Where? Putin has Crimea for 10 years and there is no indication that Ukrainians will ever get it back. There is no such strategy, planning or capability for Ukrainians to execute it. Putin captured 20% of Ukrainian land. I guess in the sense that Zelenskiy gave all this to Putin, then yes, he is doing an awesome job. |

Very unfair - That happened before he took office . That is Like blaming Biden for Trump’s huge tax cut for the top 1% that resulted in our budget going from healthy surpluses under Obama to huge budget shortfalls under Trump. |

Curious that you didn't include Putin on this list after he sent 315,000 Russians to die and get injured for him. Why is that? https://www.reuters.com/world/us-intelligence-assesses-ukraine-war-has-cost-russia-315000-casualties-source-2023-12-12/ |

Show us what he have done to get the Crimea back. I can help you - nothing. And he will continue doing nothing no matter how many more billions you will send there. |

Because the "a few more billion" has to be authorized by the US Congress. And the GOP in the US Congress is dead set on 1) going on break this week and 2) doing everything it can to help Putin, Xi and other dictators around the world. |

‘Cos I was referring to “your [American] sons and daughters will have to fight” statement by Zelenskyy, Austin, Kirby et al. It’s always our young & poor that get sent to fight while the wealthy & connected get exemptions similar to Rus leaving for UAE, Sunny Isles Beach, Georgia or Ukr leaving for Miami, Monaco, Montenegro It’s always the same story in war. Isn’t that obvious? |

So you were referring to a made-up thing that none of those people actually said? Makes no total sense now. |

My argument doesn’t have a damn thing to do with Trump or manafort. You are insane! Do you think you are sending money to Ukraine to fight MAGA? |

There is absolutely no evidence for this victim blaming take - partly because the Soviets suppressed a lot of info about the Holocaust by bullets in Ukraine. You have some gall - calling out Zelensky for being Jewish as if that diminishes his patriotism and blaming Jews for the Holocaust. Disgusting anti senitism. Truly. The “Holocaust by Bullets” in Ukraine | The National WWII Museum | New Orleans There are several reasons that help explain why the “Holocaust by bullets” and the study of the Holocaust in Ukraine remains a lesser-known aspect of the Holocaust. First, Holocaust Studies only established itself as a field in the 1990s. In the beginning, the field tended to focus on antisemitism within the highest decision-making levels of the Third Reich. Secondly, “Auschwitz syndrome,” or the tendency among historians, philosophers, political scientists, and the general public to focus on the killing centers where an estimated 3 million men, women, and children were gassed and cremated in an industrialized, systematic fashion, also drove scholarship in the early stages of Holocaust Studies. In this way, according to Lower and Brandon, “Auschwitz became the central symbol of modernity derailed, the nadir of Western civilization,” which inevitably led scholars to neglect other places where the Holocaust unfolded in a different way. Third, until 1991, scholars lacked access to the regional archives of the former Soviet Union. During the Cold War, Soviet officials sought to repress most discussions of the unique fate of Jews under Nazi rule. Instead, Soviet scholars examined the suffering of all “peaceful citizens,” which undoubtedly included the destruction of the Jewish population, but also focused on a wide range non-Jewish of victims. According to Wendy Lower and Ray Brandon, “this manifestation of Soviet antisemitism guaranteed that the archives in Ukraine [and other successor states] remained closed until the Soviet Union collapse.” Today, the killing sites in Ukraine are practically undetectable. As Paul A. Shapiro writes, these places “offer up none of the architectural design elements that shape the iconic imagery of the Holocaust memorial sites worldwide—“Arbeit Macht Frei” encased in ironwork, the curve of the arched gateway to Auschwitz-Birkenau, or the chimney of a crematorium.” Many of the Jewish victims murdered by the Nazis remain invisible as well. According to the Central Database of Shoah Victims’ Names kept by the Holocaust Reembrace Center in Yad Vashem, about 50 percent of the Jewish victims of “the Holocaust by bullets,” still remain to be identified. Although there is no “architecture of destruction” at the killing sites in Ukraine, the first Jewish victims of the Holocaust did not simply disappear from the face of the earth, and “the Holocaust by bullets” is crucial to understanding how the Holocaust developed. “For every echelon of the Nazi regime,” the historian Raul Hilberg argues, “the summer months of 1941 mark a transition from uncertainty to certainty” as policies aimed toward the male Jewish population quickly expanded to include entire Jewish communities. Moreover, it was after shooting Jewish victims en mass that the German policy towards Jews took a fateful turn. Mass murder by gunfire took a cumulative toll on German soldiers and proved inefficient in achieving goals aimed at exterminating all Jews. It was the experience and failures of “Holocaust by bullets” that eventually led to the decision to shift to an organized, systematic murder of Jews in the form of industrial extermination camps |
