MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the military operation in Ukraine had gained positive momentum and that he hoped his soldiers would deliver more wins after Russia claimed control of the eastern Ukrainian salt-mining town of Soledar. Russia’s Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine has triggered one of the deadliest European conflicts since World War Two and the biggest confrontation between Moscow and the West since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. Russia said on Friday that its forces had taken control of Soledar, a rare success for Moscow after months of battlefield reverses. "The dynamic is positive," Putin told Rossiya 1 state television when asked about the taking of Soledar. "Everything is developing within the framework of the plan of the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff."

So, is your position that DC/Galician nazis/Schumer/Church closing Zelinsky/Biden/McCain/Trudeau/Merkel/Soros etc.... are the side of Christ?

And the side rebuilding Soviet, ISIS, and accident destroyed Churches as fast as they can in Russia, Syria, wanting to help restore Notre Dame etc is ... the devil?

Warped. The kingdom of trannies and homosexuality, flying the gay flag is “Christ” and the nation forbidding homo recruitment for kids is the Devil.

Interesting.

This stuff ain’t hard to find…

Russia drafted an old man with diabetes, a 17-year-old, and people with no training to fight in Ukraine, reports say — a sign of desperation

A Russian/Belarusian S-300 Air Defense Unit was spotted on the move earlier this week in the Belarusian City of Brest almost directly on the Border with Poland.

LOL, Russia is stuck fighting now 10 months in Ukraine with only incremental advances, and you think they can also take on Poland? Delusional

This war is going well for shareholders of military equipment manufacturers around the world. Otherwise, not so much.

And this is not the first time for that.

"Poland is about to learn that poking the bear has consequences"

Does Russia have enough pride to teach Poland a lesson, or will Russia only humiliate itself by doing nothing more than feebly beating its sunken chest towards Poland? ;D

Currently the number is well over 109,000 dead and at least 218,000 wounded. Only 4,900,000 more dead to go before Russia may negotiate on even terms, historically.

One estimate has Wagner losing 4,000 dead and another 10,000 there. That’s just Wagner - doesn’t count the cannon fodder old men and boys from Luhansk and Donetsk they use as human shields or bullet magnets.

Why? You wouldn’t like it or believe it anyway - just reputable US and international media with no links to Putin.

Correct - the LNR/DNR conscripts were ‘press ganged’ into service right off the streets - even wheelchair and other handicapped. Directed into frontal assaults on strongholds by their Russian officers, they were slaughtered, their bodies left where they fell, and never counted.

That open-ended question was meant to provoke Freppers’ analytical, discerning minds. Sorry, you guessed wrong with regard to my opinion.

Understanding what this world is all about is a task that never ends. Here is an extremely long but thought-provoking video (5+ hour video) by an Aussie named Altiyan Childs who believes he has it figured out. It seems to me he is on to something.
