Do you want a fresh Russian joke?

Putin trolls would be in prison for spreading misinformation and inciting hatred towards Ukrainians

Don't pretend to be buddy-buddy with me. I read your posts. You are much worse than he is.

In fact, if it were up to me you would be in prison for spreading misinformation and inciting hatred towards innocent Ukrainians, which indirectly led to them being tortured and killed by the people who believed your bullshit.

And you keep supporting Russia as if Putin personally pays you. Karma will come back to you one day.

Is this the first time you've met writers like this?
One here promised me a execution.

I believe one of the reasons many Americans carry such negative feelings about the Russians is our collective failure to understand the price Russians paid to defeat Hitler. The sad truth is that most Americans have trouble identifying the warring parties in World War II and generally believe that terrible conflict was settled because of what America did.

The American people are good folk at heart. They genuinely want to help the less fortunate or the beleaguered. But, during the last 75 years, American politicians cynically have used this trait to convince the public to back foreign wars that killed hundreds of thousands of civilians. All of this bloodshed was done under the banner of promoting freedom and democracy. Yet, if you ask the folks in Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Panama, Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, the Balkans, Libya and Syria how they view the US “help”, they have what can charitably be called a “different perspective.”

I believe one of the reasons Americans have been bamboozled into supporting most of the US foreign adventures is a fundamental ignorance about US military casualties. Misconceptions about US losses in World War II are pervasive. If you ask the average American who knows something about the history of WW II, he or she likely believes that the United States paid dearly in blood to defeat Japan and to help bring an end to Nazi Germany. In fact, the vast majority of Americans believe that the Russians played only a minor role in crushing the Nazis.

Apart from lousy public education, Hollywood is the major culprit in perpetuating the myth of US prowess in World War II. Those movies that mention the Soviet role (and that is a small number) usually portray Stalin as desperate for the Allies to open a western front against the Germans.

So let me share with you some surprising facts. What were the five bloodiest campaign battles in World War II that cost the United States the most fatalities?

• Battle of Normandy–June 6 to August 25, 1944. The United States lost 29,204 killed in action.
  
• Battle of the Bulge–December 16, 1944 to January 28, 1945. KIA, 19,276.
  
• Central Europe Campaign–March 22 to May 8, 1945. Fatalities totaled 15,009.
  
• Battle of Okinawa–April 1 to June 22, 1945. Deaths are estimated between 14,000 and 20,000.
  
• Philippines Campaign–December 8, 1941 to May 6, 1942. Approximately 13,000 KIA.

If your family lost a loved one in these battles, the total number of deaths is meaningless. The death of the person who was loved by parents, siblings and friends was incalculable. My intent in presenting these stark statistics is to help you appreciate why the Russians are so justifiably paranoid about foreign threats, especially those that embrace modern Nazis.

Here are the top five Russian campaigns. They only fought the Germans. But the price in blood is staggering:

...

Idiots like you are the reason why people are believing Putins propaganda about Ukrainians being nazis, idiot.

They hurting wheir own cause only in the eyes of idiots. Let me explain: executing POWs it's not the same as killing civilians. Especially, if this pows are from a country which started a war.

It's easy way to not be executed - just do not come to Ukraine. And for civilian ukrainians such easy way can't be achieved, because in their case they already at home.

Just yesterday I saw a video of Ukrainian soldiers bragging about executing POWs. Whether people say its justified or not, do they not understand they are hurting their own cause?

Russian missile hits an apartment building in Odessa region, kills 20 civilians including children. Were they training to join Azov in 20 years?

In Lysychansk, fighting broke out between soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and fighters of nationalist formations. This became known from intercepted talks in the area.

According to the Zvezda TV channel, AFU units are trying to leave the city. However, barrier troops are standing in their way and shooting all retreating units. Note that the allied forces are actively taking Lysychansk under their control. So far, they have succeeded in liberating the city's oil refinery. Ukrainian formations were using its territory as a staging post.

I am missing your point. Irony is fun when well played.

RF had to leave the island forcefully. Pretending that's a gesture is laughable and yes, it did cost them troops, ships and equipment. Ukraine "losses" were a small unit way at the beginning of the war that was probably testimonial. And for what some Kremlin trolls argue, they are not dead, they surrendered.

Russians used their superb science to resurrect dead Snake Island defenders...can you point at better than that Ukrainian
gesture? Ukrainians just want to kill without warning instead

Very near future. Paris. Russian tanks on the Champs Elysees. Tankers are sitting in the chantan cafe, drinking freshly brewed coffee, eating croissants, and one of the tankers says:
- Oh, it's a pity that we still lost the information war...

The Ministry of Dark Humour and Fantasyland tales must have been under budget cuts to come out with the story of "good will gesture" to leave Snake Island. I confess I had a good laugh at that one.

Despite how fancy and cool this island looks from the strategic point of view (perfect for early warning or as naval base) Ukraine decided long ago that is much easier to attack than to defend. The RF Chief Psychos had to first loose the Moskva, then a few other minor ships (along with wasting the lives of their crews for nothing) and ground troops to figure it out.

Good gesture my ass.
