I admire how well you spin a defeat for the Ukrainians into a chaotic retreat of the Russians with their tail between their legs. The Russians have pontoon bridges just up river and it’s the Ukrainians who are fracking their own and scrambling in panniked disarray. This will be over soon. Thank God for Putin who has remained calm amidst the bombardment of lies and misinformation from Zelinsky and the west who are desperate to create some kind of “win” for the Ukrainians. Putin at any time could have clamped this down hard and brought Zelinsky to bend the knee but he’s being measured and rolling with it, trying to avoid the nuclear war the west is itching for.
Putin Putin he’s our man!
If he can’t do it, no one can!
You are so deluded. The west is not itching for a nuclear war and I doubt Putin wants the prevailing westerlies blowing fallout all over his fall crops in western Russia. Pontoon bridges are an iffy prospect for much traffic. You should have seen photos of what Ukraine did to several pontoon bridges after they had removed the bridges Russia needed, and then destroyed the pontoon bridges. If they release flood waters from dams up river the pontoon bridges will float away nicely.
“Thank God for Putin”
What kind of a tool supposedly serves in the US Navy and then ignorantly postures like Putin is a good guy because he hasn’t gone nuclear over Ukraine?
That is one of the biggest piles of crapola I’ve ever read. You nimrods have been saying this garbage since Putler invaded. Yet, Russian lines only move backward. We know exactly where the front lines are. Russia controls less territory now than they did in February, LOL. You are one SICK puppy. You should be locked in a straight-jacket in a padded room.
And I doubt God knows PUtler.
You are not a conservative and you are a disgrace to the human race.
I never knew we had such sick psychos IN AMERICA!
Of course Russia made gains in the first few months and continues to make advances in some areas.
They’re the party playing the offense. Ukraine is playing defense.
You must be fun at a football match; every time your team is moving the ball forward you must be thinking that it’s proof that they’re winning.
The Ukrainian definition of a win is not the same as Russia’s.
Russia, in order to win, has to not just gain the territory by moving forward, but then hold it long enough for the Ukes to give up on taking it back.
That could take years. In fact Russia itself is saying that “mission accomplished” could take as long as two generations. The only way to reduce that is by limiting its ambitions. Its tough talk about other conquests after Ukraine is ridiculous; does Russia really want to throw its entire national youth at multiple meat grinders for decades purely to give the Revanchist elite a bit of hand relief?
By contrast the Ukrainian definition of victory is much simpler: get Russia to a point where the risks outweigh the benefits.
Currently the equation is the other way round; Russia sees trillions of rubles if it succeeds in holding south Ukraine. But if it can’t hold that region, it’ll become increasingly expensive to indulge Revanchism.
If Russia blows its load trying to hold south Ukraine, there’s at least six other regions in the former USSR that might exploit the opportunity, break away from Moscow, and refuse to throw its young men into Putin’s meat grinder.
And China might even welcome that.
