It’s almost inevitable that Russia will eventually prevail but it wasn’t as easy or as much as they wanted. They would have been obliterated by a country with adequate air defenses. They may win but only because they have more poor boys to sacrifice as canon fodder. If they didn’t have nuclear weapons they would be just another tin horn dictatorship.
Beyond the hyperbole accepted at face value as reality, there is so much wrong with this “analysis” there is no point on dissecting it.
Agree wholeheartedly.
You post nothing but Ukrainian propaganda that comes straight from Kiev. It’s often factually wrong or based on rumors and innuendo and usually doesn’t pan out. I prefer to look at reports from groups on both sides, regardless of their position on the spectrum. Then I try to determine the veracity of what they’re saying based on their history in addition to discounting the hyperbole and editorial comments. The truth is always somewhere in the middle.
Russia is going to win. The only question is does Ukraine surrender or does the the world get nuked first?
estimated at 900 – are ultra-nationalists and accused of harboring neo-Nazi and white supremacist ideology. Can’t get much more fascist than that.
***So... just being ACCUSED of harboring NAZI and white supremacist ideology is “can’t get much more fascist than that.” Incredible bullshiite. FR is constantly ACCUSED of harboring such things but it doesn’t exist as far as I can tell. You might as well stop posting on FR since we are ACCUSED of sumthin that “you can’t get more fascist than”.
Fake news. I stand with Ukraine.
You disapprove of my posts in support of Ukraine. OK I can appreciate your thoughts. My husband asks me when I share some replies why would I go to Free Republic for abuse.
I explained 3 Reasons:
1- I have made friends over the years. [I’m addicted!]
2- I am exposed to multitude of sources.
3- I don’t believe some comments are really intentionally hurtful. Just some folks way of being witty.
4- I love receiving freeper mail on either &/or sometimes BOTH sides of the same issue. LOL
I also appreciate the dialogue of mutual respect from mail because it comes from individuals with a genuine interest to sharing insight & perspective. And, IMO that is a good thing! But then again, I have never received unkind or demeaning freeper mail.
Today for example, I received some feedback from both Russia as well as Ukraine positions that didn’t care for my article: “Putins goals and philosophy: Timothy Snyder: If Ukrainians hadn’t fought back, the world would’ve been a much darker place”

[AND THAT IS OK WITH ME! :) ]
We have been told a variation of this BS since day one, beginning with "Biden is dragging us into a war hysterically lying about an imminent Russian invasion." Of course, the Russkies invade and 60 days pass and still no western troops on the ground.
Plan? The plan is to keep this conflict going until the Bear makes a move to intimidate Biden and he calls for war against the Bear just like Lyndon Johnson did in Vietnam.
think you nailed it
To many Russians on this website!
Why do they keep unnecessarily mentioning that?!
Do they wish to imply that the Russian troops are all staunch lovers of Democracy?
Regards,
Excellent observation!
Regards,
Upon just what do you base that bold assessment / recommendation?!
Have "enough" poor Russian soldiers died, in your opinion? Do you want the wanton missile strikes against Russian oil depots to finally stop?
Easy enough to make facile recommendations like that when it isn't your country!
Regards,
As stated.....”On Sunday Russia opened corridors across the front line and asked for those forces to surrender...... the Zelensky government ordered them to stay”
Then they wonder why the deaths continue.
Yup....Ukrain army causing issues in Moldovia and Trans in order to esculate this war.
