So let us consider some actual facts:

Russia and its allies captured the major industrial port city of Mariupol from frontline Ukrainian troops and are still in full control of that city.

Russia and its allies expelled the Ukrainian Army from the Luhansk Republic and are in full control there.

Russia and its allies are continuing to retake cities and villages in the Donetsk Republic and pushing Ukraine to the west.

Russia carried out a tactical retreat from the Kharkiv Oblast and moved those forces to the Donetsk region. Yes, they surrendered territory. They retreated.

During the current offensive, according to Ukrainian sources, Ukrainian troops are suffering at least 5 times the casualties of Russia and its allies.

Russia’s Air Force is intact and has suffered minimal losses while Ukraine’s Air Force has been erased.

Russia is producing its own missiles, rockets and artillery shells and is not dependent on another country to continue its fire missions while Ukraine is totally dependent, now, on western supplies.

In its current offensive in the Kharkiv oblast Ukraine has failed to carry out an operation in depth–its attacks have been confined to the frontlines while Russia’s artillery and missiles continue to rain down on exposed Ukrainian troops.

That’s simply inaccurate
TASS maybe somewhat controlled but ours do it from shared cultural Marxist transform America sympathies so which is worse?

But they do indeed publish less than encouraging news like the Kherson pullback and retreat or regrouping and they reported the car bombing of Putin ally daughter

News you rarely on

Pushed

Russian collision

What Bengazi?

What Fast and Furious?

What Afghan withdrawal fiasco?

The Big Lie?

Opposition is misinformation?

Trump wants to F Ivanka(the worst)

Nothing on Hunter laptop zip

Vindaman nothing burger

Jan 6 bigger than Pearl Harbor lies

Todays steady push polling to depress our voting motivation

Covid lies

Syrian chem attack lie

All that propaganda complete with Ukraine war reporting which is worst propaganda I’ve ever seen

Yet somehow now a few but loud freepers quote CNN and Daily Beast as credible

This is a far bigger threat to us than Pooties wet dream of pushing Russian sphere to old East German borders

That you fail to realize this is disappointing

Russia can’t even liberate Luhansk and Donetsk, with full mobilization in those small regions even putting the old men to fight. They are already on the verge of falling again.
