Today is actually my 25 anniversary

Totally faithful for the whole time including dating

My womanizing as #metoo likes to call old school men ...long long past

I’m disappointed in you.

But I’ll be ok...I’m going to our rural community pool

Have a nice day

They are recruiting the Landwehr at least (over 40 reservists).

And this re the colonels is based a report on Russian media.

Hi.

“Russia has achieved all of this in less than two months.”

Is that a positive? A satisfactory time line?

Just curious.

So the Russian media (covering the funeral) is creating anti Russian propaganda?
Thats what this DM article is based on.

It seems that your knee jerk is on autopilot and creating absurdities.

For a rational person such reports offer some insight into past operations, such as where and how the units under their command were engaged, and their success or otherwise.

Russian funerals in Russian media with flowers and medals and grieving families are real and no longer being censored by Putin. Be mad at Putin, not me.

LOL. Russia probably lost 10,000 colonels in the Battle of Stalingrad alone (1.12 million troops killed)

If the Daily Mail offers you insight, I suggest you up your game to CNN

Larry Johnson, former CIA analyst that runs the Sonar 21 website, finds the Russian progress quite impressive. He compares how much better the Russians are doing than we did in Vietnam.

Thanks.

Larry Johnson, former CIA analyst

I know him and have “talked” with him before. He is a FReeper, or was.

My military background says differently than Larry’s and from an impartial observer. I compare other invasions to this one.

Ive posted on this forum why the Russian military has performed pooly. I’m not going to repeat myself.

Johnson is accurate most of the time because he has access to certain intel sources still, that others don’t have, but I look at comparisons. Troop levels, force disposition, force multipliers, outcome, etc.

For example, a similar U.S. sized/combined arms invasion would have captured all of Ukraine in two weeks tops... maybe three. Imo.

That’s why I asked the question.

The Daily Mail almost always simply prints what others say, such as communiques from the Ukrainians, or other sources. In this case, Russian sources. The DM are almost always simply a conduit of information. You are welcome to reject such information certainly, but the grounds of your rejection should, properly, address the actual sources. In this case Russian media.

Daily Mail was also anti-Trump and did a total disservice to Melania our First Lady.
