Maybe the Russian troll farm is worried that they will be sent to the front next? That would explain a lot. Maybe our resident Russian trolls can enlighten us on this point, or will they just continue with the B.S. and propaganda that the Ukies are all homos?

Enough months of following coverage have passed that by now, it is clear that accuracy seems to come from Western sources.

A person reading the Western sources for the last 7 months can see that they are following the actual trends, wins, and losses, of the war, with the rare reporting mishap.

A person relying on the Russian reporting must see by now that they have been being misled for at least the last 5 months or so and have a totally distorted view of what has actually been transpiring in the war and is currently happening.

Yep fpr months we were lectured by Putards here that what was in the western media was all lies and the “truth” was to be found in pro-Russian media..They then ran with this “truth” and made stupid predictions and statements that are all turning out to be wrong. So whose media was more correct?

ISW has been very good right thru the whole conflicts.

Sonar21? Not so much. Scott Ritter? Not so much. MCGregor? not so much...

I am puzzled. If Putin manipulates through microbloggers, how can he lose them? Aren’t they on payroll like the author of this piece? Or maybe they represent some real journalism, unlike Western media?

You disappeared from FR for almost 5 years, spanning the entire Trump administration and almost another year (at least under ‘Timber Rattler’).

Did your government assignments preclude your participation until you received new orders, or did your 3-letter agency software inadvertently disable access to this account?

Or not.

I don't want either side to win.

the difference between taking Kherson and and taking more ground in the north east—is that once the west side of the dneiper is secured—those lands are defensible with only a couple troops—because those lands are across the broad dneiper and far from the russian border.

whereas the lands in the northeast are snug up agains the russian border. the Ukes will need a lot of troops to defend those lands. the russians could be completely driven out. but then they could mass 100,000 troops on the border a year later. the ukes could defend against that but it would take all their troops.

the lands west of the dneiper require almost no troops. Russians can’t get there anymore.

Oh, I don’t know.

This morning we are hearing of the nuclear threats to NATO. We’ve also heard the hypersonic missiles are already targeted. And finally, we heard that the Poseidon torpedo sub has set sail for targets unknown. I read how that bomb can travel 10,000 KM to blow up in Boston Harbor or NYC.

No...the Kremlin is pumping this crap out like a fat guy after two coffees and a smoke.

Wow, it is good to see that the Kremlin doggerel propaganda has not infiltrated every conservative outlet.
