    Ukraine is putting up a heroic fight against the Russian invaders, and AFN is getting confirmation that Russian soldiers are discouraged and disillusioned.

    Many of the Russian soldiers who are now being ordered to destroy Ukraine actually believed that they were massed along the Ukraine border since last December for training exercises, and nothing more – just as Russian strongman Vladimir Putin told the world. It turns out the dictator had other plans, presumably none of which took into account the resolute defense now being staged by the Ukrainian people.

    Bob Maginnis, a senior fellow for national security at the Family Research Council, points out the Russians continue to be bogged down by that stiff Ukrainian resistance.

    "You have mixed in with some of the [Russian] regulars a lot of one-year conscripts who can't do anything right. I mean, they're just very poor," Maginnis says of the Russian military. "The tactics that we've seen have been dismal – their supplies are not keeping up, their soldiers aren't being fed, their fuel isn't keeping up. And the Ukrainian special forces know that – so they're going behind lines and really causing havoc for the Russians."

    Victor Akhterov is Far East Broadcasting Company's director for Eurasia. He confirms those dismal tactics are taking a toll on the Russian troops…..

    This is good news for Ukraine. It seems that their population is all in on collectively defeating Russia’s war of aggression. The description of things on the Russian side is interesting and goes into detail well beyond what is provided above. The heroic fight of the Ukrainian people is documented as well.

    Stories of civilians pressed into action in defense of their nation standing toe to toe against the Russian Army regulars is heartwarming and a reminder of our own fight for independence.

    Like that female member of the Ukrainian Parliament . A widow who lost her husband to Russia in 2014 who took out a Russian tank with a shoulder fired weapon. The sheer will of those people is simply awe inspiring.

    For every soldier with a gun on the front lines needs a handful of others supporting him, making sure he has bullets to fire, food to eat, water to drink, clothing to wear, etc etc.

    The 200,000 Russians aren’t 200,000 front line soldiers. Only a fraction of that is, and that number is getting decimated by this point, hence the reason why Russia is having Syrians and potentially Belarus joining in, including asking for help from China.

    Meanwhile every Ukrainian soldier can be a front line soldier, reinforced by hundreds of thousands more volunteers who are training and learning very quickly, with an endless flow of materials flowing in and 30 million civilians doing all the little things they need to keep going.

    Russia in this sense, is extraordinarily outmanned. And outsupplied.

    JAVELIN is a revolutionary weapon. There is nothing else like it in the world. Ukrainians + JAVELIN = VICTORY.

    I just think it's funny to watch all the anti-gun liberals suddenly find their admiration for firearms...

    The Warsaw Ghetto is my go to story for Gun Ownership. If you give your guns away to the Government you might as well grant them Give them Title to your Syphinctar and Butt Cheeks so they can record it at the Property Records Office. I just saw the NATO countries devolve into Fascism for no reason other than to satisfy the ego of Corporate Left-Wingers and Conservatives. I have no interest in anything they have to say.

    Oh I don't know, I'd call it a pretty appropriate use, since they have many different uses.

    Aah…one of you had to spoil it, didn’t you…! :no::roll:

    Why do you think ‘anti-gun’ has to equate with ‘defending your homeland’…?? :roll::roll:

    What absolute tripe…! There are appropriate times/places to use deadly weapons….like defending your homeland from a foreign army…!!

    But, to take a trip to the supermarket?……….maybe not so much…….

    I just saw a video of the Russians blow an entire building with a Hypersonic Bomb.
    https://citizenfreepress.com/breaking/zelensky-refuses-ultimatum-to-surrender-mariupol/

    Parts of Kiev are already wiped out. Russians are releasing the Kraken right now. Additional Supplies, Troops, and Vehicles inbound.
    https://liveuamap.com/en/2022/20-march-the-video-from-a-security-camera-of-the-retroville

    It looks like the Ukrainians executed 2 turncoats for the Russians. Now that the Russians are taking command, it looks like more people are going over to the Russian Side. Chinese are sending supplies to Russia right now.

    It looks like Biden is enlisting Trump Officials to help with China Policy lol. He plagiarized the Semiconductor Manufactory Plan. It looks like Diaper Boys wants to also keep his oil and NG reversal on the down low, or maybe he really is going to yell at the for gas prices lol. He still needs to be able to mine for precious metals if he wants to make this plan happen. At least Diaper-Boy is maybe making some progress, but he should just step down. Let Trump take over for him. Diaper Boy has already pawned off many of the man's accomplishments. He might as well just get of President Trump's way.

    Don't you think it would be easier to use a gun to defend your Homeland if you grew up using them and we're familiar with them and didn't just shoot one for the first time two weeks ago?

    Do you think no one ever needed to avail themselves of the most appropriate weapon for self-defense when going to or coming from or at the grocery store?

    It would take too long to explain the difference between a Ukrainian soldier shooting at Russians military and an American shooting at innocent civilians.

    It would take too long to explain much of anything about America's gun culture to a Canadian.

    Some might be civilians, but majority of Ukrainian men are military trained because they have conscription too.

    No, it's pretty simple.

    For you, human life is less important than 2A.

    Maybe the problem is that you don't understand their argument about the matter, which has nothing to do with national defense. Ukraine has very strict gun laws, but of course that does not mean they won't arm their reserves when the nation is attacked.

    Do you live in a place where you're likely to be attacked all the time?

    That must be awful.

    Ever thought about moving to a place where you don't need a gun to feel safe?
