Lol. Your sources rely on people with your mentality.

I refuse to invest the time to wade into the sea of dubious information on either side of this war. The only observation I would make is, no matter how it ends, the infrastructure of Ukraine has been degraded to such an extent that, as a US taxpayer, I can already feel the pain of rebuilding it.

[Sunsong]

Good news!

[adorno]

This can’t be true, because Putin is getting ready to raise the Russian flag over Kyiv and around other major cities in Ukraine. Putin the magnificent! Long live Putin!

Zelensky is said to be going into hiding, in the basement with Biden at the White House.

[foundedonpurpose]

It’s down to Newsweek reports. The insanity from our country is embarrassing.

[desertsolitaire]

I wonder if they are already firing those weapons at the Russians inside Russian territory?

[PGR88]

Marcus, you have my sympathy. I know its a tough job, but somebody’s got to do it, right?

[wildcard_redneck]

Sorry MarcyMaxipad, the Russians will still take Kharkiv. 😉

Zelensky is a hero who has many supporters on Free Republic. Sadly, the Putin lovers must limp away.

This is the truth seldom highlighted with all the hype surrounding drones.

[”Drones are just toys; they can’t damage lots of tanks or heavy equipment,” he said of the previous scale of cross-border Ukrainian operations. “But HIMARS can.”]

The one thing drones have going for them is dispersion. A single howitzer costs millions and can be destroyed by one well-aimed Russian JDAM-equivalent. The millions for one howitzer would buy hundreds of drones that can’t be taken out by a single bomb. Drones are less effective, but they’re a reasonable response to the Western refusal to supply Ukraine with the jet fighters needed to replace the prewar fleet’s losses to combat and wear and tear and reluctance to provide more air defense batteries to Ukraine. Without adequate protection from Russian air strikes, drones are one way to disperse Ukraine’s firepower.

The whole “offensive” was nothing but a ploy to draw and fix Uke reserves to that area. Worked quite well - ruskies in that area are now outnumbered.

ZEEPER FOLLIES PINGLIST!

(((PING!)))

[Chad C. Mulligan]

For Heaven’s sake Marcus, the only truth comes from Sputnik, RT, Pravda, et.al. So just STFU and get with the program here.. /sarc

BTW the Ukrainians utterly destroyed a Russian S-300/400 air defense system north of Belgorod on the 2nd, probably with a HIMARS. Geolocated footage, so no argument.
