Ukraine is losing and looks like a complete disaster to this administration....so we had to change our mind

[gotrekgurnisson]

Nothing the US or NATO can field will make a difference. Ukraine doesnt have the men to operate

[AndyB]

Ukraine is toast and the US needs to find a new place to break international laws on the down low

No matter your opinion, pro Russia or pro Ukraine, there is no doubt that Russia/Putin— never contemplated from the outset, that they would be bogged down with an entrenched Ukraine this long period of time.
Likewise, it is factual, that these leaders make up the most inexperienced battlefield wise, joint chiefs leadership, that we have ever seen in our country history.
It is also astounding how the military has been stripped of certain American living career soldiers and replaced with immigrants….. if what I am told and read is true….. it REALLY CONCERNS ME, why such actions have been taken.

We live in just about the strangest and scariest time in America. I am in shock we end up locked into a war supporting Ukraine, NOW WITH TROOPS— that is hidden from us. WHY?

We just can’t be sure of hardly anything or it’s truth or veracity. I pray for my Country, and for discernment as to what is true or false.
