In before the Putinistas say this is “fake news”
“It is just the latest humiliation for Putin’s army - once ranked second in the world..”
They’re the second best army in Ukraine.

Sounds like a scene from Benny Hill. Cue the Yakkity Sax.
The story is total bullshit. You will know why if you dive a little deeper than UK propaganda. It’s on the level of zooming onto Normandy Beach to take a photo of some sunk landing craft, and declaring D-Day to be doomed to total failure. Meanwhile, up and down the beach, 100s of more landing craft are getting ashore and unloading troops.
By far, head and shoulders above the propaganda from NATO or Russia, is the military analysis of Singapore-based vlogger Defense Politics Asia. He does a deep dive into the pontoon bridge imagery.
So, you can just stick with surface-level propaganda (D-Day is doomed!) or dig deeper and get the better picture.

Lets do some MSM math
150,000 Russian invasion force
25,000 dead
75,000 wounded (using standard 3:1 ratio)
that means Russia only has 50,000 troops remaining in the field.
Meanwhile, if you believe MSM, Ukraine had active army of 250,000-300,000, and has called up reserves of up to 500,000
Oh, and they are being giving $40 billion in aid and arms by USA and NATO
And yet somehow, Russia is still gaining territory. Hmmmm.
Amazing how incompetent the Russian army is 🤣🤣🤣
Isn’t there a new Russian General from Syria looking after Ukraine? I sure hope China is watching this chaos!
Without good air cover, it’s not gonna work.
Daily Mail propaganda is always good for a laugh!
but it remains just BS and trash.
Since they were all destroyed , those Zombies seem to be doing OK fighting in Bilohrivka.. Ukes have counter attacked likely with troops from L-chansk. it’s discussed from abt 12 to 16 min

It should be renamed The Dumbass River.
Soon that whole region will vote on being independent or to join Russia.
Ukraine is destined to a landlocked rump state.
BTW, the ruble is at a two-year compared to the dollar and considerably stronger than before the war began.
Thirty-six gas companies in Europe have agreed to pay for Russian oil in rubles.
But, enjoy posting all the propaganda while you can.
That’s a great movie 👍🏻
On the night of 20 Jan, 1944, 2 regiments of the 36th (Texas) Infantry Division launched an assault to secure a crossing over the Rapido River south of Monte Cassino, Italy in an attempt to breach the German Winter Line and to divert pressure on other Allied units attacking the key heights of Monte Cassino in the Liri Valley.
The attack was hastily and poorly planned, and the men received almost no training in the use of the rickety assault boats that were provided. The lanes of approach that the combat engineers had marked out with white tape for the night move had often been dislodged. Even though 2 rifle companies of the 143rd Inf. regiment succeeded in establishing a foothold across the river, they were quickly cut off and the reinforcing elements of the 141st Inf. regiment were shot to pieces by withering pre-registered artillery, mortar and MG fire from entrenched Germans of the 15th Panzer Grenadier Division on the far bank after finding themselves stuck in minefields.
The result was pure hell on earth for the men of the 36th Texas National Guard Division in one of the worst defeats of the US Army in WW II. The final result was almost every single man that crossed the river was killed or captured. 1,330 men were killed or wounded, 770 captured, and the 36th rendered combat ineffective for months. the Germans lost 64 killed and 179 wounded.
I have read many accounts of this battle. The men who fought it were embittered against the man who ordered it, Gen Mark Clark for the rest of their lives. A Congressional inquiry was launched into the battle after the war which ultimately exonerated Clark.
At the time, I bet those Texans thought that the US would lose the war. Sure, the Russians are inept and corrupt. But if you are willing to throw enough men at an objective, while learning and applying some lessons learned in defeat, you just might prevail in the end.
Having said that, I hope that the Ukrainians can defend themselves against this unjustified onslaught, but the US should stay out of it.
Russians try third time next week. Who knows?
LOLOLOL at all these goofs adding keywords like “dailyfail” and so forth.
The only thing “failing” is PUtler’s “invasion” and his propagandists and quislings trying to lie about it...
