Inflating the body count is all they’ve got since there’s no signs Russia has a plan anymore outside of bombing civilian targets.

“Russis doesnt have a plan? No way! Mc gregor says massive russian offensive of 540k troops no later than dec 19th!”

Much in the same breath as that alleged “million man army” the Ukies were supposed to raise, huh, peddler?

“....outside of bombing civilian targets...”

Serbia calls your BS.
Libya calls your BS.
Syria calls your BS.
Iraq calls your BS.
Afghanistan calls your BS.

I could go on with more of that alleged “outside of bombing civilian targets” BS.....

“Yes, of course, and Der Fuhrer wannabe Ursula von der LeyenIdiot was lying too when she dropped the 100K Ukies KIA too in your fantasy world, huh?”
.
.
“Since the war began in February, von der Leyen did not say a true word until November 30, when she announced that Ukrainian military deaths had reached more than 100,000, and civilian fatalities more than 20,000. Within hours these numbers were removed from the published record of her speech. Von der Leyen’s admission implied the war toll of Ukrainian wounded is more than 300,000, and that the sum of military and civilian casualties has already reached half a million. Von der Leyen was confirming Russian estimates and contradicting the Kiev regime’s propaganda.”

“Deep state stepped in and make Zelensky an offer.”

More like an offer he couldn’t refuse. Don’t forget that the first people we had military exercises with after the 2014 coup were the Azovs. That set up our relationship with the REAL POWER in Ukraine, the Azovs...so it’s likely Zelensky had no choice but to fight.

There are no Polish troops in Ukraine

All we hear, Polish, Polish. And the dead bodies are just piling up. Poles have acknowledged so far over a thousand bodies have been returned to Poland.

Interesting.

My only fear is that the NATO vs Russia Proxy war will expand and grow into a world conflict. Looks like Belarus is about to enter the fray, and Poland as well. With one bad judgement this thing could take on a life of its own—like WW One. More nations could fall into the trap. Russia can’t Beat the USA. but Russia/China/Iran/North Korea/Syria/and Cuba might take us down and NATO Too.

Russia is now a morally bankrupt state - well on its way to losing all legitimacy in the international scene. Economy in a tail-spin. No longer feared as the second-strongest military in the world. At best, the second-strongest in Ukraine.

GENERAL PATIENCE AND THE PAUSE THAT REFRESHES

The Russian missile and drone raids of December 5 and 6 have been announced by the Defense Ministry in Moscow to be targeted at the Ukrainian logistics required to sustain Kiev’s military operations. As Monday’s bulletin said, “the production and repair of Ukrainian weapons at the enterprises of the military-industrial complex were stopped, rail transportation of military equipment for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, including foreign production, was disrupted. The transfer of reserves to combat areas is difficult.”

Unstated is the reverse logistic: this is medical evacuation to the west for Ukrainian casualties. The blast and shrapnel intensity of artillery, missile, and drone weapons has been acknowledged by Ukrainian sources to have triggered the intensive hospitalisation requirements of NATO care levels 3 and 4. The hospitals working at these standards have all been located from Kiev westwards to Lvov, including over the border in Poland.

Polish Radio and the Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki reported from Lvov on April 29 that Polish personnel and hospitals were prepared for treating up to 10,000 Ukrainian military casualties.

Reporting by the western press agencies have also confirmed that train evacuation to the west was increasing through May; this reporting appears to have stopped since then.

The Moscow daily bulletins have been reporting between 200 and 300 men killed; reading these bulletins is censored in many NATO areas. The Russian evidence suggests that the Ukrainian wounded number between 600 and 900; altogether, a toll of almost a thousand per day, the magnitude of which was confirmed last week by the European Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen. When road and rail lines are cut, and military medevac operations stopped, this means that Ukrainian unit surrender rates will rise. The first Moscow sign from the General Staff that this is beginning to happen was published on December 2.

If you sincerely believe that, cranked, if you seriously believe that the United States does not have the moral high ground vis-à-vis Putin's Russia, then you really have no place here.

I know that it's a hollow accusation - and flung about much too casually here at Free Republic - but if that's really how you feel, then you should leave the U.S. and move to Russia. You would be happier there.
