How do you say "ideal husband" or "Mr. Right" in Chinese?

ANSWER: 如意郎君 (여의낭군) literally means "ideal (如意) husband (郎君)."

But in Chinese, (대) can mean "right" or "correct," so for "Mr. Right," I was wondering this morning why the Chinese don't just say "對先生 (대선생)," which literally means "Mr. Right."

Well, after wondering that, I decided to search for 對先生 on YouTube and found the following video. And for "Miss Right"? What about 對小姐 (대소저)?

What is a good drinking song?

ANSWER: Well, I like this one.
   

저 먼바다로 떠나던 배
바다의 끝을 향하고 있었지
바람이 뱃머릴 삼키니
오 바람아 더 불어라

우릴 구할 보급선이
설탕과 럼주를 가져와
고래잡이를 마치면
다시 떠날 거야

배가 떠남 후 며칠 뒤
모습을 드러낸 고래
선장은 크게 외쳤지
내가 고래를 잡고야 말겠어

우릴 구할 보급선이
설탕과 럼주를 가져와
고래잡이를 마치면
다시 떠날 거야

Da da da . . . 

선원들이 물에 닿기도 전에
고래의 꼬리는 배를 때리고
쏟아지는 작살을 피해
고래는 잠수했지

우릴 구할 보급선이
설탕과 럼주를 가져와
고래잡이를 마치면
다시 떠날 거야

자율 잃은 슬픈 고래
나쁜 마음은 아니었어도
선장은 결국 고랠자고
고래는 배를 끄네

우릴 구할 보급선이
설탕과 럼주를 가져와
고래잡이를 마치면
다시 떠날 거야

Da da da . . .

수많은 날이 흐르고
줄은 풀렸다 조였다
남은 선원도 적지만
고래는 배를 끄네

우릴 구할 보급선이
설탕과 럼주를 가져와
고래잡이를 마치면
다시 떠날 거야

아직도 그들의 싸움은
끝없이 흘러간다네
보급선은 종종 찾아가
그들을 지켜보지

우릴 구할 보급선이
설탕과 럼주를 가져와
고래잡이를 마치면
다시 떠날 거야

우릴 구할 보급선이
설탕과 럼주를 가져와
고래잡이를 마치면
다시 떠날 거야

What does 提筆忘字 (제필망자) literally mean?

ANSWER: "Lift () a pen () [and] forget () the character ()." In other words, "Chinese amnesia."

Writing Chinese characters reminds me of the old saying, "If you don't use it, you lose it." In other words, if you do not write Chinese characters regularly, you will forget how to do it, and this applies even to the Chinese, who, by the way, created the Chinese saying.

Reading Chinese characters and typing them using a computer keyboard are different from writing them by hand. Writing them by hand is harder.

What color is a good friend?

 ANSWER: usually bright red, dark brown, or black

The Chinese word for "good friend" is 好朋友 (호붕우). The character (호) means "good," and 朋友 (붕우) means "friend." But I have read that 好朋友 (호붕우) is also Chinese slang for a woman's "menstrual period."

What does the Chinese phrase 中菜西吃 (중채서흘) literally mean?

ANSWER: "Chinese food (中菜), Western eating (西吃)," which can translate as "to eat Chinese food in the Western way."

That would usually mean that instead of having communal dishes in the center of the table that everyone eats from by using their chopsticks, each person would have his or her own plate or bowl and serving utensils would be used to transfer the food from the communal dishes at the center of the table to each person's own plate or bowl. That way people could avoid sharing spit with each other.

Thursday, June 02, 2022

What is the Chinese word for "lunch"?

ANSWER: 中飯 (중반), which literally means "middle (中) meal (飯)."

The Korean word for "lunch" is 점심 (點心), which literally means "dot (點) heart (心)." I don't usually eat "dot hearts." In China, 點心 (점심) is a kind of dumpling that the Chinese pronounce as "dim (點) sum (心)."

Besides "teacher," what does the Chinese word 先生 (선생) mean?

ANSWER: husband

And what does a good wife do for her husband?
ANSWER:
她每天給她先生做早飯 (타매천금타선생주조반)
"She (她) everyday (每天) for (給) her (她) husband (先生) makes (做) breakfast (早飯)."

And here is me just being silly: 

Where have all the good women gone?
And where are all the goddesses?
Where's my kitchen Aphrodite,
To cook and clean for me?
Isn't there a beauty with spatula and pan?
I look at my dirty kitchen
And dream of what I need.
I need a housewife.

Friday, May 20, 2022

What is the Chinese word for "flattery"?

