WAS one. It no longer exists.
correct, there was quite the story about it I recall.
Reliable information?
The only reliable information anyone has is what they personally see. And even then the old saying is true: Believe none of what you hear and only half of what you see.
Reliable information? What does anyone have need of reliable information in a no nothing war brought to us by Biden and NATO?
The Taiwanese are vastly better prepared than the Ukrainians ever could be. They know which beaches the PLA would have to assault. All are trapped and mined and have underground gas pipes. Taiwan is dug in very thoroughly.
Is someone keeps posting an obvious propaganda post from some Twitter account of some random person, that needs to be called out.
It’s an insult on our intelligence.
Agree with the first part. Not sure about the second part, about the kernel of truth "often" being in a piece of propaganda. I would substitute "sometimes".
The Ukrainians have essentially saved the Taiwanese. Had Ukraine been steamrolled, China would have invaded Taiwan next. I am positive that was, in fact, the actual plan. But Russia dropped the ball and is showing what happens to an incompetent, corrupt military attempting to invade another country. China has all the same problems the Russians do with their military, except even worse, since Chinese made crap is even worse than Russian made crap.
Hold on there tough guy. You have no place calling anyone out for ‘acting like a jerk’. Your entire posting history is one of being a complete and utter Richard with a capital D to everyone on this forum who might even have any tiny divergence from the asshattery that you think is ‘truth’. You are a shill and a troll and you’ll get yours eventually, but dammit, in the meantime, at least have the decency to not call out innocent people for the BS you engage in on a daily basis here.
You are on notice, as being noticed as to what you are.
I think we’re at, like, 6 confirmed dead Russkie generals? Or was it 5?
Either way, there comes a point where denying Ukrainian military success as “propaganda” simply becomes stupid.
Kyiv has never been under siege. The Russians failed at encircling Kyiv, and at this point do not have the manpower or capability to do it, so they’ve just been chucking bombs into the city, targeting foodstores, warehouses, government buildings, etc.
Here is another piece of information about Russians doing badly in the field. With more unhappiness on the way for Russian troops.

I see that and you see that. Why feel compelled to punish them for it?
Are you trying to win the internet? You read it, tell yourself, “That’s crap” and move on.
You do what you think is right, I guess. But it appears to be a waste of time.
How about making ONE soldier shoot his commander? Might find volunteers?
When was the last time a US general was killed in a combat zone? 2014. And it was a green on blue attack—not even in the field.
Generals should not be that close to the enemy. They are supposed to be more valuable behind the line—plus the risk of capture is more damaging than their deaths.
Losing Generals in modern warfare is pretty rare.
It depends on how the war is fought and what country is fighting it.
US generals sitting at some console in Florida are not going to get killed in Afghanistan.
Russian generals, actively engaging the enemy in Ukraine on the battlefield can and do get killed.
Much of Taiwan's economy is trade with China. Nearly a majority of Taiwan citizens are already willing to vote for a merger. 10% of them already live in China. If the CCP courts Taiwan politely, they won't even need Zuckerberg's $400 million secret sauce. The CCP might waltz in early, though, just to demonstrate to the world their superpower status has arrived.
A siege around a siege?
