I wouldn’t be so quick to call them pro-russian, if they weren’t so enthusiastically cheering for russia’s success, while dismissing out-of-hand the literal mountains of dead bodies that russia is leaving behind as irrelevant. It’s sickening.

"I would prefer War College analysis to the sophomoric BS that discussing Ukraine has lately attracted."

That's why you were so busy upgrading the PA Primary thread the other day with ad hominems against Oz, right?

Go to bed, gramps.

Hey blowhard. I suppose you have a direct source of information to all of the totally and completely accurate information on the Ukraine war.

so everyone just stop and listen to this misrare individual. The know all, see all, bloviates all because he has all of the answers. So much so that if you disagree with him then you are a blowhard.

I was expecting Mariupol to fall at the end of April. They did well to lst this long and divert attention away.

Odessa isn’t going to fall, not yet.

“Let’s see them hold it”

They will do so easily.

Due to proximity, and their willingness (and ability) to kill everything with a 40 mile radius.

Britain and France negotiated the German-speaking Sudetenland away from Czechoslovakia and gave it to hitler in the name of ‘peace negotiations’ to keep people ‘safe’. How did that work out?

The constant comparisons of current events in the Ukraine to Hitler are inappropriate, given the numerous differences in terms of the geopolitical state of Europe at the time.

It’s not “the Ukraine”, speaking of geopolitical differences with the past.

Even the neo-con ISW has the front line about 80to 90 km north of Mariupol.

Hence my third point referenced: media support is all but unanimous for Ukraine's version of events on the ground, and any reporting to the contrary is shouted down (or outright censored, depending on what part of Europe you may be in). This makes the aforementioned Freepers very suspicious, to the point of questioning whether the "mountains of dead bodies" are even real (rightly or wrongly); from what I've observed, there's still disputes over the narrative regarding the alleged massacres in Bucha, and who was responsible.

I maintain that it won't be until long after the fighting ends that we'll find out the true extent of casualties on the ground.

But given that only pro-Ukrainian sources (as far as I'm aware) have been the ones retweeting video game footage (more than once, at that!) as evidence of Ukraine destroying Russian assets, I don't think their skepticism is unwarranted.

Force of habit, much like "Kiev" (which is all I've known it as prior to 2022) versus "Kyiv." No offense meant.

Who gives a rat’s behind what is taking place far away in a land no one truly cared about until about 3 months ago. We have our own problems here at home and the last thing I wake up thinking about is two sh— hole countries that I’ll never visit nor vacation. Apparently there are those here that care deeply for these places.

"The blowhards here on FR tell us that Ukraine is winning this war."

Major fractions of the Japanese people believed they were winning right up to the two A-bombs and surrender.

That was in response to his calling for his opponent to be banned from running for public office on account of some ancient homophobic, Islamophobic tweets she made. He endorsed cancel culture as a political expedience. And that is not ad hominem, that is criticism on the merits. In fact, you have just committed textbook ad hominem AND misdirection. Very sophomoric. Very BS.

“I get my info direct from eyewitnesses, people actually in Ukraine, through their friend and relative who happens to be my wife who is from Donetsk, and hates the russians with a fierce passion.”

There you go. That’s the prejudice you have. Your borrowed hatred from your wife and relatives. It’s not even your own. It’s the hatred against Russians that’s caused this war. That’s allowed the Nazi Azov Battalion to form and exist, and act in the brutality that they have and be normalized in Ukraine. It’s monstrous.

It’s true I do love the Russian people. I helped all I could to overthrow the Soviet Union. And do other things. I was there boots on the ground.
