    Let's see how Ukrainians celebrated the New Year.

    Ukrainians Chant ‘Putin’s a Dickhead’ as NYE Bombs Rain Down in Late-Night Drone Attack

    Russia’s Vladimir Putin has made clear he counts on Ukraine caving to his demands after nearly a year of all-out war, but a Russian drone attack on Ukrainian New Year’s Eve revelers in the capital on Saturday is perhaps the best sign that’s not going to happen. A video taken in Kyiv and circulated in local media captured the stunning act of defiance: As a series of deafening explosions are heard all around them, a chorus of Ukrainians can be heard screaming, “Putin’s a dickhead!” from their balconies. Others yelled “Glory to Ukraine!” Ukrainian authorities said air defense systems shot down at least 23 targets over the skies of the capital.

  2. Probably some of you will read the article headline and think, as I did: "haven't they already done this several times over this year?" And the answer is yes.

    It;s the frontline Russian soldiers that pay the price when Putin keeps replacing the generals. Each new general starts throwing the untrained, unequipped soldiers at the Ukrainians harder and more recklessly in a desperate attempt to not be canned and shamed by Putin.

  3. Ukraine sending some signals that they are doing long range planning for Crimea- just to get the Russians attention.

    A lot of Russians have already left or are planning to leave. They are well aware that when Russia invaded Crimea many, many Ukrainians had to sell or abandon their houses for just pennies. Just as what the Nazis did to the Jews. And just as the Tatars experienced when the Russians deported them from their homeland, also known as Crimea.

    So if you are Russian and own/seized property in Crimea and are expecting to get some value for "your" house, you better sell it and get out while it is still worth something. Otherwise, KARMA is going to pay you a visit SOON.


    "We have a principled position, which has been formed and has legal norms based on it. All citizens of the Russian Federation, who illegally arrived in the temporarily occupied territory, Crimea, in violation of the migration legislation and border crossing regulations, must move, after the territory is liberated, outside the Ukrainian borders, including Crimea, because they were staying there illegally,” the official said.

    Former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn gave his assessment of the Ukraine war on Steve Bannon’s podcast.

    Said Flynn: “Russia has achieved all of their objectives, and they’re now exposing… bio labs that have been in there sponsored by the U.S. The guy that just showed up to speak to our Congress in a sweatsuit should’ve been thrown out.”

    LOL

    Seems just like yesterday when you were defending him for undermining Obama's sanctions on Russia, and then lying about it.

    There’s legitimate criticism of Rice and that’s fine because she is actually a loyal American then there’s everyone telling you Michael Flynn is a Russian asset and arguing the deep state is out to get Flynn. What a bullet we dodged with Flynn.
