I wonder what it says when real news is funnier than comedy. Does the Onion or the Babylon Bee still have a place in the world?

Right, he can’t continue trading the lives of his countrymen for money if he’s defeated.

The Zelenskyites aren’t accepting this defeat lightly. They’ve decided to put their fingers in their ears and shake their heads no, like a spoiled child.

I watched film from yesterday that showed the Wagner Group still doing massive artillery fire into the city.

If they control it, why would they be shelling themselves.

The video also showed Ukrainian military still in the city.

This is tragic, and in a very real way the feckless but arrogant career politician currently living in the White House is responsible.

Right, Ukrainians are "defeated" because it took the Russians 9 months to take a city of prewar 70,000. Okay

US signals to allies it won’t block their export of F-16 jets to Ukraine

It appears that the Ukrainian military are cutting behind the Wagner Group from both directions to isolate and trap the city. They did this successfully before.

"HIROSHIMA, Japan (AP) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Sunday that Russian forces weren’t occupying Bakhmut, casting doubt on Moscow’s claims that the eastern Ukrainian city had fallen"...

The United States has lots of pig politicians but this might top anything we have, not sure....

I get the humor. Zelensky’s Bagdad Bob moment. He has to keep denying defeat or the $$$$ wont keep rolling in. Just another welfare grifter!

And the Russians lost 70,000 killed and wounded to take a city of 70,000.

Zelensky has blackmailed Biden..

Biden is a puppet to many people who oppose each other. He’s beteeen a rock and a hard place.

He will have his third brain aneurysm soon as he is no longer a useful puppet.
