After Six Months of War in Ukraine, Momentum Tilts Against Russia
WSJ ^ | 23-AUG-2022 | Marcus Walker

Posted on 08/23/2022 7:09:26 AM PDT by SpeedyInTexas

Six months after Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, signs are accumulating that the balance on the military and economic battlefields is slowly tilting the way of Kyiv and its Western backers. ... Some results of the war already seem settled. Russian President Vladimir Putin’s attempt to rewrite the ending of the Cold War by restoring Moscow’s historic sphere of influence in Eastern Europe has failed. His war on Ukraine has instead united almost all of Europe against him, revivifying the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, which is poised to add Sweden and Finland as new members.

“(also sponsored by Pfizer?)”

Since I don’t know much about this 92 year old man you have been maligning recently, I decided to check on this Pfizer factoid. I despise Pfizer and would not take an mRNA vaccine if I could possibly avoid it. It turns out that Soros dumped his Pfizer shares in 2017, well before the Covid, much less the vaccine issue, existed, not to mention the HCQ and Ivermectin controversies. So stop spreading this lie.

23 George Soros Pfizer Trades
The first Pfizer trade was made in Q3 1999. Since then George Soros bought shares eleven more times and sold shares on fourteen occasions. The investor sold all their shares in Q2 2017 and doesn’t own any shares in Pfizer anymore.

The reasin you can’t figure out what NATO is up to in Ukraine, is because NATO didn’t invade it. Russia did.

and yeah Russia is chewing up the Western weapons given to Ukraine. Chewing,swallowing and dying.

Some of you live in a fantasy world divorced from anything that is actually happening.

A lot of the fighting is west of the most Russian areas, and Crimea is quiet.

Ukrainians themselves point to the agreement which left them demilitarized as the reason why they are unprepared.

Ukrainians themselves mention the demilitarization as part of the agreement, and they do so when asked why they were so unprepared in 2014 - AND STILL UNPREPARED IN 2021.

I’ll take their word for it.

Like pulling the Carl Gustavs from our active-duty troops?

I have zero problem _knowing_ what NATO is doing. They used Ukraine as the weapon to take out Russia. It backfired.Serious talk in policy circles about the utility of NATO. It looks like a murder-suicide with Ukraine as the collateral damage.

Did you catch the news reports on Putin meeting with the militaries of the BRICS+ coalition? Looks like Russian arm sales are doing just fine and they are not confiscating a thing from their troops to send elsewhere, nor are they begging for handouts.

Legacy state media in the West is but a fraction of the sources for _actual_ news in our world. Not just about this war, but about global economics, science, medical treatments and the sentiments of the majority of the people of the planet,especially about the WEF-controlled demolition of human civilization.

Try it sometime.

Kazan on 23rd August “Russia gains ground every, single day. Hundreds of Ukrainian troops die everyday.

Once Donetsk is cleared, the Russians will gear up to take both Odessa and Kharkiv and everything else east of the Dnieper river”

Russia retreats just a month after declaring kherson part of Russia. After the fale referenda.

You guys lost kazan. Now withdraw your troops from Ukraine