ANSWER: 馬屁 (마비), which literally means "horse (馬) farts (屁)," though in China 屁 (비) can also mean "butt." Why?

Because in China (비) is also used as an abbreviation of 屁股 (비고), which is the Chinese word for "butt," though it literally means "farting (屁) thigh (股)." That suggests that the Chinese consider the "butt" to be part of a person's thighs, the farting part.
 

Thursday, May 19, 2022

What is the Chinese word for "tiger"?

ANSWER: 老虎 (노호), which literally means "old (老) tiger (虎)."
兩隻老虎 (양척노호), 兩隻老虎 (양척노호)
Two old tigers, two old tigers
跑得快 (포득쾌), 跑得快 (포득쾌)
Running fast, running fast
一隻沒有耳朵 (일척몰유이타), 一隻沒有眼睛 (일척몰유안정)
One of them with no ears, one of them with no eyes
眞奇怪 (진기괴), 眞奇怪 (진기괴)
Very strange, very strange
    

I am trying to teach myself to read Chinese books and writings using Korean pronunciations instead of Chinese. Why? Because I already know the Korean pronunciations of many Chinese characters and do not want to spend the time to also learn the Chinese pronunciations. If I wanted to learn to speak Chinese, then I would need to learn Chinese pronunciations, but since I only want to learn to read Chinese, I think I can skip Chinese pronunciations and just focus on Chinese grammar. 

 It took me decades to learn to speak Korean, and I do not have decades left to also learn to speak Chinese. 

 Koreans used to write in literary Chinese, and a majority of Korean words are Sino-Korean, which means they are formed from Chinese characters, so by learning to read Chinese I am hoping that I will also learn more about the Korean language. If I were a young man, I would be interested in learning to speak Chinese, but I am no longer a young man.

At least 918 Russian tanks have either been destroyed or captured in Ukraine in the past 62 days. That averages out to about 15 destroyed or captured Russian tanks a day. I have read that Ukraine now has more tanks on the battlefield than Russia does thanks to all the captured Russian tanks.

I wonder why the Russians did not respond. Were they all taking a bathroom break? No ammunition? Were the tanks abandoned?

Does the Biden Administration want Ukraine to drive the Russian invaders out of Ukraine?

ANSWER: No! Driving the Russian invaders out of Ukraine does not seem to be the "policy objective" of the Biden Administration. Their objective is to protect NATO, and they seem willing to sacrifice Ukrainians to do it.

In the following interview, when asked directly if the U.S. policy objective right now was "for Ukraine to defect Russia," the Deputy National Security Advisor for the Biden Administration said the following:
So, I can say our objective is to continue to enable the types of activity that allowed the Ukrainians to win a victory in the battle for Kyiv. Russia intended to take over the capital of Ukraine, to topple the Ukrainian government. The Ukrainians won that battle. We think that exact approach is going to be the way we follow through in the battles ahead, now focused on the south and the east.

After hearing that very vague response, the reporter asked again, "By that logic, is the broader policy goal to see Ukraine defeat Russia writ large?"

The response from the Deputy National Security Advisor was the following:

In our view, Russia has already lost, has already lost many of its initial war aims. They have intended to divide the West. They have resulted in a West and a NATO alliance that is much more united than it's ever been. They thought that they would unsettle, and undermine, and maybe even overthrow the Ukrainian government. President Zelenskyy is firmly entrenched in power and the Ukrainian democracy continues. Russia is more isolated in the world. Its economy is weaker. They are failing at virtually every one of their initial objectives. And our objective is going to be to continue that trend.
"Russia has already lost"? What does that mean? That means that the Biden Administration does not really care if Russians stay in Ukraine as long as they do not invade NATO-member countries. In other words, the policy goal of the Biden Administration is to protect NATO, not Ukraine, and by dragging out the fighting in Ukraine for as long as possible they hope not only to weaken the Russian military but also keep them too distracted to think about invading NATO-member countries.

In summary, the Biden Administration and NATO are essentially using the blood of Ukrainians to protect NATO and the United States, which I think is shameful.

Only when Ukrainians are on the verge of driving the Russian invaders out of Ukraine will the spineless Biden Administration suddenly change its "policy objective" to one of Ukraine driving out the Russian invaders.
  

What does the Russian military think is an important military target in Ukraine?

ANSWER: A hair salon.

How is the "Ukrainian Tank Girl" doing?

ANSWER: She seems to be doing all right, though I can't understand what is being said in the Ukrainian news report.

Has Democrat Chris Coons finally said something that makes sense?

ANSWER: Yes! Biden's sending in the U.S. military to save the Ukrainians from being murdered, tortured, raped, and even exterminated by Putin's solders is the only thing that will help Democrats in November, especially if the Republicans just keep talking about Hunter Biden and Hillary Clinton.

