Some citizens in Ukraine have stated that they and many thousands of others are prepared to fight Russian forces to the death in an effort to save their country. With tens of thousands of newly-armed Ukrainians with fully automatic rifles, they will still be up against a large country with a large military presence.
Reports of the “Ghost of Kyiv”, a Ukrainian fighter pilot, who is said to have already taken down 6 Russian fighter jets by himself.

I’ve been asked why I have been covering this ongoing crisis in the Ukraine, and the answer is twofold:
- The people of Ukraine need to know that the majority of the world supports them and sees this invasion as unjust, and;
- The United States of America has the upper hand when it comes to invasions, as any land attempt inside our borders would be met with millions of armed and trained citizens who would lock and load, and the guerrilla warfare that would unfold would be unbeatable by any attempting outsiders.
The citizens of Ukraine need the world to be watching, and Putin needs to be held accountable for his actions.
Interesting how the Ukraine govt had very restrictive gun laws, so now when they need an armed citizenry most, the Ukrainian citizens are not trained in the defensive use of firearms their government is now giving them to fight the criminal Russian attack! WHAT FOOLS GUN CONTROL ADVOCATES ARE!!!!!!!
Long live the “Ghost”, May the sun be at his back, and his aim be true.
