These reports are farcical.

Russia has been at this for 3 days. They have not launched a serious assault on Kiev.

But they’ve destroyed nearly every Ukrainian military installation. Have established air dominance. And move at will.

CNN/Leftist media are on their knees right now thanking God for this war. They have a chance at ratings again and they are going to make the most of it!

Senate Intelligence Committee Acting Chairman Marco Rubio on Twitter an hour ago:

**********************
Marco Rubio

1h
We know what #Putin’s plan was:

- air dominance in first 12 hours

- Destroy #Ukraine military comms in 36 hours

- Bypass major urban areas,cut off Eastern Army,encircle #Kyiv & get govt to flee within 48 hours

-Install puppet govt within 72 hours

He is still 0 for 4
*************************

For a number of reasons, I actually do believe this was Putin’s plan.

Russia is obviously trying to not target civilians.

It is exceedingly easy to indiscriminately wipe out a city using MOABs, chemical, or nuclear weapons. Russia has these.

NO source for the “Putin raging” story that is circling the globe today...a Latvian dude who once met Putin is the only “source.” And Zelensky’s claim that Turkey agreed to bar Russian warships from the Black Sea is not confirmed by Ankara or NATO and is prohibited by a treaty. The media is not distinguishing itself in this war.

Read this article explains this completely. https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/ukraines-deadly-gamble
Don’t expect US or EU to do anything more than talk and sanctions; all will go back to normal once operation is over; Ukraine Leader is an idiot so is Biden that is what caused all this.

also, for any posters here who were assuring everyone ten days ago that the notion that Putin would invade Ukraine was all a big hoax, maybe sit this one out a while until you have immersed yourselves in Russia and Ukraine and begin to understand what has been going on over there

Biden’s primary goal is to keep the Ukrainian bribe money flowing to his crime family.

“ According to intel from Riho Terras, a member of the EU Parliament and a former defense minister for Estonia, Putin is furious that it hasn’t gone as quickly or as well as he thought it would.”

And how exactly would this guy know Putin’s state of mind?

State of “reporting” these days.

When Russia had a hard time trying to subdue the Chechen rebels, they went berserk and just bombed the hell out of Chechnya and flattened the entire place. No concern abut women and children — Just DESTROY EVERYTHING.

I’m afraid this will be Putin’s last straw if he can’t subdue Ukraine in a timely fashion.

Let’s hope Putin is not even contemplating the use of nukes,tactical or otherwise.

Most people here probably know more than you do.

Kind of sad you had to post that nonsense to yourself. LOL

The same folks that gave us the COVID narrative the last two years have moved on to provide the same BS in their reporting of the happenings in Ukraine!

He was on TV yesterday, and quite clearly raging.

This is not going well for Russia. Putin has made a catastrophic decision. He does not have the support of his own people to prosecute this war. Russian troop morale is low as their logistics are lacking, especially food, fuel and sophisticated weaponry, they are taking inordinate casualties and have been unable to take major objectives. Putin knows he will be held accountable, deserted by his cronies and will be deposed. Comrade Xi is taking notice and taking pause. The people of Taiwan owe the heroic Ukrainian people a great debt.

The Ukrainians could hit a nerve with some propaganda of their own. They can offer a safe surrender to any Russian soldier. They can announce to the Russian people, especially the parents of the conscripts how sad they are about the necessity of killing and maiming their sons who are forced to follow Putin’s lunacy..

“But they’ve destroyed nearly every Ukrainian military installation. Have established air dominance.”

With what? Their missiles and planes that don’t work?

Even the Russians don’t dispute that Ukraine has taken only a few hundred casualties at this point. How has every military site been destroyed if almost none of the military have been harmed?
