Okay, a senile Cold Warrior spotted. Tune up to Biden’s wave and enjoy your pudding.

The Polish, the Lithuanians, the Latvians and the Estonians are even more anti-Russian because they once belonged to the Russian Empire and so they were oppressed by Russia for a longer time and more directly.

I suppose it was a one-time event caused by the fact that Great Britain and Russia were opponents at that time.

Kharkov is still getting shelled daily.
they haven’t accomplished anything yet.
it does sound like smart strategy if doable.

Why hasn’t the Duma declared war on Ukraine and put Russia on full mobilization? Why haven’t they called in all their reserves and put Russia on a footing to wage a world war? Why are their just hitting a few places with rockets and not closing every railroad line? If you do war—GET SERIOUS! Its all or Nothing. Why haven’t they asked for help from Allies? More than a few weapons and loans—but China to open a second front—even North Korea, or Cuba? Serbia? Iran? If they pull out of Ukraine it will be seen as a loss—they will lose Crimea—naval bases and be forced to rebuild a NATO Ukraine. Then war-crimes trials to “Punish Putin” and occupy Russia for “Free Elections” War is Hell. This one could have been avoided and may yet spiral out of control in the summer.

I have found “that idiot” far more accurate than any US site or the UK Daily Mail.

If they are firing off even half the ORDNANCE that western observers claim, they would have blown up every tank in the Russkie army if they were competent.

Don’t get caught up in western hype.

Accurate?! Did you read how he thought the war would go? Go back and read some of those earlier blog spots. Way, way off.

Certainly didn’t go the way the western sources said it would.

Remember “19,000 Russian dead?” Wars involve fluidity. Maybe you recall the invasion of Iraq.

Bottom line, the Ukes are NOT having the success the western papers claim. Bill Roggio is another source if you don’t like Dreizen.

You are comparing apples and oranges. Western papers are OF COURSE being used for their propaganda value.. and the same on the Russian side. But your guy claims to be unbiased and accurate. And that’s why he is a fail.

I never heard him say he was unbiased. I don’t treat any source as unbiased. He’s not “my guy.” He’s “A” guy.
