This kind of progress?

Vladimir Putin's war has not gone to plan. Here are Russia's three biggest failures in Ukraine so far

Our so called leaders have been launching lies at us for so long and so bold they believe their own BS. They can lie to their own people without direct blowback. Telling lies to someone who can blowback is a whole other matter.

Of course Ukraine will lose!

US foreign policy is to spend as much money on the military industrial complex as possible while generating a blizzard of propaganda as cover.

Once you “get” that, everything starts to make sense.

The invaders LOSE by not winning. The country invaded WINS by not losing. Russia losing and Ukraine is winning.

Why end the war? When it's over this bum goes back to being a piano player.

Even if Russia succeeds in pushing the Ukraine of of the Lunetsk People’s Republic and the DOnetsk People’s Republic, it still failed to restore the elected government which was forced out by the Euro revolt in 2014.

I don’t understand people feeling sure either way.

There is a large amount of western weapons being introduced, and a large increase of Ukrainian allied troops coming.

How effective will they be?

I don’t know, and I don’t know why other people are sure of the outcome

“British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said that Ukraine’s war with Russia was a straightforward case of “good versus evil,”

Where do so many stupid people come from?

It is good to know that you are omnipotent and can define “winning” and “losing” for the players.

lol.

Boris has been a stunning disaster on the vax mandate issue and now anti-Russia xenophobia.

Arma 3 footage passes off as real says otherwise and that Ukraine is winning. MSM TV says so.

You have an army of “journalistic” and other “expert” whores on the payroll of Western plutocrats feeding you talking points.

That may feel like omnipotence, but it is a bargain with evil.

"The invaders LOSE by not winning. The country invaded WINS by not losing. Russia losing and Ukraine is winning."

The main goal that Russia had for the invasion of Ukraine was securing a land bridge to Crimea and that has been accomplished. With the surrender of the Azov Brigade in Mariupol it has been achieved. It is a simple, hard fact - undeniable.
