STOLEN VALOR

Ukraine continues to hurt Russia in any way it can, and I respect them so much for that. Putin had no idea what he was doing when he invaded Ukraine and its very determined and feisty people. Kudos Ukraine!

US Military Veteran

Wow, that is an interesting view...except it is just dead wrong. Ukraine has not "hurt" Russia. Russia's economy is doing better today than almost every single European country. Where is Ukraine's economy? Oh, there is none...Russia's military is larger today than it was in 2022...Ukraine's military is on the verge of collapse. Ukraine has no money left to either pay their own government officials' salaries or pensions...Russia is not having money issues and has very little debt. Russia's manufacturing of weapons, artillery, missiles, jets, tanks, ships, and subs has all increased... What manufacturing is left in Ukraine? Ukraine has lost almost two million soldiers, has 300K desertions, and over 25 million citizens fled...Russia has lost a fraction of that. I don't think you have got the updated information.

US Military Veteran; Yep, those videos of oil storage blowing up in Moscow and St. Petersburg and all over the Crimean Peninsula were all fake.

As were the reports of gas stations without gas.

Oh, and it's the Russians that have suffered about 1.5 million casualties.

In an invasion that was supposed to be over in a week.

An obvious Russian propaganda bot is keeping at least one Russian alive through all this.

So, there's that. (edited)

STOLEN VALOR, this is just another pile of unsourced FABRICATED numbers.

“Ukraine lost almost two million soldiers”? No credible public estimate says that. “25 million fled”? UNHCR puts Ukrainian refugees around 5.9 million, with about 3 million internally displaced. That is terrible — but it is not your invented 25 million.

And “Ukraine has not hurt Russia” is pure comedy. Russia has taken catastrophic casualties, lost thousands of tanks and armored vehicles, had oil facilities, refineries, ships, air defenses, and military plants hit, and is burning nearly half its budget on war spending.

Ukraine still exists, still fights, still gets paid, still exports, still builds drones, and still hits Russia at home!!!

US Military Veteran; Everybody knows that you are a Wuzzian

Everybody knows that you're not a V

Everybody knows that you push propaganda

Everybody knows that but you can’t see

That's how it goes

Everybody knows

Tomasz

US Military Veteran; Stolen Valor Fake V says, "black smoke doesn't equate to anything".

LMAO, ROFL, LOL. It amounts to destruction in your 2 largest cities, which you cannot stop.

Says Ukraine is "starting small fires" when they are blowing up bridges, military factories, and ships.

Not only is it embarrassing that Ukraine can hit Wuzzian refineries anywhere, but we also have videos of Wuzzian surface-to-air missiles hitting targets for Ukraine.

The oil tank that they hit, and the roof became a UFO. For the second year in a row, Wuzzia is forced to import gas and diesel. More embarrassment.

Tomasz

US Military Veteran Stolen Valor Fake V has 8.9 thousand s. 24 hours ago it was 8.5 thousand. 24 hours from now it will be 9.3.

How pathetic does one have to be to give themselves s?

Just remember, fake V, no matter how many s and hearts you give yourself, you will always be outnumbered by the thumbs down you get.

Tomasz

US Military Veteran: All of Stolen Valor Fake L-I-E-S can be easily disproven with any AI Chat.

Check his dailies, and you will see 200 added per day as he gives himself hearts and thumbs up.

Claims to be anti-war yet supports Wuzzia's war in Ukraine.

Fake V is a Wuzzian stooge.

Stolen Valor

Fake V is not very peaceful since it supports the Wuzzians in the unjust, illegal, and immoral war in Ukraine.

Hates all wars but supports Wuzzia's war in Ukraine.

Claims Wuzzia uses 155mm shells, when everyone I know who has ever served knows they do not.

Claims Ukraine lost 2 million soldiers but can't provide one credible source.

Claims Zelenskyy is a dictator yet supports Putin, who has been in power for 26 years.

Claims Wuzzia wants peace when they kill civilians daily.

Claims Ukraine tore up the Minsk Agreements when it's Putin that announced the Minsk Agreements "no longer existed" on February 22, 2022, 2 days before he invaded Ukraine a third time.

Can't provide any credible sources for any of its Bravo Sierra.

Claims nothing would change if Ukraine received a trillion dollars and 100,000 tanks.

Ask it to name 3 horrific things Wuzzia has done in Ukraine; it won't.

Tomasz

US Military Veteran Stolen Valor Fake V, must be nice to have absolutely no life where one can publish Wuzzian lies, propaganda, and Bravo Sierra 12 to 16 hours a day, all day long while liking own comments even when all the lies, propaganda, and Bravo Sierra can be debunked in seconds using any search engine or AI chat.

Tomasz

US Military Veteran Cow Herd Stolen Valor Fake V didn't respond to my questions, so I will ask again.

Where is your credible proof of nearly 2 million Ukrainian soldiers dead?

Where is your credible source for the serious military analysts that are saying Ukraine has lost over a million soldiers killed.

Tell us which US military officers testified before congressional hearings about your Bravo Sierra numbers.

Tomasz

US Military Veteran Here's a test for Cow Herd "anti-war" Stolen Valor Fake V.

Name 3 atrocities Wuzzia has committed in Ukraine in the past 5 years.

It won't because the programming doesn't allow it.

Tomasz

US Military Veteran Mrs. "anti-war", why have you never condemned Wuzzia's war in Ukraine?

Also, statements turning Kyiv into a parking lot are not very "anti-war".

