@TomRtweets

Video suggests Russian advance forces at Hostomel were annihilated last night. Half of them don't appear to even have been able to dismount from their vehicles. When entire platoons get wiped out it's going to be hard for Russians to spin to families that the war is going well.

Eighty years ago, during WW2, we had Edward R. Murrow broadcasting from London with war news.
Well, the war news approved by both the British & American Governments.

None of the soldiers (on either side) wear clear cut uniforms to distinguish who is Russian and who is Ukrainian.

That's not even remotely true.

Anyway, have the Russian changed their tactics? Are they not allowing an evacuation route?


No they can use the route, and then get shot shelled for their stupidity.

Yes, videos, photographs, witness accounts are all fabricated by the deep state using CGI and crisis actors.

Nothing is real, unless I read it on my shitty Russian or Q-tastic blog!

The same people who told us:

Man made climate change is real,and justifies the Green New Deal.
The COVID pandemic justified shutting down thousands of businesses and social activities, despite a 99%+ survival rate for people under 60.
The 2020 U.S. elections were the most honest in human history.
The BLM and Antifa riots two years ago were mostly peaceful protests.
The January 6th incursion into the Capitol was an insurrection on a scale worse than the Southern secession.

are now telling us of grandmothers with AK 47s and Molotov cocktails taking down Russian tanks.

Count me as a skeptic of anything coming out of the MSM,including Fox, or the British press. Of course the Russians are lying as well, but Big Tech has lessened the reach of their propaganda.

The video seems to end (edited) with a shout then a gunshot. Was the camera guy shot?

What was said just before the gunshot?

The same people who told us:

Let's think about what the Putinists on this forum have told us:

There would be no invasion, nevermind your lying eyes;

Putin is a big strong sexy Christian even though only 7% of his countrymen even attend church, there is vast amounts of homosexual rape in the Russian military, and the ROC is led by KGB agents who spread Liberation Theology;

Russia is allied to China, North Korea, Iran, etc., but they're still not the bad guys and/or it's Biden's fault for driving Putin into the arms of China since 1991;

The gigantic army forming at the border in attack positions are just on exercises and are no threat to Ukraine;

Everyone who disagrees is a NeoCon Warmonger drinking Biden koolaid;

Yes, Putin has maybe sent troops in, but it is a CGI hoax created by the MSM;

Every video, witness report, photograph you see is probably fake and under the control of a vast leftwing conspiracy to make pretend that there is a war and/or Putin is losing the war;... etc etc etc.

With this track record, is there any good reason to accept your arguments that amount to little more than illogical, unhinged distractions?

Yes, and the Russians have about 30,000 Ukrainian troops trapped in one sector and have told them to surrender. This operation is nearly over.

Time for the Russian Ground Forces to turn against Putin just like the Russian Army did the same to Czar Nicholas II during WWI.

So you accept MSM lies? If you read my previous post, I stated the Russian government lies as well. Bottom line: I trust neither the Deep State nor the Russians. I am sorry that you are so gullible as to accept CNN, CBS, NBC, ABC, the New York Times, etc.

Only way I can tell is that the Russians are wearing white armbands and the Ukrainians are wearing yellow armbands.

Russian vheciles have white invasion stripes. Usually the letter Z or V.

Ukrainians have an army of around 150-250,000 people, not including all the new volunteers they're getting or reservists. So even if the bullshit you just wrote is true, this conflict is nowhere close to being over.

Cannot view unless log on to Twit. Another link, perhaps?

It's worth having a Twitter account just for this stuff, even if you don't follow anyone. You can easily set one up with a fake name and a burner email account and bypass the requests for your cell phone number.

There's just so much stuff getting posted over there that isn't getting posted elsewhere.

Don’t have Twit account for same reason no TikTok account. Perhaps if I could afford a good VPN, I might, but funds are too tight as is.

Foul language is indicative of a thug. If all you can do is use filthy language, maybe you should shut up.

Do yourself a favor and stop watching MSM. They already have you believing that the 2nd most powerful sophisticated military in the world is getting annihilated by a bunch of rag tag militias and an under armed army.

The Ukrainian air force was basically taken out on the first day. Their radar was gone. If they’re flying its a Helen Keller operation. When your air force is gone you’re done. You cannot fly cover for your ground operation. The Russians own the skies. That means they easily protect their ground convoys. If you are seeing burned out columns of vehicles on the road they’re Ukrainian. See how that works? 🙄

Are there or are there not Russian troops in Ukraine? It’s a pretty simple question.

I am rooting for the Ukrainians as I rooted for the Israelis in 1967 and 1973 and the Croatians in 1993. Putin may be demented, I don’t know. But I highly distrust the U.S. government after a long string of foreign disasters since V-J Day, from our failure to win in Korea to our abandonment of Americans, allies, and equipment in Afghanistan. I also distrust NATO. I don’t reject the theory that the Western nations’ leadership may want this war as much as Putin does, to distract from domestic problems and to impose more restrictions on personal and economic freedoms.

“I am rooting for the Ukrainians as I rooted for the Israelis in 1967 and 1973…”

I don’t like bullies. Not one little bit.

“ But I highly distrust the U.S. government after a long string of foreign disasters since V-J Day..”

We are of like mind there.

“I also distrust NATO.”

As do I. It may have started well but it’s become welfare for Western Europe.

What I don’t like is a big country run by thugs and criminals attacking a smaller, weaker neighbor even if it, too, is run by thugs and criminals. This ain’t 1938. We simply can’t allow it.

If Russia succeeds in conquering Ukraine, which I seriously doubt they’ll be able to do long term, then China will move on Taiwan. That’s when the real fun will start.
