He is a shill for Putin.

He has been consistently wrong at every level. He said in February that Ukraine would be obliterated by Putin

Ukraine won the war. Right now Russia is struggling only for Donbas. It withdrew from Kyiv, Kharkiv and now around kherson.

We do know this… whomever is running the war on the Ukrainian side is an abject moron. Slowly being encircled, yet they do nothing.

I have heard many reports of the Ukrainian generals asking to pull back from Lysychans’k a week or so ago and were told no. Even though tactically it was the right thing to do. Now it is too late.

Quite simply there is no way Ukraine wins with its current tactical leadership.

If a conquering Army doesn’t win quickly it loses. That is the lesson of recent warfare. The West can out manufacture Russia into the ground. Russia has already lost. That they capture a few more square klicks of rubble that used to be Ukrainian cityscape is meaningless in the long run. The only question is how many trillions of rubles and how many 10s of thousands of dead Russian soldiers they want before they give up and go home.

Excellent summarization, Reaganez!

Regards,

Russia is not my enemy and it never was. The Soviet Union was my enemy.

Russia (Putin) is threatening the use of nuclear weapons against previously neutral countries which are now running scared and asking to join NATO.

Russia (Putin) is launching hypersonic rockets at European cities.

In an unprovoked attack, Russia (Putin) sent more than a thousand tanks into a peaceful, neighboring European country.

Russia (Putin) is responsible for the deaths of ten thousand-plus innocent Ukrainian civilians, and has made millions more into refugees.

Russia (Putin) has overturned the post-WWII principle of the inviolability of European borders (except through peaceful / diplomatic means)

Russia (Putin) is staging the biggest land-grab in Europe since Hitler invaded the East.

Russia (Putin) is the rightful heir of the Soviet Union (Stalin).

Regards,

Just the opposite, BRICS type organizations allow countries to avoid dealing with politically corrupt economies/governments like the US and EU. The rest of the world realizes the decadent west can and will apply the same economic terror tactics if they don’t like your stand on Russia, climate, trans BS, etc. Look at the ruble, doing great. BRICS and even rogue EU countries will buy all the resources Russia cares to export. In the economic war declared against Russia, the people of the EU and US are getting our brains beaten out. BRICS is the wave of the future not the decadent west, pushing pushing its ridiculous social and political decrees above all else.

Your last line is closer to the truth than anyone is willing to admit: “Breaking news: No one knows what they’re taking about.”

A part of my mind takes COL, Rtd, MacGregor as stating a point of view that must be kept in mind, whether or not we agree with it. Another part sees him as one of those who said that Gen George Washington and the American “colonies” had already lost the American Revolutionary War after defeats in 1776 and that “clearly” the South had won the American Civil War after its victories in 1862 & 1863.

Putin thought he would get a quick victory, but the Ukrainians surprised him and now both sides are in for the long fight.

I seen videos with my own eyes of Americans fleeing from rooftops in helicopters from Saigon. That is not a sign of victory. It is sign of a defeated military fleeing in panic

Ukraine has lost east Ukraine & Crimea. If Russia goes after the remainder of the southern coast, then they are focused on defeating the rest of Ukraine. If not, then they aren’t.

Uh, yeah. Whatever, Loser.

The 1980s ended 40 years ago. It’s long past time for you to crawl out of your parents’ basement, cut off that stupid mullet and put on a respectable pair of pants, you dumbass, monkey-faced idiot.

Thanks for so deftly refuting all seven of the points I raised in post #46, Qui is!

Your strict use of only Aristotelian Logic to lay waste to my arguments and to falsify my evidence was truly impressive.

That you were able to do so while still adhering to the high standards of gentlemanly conduct expected here at Free Republic is especially deserving of our respect!

Oh, wait...!
