He was referencing a CNN article. I've not seen it but highly likely it's nonsense as he says

The Ruble has been drifting lower.

It was only lower on the day of the invasion.

This despite an uptick in oil/gas prices.

Most of the invasion the Ruble was higher than pre-invasion.

Ofc it hasn’t crashed so there is no outcome.

Search Ruble to USD chart and see for yourselves-it’s the only accurate barometer.

Based on Russia’s stated goals at the outset of the conflict Russia has indeed lost.

The goals were to remove Ukraine’s leadership and keep NATO from Russia’s borders.

Today all pro-Russian politicians in Ukraine have no chance of power, and NATO rockets are daily pounding the Russian Army.

Not everyone.

MacGregor is in the public relations business for Russia, rather than acting as a serious military analyst.

Why hasn’t Putin pulled out (literally) the big guns and put an end to it already? All the tit for tat is just dragging it out and getting more killed.

If you are for Ukraine, they are winning. If you are for Russia, they are winning.

I’m amazed at how many Freepers hate Ukraine and support Russia.

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

I wouldn’t mind getting Travis’ opinion.

He’s an expert on Russia unlike many who talk nonsense especially CNN, etc?

Putin has sucked the west into a black hole of asset draining and our leadership is to stupid to realize it...

...could it be they’re under a spell of a delusion sent from above? Developing...

EVERYTHING that comes out of this administration is a complete lie.

Trump is a Russian agent.
The laptop was a plant.
The vaccines are 100% effective.
Inflation is only transitory.
Gas prices were higher when Biden took office.

Those just off the top of my head. Dozens more.

So when these Marxists tell me that Ukraine good, Russia bad and Ukraine is winning, I know for sure that the opposite is where I need to be.
