Mainstream Media Grudgingly Admits Truth: Ukraine War Is A Disaster
YouTube ^ | May 30 | Ron Paul

Posted on 05/30/2022 10:05:28 AM PDT by RandFan

One by one, the US mainstream media outlets are lining up to (finally) let a bit of truth leak out after three months of incessant propaganda: Ukraine is being destroyed in the war. How many have unnecessarily died because the likes of Boris Johnson and Biden have prohibited a negotiated settlement? Also today, US/EU sanctions on Russia have backfired. Like always. Bonus: What was Ron Paul doing this weekend?

These people specialize in creating oligarchs with the peoples assets, kinda like what is now happening in USA. It is what they do. How much gold is in Fort Knox? Oh we don’t know as everyone one at highest levels has had a cut. Biggest mistake we ever made was the 1965 Immigration Act that brought this corrupt Russian oligarch culture into USA.

Uh all this talk about it being immoral to resist aggression, is just plain weird.

Also overheated. Ukraine was “supposed” to fall in a week. It didn’t.

Now Russia is making a concentrated effort in the East. Ok.

And we didn’t know Ukraine was being “destroyed”? We sure as hell all saw the cities being devastated.

It’s being destroyed by Russia. I really wonder what these idiots will say when the Russian monster wins and continues forward.

He’s like a pit bull — occasionally biting into the wrong thing, and unwilling to let go.

I must have fallen asleep and woke up in France. Resisting aggression is “cowardly” and surrender monkeys are brave.

Just wondering how is the view inside your arses.

The Chinese predicted this when it first started:

https://freerepublic.com/focus/backroom/4067250/posts?page=3#3

Also see the article at link.

An excerpt:


... The damage to Ukraine’s infrastructure alone exceeds $1 trillion, in a country whose national output did not reach $160 billion a year before the war started! Simply repairing the country would require six times the country’s national product, which of course is impossible.

Even if the money could be found, who would make the repairs? Before the war Ukraine had 45 million people on paper but only 33 million actually in the country, because half the adult population had left to work elsewhere. At least 14 million of those have been driven from their homes, and most of them will not return. After all, the Poles, Hungarians and Germans are short of people and will gladly accept immigrants from Ukraine rather than from the Middle East or Africa.

It isn’t a disaster, it’s a successful distraction for the ignorant morons infesting our country and it is working really well for the commie ‘RATS. By the way, what ever happened to that Covid thingy?

Conservatives are experts at being skeptical of the MSM until the MSM moves to the next Current Day outrage, which they then proceed to believe without reservation.

“ukraine may be winning a battle, but russia is flat out destroying anything that stands, which will make it impossible to rebuild, restart, regrow anything for a generation or so.
this is not something for us to get glued to.”

Russia gave Ukrainians enough time to leave their homes for the humanitarian crisis. And they pretty much telegraphed what their objectives are and the path they are going to take. After that, it’s pretty much bounce the rubble.

“Well, I don’t know if Russia is winning, but the situation is probably much more perilous for the Ukraine than we’ve been led to believe. Every time a Russian tank is blown up, every time a Russian officer is killed, we hear about it, but we rarely hear similar stories about Ukrainian losses.”


People who want to get a more realistic picture of the war can find it on Telegram channels. Here is one report from this morning. (videos on the site)

https://t.me/s/intelslava

Intel Slava Z
🇷🇺🇺🇦❗The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation confirmed the fact of the strike on the operational control point of the Operational Command “South” of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Novy Bug, which was reported in the morning. According to the information received, 37 officers, including 3 generals, were killed as a result of the strike.


There is no ambiguity about this war for anyone actually following it. It is completely one sided.

Actually we were fortunate enough to get “real” though admittedly conservative Ukraine loss information until May 10th.

Rybar had an inside source from the Ukraine General Command that provided the numbers Ukraine had collected. Though they made clear they were low because the National Guard stopped reporting after the first month. Other units stopped reporting when the commander was killed and still other units were categorized as “missing.”

And Ukraine will not accept their dead soldiers bodies from the Russians and lists them as “missing” for PR reasons.

But, still it was incredible to be able to see the actual reality. Rybar published the report daily until May 10th and then with no explanation it stopped. Maybe the informer was caught; maybe Rybar ran out of bribe money, who knows...:-)

But, it was great to get to see truth. So, here is the last one. You just have to add the last 3 weeks and all the data that was never reported.

HUGE losses!

I really got sick of the Propaganda that we were force fed about “Brave, Heroic Ukrainians and awful barbaric Russians” War is Hell, ugly, brutal, mean. People die in terrible ways. It was the fake “Ghost of Kiev” that did it for me. A Video game—used to show a single Ukrainian pilot taking out 40 Russians with an old Mig-29. All fake Propaganda. The quicker Russia wins, the sooner the war will stop—and the killing will end.

As one who’s been passionately aligned with MSM messaging from the beginning, your disapproval is not surprising.

NATO is the aggressor. There was absolutely no reason for it to continue to exist after the collapse of the Soviet Union. But instead of disbanding it broke the promise not to expand eastward and it threatens to put missiles on the Russian border. Ukraine is nothing but a puppet of corrupt politicians like Biden. Too many people are believing the MSM, Democrat, and RINO Bull****.

What an absolutely idiotic statement.

Which country did NATO invade.

Some of you are nuts.
