feel they are Ukrainians. 1:23
