In reply to the discussion: Ukraine videos [View all]Boreal
(725 posts)This is a very interesting part of the story that those only getting their news from the lapdog western media don't know. For a generation, Ukrainians have been deeply brainwashed to hate Russians. I mean brainwashing like children of KKK members may have gotten 100 years ago about black people. I have some videos showing it and will get to those in a while. These people have been told they are being invaded by Russian Federation armed forces and east Ukrainians are all subhuman terrorist sympathizers who must be killed. Ukraine has a regular military and privately funded (oligarch) armies, as well as a National Guard comprised of the neo Nazi crazies. The regular military uses conscripts and Ukraine has resorted to deceit and outright kidnapping to scrounge up a steady supply of cannon fodder. They've even raised the draft age to 60! Because Ukraine is so corrupt and broke (oligarchs have stolen all the money), when their forces in the east are losing, they just quit supplying them and leave them to their own fate while they work another plan of attack, elsewhere. While Ukraine (government and oligarchs) have far more forces and hardware, the Resistance has more committed fighters because they're fighting for their very existence, families, homes and land. They're better fighters and have not only killed a lot of Ukie forces but captured POWs and their equipment. They also don't leave their people to die like Ukraine does. The Ukrainian government has been lying to the people of the west about losses, drastically minimizing killed in action and reporting them as "missing in action". People in the west, many who don't want war, have caught on to what's being done and the rage is starting to build. There have been lots of demonstrations, mainly women, demanding their sons, husbands, brothers be returned to them or wanting the truth about those who have not come back. The following video is a confrontation with a representative of the Ukraine military. In the crowd are some conscripts who made it home - 83 out of 4700 - and some very angry local women.
