War is the wanton sacrifice of the young and innocent for the sins and vanities of the old.

What a tragic mess this “war” has been.

It’s not just that the Russian army collapsed. It’s how they collapsed: the regular army ran away at the first whiff of powder and left lightly armed militia to face Ukrainian tanks alone. Now every Russian occupier knows that could happen to them, too. That should do wonders for their morale.

How many Russian-speaking people live in Ukraine?

I bet you don’t have a clue.


How many Russian speakers are in the Ukrainian army and fighting against Russian occupation?

I bet you don’t have a clue.

“You are an FR member who espouses the Left’s dogma of censorship.

You should be proud of yourself.

I know the newly named US Ministry of Truth would love to have one such as you working for them. Bet.”

Surely you know the difference between “censorship” on a privately owned forum and censorship by an arm of the government. Oh, wait; you probably don’t.

Speaking of censorship: your beloved mother Russia just cancelled the license and shut down the last major opposition media. I’m sure you approve there, though.

You must be referencing Ukraine....

‘Ukraine suspends 11 political parties with links to Russia’
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/mar/20/ukraine-suspends-11-political-parties-with-links-to-russia

‘Zelenskyy has consolidated Ukraine’s TV outlets and dissolved rival political parties’
https://www.npr.org/2022/07/08/1110577439/zelenskyy-has-consolidated-ukraines-tv-outlets-and-dissolved-rival-political-par

I am sure you approve there, though?

‘Ukrainian police [specifically the SBU] promise ‘reckoning’ for civilians’

I wonder how many civilians they murdered this time when they "liberated" villages?

How much money does Soros/Brandon have invested in criminal enterprises in Ukraine?

I bet you haven’t a clue.

No clue.

Seen no reports from the ground from various independent journalist sources I read from daily, thus far.

Thanks, but we already know RuSSia uses Hitler’s playbook.

Russian speakers here; Russian speakers there; Russian speakers everywhere.

Just like the fall of Saddam’s Iraq. Now comes cleaning up all the garbage left behind.

Business tip: open scrap dealership. Sell steel futures.

Your point?

Well, the thing is here, evaluating Russian and Pro-Russian sources, it’s pretty easy to discern the Ukies have dented the “special operation”.

That said, this still has a long way to go / play out, there will be many ebbs and flows, IMO, and the current trickle / slow walk of weapons to Ukraine is unlikely enough to sustain them in major offensive moves. Countries like Poland who earlier sent many weapons need to replenish their stocks, a slow process the West has not worked on being able to drastically ramp up when needed. So, that leaves weak stream Biden...

Here is the real story and everyone knows it:

The Russian troops are in a victorious retreat as the Ukraine Army runs them down in panic.

Too bad, so sad.

Get used to it.

And tell your buddies thanks for the munitions they left for Ukraine to use.

“future major offensive moves” I meant to say.
