Ukraine’s victory is closer than ever – but a shattered Russia is nothing to celebrate
The Telegraph via Yahoo ^ | September 3rd, 2023 | Daniel Johnson

The Russians are losing their war on Ukraine. They just don’t know it yet.

Many armchair generals ignore that fact. Putin is stronger than ever, they say. Even if his invasion failed to conquer Ukraine, the crushing burden of war cannot be sustained indefinitely by its defenders, we are told. And even if they do hold out, the Western democracies are already tiring of their role in providing military and financial lifelines to Kyiv while sanctioning Russia.

Or so the “realists” say – though such arguments are often indistinguishable from appeasement or defeatism.

The Western media has been filled with stories quoting unnamed US or other Western officials about how the Ukrainian counter-offensive is stalling, criticising their strategy and tactics.

Last week at an EU summit in Spain, the Ukrainian Foreign Minister, Dmytro Kuleba, told these critics to “shut up, come to Ukraine and try to liberate one square centimetre by themselves”. They were “spitting in the face of the Ukrainian soldier who sacrifices his life every day”, he said.

Putin is Hitler

Russia is corrupt

Ukraine will prevail because they have righteous cause

Ukraine is not anywhere near a victory. This author means NATO’s victory using the blood of Ukrainians. Problem is, they are losing.

Neocons are full of lying excrement. Congress is going to be asked to send more tax dollars to this debacle. That is why the lies have gone full tilt.

---- "Putin is Hitler Russia is corrupt Ukraine is the embodiment of virtue and has the Great Man Z"

There seems something like your view to revisit....

"The ‘PUTIN-Biden-Clinton-Obama’ cartel did used Ukraine as a FRONT to stage their money-laundering by using Russian agents embedded BY PUTIN in the Ukraine government: Ukrainian deep-state!

President Zelensky is still trying to remove Ukraine CORRUPT “deep state created by Putin!”

Source: https://freerepublic.com/focus/chat/4176363/posts?page=52#52

So you see Putin is in charge of Russia, has been in charge of the deep state in Ukraine (per the 20 August 2023 testimony), in charge of the United States via the Biden administration, including other Democrats such as Obama and Clinton, and of course our very own deep state....

We may never know the truth about this conflict. All propaganda all the time.

Summary: Putin is Hitler

Aw, come on! Willy-nilly invading neighboring countries and stealing their land doesn't make him Hitler!

Russia is corrupt

True - but irrelevant.

Ukraine is the embodiment of virtue and has the Great Man Z

Untrue - but likewise irrelevant.

Ukraine will prevail because they have righteous cause

Their cause (defending their homeland against foreign invaders) is righteous - but the real reason is that Russia must not be allowed to be victorious!

Regards,

This childish nonsense is all one needs to know about the state of mind of our leading Ukraine propagandists.

Russia is not and will not be "shattered"

Neocons are full of lying excrement.

You think that using the word 'neocon' often enough, will make you more credible. Why not just make your points without resorting to labels or name calling? Afraid you'll lose the argument otherwise?

The Russians are not losing— they are outlasting, as they have done many times in history. Pouring money down the rathole of corrupt little Zelenskys will not change this. See: New Zelensky escape mansion built in Egypt. Egypt?! Whaaaa?
