Need help with the Russia - Ukraine conflict

Posted on 03/02/2022 3:40:54 PM PST by A Cyrenian

If you know any news sources from Russia AND any from Ukraine could you please let me know.

I'm not going to waste my time with the worthless networks in the USA or the ap wire.

But I would like to see what the people who are experiencing this have to say.

If you know of any websites that can be useful please post them.

Thank you.

Well, right there is your first problem, the fog of war being what it is.

Sherman's famous quote on war:

War is hell. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, more vengeance, more desolation. War is hell.

I do not need to know what "the people who are experiencing this have to say."

Disclaimer:   I served in the USAF for six years right at the close out of the Viet Nam era.   Saigon fell when I was halfway through Basic Training therefore I was never in a war.   And yes, a Georgian, born in Alabama, just quoted General Sherman.   He had no illusions.

The stated reason is never the real reason that an action like this is done.

I certainly have no idea of who’s right, who’s evil, etc. when it comes to this situation.

There are plenty of bad actors and glory seekers, and money grabbers all around on this and no side of this conflict has clean hands. They all deserve each other.

Oh Great - another shill for the damn Russians!

Better than being a shill for Klaus Schwaub and Soros.

You just fine with unjustified aggression?

Apparently you've never heard of the US funded bio-labs that Putin destroyed, or the fact that NATO keeps trying to expand to Russia's borders when they've been warned a million times not to do so.

I can’t say you are wrong, but I can’t say Putin is altruistic either.

I'm not saying Putin is a Saint. But he loves his country and Russia is the main roadblock stopping the Great Reset.

That's why most of the world is aligned against him.

You should watch Ukraine on Fire. An Oliver Stone documentary from 2016. It’s very persuasive about the US deep state interference in Ukraine going back to the 90’s. Here is a link to the YouTube copy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHH10jIRJmQ

Southfront is a pro-Russian news source. They have a lot of videos and analyses that you may not see elsewhere.

Their editorial bias is obvious. They root for Russia. Keep that in mind, and they can be a very useful resource.

Nice try.

I still win the Kewpie doll.

You and 90% of FR can cheerlead for the Ukrainian comedian.

Both are evil. And contrary to what the brainwashing propaganda says, it is absolutely OK to not support EITHER ONE. It is evil destroying evil. Since when do we have to pick a side that is still evil because someone tells us we have to?

Anyone who's taken even a glance at that shudder-inducing photo of Klaus Schwab on the beach knows that we're dealing with a seriously deranged man ...

... Who runs a forum for "Young Global Leaders."

Context, Sir Knight.

This was said by a general appointed by Lincoln to conquer the south in our civil war.

Thank you.

If Putin really wanted to, he could conquer Ukraine within a week.

There's a reason why he's fighting a conventional ground war without the use of airstrikes or targeting civilians. In fact, he's doing everything he can to minimize civilian casualties.

Retired Generals Jack Keane and Douglas MacGregor, and Bill Roggio of the Long War Journal are worth listening too.

Wife’s good friend is over in the city of Parczew Poland. She was to leave there after spending some time with her children who live there but, she has been stuck for reasons.

She says that the town is flooded with refugees. All of them scared. The Russians are taking as many casualties as the Ukrainians and are basically taking what they wish. The Ukrainians are fighting a losing battle and it is a matter of time now and it will be all over depending what the Russian ultimate demands will be.

The Polish people are scared to near death in that region.

She is in her 80s and grew up in Poland during WW2 as a very little girl.

Putin is not warring on the Ukraine people

You are tragically mis-informed. A lot of people are getting killed, including civilians. The MSM has decided not to show the gruesome footage of dead soldiers and civilians, and the destruction of people's homes.

See for yourself here.

See for yourself (warning: graphic and sad) here

“Putin is taking out the global elites that have used Ukraine as a child-sex trafficking hub and money laundering hub for decades.”

Yep...

Here is the way I see it, and actually we should all stop falling for the psyops. They are both bad guys, Why are we are we being shamed into supporting one bad guy over another bad guy? This thing is like a car thief stealing a car from another car thief. Why would we support one thief over the other thief? I doesn’t change that they are both still thieves...
