Re: The Ukraine Crisis
Lol. Georgia is starting to smell blood.
When this broke out the thought was it would usher in Chinas invasion of Taiwan. Would be hilarious if it instead inspires Georgia to reclaim its territory taken in 2008.
https://euroweeklynews.com/2022/09/13/g ... on-russia/Georgian Dream Party, the ruling political party of Georgia, has promised to hold a referendum on beginning a war on Russia, as reported on Tuesday, September 13.
The Georgian Dream Party may organise a nationwide referendum on beginning a war on Russia according to a statement made on September 13, at a briefing at the office of the ruling Georgian Dream party by the party chairman Irakli Kobakhidze.
“Let the people say whether they want to open a second front in Georgia against Russia,” Kobakhidze stressed. And he promised that the authorities “will act as the people say.”
The politician expressed hope that the Georgian people “will clarify whether they agree with the statements of Ukrainian politicians on the necessity of Georgia’s involvement in the war or with the position of the authorities of their country.

Re: The Ukraine Crisis
Are you starting to believe your own bullshit?
There is no bigger supporter of illegal labor than the Chamber of Commerce and you know it. Illegals do American businesses a great service helping to keep wages for American labor down and with all the sniveling about how nobody wants to work for less than the cost of living these days, who else do you think da bidnizmen will turn to?

Re: The Ukraine Crisis
Before Ukraine retook the Kharkov territory, Russia held about 20% of Ukrainian territory. I think after the counteroffensive it's down around 18% now. Russia has their buffer states in the L/DPRs and their land bridge to Crimea. Everyone is assuming that Russia's goal was to take over all of Ukraine, but they would have to "officially" go to war and mobilize way more troops to pull that off. Meanwhile Ukraine is in full mobilization (as they should be).Silenoz wrote: ↑Sun Sep 11, 2022 6:59 pmwut? Progress not immediate enough for you? Then I hate to think of what word would describe Russia's 6+ month campaign to basically make negative ground since March
Yeah, I mean other than kills tens of thousands of them and having them actually ponder mobilization, sink their flagship and send their fleet cowering, completely pause the overall Russian offensive campaign due to fucking their bases and depots up with repeated uncontested HIMARS strikes, forcing them to get shit-ass tech from Iran and North Korea, killing a laughable number of generals, striking Crimea...
No, yeah, this has been such a great overall success for Russia. I guess Ukraine was due to do something meaningful
But keep doubling down on the baby-rapists JV squad army. No point in going back now!
But by all means lets keep sending billions of dollars to a corrupt Ukrainian government. What could possibly go wrong.

Re: The Ukraine Crisis
Anyone claiming the Kerson counteroffensive wasn't a failure just isn't paying attention. At best you can claim it was a feign for the Kharkov counteroffensive.Skjellyfetti wrote: ↑Mon Sep 12, 2022 2:19 pm Yeah, SDHornet is going to eat his words. The Russians West of the Dnipro have no resupply route. Ukraine is advancing slower in Kharkiv but the Kherson counteroffensive isn't over and certainly not an "utter failure." Lol.
Ukraine make their push past the Oskil River yet?
Speaking of rivers, Ukraine manage to set new pontoon bridges to get their forces over the Inhulets River yet?

Re: The Ukraine Crisis
People pretend that the Russians had an excuse to invade their next door neighbor and attempt to install a puppet regime.
People pretend that the Russians aren't deliberately targeting civilians with heavy artillery.
People pretend that there aren't mass graves filled hundreds of civilians being found in Russian-occupied areas.
People would rather see Ukraine taken by Russia than see the gubmint get credit for helping Ukraine survive.
People want to Blame America First.
Why do you people hate America, SD? Why do you idolize the crowd that would force you on to a bus and send you 1500 miles away with nothing if they saw you or your family walking down a street near the border in Texas? Or just walking down the street in Florida?

Re: The Ukraine Crisis
Yeah. Official would mean regular United States military on orders for action in Ukraine. Not those that are former US military there by choice.
We have volunteers in many wars we took no actual part in. There were a lot of antifa Americans that fought in the Spanish Civil War again Franco, por ejemplo.

War is hell. My people couldn't care less what happens on the other side of the world. My people wonder why the fuck are we sending billions of dollars to a corrupt regime in a war that has no implications on national security. Instead we're throwing billions away while we got millions of illegals dragging down our wages and fentanyl and violent criminals filling our neighborhoods all via Biden's open border. Huge swing and a miss on that one houndie.

Re: The Ukraine Crisis
Well, we did kinda let him get away with just walking into Crimea and saying "mine". That was something like 8 years ago and there's only serious talk now about maybe Russia needs to give that back to Ukraine before all of this is over. I mean, we did issue some very stern and aggravated press snippets after he did that and we said we weren't going to change the coloring on our maps to show it belonged to Russia, but other than that we didn't do a whole lot. This time thankfully Ukraine held out a little bit longer and put up more of a resistance, so we had a chance to lend a helping hand and billions of military equipment as well.houndawg wrote: ↑Tue Sep 20, 2022 9:59 amNot our fault Putin started believing his own bullshit and thought he could walk into Ukraine and install a puppet regime.
