“There is no way US, Poland, etc., will ever allow Ukraine to be land locked.”

If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.

“What are all you nato shills gonna do two weeks from non when ukraine surrenders and they hang that sick pervert Zelenski??”

It’s been two weeks and four months since this prediction.

I’m not saying you’re terrible at predictions, but I’d love to hear how many more weeks until you think Ukraine surrenders.

At what point to do you recognize the Russian airborne slaughter at Hostomel, the retreat from Kiev, the retreat from Nikolaev, the retreat from Kharkov, the retreat from Sumy, the retreat from Chernigov and the abandonment of Snake Island under fire are evidence of Russian failures?

Where is Ukraine winning?

Where is ANY Ukrainian counteroffensive?

The Russians retreated from Snake Island after repeated bombings and artillery attacks showed the impossibility of the Russians to maintain air defenses on the island.

Look at a map of the front lines from April and compare to today. The Russians have retreated from Kiev after the disaster at Hostomel. They have likewise retreated from Chernigov and Sumy, being unable to maintain those axis of advance. They have also been pushed back from Kharkov and Nikolaev. The hilarious Russian fanboy response is that these were ‘goodwill gestures’, or that Putin didn’t really want to isolate and seize the capital, that was a clever brilliant ruse! He wanted to get the VDV slaughtered and abandoned at Hostomel.

What still amazes me is when predictions of ‘two weeks’ can be clutched four months later and people can be duped to think the aggressor is succeeding in their aims.

The live interactive map is on fire! Vlad is pounding the snot out of the Ukies, the artillery strikes are enormous, across the entire line, click on each strike symbol to get full reports.
…..70,000 rounds a day….not now, I am willing to guess over 125,000.

to defend their country against invading Russian hordes!
———
There are no hordes- yet. The Russian Congress ( Duma) has not mobilized their military yet.
When/ if they do fully mobilize, look for a 1.5-2 million “ Russian hoard”….that of course will not happen, Vlad is doing fine with the 100,00 he has emplaced, do keep in mind, the Eastern Independent Russian provinces ( Donbass area) have supplied 80-100,000 fighters in support of THEIR independence from Ukraine.

Mercouris is a known Russian state propagandist. He works for the Russian government.

If you really believe he is an independent source you are a total fool. If you are just posting propaganda because you are pro-Russian or get a paycheck for posting then you are just a liar.

Happiness is sending Billions to the most corrupt country in Europe (perhaps the world) and see it disappear in a black hole. Even more sad is that the money is borrowed and adds to the national debt.


Germany, for example, is far more corrupt than Ukraine. Government officials there in collusion with corrupt Russia to set up a fake charity to bust Trump’s sanctions and funneled tens of billions of euros into it. Now they “can’t recall” the details. Now German are bailing out Russian connected german energy companies. More tens of billions. Ukraine are pikers in comparison to this industrial level of corruption.

If you believe western MSM you are a bigger fool. Numerous other sources confirm Mercouris reporting. Didn’t Trump warn you about the western fake news?

If you are ex military, the Military Summary channel you tube resource gives daily front line updates, try it, you probably will not like it ( reality), it jives perfectly with Mercouris’s frontline reporting.

Meanwhile, the west is getting crippled by inflation (20 percent plus) , lack of fuel, lack of power, the EU panicking….and Vlad keeps rolling in the dough, …their is more to war than territorial gains ( yes, Vlad now controls 30 percent of Ukraine), and Vlad continues to say Checkmate.

Nearly all civilian deaths are in Donbas and Luhansk

Russians have no objection purposely killing their own sympathizers

If you dug beyond Soros media you’d know that Goldberg

Instead you post old pics claiming veracity you don’t have

Irrelevant and false possibly

The Putinists will latch onto every single nimrod on the ‘net who says whatever garbage lies they wanna hear...

This sickening alliance that some on the QAnon-Right/Alex Jones “right” with PUtler is going to destroy us. If we let them...

It’s provably false. Orders for US weapons are pouring in due to the massive success on the battlefield. (I support selling weapons to ANY democratic country but not to most of the Middle East or other failed states.)

The burnt-out destroyed Russian equipment is everywhere visible by anyone and everyone all over Ukraine.

I wonder how it feels to be so weak minded that you can’t admit the truth staring normal people in the face.

Russia now controls 30% of Ukraine's land area but it's more like 90% of the place's economy and, funny thing, that land area figure could easily jump to 90 or 100 percent after the Donbas is totally cleared of hohos.There won't be anything but cow pastures between the Russians and the Dnieper after that happens, i.e. no place to run, no place to hide...

Russians are taking extreme care to avoid harm to civilians and civilian infrastructure, as Mercouris notes. You are lying.

LOL, you sure are.

RuSSia is evicted from the entire north of Ukraine and pushed back in the east and south.

40% territorial losses for RuSSia.

Shove your fascist RuSSia supporting lies where the sun doesn’t shine.

Poland is ordering over ONE BILLION in Abrams tanks. Taiwan and Estonia want the HIMARS. Norway has ordered missiles. South Korea has ordered torpedoes.

YOU LIAR.

No rational person will believe anything anyone, either side, says during a war. We will just have to wait and see what eventually happens. I just wonder what our (the United States’) vital interests in the Ukraine are. To me, it just seems that all sides are simply following a scenario written by the WEF, but that just may be one of my hand-ups.

The vital interest, as articulated by President Trump many times, is kicking Russia out of Europe and replacing their influence with American energy. That will bring good jobs here and weaken the Russia-CCP-Death to America Iran Axis.