Ukraine is not Afghanistan. The Ukrainians want us there to help them drive out the invading Russians. Screw Germany and NATO if they don't want to help. If the United States sends U.S. troops into Ukraine, I think Poland and other countries that are also threatened by Putin will also send troops. If Putin is not stopped now, he will just continue killing and raping Ukrainians until there are no Ukrainians left to kill and rape. Then he will go on to the next country, probably Moldova or even Poland.

Biden needs to take some time off from his weekly vacations to Camp David and his home in Delaware to find Ukraine on a map and then to watch news reports about what is going on there. The United States and Europe seem to be making the same mistake with Putin that they made with Hitler.

Also, sending U.S. troops into Ukraine to stop Putin would send a strong message to Communist China not to follow Putin's lead by invading Taiwan.

But do I think Biden is smart enough to do any of this? Hell no! He is the genius who screwed up our withdrawal from Afghanistan and who is letting anyone from around the world, including criminals and terrorists, come into the United States illegally through our southern border. And Biden is also the genius who essentially invited Putin to invade Ukraine by saying beforehand that the United States would not do anything to stop him.
 

Is this photo of a Ukrainian tractor pulling the Russian ship "Moskva" (Moscow) real?

How many generals does Russia have left?

ANSWER: I'm not sure, but the man in this video says that the eight Russian generals killed in Ukraine represent about 30% of Russia's generals.
 

Why is the Biden Administration not talking about winning the war in Ukraine?

ANSWER: I don' know, and neither does Ret. Lt. General Ben Hodges, the former commanding general of the U.S. Army in Europe, who thinks that the Biden Administration should be talking about winning the war in Ukraine and doing more to make sure that happens. The general says that the weapons the Biden Administration is sending to Ukraine is not enough, and he wonders what the objective of the United States is in Ukraine.

General Hodges:
I would say that I do not hear the Administration talking about "winning." I'm reluctant to say that the Administration doesn't want them to win, but what needs to be stated is what is our objective, the United States'. You know we are not just observers cheering for Ukraine here. This is about democracy across Europe and stopping an autocracy. And, of course, the Chinese are watching. So, there are implications well beyond Mariupol or even Kyiv. And so, if the United States were to say, "We want to win," that means all Russian forces back to pre-24-February, all Ukrainians who have been deported brought back home immediately, a long-term commitment to the full restoration of Ukrainian sovereignty--that means Crimea and Donbas. And then finally breaking the back of Russia's ability to project power outside of Russia: to threaten Georgia, to threaten Moldova, to threaten our Baltic allies.

Who is now the leader of the free world?

ANSWER: Ukrainian President Zelenskyy. He seems to be the only leader of the free world who is actually leading.
 

What is it like to be a member of a Ukrainian tank crew?

ANSWER: Watch the following videos to get an idea.
 

Saturday, April 16, 2022

Has another Russian general been killed in Ukraine?

 ANSWER: Yes, according to an article HERE.

If true, it would mean eight Russian generals have been killed in Ukraine in the past 51 days. That would average out to about one dead Russian general every six days.

Here is a video that mentions the death of Russian's 8th general in Ukraine, which means that Russia has lost about 30% of its generals to the war in Ukraine.

Why won't Germany give Ukraine "heavy weapons"?

ANSWER: Good question.
 

Who does Lt. General Kellogg (retired) suggest you bet on in the Ukraine war?

ANSWER: Ukraine
 

Why does Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy Feel Like Bill Murray in the movie "Ground Hog Day"?

ANSWER: Because world leaders keep asking him questions that he has already answered.

Why have world leaders asked President Zelenskyy questions that he has already answered? Because they were stalling for time. President Zelenskyy had asked for weapons to defend Ukraine from Putin's invasion, but world leaders were afraid to give him the weapons he needed, fearing what Putin might do. The world leaders were hoping that Ukrainians would just surrender to Putin, which would have allowed them to ignore Zelenskyy's request for weapons, but when Ukrainians did not surrender, world leaders were forced to pretend they did not hear his request for weapons the first time.

Here is what President Zelenskyy said in a recent interview with "The Atlantic":
When some leaders ask me what weapons I need, I need a moment to calm myself, because I already told them the week before. It's Groundhog Day. I feel like Bill Murray.

World leaders, including U.S. President Joe Biden, have been slow to give President Zelenskyy the weapons he needs to stop Putin from killing Ukrainians, and that dithering by world leaders has frustrated the Ukrainian president.

Can you get arrested for holding up a blank piece of paper in Russia?

