I took the time to see the interview. I made sure the on screen translation matched the transcript.
So I know what was in the interview.
I don’t need anyone to tell me what was in it. If you saw it, why would you?
You and I have been on Free Republic since its inception.
We know that it is more than a news site. It is a place where conservatives post articles that are newsworthy, and then discuss them. We discuss what is wrong with them, the biases, the lies, the half-truths, as well as the truths and facts.
So as far as that goes, why would you chide another FReeper who had an opinion on something you know. Why come here at all?
I take no side on the Ukraine/Russian war except to note the horrible lack of news from both sides here (and I mean the two wings of the FReeper argument which has devolved into name calling and propaganda). I am retired military who spent many years on a battle staff and am very interested as to how the war fighters are directing the war but any news here is useless as it is biased.
The only certainty I get is that the war is in a stalemate, neither side is rolling up the other side, and whatever tactics they’re both deploying aren’t working except the old tried and true static line butchery of 1864/5 Petersburg Va, Northern France in 1915-8, and the siege of Leningrad, etc.
Why is that?
I think it has to do with the end of the mobility nad maneuver once provided by airpower and fast armor, and frankly, that has me worried because that was the military I served in. This new way of war with drones, instant Internet access to data once difficult to find, electronic eavesdropping on cellular and wireless networks... It is totally ignored on this forum...
In any case, we shouldn’t discourage discussion—I mean real discussion not name calling. If you weren’t doing that I apologize.
