May 6, 20223 yr Russian Not-zee Girkin doesn't see a path to victory without 5-6x the troops Gonna be tough with all these fires breaking out at recruitment facilities in Russia..
May 7, 20223 yr that isn't even close to what Wali said. But ok. He absolutely said that Ukraine was not well prepared to efficiently arm and deploy the overwhelming number of volunteers that arrived in Ukraine to fight the Russian invaders. He also said part of him wants to go back, but he also has a family to think of. Ukraine didn't throw the volunteers into the fire as cannon fodder like Russia does to its own citizens. So many volunteers returned disappointed at how little front line action they were seeing. Russian propaganda is hilarious.
May 7, 20223 yr Here is the actual interview: https://www.lapresse.ca/actualites/2022-05-06/retour-du-tireur-d-elite-wali/la-guerre-c-est-une-deception-terrible.php Translation: https://www-lapresse-ca.translate.goog/actualites/2022-05-06/retour-du-tireur-d-elite-wali/la-guerre-c-est-une-deception-terrible.php?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp Quotes: But most foreign fighters like him who have gone to Ukraine have come away bitterly disappointed, mired in the fog of war without even having been to the front lines once. They're disappointed because they're not being pressed into action on the front. In the end, it was his family life that won out over his desire to help Ukrainians, says Wali. "My heart feels like going back to the front. I still have the flame. I like the theater of operations. But I pushed my luck. I have no injuries. I think to myself: how far can I roll the dice? I don't want to lose what I have here,” says the young father, who missed his son's first birthday while he was at the front. Wali came back because he had an encounter in which he nearly died (in a warzone, shocking) and he decided he needed the be there for his family. The number of volunteers who showed up – more than 20,000, according to different estimates – was so large that the Ukrainian government had to urgently establish the International Legion for the Territorial Defense of Ukraine on March 6. But for most of the volunteers who showed up at the border, joining a military unit was a hassle. Ukraine was not prepared to deploy the volunteers eager to fight against Russia on Ukraine's behalf, and that lack of preparation caused many to try and find a place in irregular militias. Keep choking on that propaganda though. Maybe Putin will notice your well trained gag reflex and bump you to a European football club's unofficial message board.

But I'm very connected to the Ukrainian community and had multiple Ukrainians in my wedding. So I do care about it a lot. Frankly everyone who values western liberal culture should be clued in to Ukraine.

But there are a LOT of bad guys in Ukraine - a LOT. And it's a hotbed of corruption. Certainly Zelensky himself has no business being the multi millionaire that he is. Western powers should be doing what they can to bring these hostilities to an end, not to stoke them on.

I mean you're really a special kind of stupid if you believe this. There's a reason why we haven't done this already. They're a heavily armed nuclear power.

You will believe anything you are told by the media. People like you during the 80s were freaking out when Reagan wouldn't meet with Soviet leaders.
