“That’s because he is just spewing what his handlers provide him.”
Yes, it must be hard for cranked.
Each day his handlers send him here with information easily proven false.
So day after day he suffers embarrassment and loss of face. Being demeaned like that for months in a row must hurt.
Production capabilities vs current usage rates.
“Russia has refrained from US style shock and awe”
We, this isn’t true since Russia has reduced most cities in the east to absolute rubble. They just can’t shock and awe with missiles because even when they were firing 100 cruise missiles a day at Ukrainian infrastructure, 70 to 80% were still getting shot down. Russia declared victory over Ukraine’s Air power 3 or 4 dozen times but can’t get into Ukrainian air space without losses.
Please stop copying and pasting fake Russian news to post on FR. Think clearly and objectively and you’ll see all the lies you just posted for what they are.
It’s an old saying; long before your time.
“Have you ever spoken to Ukrainians about their incandescent hatred of Russia and Russians?”
And have you spoken to Ukrainians in the four Donbass regions and asked them how they felt/feel about the Nazi-infested ZelenskyyIdiot Regime and that of the US involvement in Maidan in 2014 which then led to those four regions being incessantly shelled and acts of genocide that took place?
Here, let me help you:

Rhetoric, nothing more which is all you have to offer, as par.
“Production capabilities vs current usage rates.”
Links?
Sources?
Cause be assured, I can post a myriad of sources for how the West/US/UK/NATO/EU/Ukraine are running out of stuff, lacking production capabilities, etc. verses what the Russians ARE DOING equipment wise, production wise, industry wise.
Nice try, kid.
BTW: Will you finally just man up and admit you never served in the US military, despite your claiming you did?
You Stolen Valor types don’t go over well with veterans.

My shed blood says otherwise, Airman.
“This war is much clearer if you know anything about military history and tactics.”
Yes, one interesting thing is that most people predicted Ukraine would fall in a couple of weeks. That is because most analysts have PoliSci degrees and spend their time on political and economic analyses.
Military historians were the one group that thought the invasion plan was a disaster. The basic reasoning was “it took Hitler 4 million men to take Ukraine and Stalin 5 million to take it back. Putin is going in with 200K. They are going to be slaughtered.”
“Have you ever spoken to Ukrainians about their incandescent hatred of Russia and Russians?”
I have. I have some Ukrainian neighbors (they’ve been here quite awhile). Their hatred of Russians is hotter than white hot. They supreme insult is to mistakenly call them Russian.
Neither side can sustain the war at the present rate much longer.

Excuse me, the Ukies are on their 8th mobilization including woman, Russia has not even gone to Congress ( Duma) to authorize a full mobilization.
Ukraine is spent, a welfare nation on Western life support.
BTW, the Moscow Times is a genuine opposition newspaper. Is the Russian press freer than the American press?
Great question. Maybe we should ask Anna Politkovskaya that question. Oh, wait. We can’t do that.
They publish in English. That’s not the “Russian press”. But you know that.
“Please stop copying and pasting fake Russian news to post on FR.”
No.
You John Bolton mocking birds stop. I started asking this question a long time ago, and never got one, single, solitary, coherent answer.
On which recent military success story would you have us model this after? Iraq? Libya? Afghanistan? You people are dangerous and what you advocate is of no benefit to *anyone* and this is because you DO NOT KNOW RIGHT FROM WRONG.
You get your jollies pretending you are George C. Scott in an old movie. It’s embarrassing.
“Update on Russian military operations in Ukraine for December 12, 2022.
- Russia continues its war of attrition - focusing on exhausting and overwhelming critical Ukrainian defenses around Bakhmut in eastern Ukraine/western Russia;
- Despite claims that Russian missile stockpiles are depleted, Russia continues carrying out regular, large-scale missile barrages against Ukrainian infrastructure;
- Latest US assistance package for Ukraine continues the trend of dwindling, inadequate support for Ukraine;
- US government procurement numbers over the course of the next 2-5 years indicates that at no time in the near future will the US be capable of producing let alone supplying Ukraine with the number of weapons and ammunition it requires;
- While Russian production data is not available, the fact that Russia’s stockpiles and military were configured for large-scale protracted and intense combat suggests its military industrial output is likewise configured for such demands;
- The Western media is now admitting that Ukraine can neither win, nor is there any moral imperative to ensure that it does...”

Yes?
I know you did not shed no blood.
Fact.
Putinists never admit defeat and believe any gaslighting fairy tales that the Kremlin produces. You can set your watch to this nonsense.
Musk had a great quote yesterday that applies in spades to brainwashed Putinists: “Easy to fool people, but it is almost impossible to convince people that they have been fooled.”
