Forbes ^ | 24-MAR-2022 | David Axe

The claims of Ukrainian counteroffensives in the area surrounding Kyiv began more than a week ago. Now we have our first objective observations confirming that, yes, the Ukrainian army is on the move. And the Russians near Ukraine’s capital city could be in big trouble.

"More broadly, the Ukrainian operation around Kyiv underscores the conclusion many observers of the war reached after just two weeks. Russia is no longer winning. And it might actually be losing."

Yakov appears to be the General Milley of the Russian armed forces. Plenty of bling on the Jacket, nothing to show for it. I guess he will get one more medal posthumously.

How many hundreds of thousands of Russians have been killed, surrounded, purged or have deserted so far? I’ve lost count but I believe at least 25 Russian tank columns have decimated. Hell, no wonder! The Russians haven’t had gas, ammo, food, generals, vehicles or nerve for nearly three weeks now. How do the Russians identify the 60% dud missiles they’ve been firing. The Russians use the 40% working missiles exclusively on hospitals, schools and nuclear facilities. The 60% duds are always the ones fired at the all mighty Ukrainian heroes. I wish people would check their notes to see that there aren’t 10,000 Russian troops left alive in Ukraine.

Well, at least it means they claim to have some sort of satellite evidence. Or sumthin.

Yes, soon Ukrainian forces behind the brave leadership of their own George Washington, Volodymyr Zelenskyy will soon be knocking on Putin's door in Moscow and demanding his head on a platter. But what it really means is that people in the West believe that winning a propaganda war is the same as winning a real war. It goes right along with believing that men who pretend to be women are real women and that despite all evidence to the contrary that we are all going to die from global warming in a few years. This is not to mention the election steal and vaccines with a high rate of dangerous side effects which have completely lost their efficacy but are still being pushed. It means that you should not trust the media when they are almost all universally invested in a narrative.

Well, I stopped taking notes two weeks ago when the Putin fanboys told me the glorious Russian army had already won and they were just polishing their tanks for the victory parade through downtown Kyiv.

Wow, I missed those posts. How about a link to one? As far as the laughable disinfo the Biden fan boys post here, you really don’t need notes. Any post by the Biden fan boys that has the word “Ukraine” in it has been proven to be Biden fan boy BS, as this shovel full will soon be proven to be.

“So once again, white people are murdering other white people.”

Actually, a large percentage of Russia’s conscripts/service contracts are minorities.

The Chechens fighting and dying for Putin are muslims.

You're such a fool, Speedy. There is no Russian offensive in Kiev. The Russians are simply there to keep what's left of the Ukrainian military occupied while they finish off Mariupol and majority of the Ukrainian army in Donbass.

The eastern half of Ukraine and the entire coastline is gone and it will remain permanently under Russian control if not be made a part of Russia itself.

The Russian Defense Minister, Shiogu, isn’t even a soldier yet he wears “General of the Army” rank insignia on his uniform. Maybe we should send our Deputy Health Secretary, Vice Admiral ‘Rachel’ Levine over there to swap war stories and get drunk on vodka.

That 60% failure rate isn’t even an estimate — it’s a wild @ss guess. Nobody has time to police up the duds and compare them with Russian sortie rates (which won’t be available for years after the fighting is over).

“The eastern half of Ukraine”? You need to learn how to read a map my dear boy.
