Thank you for posting.
Get prepared to be flamed endlessly, bringing up the name of Douglas McGregor who definitely not parroting the anti-Putin news of the West.
China.
I have watched him and posted one of his deals when this thing started.
I tend to listen to my recent direct contacts in eastern Europe over these people now.
And the news aint good for the USA over there.
Get ready for a horde of angry neocons and trolls.

FWD from Kotsnews:
Some people are scolding me for depressing people with my updates. They say I need to be positive. Well, the time is such that there will be no good news in the near future. Neither from the Kherson front, nor from Luhansk now.
Battle for Kherson: the situation at the Andriivka and Beryslav sections As of 3 p.m. Kyiv Time, October 4, 2022
Those who are laundering the money we are sending are winning.
I’ll tell you who is losing: the American taxpayer...
One point that is spot on - nuke fever is cultivated by western media. Chance of a nuke originating from russia is zero. They won’t use one on Uke territory [probably the only tactical option for nukes at this point] bc it will blow fallout over Russia proper and millions of russian citizens. Won’t happen. I do not doubt the russkie will retaliate if the west deployed one, though, then we’re all crispy.
Does the Russian flag fly over Kiev?
How long has this conflict lasted?
The answer to those questions prove Russia hasn’t won.
Is Ukraine “winning”? A country attacked and invaded by a much larger neighbor doesn’t “win”. They survive, and hopefully kick the invaders out.
So it’s an invalid question.
“Who is winning in Ukraine?”
No one really. Ukraine is fighting and bleeding to take back territory that should have never been taken in the first place. If they “win” all they will win is the privilege of rebuilding shattered cities and towns.
Russia is losing and has lost much more than just this war.
The war revealed so many of Russia’s weaknesses and the problem is that the Russians are unable to resolve these weaknesses because the problems are fundamental flaws in Russian culture and the Russian psyche.
Russians are a deeply emotional and deeply feeling people but they are also afflicted with a fatalism similar to that of the Muslims. As individuals and as people they are all too often resigned to their place in life and they give up too easy. I don’t see that getting fixed by an authoritarian dictator like Putin.
Maybe it will never be fixed.
So for now with all things being equal the Ukrainians are slowly defeating the Russians. That doesn’t mean I think the Ukrainians are military geniuses because much of the reason the Russians are being defeated is caused by Russia and Russians.
It’s too much for me to put into a FR post but I guess what I’m trying to say here is that Russia vs. Ukraine isn’t just a military conflict but a cultural conflict.
The Ukrainians have hope for their individual and collective future and the Russians seem to be demoralized even before this war.
Those who profit from the huge aid packages are winning. US tax payers and those in the war itself are losing.
As long as Russia still holds any Ukrainian territory, they’ve winning.
It’s as simple as that.
