The Ghost of Kyiv

[Confederate Soldier]

‘The Ghost of Kyiv’ is the first urban legend of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine

They call him ‘the Ghost of Kyiv’ — and despite thousands of digital prayers to the contrary, he is in all likelihood a work of fiction.

The Ghost of Kyiv, a now wildly popular, but unconfirmed urban legend is sweeping over the hearts and minds of Ukrainians and Americans alike. It is a glimmer of hope for the courageous and resilient defenders of Ukraine.

"Urban legend sweeping over the hearts of Uks and Americans"? Sounds poetic but I never heard of it.

When white guys fight white guys, incredible feats of bravery occur!!

I think the more reliable legend comes from the fourteen Ukrainian defenders of Snake Island
when a Russian ship ordered the men there to lay down arms and surrender.

'Go F--k Yourself:' The Defiant Last Stand of Ukraine's Snake Island Defenders

The recording went viral on the internet and was posted on the Ukrainian news outlet "Ukrayinska Pravda", as well as many Western media outlets.

The Russians were given an unambiguous answer that American general Anthony McAuliffe gave to his troops in 1944 when Germans called on him to surrender (but in a more family friendly form),

Surrender? “Nuts!” Gen. Anthony McAuliffe's 1944 Christmas Message to his Troops

On December 22, 1944, American troops were sent an ultimatum from the German forces outside of the town, demanding "the honorable surrender" of the town within two hours. General McAuliffe reply was brief and succinct: "To the German Commander: N U T S ! The American Commander”

God speed, brave soldiers.

God speed, brave soldiers.

I think pumping more weapons into Ukraine to give to these brave people
will do a hell of a lot more good than these toothless sanctions Biden is laying down.

Obviously Putin has calculated he can handle the sanctions. As the Snake Island defenders said to
the Russians, we should be likewise saying to Joe Biden....go fuck yourself!

Ukraine is a Eurotrash problem!!

Another brave Ukrainian: He had to sacrifice his own life to blow up a bridge, in order to stop the advance of a Russian tank column.

Ukrainian serviceman Skakun blows up Henichesk bridge to stop advance of tank column

Vitaly Skakun is hailed as a hero after sacrificing his life to blow up the Henichesky Bridge.

The bridge was mined but a Russian column was advancing and there was no time to detonate it remotely.

Skakun radioed his unit and told them he would do it manually, saying goodbye. pic.twitter.com/6gqIFxlc01

For now. Give pootin a little room, and time, and it will get much worse.

It seems awful soon to me.

That's a guarantee!

These brave Ukrainian solders are hurting their Russia invaders.
Reports claim that Russian forces are higher casualties than they expected. Ukrainian resistance is much higher than expected.
A platoon of Russians has reportedly surrendered to Ukranian troops and scores of tanks, helicopters and planes have been destroyed.
In one case 15 tanks were destroyed in one action.
You Go Ghost of Kiev.

It will become our problem if China gets the idea, which they doubtlessly already have, that the US under
Joe Depends can be counted on to do nothing when U.S. interests are threatened.
Japan, India, and even Australia would be right to feel threatened too.

Taiwan will be gobbled up and then other dominoes may fall. Exclusive: Taiwan's President confirms presence of US military trainers on the island

Dismissing Ukraine as "Euro trash" is dangerous and stupid. Bless the brave Ukraine troops that are
standing up against the Putin invaders.

 

[B. Kidd]

The truth is the 1st casualty of war.

Yet, the West is still buying Russian oil and gas.
The latter IS THE TRUTH!

They've had 70 F'in years to get their shit together. It looks like the same old shit, different century.
With an abundance of nukes thrown in.

Are you possibly referring to Taiwan? Do you understand the size difference between Taiwan and
China? Seriously? Put your stupid pills away.
