    It's good that we destroyed and pillaged their country and society for 20 years, stole all their money, and bolted, actually

      It's the Parenti quote.

      If Russia sends its tanks into Ukrainian cities, they're desperate idiots because tanks are vulnerable in urban warfare.

      If Russia doesn't send tanks into cities It's because they're scared of the Poltergeist of Kharkov his Ukrainian Avengers.

    their military folded because the US plan for their military was for them to fight to the death and lose. Also the US appointed friendly officials who were so corrupt they just made up army regiments and pocketed the pay

      This is also America's plan for the Ukraine. Fight to the death and lose. Unlike Afghanistan though Ukraine is so far following through on Americas plan.

        I heard a theory recently that the Ukrainian government may have lost control of the army and can't get them to come and defend the cities

    Reading shit like this, I don't care for Ukraine. It makes me a piece of shit but I don't give a fuck about Ukraine. It's depressing and it hurts so heavily to read shit like this

    it should be a significant point that a majority of the ppl there ARE anti invasion, even if they weren't before and now support the Ukraine gov. like imagine if most Afghans were actually pro US intervention (an impossibility obviously)

    obviously this dude has fucking brain rot though, "yeah Afghanistan isnt an American failure because, after trillions of dollars, 20 years and thousands dead, the afghan people just hate our freedom and love not being free"

      The 9M730 Burevestnik could likely fly in such a way to avoid all us defenses, ensuring MAD.

    This is also how Americans rationalized the failure of the Iraq War. That "we gave them freedom and look be what they did with it!" line. It's how libs avoid dealing with the fact that they supported horrific invasions and occupations.

    Note to the world When the USA or the West offers help, we expect you to perform like Ukraine. Not Afghanistan.

    Massive Karen energy here. "Listen, we didn't invade your country to let it fall to the local resistance, now pick up that carbine Uncle Sam bought for you and do a heckin' murderino on your cousin,"
