Duh……

This nonsensical narrative being pushed by the media that UKraine is winning this war is laughable. No wonder people believe Biden won…

Too many people believe that rooting for the underdog is the right thing to do. That skews their perception of reality and gives them confirmation bias.

Ukraine is not ‘winning’, they are fighting on. Russia is advancing and wreaking havoc, but at significant loss of materials, men, and prestige.

I wouldn’t get hung up over the media’s use of the word ‘winning’. I don’t think any of them have defined ‘winning’ as having driven out the threat. But they have correctly surmised that the Russians can’t ‘win’ any more here than they could in Afghanistan.

I’ve not seen ANY narrative that Ukraine is winning the war. However, in an invasion, if there is a stalemate, in general the victor is the defender, simply because the invasion has not succeeded.

You should head over to the thread titled "Putin's convoy of corpses...". Over there everything that the Daily Mail says is false propaganda. So it must also be false propaganda that "Ukraine may be losing on the battlefield" and "Putin may be losing the information war".

Since whatever the MSM says is supposedly "fake" and "wrong" all of the Daily Mail statements must be untrue.

Negating everything they say implies not many Russians are dying, Putin is winning the information war, and Ukraine may be winning on the battlefield.

Is Daily Mail right or "fake"?
