This will certainly be denied by those who suffer from Russia-phobia which our media has been blasting for decades as well as Politicians.
Russians could only get a single 70 year old tank to their victory parade. Proves which army was annihilated in Bakhmut.
“This will certainly be denied by those who suffer from Russia-phobia...”
I don’t fear Russia; so, I’m not a Russophobe; and, I suspect, there are a great many FReepers with whom you disagree that are not Russophobes, either. We don’t fear Russia; rather, we do not trust it — at all. There is a big difference between fear and distrust. But, I don’t think you know that.
It will be denied by anyone who recognizes one sided propaganda when they read it.
Yeah, Russia is committed to its goal of “denazifying Ukraine”.
If you believe Russia went into Ukraine to save the world from Nazis - Ukraine led by the Jewish Zelensky - you are a delusional idiot.
And the article lists all the Ukrainian brigades that suffered in the battle. Doesn’t bother to list a single Russian unit.
Why do you spread this idiotic bs.
Goes on about how Russia captured Mariupol a year ago.
Doesn’t mention Ukraine taking Kherson.
We shall see.
Of course, it will be denied. Just like so many of their other lies.....
-Hunter Biden's laptop was a Russian hoax
-Trump colluded with Russia
-Moscow hookers peed on Trump's bed
-Only 9.65342 years left before global warming kills us all
-There was absolutely no fraud in the 2020 election
-Shut down the economy for only two weeks to flatten the curve
-Take the 100% safe and effective jab, and you WILL NOT get COVID
-January 6th insurrection
-We got all the people out of Afghanistan
-There is absolutely no bank crises
-Those biochemical weapons in Iraq are going to kill us all
And you expect anyone in their right mind to believe them when they tell us Ukraine is winning and Bakmut did not fall.
Okay, then.
It is clear that the neocons are wrong when they say Russia wants to take over the world.
It is equally clear that Russia DOES want to take over all of the independent ex-SSRs, and restore “influence” in the ex Warsaw Pact.
It’s also clear the motive for this POLICY in Russia has a multi faceted basis.
1. Eroding control over the ‘Stans.
2. Growing dissatisfaction in the CIS.
3. Half of the Russian Federation is 50 years behind Muscovy in terms of infrastructure and amenities.
4. The CSTO is about as attractive as syphilis. Any country who has a free choice between joining CSTO and joining NATO would much rather be in NATO.
5. BRICS is growing because of China and India; Russia’s fast turning into the alliance’s loudmouth uncle.
6. Russia pretty much exports only five things (fossil fuels, cereals, Wagner, Russkyi Mir, and cyber warfare.) Nobody buys Russian laptops, Russian white goods, Russian cars or Russian clothes because Russia still doesn’t know how to make the stuff for export. Eleven time zones and still no export strategy. Hungary and Bulgaria between them export more consumer electronics than Russia.
That Russia wants to expand west by absorbing countries that DIDN’T waste their post USSR opportunities, and lose the eastern dead weight, isn’t in dispute.
It’s their methods - cyber extortion, fuel and nuclear blackmail, political interference including fomenting separatists and performing assassinations, and old school invasion - that are the issue.
