They are sooo pulling for Putin and so demoralized that Russia is struggling. But remember they all swore that the Russians were merely running military training exercises."
Enjoy this thread : Putin Gives His Most Fiery Speech Yet, Here Are The Key Points (full transcript in comments) posted on 2/22, just 2 days before the invasion , wherein Putin promptly delivered on batshit crazy, and his FReeptard roaches came out of the woodwork to felch Putin's shite.
There are at least a dozen threads in the weeks before 2/24 where these same FReeptards insisted that Putin would never invade, while simultaneously slandering every living Ukrainian as a Nazi lofl.
Kiev that was supposed to be overrun within 3 hours by “shock and awe” that never materialized.
Why do there seem to be so many ‘ Conservativer-Than-Thou ‘ Freepers that seem to favor Putin?
Is he the head communist?
“ This is not pro/anti Putin or Uke. It is anti-lies. If you can’t or won’t recognize the propaganda, you have war fever. I prefer to make decisions [like going to war against Russia] based on actual facts.”

Good on you. It is very disappointing to see so many FReepers falling for the propaganda on both sides, the lack of cool, rational analysis. I expected better.
7,000 is the conservative US estimate.
Because we know the Biden administration is conservative in its estimates.
“Kiev that was supposed to be overrun within 3 hours by “shock and awe” that never materialized.”
Putin’s got a little man complex neurosis with the US. We did shock and awe in Iraq and had tanks in Baghdad’s center in a few days and he wanted to show they could do that too.
FAIL! Now he’s stuck in a quagmire, it’s his personal tar baby that he’s trying to get unstuck from.
thanks brother, I was beginning to think I was the only one left.
For those of us who have been around on this planet long enough to remember, Breshnev, Andropov, Chernenko...and now Putin, we don’t easily forget. Trust but verify. If Russia is our friend, why are Putin’s nuclear weapons aimed at the United States? As Ronald Reagan said, “we don’t distrust each other because we are armed. We are armed because we distrust each other.” Those weapons are aimed at the United States. Everything else written on here is irrelevant. But that fact...and that fact alone is chilling.....
[Because we know the Biden administration is conservative in its estimates. ]
If Russian is our friend, why are they best friends with all our sworn enemies?
Why did they have people in Iran developing the IED’S that were responsible for the majority of US deaths and casualties in Iraq? How some can cheerlead for the one that facilitated those deaths to that degree is disgusting.
“ I am not worried about WW3 at this point. Even Putin must realize now after Iraq, Syria and Ukraine that in any conventional fight against the west (and especially against the American military), he would be wiped out.”

I agree with your assessment of a conventional fight - and that is EXACTLY why I am worried. Piss poor Red Army performance in Finland (after Stalin gutted their officer corps led Hitler to conclude that he could just “kick in the door and the whole rotten structure will collapse.” That cost them 26 million dead and nearly destroyed them. If Putin thinks that the Chinese and/or us believe that, then he might just decide to use the nukes as a way to forestall a later attack by an emboldened enemy.
This article is pushing the bogus false narrative that the Russian Special Military Operation is failing, stalled, demoralized.
“... so demoralized that Russia is struggling.” You know this how?
Is it from the totally unified media, BigTech, government, social media that have been telling us holy truth for (at least) the last three years?
Has anyone considered that maybe the Russian objectives have been largely met?
Who seriously thinks that if Putin had given the order Russian forces would not have already taken over the entire Ukraine? This is the army of Stalingrad.
The orders were/are most likely Rules of Engagement which inhibit offense in order to limit exploitable bad optics: e.g. Not to diminish it’s tragedy but “10 people killed in a breadline”, Really? in a war almost a month old ?
The instantaneous near universal condemnation and demand for expansion of this war is unprecedented and suggest extremely powerful global forces at work.
Yes, Putin is a thug killer dictator like Xi,’Kim and the Ayatollahs but foremost a nationalist who will not be tolerated by the SorosSchwab WEF/NWO.
As a bonus the S/S NWO benefits from war and worldwide disruption and chaos.
Colonel Douglas MacGregor would disagree with your assessment, it appears. You might want to check out his latest comments about the war to educate yourself on the matter.
I’m watching Ukraine on Fire as I post this. So many freepers have fallen for the progressive manipulation tactics laid out in the movie that was filmed in 2015, FFS! I never expected freepers to be so gullible, which is pretty sad.
A lot of DB’s in this world. Unfortunately, we have more than our fair share.
You definitely need to watch “Ukraine on Fire.” Demonizing the leader of the opposition is one of the tactics the left employs in their manipulation techniques. Are you always this gullible? 🤣
Won it with both hands tied behind our backs.
Putin’s poll numbers have gone up 10% since this operation started. Sounds like the Russian ppl support this. IJS...
It’s all very sad....soon Russia will tire of the name calling and bring in the heavy stuff and wreck the capitol.
It will be very sad and there will be needless loss of life.
Who said they wanted to “flatten Ukraine?” You’ve been watching too many war movies. 🤣