ANSWER: Yes, and you can also get arrested for holding up a copy of the Russian novel "War and Peace."

Putin has managed to create a Russian-speaking North Korea, and it seems Communist China is on the path to creating a Chinese-speaking North Korea. What surprises me is that India also seems to want to join the Putin club.

Totalitarianism is alive and well, and the new dictators of the 21st century seem to be trying awfully hard to match the brutality of those of the 20th century. Hitler, Stalin, Mao, and Mussolini seem to have been reincarnated, and Europe and the United States seem not to have learned the lessons of the 20th century. We should be giving Ukrainians everything they need to defeat Putin, and we should have given it to them weeks or even months ago.

What makes all of this even worse is that the so-called "Leader of the Free World" is mentally incompetent.
 

Did the Russians shell a Russian village, killing 7, in order to blame it on Ukraine?

ANSWER: That's what an intercepted Russian phone conversation revealed.

  • Russian Fuel Tanks: 76
  • Russian Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs): 135

Were there nuclear warheads on the Russian guided missile cruiser "Moscow," which was sunk by 2 Ukrainian missiles?

ANSWER: The following video reports that some people are wondering if there were nuclear warheads on the Russian ship "Moscow" when it sank. Also, the video reports that Ukraine claims that the captain of the Russian ship was killed during the attack.
 

Are countries finally starting to realize that you cannot trust the Russia government?

ANSWER: Yes, that is the way it seems.
 

Do Ukrainian soldiers still have a sense of humor?

ANSWER: Apparently, they do. The photo is referring to the fact that Ukrainian farmers have been hauling away abandoned or destroyed Russian tanks and military vehicles in Ukraine to be reused or sold for scrap. The photo was taken from HERE.

Actually, I have noticed that Ukrainian soldiers seem to have a very good sense of humor and enjoy mocking the many failures of their Russian invaders.

Has Russia's Defense Minister Suffered a Heart Attack of an unnatural cause?

ANSWER: That's the rumor. And I wonder if 20 Russian generals will soon also suffer heart attacks of unnatural causes.

Is Putin's invasion of Ukraine still "going according to plan"?

ANSWER: Only if Putin's plan was to have 20,000 Russian soldiers killed, including 7 Russian generals, and thousands of military vehicles and aircraft captured or destroyed, including about 740 Russian tanks, 2,000 armored combat vehicles, 150 aircraft, and 140 helicopters. And was it Putin's plan to have the Russian guided missile cruisier "Moskva" (Moscow), the flagship of his Black Sea fleet, sunk by two Ukrainian missiles? 
 



What does an attack on a Russian military column look like?

ANSWER: Like what is happening in the video below.

The video below was attained from the 14th Separate Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian armed forces on April 13, which was the same day that Russia lost a guided missile cruiser to Ukrainian missiles, so April 13 was apparently not a good day for the Russian invaders.
 

Are there any good articles on the U.S. and NATO's cowardly response to Putin's invasion of Ukraine?

 ANSWER: Yes, this is a pretty good article: "As Ukraine burns, West fights low-risk proxy war."

Is it hard for the Russians to hide their invading military vehicles in Ukraine?

ANSWER: Yes, the Russians seem to be having a hard time hiding their invading military vehicles from Ukrainian attacks.
 

Wednesday, April 13, 2022

Have the Ukrainians hit the Russian flagship for the Black Sea Fleet with 2 cruise missiles?

 ANSWER: That is what is being reported HERE and HERE.

The Russian guided missile cruisier Moskva (Moscow) was supposedly hit by two Ukrainian cruise missiles sometime today (April 13). The ship has supposedly sent out a Morse Code SOS saying that it is sinking and that the crew have been evacuated. If the crew of nearly 500 have indeed been evacuated, then that would imply that they have given up on trying to save the ship from sinking.

If all of this is true, then Ukraine will have to update the number of Russian ships sunk from 7 to 8.

UPDATE: According to some sources, as reported by the Daily Mail HERE, this is what happened to the Russian guided missile cruisier Moskva (Moscow):

According to those sources, Moskva was sailing in the Black Sea between the Ukrainian port cities of Odesa and Mykolaiv when it was targeted on Wednesday evening.

Ukraine reportedly used Turkish-made Bayraktar drones to distract the ship's missile defences, allowing two Neptune missiles fired from a coastal battery to sneak through.

They struck the ship on the port side, the sources claimed, causing it to partially roll over. Choppy conditions at sea combined with the roll meant the ship began taking on water.

Due to fears that the ship's ammunition could detonate, the Moskva was evacuated and has now sunk, the sources added.

ANSWER: Rape Ukrainian women.
 

