Ukraine Update | Drudge Retort

Saturday, April 19, 2025

1) Ukrainian intelligence releases the voice intercept of a Russian commander losing his temper and ordering his soldiers to shoot at their own comrades in a neighboring unit. "F**k the 55th, shoot them, that's the battalion commander's order, shoot them." The unidentified Russian commander appears frustrated at the adjacent Russian unit for not properly following an order and revealing their positions to Ukrainian troops. 2) The director of Russia's Foreign Intelligence Service threatened NATO states during a 15 Apr meeting with Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko in Minsk, saying that Poland and the Baltic states would be the "first to suffer" if there were any "NATO aggression" against the Russia-Belarus Union State. 3) GOP Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick (PA 8th CD) visits Ukraine's front line and signs an artillery shell for Vladimir Putin. Fitzpatrick, a retired FBI SA, is pictured below.

"F**k the 55th, shoot them, that's the battalion commander's order, shoot them."

A winning army does not behave like this.

All that's required for Ukraine to lose is a bunch of ersatz peaceniks such as we find even in this forum.

The Russian-Ukraine War is horror. Russia winning that war will unleash horror.

The peaceniks will love them some war again once Trump finds it in his personal interest to have one.

That is a war beyond the Houthis. For reasons I can accurately guess MAGA doesn't see that as war.

MAGA and Trump are so like the old Nazis. They walk out in the morning and say whatever they percieve will give them an advantage that day. Trump and MAGA are about power, not peace. They are in fact bloodthirsty beggars, and we have ongoing examples of that.

Russia is a VERY 'Christian nation', ya know; Vlad's even showing it by pausing his civilian targeting with child killing missiles for a few hours for Ishtar.

Mighty white of him, really.

The amount of children killed in the Ukraine war since is started is equal to about a month of the Gaza war. The difference? In the eyes of Democrats like Corky - there is no difference - they LOVE ALL WARS. What happened to Code Pink?

GW on line 3 for you.

And btw, did you know that a Whataboutism like, "But.... but... what about Gaza?!" is a logical fallacy? It's at most an accusation of some perceived hypocrisy, but not an argument the point made.

Usually used when one has no such argument.

Besides which, people who support and vote for criminals; frauds, rapists, and traitors... have no standing to comment on people who aren't any of those things.

There is no whataboutism - you criticized Trump for now okaying Israel to attack Iran and kick off WW3. Trump and myself have been 100% clear - no foreign forever wars if they are not in the interest of the US. You are the opposite - you want forever war now - just like all the Dems. Your self from 20 years ago would be protesting your you of today as a war monger and evil. You need to live with that.

I wonder how a not-sockpuppet would come to that conclusion?

Pretty easily - you could not find a Democrat supporting forever war about 2 years after the Iraq War started. Sure, they supported it for the first bit (like John Kerry), but then soured on it 1-2 years after it started. Code Pink was a major movement - Democrats wanted peace.

That is a far cry from today where Dems want forever wars against Iran and Russia.

So, I don't need to know Corky for 20+ years - I know she is a Democrat Party sheep that followed the party line at that time.

Here is another bet - I bet she was 100% against the Patriot Act and the Deep State - until she was for it.

- Trump and myself

His homoerotic fantasies about the Cult Leader are hysterical.

We have met the real warmongers like Trump's Owner Vlad, and they are the people you support... just like the Original America Firsters supported the white nationalist rwing populist Nazis in Germany in the last world war.

- she

The misogynism is strong in this one. As is the jingoism, the racism, and the Chauvinism.

But being a traitor to his country is even worse.

#11 | Posted by Corky"

Yeah, Vlad is the warmonger - not you for supporting Israel bombing Iran and sparking WW3.

As for me calling you "she" - if you do not identify as a woman, I sincerely apologize. I assumed you were a woman.

"Your self from 20 years ago would be protesting your you of today."

I can do that just fine in the present.

Why can't you?

We know why.

Let's test this:

20 years ago you wanted to go to war against Russia? - Obama sure didn't.
20 years ago you wanted mass illegal immigrant? - Bernie sure didn't.
20 years ago you wanted no tariffs against China? - Pelosi sure didn't.
20 years ago you wanted to limit freedom of speech? - the ACLU sure didn't.

Hell, even the main Democrat policy today - pushing the LGBTQ+ agenda - the Dems of 20 years ago were against. Obama was not for gay marriage then. Hillary was not for gay marriage then. Hell, even California voted against gay marriage then.

Now, you are pushing trans ideology and drag queens to have access to children - the Democrats of 2005 would have called you insane.

20 years ago you wanted to go to war against Russia? - Obama sure didn't.

20 years ago was 2005 and you idiot republicans were jumping for joy about being in a war with Afghanistan and Iraq. Now you idiots refuse to admit you voted for BushJr. Fortunately 20 years from now you'll be dead and won't have to admit you supported Trump.

20 years ago you wanted mass illegal immigrant? - Bernie sure didn't.

20 years ago Republicans were giving amnesty to immigrants. Reagan did. BushSr did. BushJr did. Trump has been the first president of my lifetime that has been so openly xenophobic and racist. Really helped a dying Republican Party come roaring back to life. Hate was the missing ingredient.

20 years ago you wanted no tariffs against China? - Pelosi sure didn't.

There have always been tariffs on imports and exports. But they weren't just hamfistedly imposed. Trump's greatest accomplishments have always been bankruptcies and corruption. It's what he's brought to the oval office with him.

20 years ago you wanted to limit freedom of speech? - the ACLU sure didn't.

The only people curtailing the 1st amendment are Republicans. Deal with it.

the main Democrat policy today - pushing the LGBTQ+ agenda

You taking about civil rights? Conservatives have always opposed civil rights. Since the days of the civil war, to women's suffrage movements, to civil rights activism in the 60s and 70s. To homosexual equality in the early 2000s, to trans rights over the past ten years or so.

you are pushing trans ideology and drag queens to have access to children

What is transgender ideology? That some people's genders and bodies don't correspond? I get it. Conservatives fear change and acceptance.

As for drag queens, they're probably the safest demographic for children to be around.

the Democrats of 2005 would have called you insane.
