“ The terror squadron’s reported killings are a crushing psychological blow for Vladimir Putin.
And how would the author know how this effects Putin? ”

Because the advisor from the drama department says so 🤪

Because Putin sent them in there to be a psychological blow to the Ukrainians.

With the lack if real news coming out, I suspect Kiev is in trouble

Sounds fake. Basically, anything, at this point, with a number associated to it is most likely propaganda. With all the plans falling out of thr sky, the sheer number of tanks destroyed and with the power & communications still available one must wonder how the Russians got to Kiev. Sounds more like Ukraine should be a few miles from Moscow.

First casualty of war is the truth…

If they took out 56 tanks in one battle there will be plenty of evidence.

Given no video or photographic evidence has been presented color me skeptical.

Seriously this propaganda is getting ridiculous. The western media wants us to think Russia has a bunch of 1960s equipment and feeble untrained idiot soldiers. Badghdad bob to a T.

Those TOS-1 MLRS with thermobaric warheads (which Russia used in Syria) have reportedly moved into Ukraine toward its second largest city,Kharkiv.

The Russian assault on Kharkiv failed. They have encircled the city, and the assault forces have apparently moved on to reinforce the attack on Kiev.

Some bombardment of besieged Kharkiv has begun, including the destruction of a gas pipeline, which many residents rely on for heat during the Winter.

Some sources have reported that Russia intends to try to induce panic to drive a surrender of the city, and set an example for the rest to capitulate.

Using such weapons against civilian populations would be a clear violation of the laws of war. Violators should be hung as war criminals, including Putin, if he ordered it.

Yeah same here. Not hardly any on the ground reporting and really no stuff out of Russia either, so makes u wonder if they are getting their tails kicked. Defiantely hard to know what’s happening. Regular Ukraine folks shouldn’t have to suffer regardless

Yep. In this day and age, 56 destroyed tanks would have been photographed and all over the internet by now.

And where are the live streamers?

Also, several of the pictures that have been put out there have been identified as photoshopped or pictures from previous disasters such as a gas explosion at a high-rise apartment building in 2018.

The first casualty of war is the truth. Supposedly there is this huge war raging all over the country, yet the Ukrainians have suffered around 300 deaths and 1,100 wounded in three days of war. The sounds ridiculous.

Their deaths were reported by The Kyiv Independent news outlet

Some Twitter account. I thought Twitter banned people for false information.

“When the Russians rolled across the border day one where were these super Ukrainian fighting forces?”

Maybe a ploy often used similar to the second battle Ai Joshua 8,1-34 KJV

This would be good news, but remember we are in a propaganda war as well, every bit of “news” is designed to provoke an emotional response.

“smithereens”? People really still use that word? I thought it went out with The Pink Panther and Friends cartoons.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

According to Biden, that’s a bunch of malarkey. No joke man.