Should Russian soldiers eat pies given to them in Ukraine?

ANSWER: Sure! It is hard to resist a nice hot pie. But I would avoid any poisonberry, I mean, boysenberry pies.

Did Putin "plan" to lose 20,000 troops and more than 700 tanks during his "military operation" in Ukraine?

ANSWER: If he did, then he planned for his "military operation" to be a disaster.
  • Russian soldiers killed: 19,800, up from 19,300 just 3 days ago, which means that 500 more Russian soldiers have died in the past 3 days
  • Russian Tanks Destroyed: 739, up from 722 just 3 days ago

What do Ukrainians do after they destroy 5 Russian tanks?

ANSWER: They take a break and take some video of the tanks they destroyed.

The Ukrainians have so far destroyed or captured 725 Russian tanks and 1,923 combat armored vehicles, which makes me wonder why Putin keeps sending the Ukrainians more Russian tanks and armored vehicles to destroy?

Russia supposedly has 12,000 tanks, which would mean that the Ukrainians have already destroyed more than 6 percent of Russia's total tank force. Will Putin keep sending Russian tanks into Ukraine until he has none left?

How many Russian soldiers has Putin sacrificed in Ukraine as of April 10, 2022?

ANSWER: 19,300 Russian soldiers have been killed in Ukraine since Putin's forces invaded on February 24, 2022. I wonder how many Russian soldiers will have been killed in Ukraine by the time of Russia's May 9th parade, still a month away. 40,000?

Here are the number of men and equipment Russia has lost in Ukraine since its February 24th invasion. Russian POWs are not listed since Ukraine does not seem to be reporting POW numbers anymore.

  • Russian soldiers killed: 19,300, up from 18,600 just 4 days ago, which means that 700 more Russian soldiers have died in the past 4 days
  • Russian Tanks Destroyed: 722, up from 684 just 4 days ago
  • Russian Combat Armored Vehicles Destroyed: 1,911, up from 1,861 just 4 days ago

  • Russian Fuel Tanks: 76, the same as 4 days ago
  • Russian Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs): 112, up from 96 just 4 days ago

What does Biden Administration BS sound like?

ANSWER: Like what the Biden Administration official is saying in the video below. By the way, "BS" is another way of saying "nonsense," and it is used a lot by people who screw up and then try to make people believe they did not screw up. It is also used a lot by people who try to take credit for something they did not do.
 

Why is Poland worried about invasion? Isn't it a NATO-member country?

ANSWER: Yes, Poland is a NATO-member country, but many in Poland do not seem to trust their NATO membership to protect them, especially after seeing how spinelessly NATO has responded to the invasion of Ukraine. 

NATO seems willing to give Ukraine to Putin in exchange for Putin's promise not to attack NATO-member countries and not to aggravate "climate change" by using nuclear weapons. But what if Putin wants another country after Ukraine, even if it is a NATO-member country? Will the remaining NATO-member countries try to negotiate with Putin again by saying, "Okay, you can have one more country, but you have to promise not to nuke the rest of us."
 

What is NATO's strategy for dealing with Putin's invasion of Ukraine?

ANSWER: To give Ukraine only token military support, which essentially means that NATO is willing to give Ukraine only enough military support to allow it to lose the war more slowly but not enough to allow it to win the war.

Why is NATO's response to Putin's invasion of Ukraine so weak? Because NATO is afraid of what Putin might do if his invasion of Ukraine fails. What does NATO's weak response say about NATO? That NATO is spineless and pretty much useless.

Even if Putin invaded a NATO-member country like Poland, for example, I wonder how much support NATO would give Poland? Would it also be just token support?

When Poland offered to give Ukraine some MIG fighter aircraft, the United States first supported the idea until Poland asked that the aircraft be transferred to Ukraine from a U.S. military base in Germany. That is when the United States suddenly decided that the idea was a bad idea.

Why did Poland not want to transfer the MIGs directly from Poland? Because I think Poland suspected that NATO and the United States would not come to its aid if Putin attacked Poland for transferring the aircraft directly from Poland to Ukraine. The fact that the United States and NATO suddenly changed their minds about giving Ukraine the MIGs is evidence that Poland's suspicions were correct.
 

What is the concept of "Russian World/Peace"?

What do people in the country of Georgia think of Putin?

ANSWER: They don't seem to like him, and many think he is a war criminal. And it seems that many Russians who feel the same way are fleeing Russia for Georgia, which was also invaded by Putin in 2008.
 

How dangerous is it to fly a DJI drone in Ukraine these days?

ANSWER: It looks pretty dangerous. From what I have read, DJI drones signal location, including the location of the pilot, and that allows both the pilot and the drone to be easily targeted.
 

