Really? the Madcow? Jeez that’s low.
hahaha good one.
So Sorosnista, are you anti-WEF as they are in bed with Zelensky?
” ... on her Twitter feed she made a comment to the Huffington Post that she had to pass a history test to become a citizen and she challenged the morons at the Post to take the test.”
Let me first stipulate that (1) she is not guilty; (2) the morons at the WaPo may, indeed, have trouble with the citizenship test. However, a former student of mine (from South Korea) recently took and passed the test. He said that, in hindsight, he over-studied for the test because it was embarrassingly easy. One needs a score of 60 to pass (six correct answers out of only ten questions). He got the first six questions correct, and the examiner then stopped the test.
Nobody in previous wars ever had accurate casualty numbers they could publish. Even reporters on the spot. The could see the dead and wounded, sometimes, episodically, but had no way to compile overall numbers or relate that to an operational or strategic understanding.
Ive read tons of war reporting, from the Penninsular War on (try Napier). Go read Ernie Pyle or Alan Moorehead and see what they could say at the time.
You call people who are anti-Putin (because he’s a thug) Putinistas anyway out of nowhere because that’s a liberal tactic. You are like Rachel Madcow. The shoe fits, so you’ll have to wear it, fake Freeper.
Both lean conservative so of course I will agree with some of their stuff. But both also have their limits as to how far they will challenge the establishment narratives such as not challenging the last presidential election, though at least the NYPost tried to report on Biden’s laptop prior to the election so I will at least give them credit for that.
There has been intense fighting around Izyum for seven weeks now. The lines have moved little, and the Russians have “refreshed” their units there at least twice over. Its starting to look like Verdun.
Its another piece if information. We need to consider ourselves as intelligence analysts dealing with “open source” information. Correlate, check, develop historical understanding for context.
HA! Yeh the whole Russian army is being wiped out by the Ukes. 😏
The Poles and Czechs and Slovenes and Lithuanians, Estonians, Latvians and etc. and etc. are all “in bed” with Zelensky too, and they are anti-WEF or at least skeptical.
Your wordview is absurdly binary. Its a great messy world with much more than two sides.
The Daily Mail also reported on Bidens laptop, at the same time as the NY Post. And with more pictures, if that mattered.
The world is a very complex place and so is the news environment. Outside the US there is no lockstep coverage, as we see in the managed US MSM.
Zelensky and his gang are grifters.
The US has no business being in Ukraine.
I love the Ukrainian people and have many workmates who fled Ukraine when the war started......
If you want to take the time you can find the reports of the deaths of the Russian officers in their local newspapers and other media in Russia. Presumably they have no reason to lie and say some person died who didn't. In many cases you can look at pictures of the funeral.
And just in case you didn't know, Glenn Greenwald is both a competent journalist and not a conservative.
This isn't believable fiction anymore.
In the modern Russian Army, there were divisions or may be armored, motorized rifle, artillery, airborne, missile and aviation. In other branches of the army, as a rule, the highest formation is a regiment or brigade. On average, 12-24 thousand people were in the division. Division commander major general. motorized rifle, artillery, airborne, missile and aviation. In other branches of the army, as a rule, the highest formation is a regiment or brigade. On average, 12-24 thousand people are in the division.
So that’s all you’ve got. Didn’t answer my question, how many little kids did your nazi orcs murder or rape this morning?
People from St. Petersburg and Moscow are less affected by the war, they can usually pay a bribe to avoid conscription.