Neither is saying Ukraine is "getting crushed".

Nor is falsely claiming that Ukraine has 2 million dead.

Not to mention real Military Veterans don’t constantly lie and parrot Wuzzian propaganda.

Tomasz

US Military Veteran 100% copy and paste Wuzzian lies, propaganda, and Bravo Sierra from stolen valor fake V, which can be debunked in seconds.

To prove he is American, he says "Go Knicks" after they have already won. LMAO.

Tomasz

US Military Veteran Russia has lost a fraction of that."

The Center for Strategic and International Studies estimates the total number of Ukrainian troop deaths between 100,000 and 140,000, with another 500,000 to 600,000 wounded or missing.

CSIS estimates Russia has lost at least 325,000 soldiers in the war, with almost a million more wounded or missing.

British Intelligence and NATO say Wuzzia has 500,000 to 600,000 dead, with nearly 2 million casualties’ total.

Tomasz

US Military Veteran, Ukraine has lost almost two million soldiers,"

Still waiting for a credible source, Princess.

Tomasz

US Military Veteran, what manufacturing is left in Ukraine?

Manufacturing in Ukraine has been growing every year since 2022.

Tomasz

US Military Veteran Russia is not having money issues and has very little debt."

Wuzzia sold all thier gold reserves. Thier rainy day fund is gone. Oil prices have returned to normal.

You are exporting oil, at a discount, then buying gas and diesel from these countries, at higher prices.

Tomasz

US Military Veteran Ukraine has no money left to either pay their own government officials salaries or pensions."

They collect taxes, tariffs, get aid, and are now exporting weapons again.

Tomasz

US Military Veteran

Fake V 2022: Ukraine's military is on the verge of collapse.

Fake V 2023: Ukraine's military is on the verge of collapse.

Fake V 2024: Ukraine's military is on the verge of collapse.

Fake V 2025: Ukraine's military is on the verge of collapse.

Fake V 2026: Ukraine's military is on the verge of collapse.

Tomasz

US Military Veteran: Russia's military is larger today than it was in 2022

And you still can't accomplish any of Putin's major goals? How embarrassing.

Tomasz

US Military Veteran: Russia's economy is doing better today than almost every single European country."

Ukraine GDP 2025 +2.2%

Ukraine GDP 2026 est +1.2 to 2.6%.

Wuzzia GDP 2025 +1%.

Wuzzia, le PIB 2026 est de 0,8% à 1,1%.

Tomasz

US Military Veteran Ukraine has not "hurt" Russia."

Moscow refinery down until next year.

Crimea state of Emergency enacted.

Economic summit invitees see black skies in Saint Petersburg.

Ukraine's actions tell you it is a country that should be supported. They didn't turtle; they fought back. Now the entire world is paying attention to their advances in military technology, and even the U.S. asked for some training/info from them. They're manufacturing 200,000+ drones per month, and apparently Russia has no idea where they'd try to target those locations. They've weakened Russia's military and economy dramatically, with assistance from other countries, and they're making the Russian military technology available to the world. The U.S. continues to aid, but only because of aid approved before Trump took office. Trump has made it very clear he could give a dog pile if Russia swallows Ukraine up whole, even though he extorted a mineral rights agreement from Ukraine and put some skin in the game for the U.S. Slava Ukraine. If Russia finally gives this thing up, and Trump tries to gloat about some credit for that, remember he wanted nothing to do with supporting Ukraine.

Marcus

This is a great idea. Ukraine keeps coming up with great ideas to help them to fight Russia. Definitely two thumbs up! Russia will never win this war!

Geoffrey

What's great about using a shotgun on drones, or fishing nets to catch drones? 60 years ago, I had a radio-controlled airplane to play with. Germany used flying bombs during WW2; Japan used Kamikaze aircraft during WW2. Ukraine claims to have invented what already exists.

Mark

Who would thumbs down your comment?

Marcus

Mark, probably someone who wants Russia to win! I don't think they will.

Brad

Just imagine where this war would be had Vladdy's orange lapdog and his bearded beard JD Sofa actually supported Ukraine instead of insulting his wardrobe for Fox ratings.

Juanita

Unless watermelons are barely covered, it's not a wardrobe!

Larry

...would have ended years ago.

Lion

I wish we had an intelligent adult leader, Zelensky, instead of the petulant child we have now.

Surface2Air

Sorry, Donnie will never have those kinds of cards, no matter what suit he is wearing.

roy

You may want to second-guess that opinion. Zelensky is only in power because he keeps canceling elections.

Tom

Totally agree. If we were actually helping, this might be over

You blind and cannot hear, in both ears?

Don’t with China, North Korea, Russia and Iran.

David

You just gotta love the Ukrainians! And if I were Russia and Belarus, I would fear them, which seems to be what happened with Poroshenko! Don't mess with Ukraine.

Michael

My how things have changed, Trump led MAGAs into becoming pro-Russia, anti-Ukraine, anti-NATO!

All of a sudden, Russian negotiators accuse Trump of forgetting he promised Vladimir Putin he would negotiate that half of Ukraine be given to Russia,

Ukraine will not become part of NATO; Ukraine will not have a military!

Putin has been trying to contact Trump; Putin compliments Trump

on everything,

something has changed; Trump is switching sides to Ukraine, now praises Zelensky, says he has great fighters,

I’m waiting for MAGAs' response. MAGAs, now that Trump is on Ukraine’s side, are you MAGAs still pro-Russia, anti-Ukraine, anti-NATO?
