My suspicion has always been that this war is pretty much going Russia’s way and has been since the beginning. The Globalists have milked the whole deal and scored $40B from the US and a lot of cool equipment that can probably be sold afterwards. The Globalists wanted Ukraine to win, of course, but that wasn’t going to happen. So they just made the best of things and ran a scam. But the game is just about over now.
Russia must be doing better than what they were trying to make us believe if leftist a-holes at The Guardian are writing this.
It’s weird to see so many “conservatives” on Russia’s side. The war has clearly gone much worse for Russia than it had planned, and I’m glad that Western aid to Ukraine has played a role in that. Russia intended to take Kiev and other major cities. That’s not happening.
I’m sure there is more than a little bit of the defense armaments companies wanting a real-world test of their weapons.
Yeah but if the war was going Russia’s way they would occupy Kiev and all of Ukraine by now, and Zelensky would be dead
Excellent summary—sad to see so many Freepers fell for the scam.
Yes, many of us knew this from the start.
We recognized Zelensky, Kolomoisky, and the Biden cartel as the corrupt, disgusting scammers and scoundrels who would start and support a war for personal gain.
I suspect you are correct. There’ve been a lot of wild hyperbolic articles (starting with “The Russians aren’t prepared to fight in winter”. Really, they said that.) and it’s all been downhill since then. I also suspect that when it settles down we’ll find that the Ukes committed far more atrocities against their own people than the Russians did. But time will tell.
Yeah. The preachers in the Worship Soros church appear to have gotten lockjaw all of a sudden. As have the choir and amen corner.
I think Russia is more likely than not to take Donbas. However I also believe that this has cost them more and they will end up with less than expected. That might count as a win but a Pyrrhic one. This war has demonstrated that their equipment is overrated, their logistic ability to project power outside their own border is pathetic and their military culture is antiquated.
