Russia will eventually withdraw leaving partisans to continue some amount of chaos in the region.

And this take is based on what? The Ukrainian offensive failed miserably everywhere the Russians had choosen to defend. The only success was the area where the Ukrainians managed to put ten to one numerical advantage against the Russian rear troops and rebels. The idea was to encircle and take them prisoners which didn’t work. Not a lot of the defeat and victory respectively.

“And this take is based on what?”

I guess I missed it too. When did the Russians say that they were ‘defeated’ by Ukraine in the north?

In any case, this site looks to be more of a fund-raising site for the Neocons than anything discussing reality.

Yep, the more unrestricted access to information people have over time, the more ridiculous propaganda we have.

“Where the Russians chose to defend”.

And those “wheres” are strikingly few and reducing.

Time for you NorseViking Russians to stop your invasion of Ukraine and withdraw

I can wait a long time while watching people paying their respects to their dearly departed Queen on Sky News. But every hour the Ukrainians are consolidating their gains.

This is how Russia plans to bounce back with more of the same.

Hilarious

A who’s who’s of neocons and woke globalists

This is my favorite line:

“ We do not report in detail on Russian war crimes because those activities are well-covered in Western Media”

Somebody call PT Barnum

The internet was free in the beginning but slow

Now it is pure Soviet

Tell me there’s not an irony when Tass is more truthful than 95% of western media

Funny Newsweek oddly enough does some decent stuff on this

Don’t be stupid, the more invested, the more the objectives needs to be expanded. There are Baltic states and Poland in need of liberation.

You are not the only one who sees it. Folks in the third world who have access to Russian, Indian and Chinese media are laughing their butts upon listening to CNN and claims that the Western media is free.
