...perhaps it's because Israel has more in common with Russia than the United States and other Western democracies.

Money well spent.

By comparison, the US spent $4 trillion (adjusted for inflation) on World War II and war spending was about 40% of GDP in 1945, the last year of the war.

If they can hit Sevastopol again, the orcs should really consider leaving. Ukraine has tremendous reach now. I’m just hoping the US pulls the trigger on ATACMS. That bridge’s days are numbered

That naval base is why Crimea is so important to Russia.

If the Black Sea Fleet leaves, then Crimea is useless (to the Russians).

That is why I doubt that they would leave.

Finally people admitting what was Putin's talking point from the start, Russia is at war with US and NATO. Good to have this in writing.

LOL, you aren't very good at this trolling thing.

Russia can't even beat Ukraine which is getting hand-me-down weapons from NATO countries.

Had Russia started a war with NATO, Russia would be under NATO occupation right now.

Had Russia started a war with NATO, Russia and the NATO would be destroyed right now, probably with entire planet cause it would've been a nuclear war.

As for hand-me down weapons from NATO countries only thing that will soon be left that wasn't given is gonna be boots on the ground of NATO active soldiers.

As always, you are too gullible.

The most basic need of humans is self-preservation.

The Russian elites don't want to live the rest of their lives in a nuclear wasteland.

If Putin orders a nuclear strike, they will throw him to the wolves rather than allow him to continue with his order.

Ukraine Territorial Defence Force transgender spokesperson Sarah Ashton-Cirillo announces that: " Ukraine will hunt down "Russian propagandists" around the world."



What does the person's gender identity have to do with anything?

I mean, that's totally besides my point.

But also if you mean that west occupying Russia is a better chance than a nuclear war...

Russia doesn’t have a prayer of a chance against NATO.

There is not going to be a nuclear war.

The Russian elites would toss Putin to the wolves before then.

So that Kadyrov tiktok video was a deep fake, an impostor, or what?

It's probably a pre-recorded video.

There will be a whole generation of Ukrainians who grow up hating Russians with every fiber of their bodies.
