Social media is too busy deplatforming Russian accounts while allowing only the Ukrainian position to be amplified. "We're winning but please send us tanks and planes! And if you can shoot a gun, we'll give you one!"
When only the losses of one side are considered newsworthy, it's easy to think the other side is winning.
In truth, Twitter is going to have a meltdown in the coming weeks. The bulk of the Ukranian army, which has been stationed on the east fighting the DPR/LPR breakaway factions since 2014, is facing total annihilation. They'll be surrounded in the Donbas kessel, cut off, and wiped out after which the Russian army will regroup and take Kiev from the south.
And all those airplanes we're sending them? The Russians will crater every useable airfield in Ukraine, leaving only NATO bases from which they can operate.
The Washington Post is wise to concede defeat. The real world is a different one from what you see on Twitter.
So is your wife Russian or ethnic Russian from Ukraine? How about some truth in advertising?
Bottom line is people like you don’t care how many Ukrainians Putin murders. In for a penny in for a pound. We use to stand against such things. Apparently, no longer. What a sad end for conservativism.
What sort of Russian dream world is that map from? They control less than quarter of the land in red there.
Is that the map fo where Russia was meant to be by now? If so it shows what a disaster the invasion has been.
The western borders of Zhytomyr and Vinnytsia Oblasts will be the new western border of Ukraine.
the old Austro-Hungarian oblasts aren’t worth the trouble keeping. The best region for guerilla warfare is the Carpatian mountains in Zakarpattia Oblast. But that should go back to being part of Slovakia like it was prior to WW II.
