You're the one who is all GUNG-HO to see Russian tanks get blown up, no matter the cost to the UKRAINIAN PEOPLE.

Imagine if the invasion could have been avoided altogether with a simple declaration that Ukraine would never be a part of NATO. I know you think this wouldn't have mattered to Putin, but they didn't even try. Then they (NATO) tell Zelensky that hey, btw, you're never going to be in NATO...AFTER the invasion...LMAO
Oh wait so we're back to blaming NATO...

Gotcha.

Unsurprising though you've been a Russian sympathizer for years on this forum.
It's ALL CORRECT.

I'm not a Russian sympathizer. I'm a truth sympathizer.

I gave ely tons of time...but still no mention of Mariupol...interesting.

The BBC thought much of that city way back in ancient March...I assume that's changed to "doesn't mean anything" now that Ukraine has given that city up.

Is this your "gotcha" moment?

It's a lot easier to remember what you say when you don't change your argument every 48 hours.

likely to fall <> fallen

So now that it's fallen, does this mean anything?

Or is your silence on the fall supposed to be taken as a big meh.

I don't think the developments in the past couple of days really mean much.

Russia was seeking a land bridge to Crimea.

They had that weeks ago whether they cleared the factory or not. So again, strategically or tactically, I don't think this news of any real importance.

Russia bled and bled badly for every inch of that city, given there was never supply or relief ever coming, the defenders did what needed to be done and did it with aplomb.

This is indeed a great victory for the Biden Administration.

It is such a sigh of relief for the world and NATO and our country.

I can't tell you how many nights I've been unable to sleep over the past 20 years...my brain just going 1M miles an hour thinking...if there was only a WAY we could get Sweden and Finland into NATO.

And now it's happening.

Praise Jesus!

Nope...let me rephrase that correctly.

PRAISE JOE BIDEN!

(PS. is there any way we can send Sweden and Finland some BILLIONS of $$$ now too?)
