    An elderly Ukrainian couple confronts armed Russian soldiers entering their property. Instead of running and cowering from these Putin thugs, the old man and woman get in their faces and run them off their property with nothing more than courage and determination. Try not to be inspired by this display of backbone and steely resolve.

    I like the way she backs up the big guy. Personally, those three soldiers did the right thing.

    They probably caught hell for it, but they did the human thing. Goes to show that even the kids forced to commit this evil are not all in with Putin's madness.

    Just one correction.
    It is not Putin's madness, it is a so called "West" that armed and enriched Putin.
    The "West" is 100% responsible of what is going on in Ukraine.

    I saw a video of a Ukrainian dude driving by a Russian tank in the first couple days of the invasion. I cant find it, so I'll replay:
    He pulled up next to their tank and asked if they were lost.
    They said they were out if gas.
    He asked where they were going.
    They said 'well what did the news say?'
    He asked 'can I give you tow back Russia?'
    They laughed and said 'hey F*** off.'
    He drove away.

    Both the soldiers and the driver seemed just as amused by eachother as irritated by eachother. The hostility displayed was no more than that of typical fans of opposing teams at a sporting event.

    It really seemed like the Ukrainian knew the Russians didn't want to be there just as much as he didnt want them to be there.

    If someone decided to invade the United States of America it would go in a very similar manner you know why because we have guns and we're not afraid to use them

    Just for the record, I'm a Florida born and raised redneck.

    This stupid talk text thing on my phone sometimes makes it sound like I'm a foreigner. Just to speak for the record no I am not.

    A Russian couple, who live in Ukraine /approximately over a third of population are ethnic Russians/ tell a group of Russian soldiers to leave and they leave as all civilised and normal soldiers do. If they were U.S soldiers, those elderly people most likely would end up being gunned down. This thread actually shows the Russian soldiers in a good light.

    Nope. The man giving the orders is responsible. Vladimir Putin is a living breathing autonomous sentient human being who is calling the shots. Responsibility ends with him. Blame the west if it tickles your pickle, but that's just noise and deflection.

    If someone tried to invade the US, it would be an absolute blood bath. We have the strongest military in the world, and if anyone got so far as to roll into any American city or town, they would find a well-armed American behind every blade of grass.

    Please provide support for your claim that US soldiers would likely gun these people down.

    Shoot first ask questions later. I wonder if all those dead could possibly answer the questions.

    We screwed up horribly in Iraq, but we didn't flatten cities.

    What all this noise tells us is that Putin's little terror campaign isn't going well..

    We
    We can spend here three days listing and posting all the crimes the U.S army members have committed against various countries and humanity. And we both know that you will just ignore it and pretend that everything is all right. Have a nice day sir.

    "The horrors of Grozny and Aleppo are being visited upon the people of Ukraine and witnessed across the free world. Russian airstrikes kill civilians and reduce cities to rubble, as Putin targets children’s hospitals, nuclear power plants, cultural landmarks and residential buildings. These attacks are not indiscriminate; they are deliberate attempts to slaughter and terrorize."

    Yes, there are dozens of countries that are deluded...

    If your goal is just to spew anti-American vitriol, maybe you should start another thread specifically for that. Such bitter animus is not the goal of this thread. The goal of this thread is to recognize the courage and determination of the Ukrainian people, and this elderly couple specifically.
