Brilliant.
Go play outside.
Do you really believe that Putin has withheld 80% of his experienced force for 8 months?!?! If they really exist, why did he have to resort to a mobilization of 300,000 over-aged, over-weight, and ill-trained reservists?
He has definitely succeeded in creating an energy crisis in Europe. This war is boning the EU economy. I think that's just a bonus in all this for the neocons.
“Negotiated withdrawal?” That’s a new one on me. Is that the current Kremlin-directed propaganda line for the humiliating failure of Kiyv offensive?
Nope. The Ukrainian insiders told it since day one, later Russian and Turkey confirmed.
Putinas have been peddling the “negotiated withdrawal” from Kyiv nonsense for months. More recently they minted up “regrouping” to distract from humiliating battlefield defeats at the hands of Ukrainian farmers. I wonder if Russia’s coming defeat in the Kherson cauldron will be a “negotiated withdrawal” or “regrouping”?
That’s why I first thought that they must all be paid Russians because no one sincere can be that stupid.
Then I thought about what I have seen just recently - people gathering on grassy knoll convinced that JFK is going to rise from the grave and announce that he is Q.
Russian Black Sea flagship “Moskva” - a near billion-dollar ship - was promoted to a submarine as a gesture of Russian goodwill.
It’s pointless to try interacting with them... there’s no critical thinking, reflection or ability to see fault with Russia at any time.
That's why Russia was able to annex 40,000 square miles of territory.
The only Ukrainian "wins" have been in rural areas and deserted towns Russia withdrew from. But, estimates are Ukraine lost 20,000 troops in the last month taking back land that is of zero strategic importance.
The Russians devastated Ukraine yesterday by bombing more than 100 targets. The Ukraine air defense was non-existent. It was a warning that Russia could level what's left of Ukraine at any time and there isn't a thing Ukraine could to about it.
Isn’t this victory dance a bit premature?
