“For the first time in weeks, the Pentagon assessed today that Kherson, a port city in southern Ukraine, is no longer under full Russian control.”

Russia is the enemy of America.
Russia losing is in America’s interest.
Putin will have Jobama come to his rescue and Jobama will oblige him, all behind the scenes of course. It goes without saying that Putin and Xi own the puke criminal Jobama and have him by the gonads. Bad for the rest of us and we’ll very likely see just how bad before the next election.
Putinistas won’t believe anything unless it’s from Pravda, Interfax, RT, TASS or RIA.
I assume you are being sarcastic but l was making a nuanced statement about the untrustworthy nature of reporting on anything concerning The Ukraine.
The bit about the dogs might be excessive, but slaughtering the royal clan - that's not unique to the Bolsheviks. When Russian aristocrats killed Tsar Feodor II, they also slaughtered his family. The idea is to deny other contenders for power a rallying point (around a royal, real or alleged). But the fact is - it took WWI and the loss of more war dead than every one of Russia's previous wars combined, by an order of magnitude, for Nicholas II to fall from power. That's not Putin's situation.
Yes. Both of them. It is a shame they both can’t lose.
The Russian people and Russian culture are not enemies of America.
I don’t know who is handing who their @ss in the Ukraine right now. All we have are unverified claims on twitter and tabloids and MSM sources that have always lied like rugs up to this point. Now we are supposed to believe all this?
The FR used to be a place where there were a few barking nuts but most people seemed to be seeking the truth in any situation. Ever since Pooty attacked the Ukraine it’s been nothing but a neocon warmonger propaganda fest.
Or CCTV english...
“The bit about the dogs might be excessive, but slaughtering the royal clan - that’s not unique to the Bolsheviks.”
No, but the Bolsheviks were Russian. Just saying.
It is unusual to wipe out a leader’s entire immediate family. Yes, historically it has been done. But the extermination of the Tsar’s entire immediate family in 1918 was the only time such a thing had happened in modern times (probably because hereditary rule is — aside from some Arab regimes — extremely rare).
“The Russian people and Russian culture are not enemies of America.”
I’ve often said much the same thing on FR.
That part about more of Ivan’s ships showing up in Odessa might not happen. The Turks claim they have closed the Bosporus. And someone gave the Ukes something that can sink a ship so the Black Sea/Azov fleet might be getting wound down shortly. There are pics of two Russian LST type ships on fire at a dock south of Mariupol.
I look at it like watching a WWF match, entertaining. But anyone with a modicum of sense has to know by now Russia choking on what they bit off and it appears they can’t swallow nor spit it out. It wouldn’t be their first time getting kicked in the teeth by a ‘David’ ask the Finnish
Personally I hope Russia is getting what it deserves. Unfortunately the corrupt Ukraine leadership (who helped Biden get in office) aren’t any better. They may even be more corrupt than Russia.
Not our monkeys. Not our fight. Russia was never going to allow its access to the Black Sea be threatened. Never. No matter who it’s leadership might be. Only a fool would think otherwise.
Yup. Putin is an egomaniac. Like a cornered raccoon, very dangerous.
He’s been losing for 2 weeks.
Like info from Belorussia is going to say anything else..
It’s only been difficult days for Putler’s invaders for the past 3 weeks.
He will look for some way to save face. Taking the Donbas and giving up the war is the only way out for him.