Friday, April 08, 2022

What is "Bayraktar"?

ANSWER: "Bayraktar" is the name of a Turkish-made drone that the Ukrainians have been using quite successfully to destroy the tanks and other military vehicles of the Russians invading Ukraine. The Ukrainians like the drone so much that they have written a song praising it. You need to click the closed captions (CC) button to see the English lyrics of the song.
 

Who are the guys in this video?

ANSWER: The older guys are members of the band Pink Floyd, and the younger guy is Ukrainian Andriy Khlyvnyuk, who is singing the Ukrainian song "The Red Viburum in the Meadow," which was famous 100 years ago when Ukrainian Sich riflemen were defending Ukraine from Russian Bolsheviks.
 

Thursday, April 07, 2022

How are Ukrainians sneaking up on Russian tanks?

ANSWER: I don't know, but they seem to be doing it quite often.

Are the Ukrainians attacking Russian tanks with captured Russian tanks so that the Russians cannot tell friendly from unfriendly? Or are Russian tank crews all sleeping off vodka hangovers from the night before? Anyway, it seems that one of the worst jobs to have in Ukraine these days is "Russian Tank Driver."
   

When you blow up a Russian tank in Ukraine, how close should you be?

ANSWER: Not this close.
 

What is happening in the following video?

ANSWER: Ukrainian troops are supposedly attacking a Russian artillery unit in the Kherson region of Ukraine. Notice how the Russian trucks seem to be driving around in circles to avoid being hit, though they are still getting hit.
 

Who should be President of the United States?

ANSWER: General Jack Keane

Will killing "all the civilians" save the Russian invaders?

ANSWER: No, it will only cause more Russian soldiers to die because Ukrainians will want revenge.

If the Russian soldiers are intentionally killing Ukrainian civilians, one can assume they are killing Ukrainian soldiers instead of taking them captive. So, the Ukrainians may also start killing Russian soldiers instead of taking them captive.

I don't know what it means, but I have noticed that the reported number of Russian POWs in Ukraine has stayed at "600+" for at least a week while the number of Russians killed in Ukraine continues to increase. That might suggest that Russian soldiers are no longer being taken prisoner or that fewer of them are being taken prisoner. 

According to an article HERE, the Russians are not reporting on how many Ukrainians they have taken prisoner, so maybe the Ukrainians have also decided to stop reporting on how many Russians they have taken prisoner.

How many Russian soldiers has Putin sacrificed in Ukraine as of April 6, 2022?

 ANSWER: 18,600 Russian invaders have been killed in Ukraine, up from 18,300 just 2 days ago. That means that in just 2 days 300 more Russian soldiers died in Ukraine.

What did Operator Starsky do on Day 40 of the Ukrainian War?

ANSWER: He answered some questions about himself and the war in Ukraine.
 

How many more Ukrainians must die before Biden gives Ukraine the aircraft and heavy weapons it needs to drive out the Russian invaders?

ANSWER: I suspect that Biden will not give Ukraine the heavy weapons and aircraft it needs to defeat Russia no matter how many Ukrainians die, because not only is Biden incapable of thinking past his nose he also seems insensitive to the suffering of others. Remember that Biden was the halfwit who yanked US troops out of Afghanistan without first getting U.S. citizens safely out of there. If Biden does not even care about the safety of U.S. citizens, why would anyone think he cares about the safety of Ukrainians?

Biden is just a weak, simple-minded, cold-hearted politician who only cares about himself. Biden is not a leader; he is a follower, and right now he is following the weak-kneed Europeans. If the European countries decide to give Ukraine aircraft and heavy weapons, then maybe, just maybe, Biden will follow their lead, but I fear that he might sacrifice the Ukrainians to get an Iran nuclear deal with the support of the Russians. In the meantime, he will just talk and talk and talk, and take lots of naps.
 

How many Russian soldiers have been killed in Ukraine as of April 4?

 ANSWER: 18,300 Russian soldiers have been killed in Ukraine as of April 4, 2022, up from 17,700 on April 1. That means that over the past three days 600 more Russian soldiers were killed in Ukraine.

  • Russian soldiers captured (POWs): Still listed as more than 600
  • Russian soldiers killed: 18,300, up from 17,700 just 3 days ago

Sunday, April 03, 2022

What do war crimes look like?

ANSWER: Like what the Russian army did in Bucha, Ukraine.
 

Have Russians committed war crimes in Ukraine.

ANSWER: Yes, so many that it seems the Russian soldiers might have even been ordered to commit them. Shooting girls and women in the street, for example, and then intentionally running over them with tanks is a war crime, right?
 

