Voice of Ukraine

From: Maia Mikhaluk (947th day)

Colossus on clay feet.

Here is a new argument straight from ruzzian propaganda in an attempt to undermine the West’s determination to continue helping Ukraine – this argument was spoken by an American leader: “…that’s what they (ruzzians) do – they fight wars. They beat Hitler, they beat Napoleon, that’s what they do – they fight.”

Before you buy into this faulty logic, or believe a lie, or worse – repeat a lie, remember your school history lessons, at least on World War II. It was not Ruzzians who beat Hitler. There was an alliance of countries, and there was the second front. Don’t forget that the USA provided materials and financial assistance to the Soviet Union through Lend-Lease equivalent to $180 billion in the 2020 money value.

Besides, the Red Army of the Soviet Union didn’t consist of just ruzzians. Out of 34 million, 8 million were non-Slavic minorities, 7 million – Ukrainians, 1,6 – Belarusians, so at least half of the army was non-ruzzians. By the way, the Soviet Union lost about 14 million soldiers while the German army lost 5 million. The value of life was never high in the Soviet Union! But even with that huge army, the Soviet Union could have lost the war without help of allies. Ruzzians like to claim victory in World War II but it’s not theirs to claim. Please don’t repeat their lies.

As for Napoleon, French forces marched so fast to Moscow that the logistical support was not able to catch up. Faulty logistics in combination with winter weather caused Napoleon’s invasion to fail. It was not courage or strength of ruzzian troops.

Before you believe the lie that ruzzian army is unbeatable, check how well they did in Chechen War in 1994-1996 when attacking a nation of 1,5 million. They were defeated! As they were in Afghanistan war in 1979-1989 and another Afganistan war in 1929, in Winter War against Finland in 1939-1940 (another nation of 3,7 million), Latvian, Estonian, Lithuanian wars for independence in 1918-20, Polish-Soviet War in 1919-1921, Finish war in 1918, Russo-Japanese war in 1904-05. The list can go on and on!

In any case, what kind of logic is that – Ukrainians should give in to invaders because ruzzians won some wars in the past?! If ruzzia attacks the USA demanding Alaska back, will Americans not fight back?

By the way, there was an interesting statement yesterday from an assistant of Hungarian President Orban saying that in case of ruzzian invasion, Hungary would not resist. How ridiculous does that sound!?
