[The report says: “Russia’s attempt to achieve a speedy and decisive victory in the Donbas has not yet succeeded. They are still grinding forward, gaining 1-2km a day.

“The Russians are now achieving what successes they have mostly by means of a slogging match with repeated, very costly, infantry attacks reminiscent of 1945 not 2022.

Obsessed Putin apparently believes a Donbas victory is close but Russia’s advances are glacial compared to the speed the Kremlin had anticipated.]

The incompetence of the “military experts” is astonishing. What is the difference between 1945 and 2020 according to their book? Did any of them participate in a war between industrialized nations, with hundreds of thousands troops involved over a front of 500 miles? And the narrative is coming from Milley and his flying monkeys, defeated by goat herders no less.

DM assumes Russia is a democratic country where public pressure influences policy.
Putin will grind out a victory cause that’s how he holds power.

Globohomo keeps acting like it controls the flow of information, yet it doesn’t.

More fairytales from the MSM. They’ve only been posting these Russia doom stories since 2/24/22.

If Russia continues to lose like this pretty soon they will control the whole country!

If you repeat the same lie enough times people will start to believe it is the truth.

LOL!

UK blabber mocks the very tactical “slow grind” that is defeating them. No one is advancing anything or anywhere in UKR, but Russia.

The corrupt UKR government, the UKR ARMY and the Azov Nazi Battalion are on their knees.

When Kisenger says it, ya’ know it’s over.

Western Media suppresses all reports but for their own. No wonder we observers have lingered in the dark.

Biden runs a bad game by way of Victoria Nuland, at State.
War always enriches the powerful. Not us.

It’s a sharp contrast to mighty US forces that spent a month overcoming the fierce defenses of the tiny island of Grenada in operation “Urgent Fury”.

That was the last victory, over thirty years ago.

It seems that every new story that relies on unnamed sources is that the Russians are getting humiliated and slaughtered everywhere. It seems that every verifiable fact (like territory taken / lost) is that Russia is taking major cities after massive casualties on the Ukraine side.

It's almost as if the news is trying to convince us all of something.

Two months ago I watched a YouTube video where the guy predicted Russia’s tactics. He said they were going to surround the Ukrainian army, shutting off their escape and resupply routes. Like magic, this is what is currently unfolding.

So this really is not a surprise .

I know someone over there... they say the Russians are methodical in moving forward and in their destruction...

They are also saying that they are merciless on civilians who don’t evacuate as they approach...

They are saying the Ukrainian army fights valiantly... but are just overmatched...

I have no love for either side... but feel for the call civilians caught in the middle...

One report said that the Russian tactic is always the same

Four or five hours of artillery and then assault. The assault frequently leads to slaughter of the attackers

So far, the gains are minimal at a very high cost says the report.

These are the same confidential UK sources who used to trash the US operations in Iraq.