Has Putin gone insane?

ANSWER: The following ex-Russan oligarch, who knows Putin quite well, thinks that Putin literally went insane when he realized that Ukrainians were not welcoming his invaders and that that was why he started bombing Ukraine. He says that the only way to stop Putin is with force or with the threat of force. He also says that if Putin wins in Ukraine, NATO countries will be next. 

That means that we cannot let Putin win in Ukraine, which means we need to give Ukraine ALL the weapons it needs to stop Putin.
 

Saturday, April 02, 2022

Are there any stupid people in Australia?

ANSWER: Yes, watch the video below and focus on the woman.

Why is the woman in the video stupid? Because part of her argument for not helping Ukraine fight off Putin's invading army is that it is bad politics since elections in Australia are apparently just around the corner. So, winning an election in Australia is apparently more important to the woman than helping prevent the killing of women and children in Ukraine.

Actually, I think that is one of the reasons Biden is not helping Ukraine more than he is, because he is also thinking about U.S. elections in November.
 

Does Ukraine need modern fighter jets from the U.S. and Europe to win the war in Ukraine?

ANSWER: YES! According to the Ukraine Air Force and the retired U.S. Air Force general in the video below, Ukraine needs modern fighter jets and air defense systems to stop Putin. What the U.S. is giving them now is not enough.

Biden needs to stop thinking of the invasion of Ukraine as an inconvenience and start thinking of it as a strategic opportunity to stop Russia, and China, from considering future invasions. The Ukrainians will stop Putin for us. They do not need U.S. troops in Ukraine to do it; they just need modern U.S. aircraft and heavy weapons, and the United States and Europe need Ukraine to win this war. China is watching.
 

Is Putin getting ready to send more men and equipment into Ukraine to be destroyed?

ANSWER: That's what it looks like. The following video shows a long column of Russian military vehicles in the Belgorod region of Russia that are said to be headed for the Donbass region of Ukraine. I wonder if this time they remembered to put gas in their vehicles before starting their trip.
 

"Why won't President Biden let Ukraine win this War?"

ANSWER: This is what Steve Forbes thinks.
 

What are retreating Russian forces doing?

ANSWER: Planting mines and leaving booby traps behind.
  

Have the Russians been defeated in the region around the Ukrainian capital?

ANSWER: They are Ukrainian lovers separated by the war. Iuliia is the former press secretary of the President of Ukraine, and her fiancé Palvo, an advisor in the Ukrainian Ministry of Energy before the war, is now fighting on the front lines in Ukraine. 
 

Why is Joe Biden refusing to give heavy weapons to Ukraine?

ANSWER: Because Biden is a halfwit who is cowed by Putin. Biden is not leader, not a man of action, not a man of deep thought; he is just a poorly trained parrot, a teleprompter reader.
 

What information did Operator Starsky share today on Day 37 of Putin's invasion of Ukraine?

ANSWER: Watch the video and find out.
 

Are the residents of the Ukrainian village of Nova Basan happy to see Ukrainian troops?

  • Russian Special Equipment Destroyed: 24, up from 21 just 2 days ago
  • Russian Missile Launchers (OTRK/TRK) Destroyed: 4, the same as 2 days ago

What is "one of the Biden Administration's worst nightmares"?

ANSWER: Ukrainians fighting back against Russian invaders, at least according to CNN. 

That would suggest that the Biden Administration wants Ukrainians to just give up and turn over their country to Putin or to at least die slowly without causing Putin too much trouble since that would be more convenient for the Biden Administration.

Actually, I agree with the CNN Analyst, that the Biden Administration is hoping that Ukraine just gives up. That would explain why the Biden Administration is so slow to supply Ukraine with the high-tech weapons it needs to fight off Putin's army.
    

Are Ukrainians good shots with those anti-armor weapons they have?

ANSWER: They seem to be, and their preferred target seems to be Russian tanks.
 

Why does Russia remind me of Disneyland?

ANSWER: Because it seems to be a land of make-believe where most of the people are like little children who believe everything their lying Mickey-Mouse leader tells them. The reality is that their "best-of-the-best" die like all the rest, and they are dying senselessly to fulfill the insane dream of an evil leader.
 

Who is Mrs. Lana?

ANSWER: A Ukrainian woman who works as a custodian at an elementary school here in the United States.
 

Thursday, March 31, 2022

Do lies and propaganda really work?

ANSWER: Apparently it does work in places like Russia and North Korea, where dictatorial governments control the news and the way people act and think and where they punish those who do not act and think the way their dictators want them to act and think. How bad is it in Russia?

