Why Russia could be winning the war in Ukraine with capture of Luhansk region in Donbas within its grasp
I News (UK Newspaper in Associated Newspapers Limited group) ^ | June 3, 2022 | Taz Ali

Russia could be just two weeks away from achieving one of its stated aims in the conflict in Ukraine, with its troops close to taking over the entire Luhansk region in the east.

The UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) said Russia is now achieving tactical success in the industrial Donbas, comprised of Luhansk and Donetsk, which would give Moscow a high-profile victory.

“Russian forces have generated and maintained momentum and currently appear to hold the initiative over Ukrainian opposition,” the MoD tweeted on Friday in its latest intelligence briefing.

Wait until that new artillery and rocket system come on line. There will not be any Russians or Russian ships left south of Mariopol.

The Russians and Seperatists took most of this territory in 2014-16 and could not hold it then, what makes the Russians think they can hold it now ??

The narrative is starting to change. I guess “Pride Month” cannot have any competition for attention.

But the Orcs did not and have not captured the region. So lets count chickens before they come home to roost - what got the Orcs in the kettle of fish originally.

Let me help the confused:

This is a thing called "war". "Wars" take time, sometimes a long time, for one side or the other to collapse IF they are prepared to fight à outrance.

As is often the case, neither side expected this kind of fight.

Russia expected Ukraine to disintegrate and to be welcomed as liberators. This was foolish.

Ukraine expected "the West", the "international community", the "rules based international order" to ride to the rescue. This was foolish.

The United States expected shutting off Russian's VISA cards and access to OnlyFans would cause them to surrender, and that the former Western colonies would of course side with Ukraine as their former colonial masters commanded them to do. This was ignorant AND foolish.

So, a new international order emerges. The dollar will fall. The debt crisis will accelerate. Instead of RUSSIA being isolated, it is the Empire of Lies, whose capital is Washington DC and whose Eastern border is the Oder (or maybe it will turn out to be the Rhine) which will be isolated.

Maybe some military band in "the West" still has the music to The World Turned Upside Down.

Let's Go, Brandon.

I don't think that there are enough idiots or 'Lord of the Rings' superfans for your constant calling of the Russians "orcs" to be effective propaganda. You can do better PIF.

Don't worry. Your hero Zelensky has already taken Moscow single-handedly. He donned his leathers, put on his pumps, and just danced right on on and took the Kremlin. So adorbs!

Orcs? Really? Shouldn’t we be calling the Russians Morlochs and the Ukrainians Eloi?

Yep, searching I News reveals perfect conformity to the Ukraine (and UK) propaganda narrative, UNTIL YESTERDAY, then all of a sudden, much more objectivity.

Surprise, surprise.

No rest until Odessa and Kharkiv are liberated, Yarosh and Bilestsky are liquidated and the Zelensky regime is toppled.

These CIA Nazis sowed the wind in 2014, now they’ll reap the whirlwind.

The term Orc is associated with your best buddies the Mongols when they invaded Europe.

However, there are enough idiots on FR who being Orc (and jock supporters) get miffed and all hoity-toity when they are triggered.

The shoe fits, wear it.

Actually, the much better analogy is that the Democrats, Soros, Hillary Clinton, Mitt Romney, the Commie Press posing as the MSM, the EU are the actual Orcs.

You know, the group of people you have aligned yourself in this Propaganda driven war.

And you and your ilk pushing this on FreeRepublic are no better than NPC (Non-Playing Characters) who blindly and mindlessly fall for the Propaganda, and continue to Push the Proganda.

Well, it seem you got your bonus from your handlers at the FSB - they are rightfully proud of the disinformation and slander campaign you Pootie lovers are running here and on other forums.

Oh no! He called me an orc! I am so traumatized that I shall die!

Tragic.

In this thing called “War”, taking and holding territory are not the same thing.

Ebb and flow, ebb and flow, where it winds up, nobody know.

(and for you grammar and spelling Nazi’s, I know there should be an “s”, but that doesn’t rhyme so stick it)
