Cheering on the forces of Ukraine

Just have to smile at videos I have the pleasure of watching. Every time I view a SU-34, MIG-29, or Russian helicopter get knocked out of the sky, utilizing arms supplied by the U.S. and other countries, I grin like a school kid. That offsets reading input from a small minority. “I heard it is likely Ukrainians used a hospital to launch at Russians.” Dead civilians in the street is “propaganda.” Civilians executed was “staged.”

Then there is the we should just “negotiate” with Putin. Here is Putin’s style of negotiations: I invade country. I kill as many as possible. I destroy as much infrastructure as I can to drive out the rest. I claim country. DA! Negotiations concluded.

I would ask can you get any more stupid? But that usually turns into some proving yes, they can. Oh, P.S. Russia just lost their ninth general. GO TEAM UKRAINE!