Even the parents of young Russian soldiers fighting and dying in the war in Ukraine do not believe their sons are fighting and dying in Ukraine. Even when their sons call their parents and tell them that they are now prisoners of war (POW) in Ukraine, their parents do not believe them and say things similar to the following: "What? You can't be a prisoner of war in Ukraine because there is no war in Ukraine. Stop talking nonsense."

In Russia, you can go to jail or prison for calling the Ukraine War a "war." You can read more about the exodus out of Russia HERE.
 

Was this an interesting interview?

ANSWER: Yes.
 

What happens when Russian soldiers kill Ukrainian civilians?

ANSWER: It angers Ukrainian soldiers and citizens and causes them to fight even more fearlessly.
 

Are the Russians taking untrained kids off the street, giving them a few old rifles, and then sending them to Ukraine to be killed?

ANSWER: That is what the Russian soldiers themselves are saying while they are in the back of a truck going somewhere. They complain that many of them have already been killed and captured by the Ukrainians, and they are angry at those who forced them into this situation. You can read more about the situation HERE.
 

In the video below, a Ukrainian soldier seems to confirm that many of the Russian soldiers they are killing are just kids sent to Ukraine as "cannon fodder," which essentially means that their Russian commanders are just sacrificing them to protect their more trained soldiers.

ANSWER: The Russian POW in the video below says that it is better to be a POW in Ukraine.
 

How many Russian soldiers were either captured or killed outside the Ukrainian village of Mala Rohan?

ANSWER: 120 men at just one Russian camp.
 

Does Biden and his administration want Putin to win the war in Ukraine?

ANSWER: That is what retired General Jack Keane thinks, and I think he is right. Why does the Biden administration want Putin to win the war in Ukraine?

Because the Ukrainian war is inconvenient for Biden, who is more worried about what it might mean for Democrats in November than what it means for Ukrainians now and in the future. Afterall, Biden is basically just a half-wit politician. But the Biden administration is also afraid of what Putin might do if he loses the war. In other words, Biden and his administration are paralyzingly afraid of a possible Putin temper tantrum. That is why Biden was slow to put sanctions on Russia and to supply Ukraine with the hi-tech weapons it needed to repel a Russian invasion. That is also why Biden has drawn his "red line" to exclude Ukraine. Biden to Putin:  "[You can take Ukraine, but] "Don't even THINK about moving on one single inch of NATO territory."

But I suspect that when Putin invades Poland, which is a NATO-member country, Biden will then say, "Okay, you can have Poland, but don't even THINK about invading another NATO country."

However, Ukrainian President Zelensky screwed up Biden's plan to give Ukraine to Putin when he refused to accept Biden's "ride" out of Ukraine.
   

Have Ukrainian forces liberated any more Ukrainian villages today?

ANSWER: Yes, they liberated the village of Kukhari, which is west of Kiev.

  • Special Equipment: 21
  • Missile Launchers (OTRK/TRK): 4
You can see the names and photographs of captured Russian Soldiers HERE.
 

What will Ukrainian soldiers say to Putin's mercenaries?

ANSWER: I suspect Ukrainian solders will greet Putin's murdering mercenaries with the words "Welcome to Ukraine," which is something Ukrainian soldiers sometimes say when they ambush Russian soldiers.

Have Ukrainian forces liberated any more villages from Russian invaders?

ANSWER: Yes, Ukrainian forces are slowly but steadily pushing Russian invaders out of Ukrainian cities, towns, and villages and have recently pushed them out of the eastern Ukrainian village of Mala Rohan.

Are Ukrainian soldiers torturing Russian POWs by shooting them in their legs?

ANSWER: Operator Starsky claims that the videos showing so-called Ukrainian soldiers shooting Russian POWs in their legs is Russian propaganda and explains how you can spot it.

Operator Starsky raises the following questions about the videos: "Why aren't the so-called POWs that were supposedly shot in their legs bleeding? Why are the so-called Ukrainian soldiers wearing uniforms that are popular with the Russia military? Why aren't the so-called Ukrainian soldiers wearing Ukrainian patches and markings, such as the Ukrainian flag patch and the blue armbands that all Ukrainian soldiers wear to distinguish themselves from Russian soldiers? Those seem like good questions, don't they. 

 Also, Chechen warlord and Putin ally Ramzan Kadyrov supposedly traveled to the Ukrainian city of Mariupol where he made a video proving that he and his men were there, but in the background of the video you can see a gas station that has franchises in Russia but not in Ukraine. In other words, the Chechen warlord video is also Russian propaganda.

So, besides not being very good at fighting, it seems that the Russians are also not very good at making propaganda videos.
