The Peanut Gallery: Poll Reveals Ukrainians Remain Resolute Despite Kremlin Slander to the Contrary.
January 9, 2024
Welcome to the Peanut Gallery!! Your daily dose of unfounded speculation.
Please remember that I know nothing.
Yo!
Y’all remember yesterday when I said Russians were turning against Putin’s War? Well check this,
A Ukrainian public opinion survey on Ukrainian attitudes towards the Ukrainian government and military indicates that Ukrainian society overwhelmingly supports Ukraine’s military and its leadership while experiencing tensions typical in a society fighting an existential defensive war.
Hot damn I love me a good contrast. It really helps put things in perspective. Let’s take a look, shall we?
Poll Results:
Support For Ukrainian Armed Forces: 96%
Trust Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief General Valerii Zaluzhnyi: 88%
Trust Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky: 66%
Full disclosure, Zelenskyy’s support last year is down from a high of 84%, which is to be expected. Last year Ukraine liberated Kherson around this time. And there’s been a decline in trust for Ukrainian civil institutions. Fascinatingly, however, there’s been no such decline in trust towards the military, so we can surmise Ukrainian's are still very much willing to continue this fight.
If America is the eagle, United Kingdom the lion, and Russia the bear; then Ukraine is the humble nightingale, whose defiant song heralds the dawn.
Ukrainian Air Force Spokesperson Colonel Yuriy Ihnat reported that Ukraine has a shortage of anti-aircraft guided missiles after several recent large Russian missile and drone strikes against Ukraine.
Fuckin’ aye this God damn shit should be easy, but it ain’t because of those mother fucking pieces of fucking shit-ass broke-dick GOP dumbass assin’-ass stupid mother fuckers in Congress.
Russian ultranationalist vitriolic responses to gender integration in the Ukrainian military highlight Russia's ongoing shift towards a cultural-ideological worldview that seeks to restore rigid and traditional gender roles and exposes gaps between Russia and Ukraine's respective abilities to mobilize their own societies.
Can someone explain misogyny to me? I don’t get it.
If my mother announced to me, she was going off to war I’d first ask, “Holy shit, the recruiter bought that you were twenty-nine?” followed by a desperate, “Please don’t violate the Geneva Convention.” That woman is the most terrifying human I have ever met. If there’s one place, I think she’ll thrive, it’s commanding an artillery battalion. She has the cold, determined fury needed to delete grid coordinates.
So I honestly do not understand how anyone thinks women are incapable of combat. Remember guys. the number one killer of men throughout history isn’t lions, or tigers, or bears. It’s women. Piss them off and they’ll fucking kill you.
Russian sources continue to complain about persistent command and communication problems that degrade Russian combat capability in east (left) bank Kherson Oblast.
Yeah because the Kremlin’s got like fifty different units all glommed together—what the hell did they think was going to happen? That the Vatniks would all hold hands and sing Kumbaya? Delusional, I swear to God. These are the people who rule the world, ladies and gentlemen. There’s no such thing as the Illuminati because humans are too stupid to pull it off.
No word of Russian jets in Kherson today.
The Russian military is reportedly abusing Serbian nationals whom Russian officials have recruited to serve in Russian formations in Ukraine.
Why? Shouldn’t you treat these people nicely to encourage more to come? Hearts and minds.
Well, to any Serbs in the audience (or anyone else stupid enough to volunteer), know that trespassing upon Ukraine carries a death sentence. You’ve been forewarned.
Russian sources are reviving longstanding calls for a large-scale Russian offensive operation in Kharkiv Oblast to create a “buffer zone” with Belgorod Oblast despite the Russian military’s likely inability to conduct an operation to seize significant territory in Kharkiv Oblast in the near term.
Let me get this straight, Kherson Oblast can’t sustain air superiority, Avdiivka is going nowhere, Krynky still exists, and now Putin wants to open another offensive around Belgorod? Is he fucking serious? I’d half-thought the Kup’yans’k thing would be a feint, a chance to gather what he’s got left on home turf and regroup. You know, where folks aren’t throwing molotovs.
I’m actually a little concerned. Putin launched his whole Avdiivka thing smack-dab in the middle of...uh...the worst time possible, and he did it without taking a breath following Ukraine’s offensive. Now he wants to launch something else? I don’t see how he can pull it off. He can’t even take one city, deep in Donetsk. Ukraine’s held Avdiivka for months.
This man is spiraling.
Bloomberg reported that officials from Ukraine, the Group of Seven (G7) countries, India, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and other unspecified countries held a meeting in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on December 16 to build support for Ukrainian conditions to negotiate with Russia.
Ah, good. People are on it.
I take everything back the Illuminati is real.
Russia continues to forcibly deport children from occupied Ukraine under the guise of vacations.
'Q’ For the Community:
Ukrainians seem to be souring on their government a tad, even though they’re firm on Victory. Why do you think this is? I’d love to hear from any Ukrainians.
