Retreating my arse.

Russians forces are kicking the ever loving NATO trained garbo out the Ukrainians. Even the male tard NYT is NOT making any such mentions of such:

‘In Ukraine’s South, Fierce Fighting and Deadly Costs’
https://archive.ph/MtHyd#selection-383.0-383.52

If anyone is ‘desperate’, it is the US/UK/EU/Germany/NATO given their nuclear weapons use rhetoric.

“On Monday, Russia lost full control of Luhansk after a village close to Lysychansk was recaptured by Ukrainian troops.”

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-60506682

Sounds like either the Russians retreated or died.

Your own 5 day old article describes the Ukrainians making gains against Russian retreats.

Combat is deadly, but the Ukrainians are prevailing over the Russian Army in your article you keep posting.

Dispute that 5-day article. Pretty clear what it is indicating. Horrendous to massive losses for Ukrainian forces.

There is and are no Russian ‘retreats’ other than the Ukrainian operation were 2000km was seized. Other than that, nada.

Why was Trump supplying weapons to Ukraine? Why does Trump want Biden to supply Ukraine with weapons and jets?

There is nothing to dispute, your old article describes the Ukrainians pushing back the Russians and saying that the cost of the combat is dear.

Your article says that Ukraine is paying dearly (which is to be expected), but is taking ground from the Russians, ie defeating them in this deadly combat.

Old article still relevant.

Produce your sources to indicate that the Russians have been retreating within - I’ll skip the 5-day sh*t you stuck on - week.

If you can’t or don’t, that article remains relevant.
File a complaint maybe?

My source is your article, read it.

Read the sub title where it says Ukraine is making gains.

Then read the article— “That push forward has continued, even as Ukraine has made a more dramatic surge this month in the northeast, routing Russian forces. Ukraine is regaining territory in the south, though slowly”

” ... the CIA intentionally over-estimated Soviet capabilities to justify higher spending on the American military-industrial complex.”

That may well have been the marching orders that the CIA leadership received, but I witnessed a fierce intellectual battle between opposing sides of the issue both within the agency and in academia. The “hawks” won the battle but lost the war, so to speak, as it came to light in the late 1980s that the official CIA estimates of Soviet military strength were wildly overestimated and the burden of its military on the Soviet economy was similarly underestimated.

I obviously read your posts.

You post articles you don’t even read to make claims that aren’t true.

That article you keep spamming threads with disagrees with you, and you don’t even seem able to see that, since it seems you refuse to actually read it.

Because Trump does not trust Putin or Russia. Which is great. Standing alone, without WEF interference, Russia is our enemy. Which is the way it was during Trump's first term.

WEF is playing "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" games which supports the massive arming of Ukraine by the WEF member governments, and this has created a Hobson's choice scenario that didn't exist during 45's first term. WEF wasn't pushing their agenda into reality when Trump was in office before, they knew better. Think about it - the Ukraine is NOT a free country and its actions in suppressing free speech and dissent are the direct opposite of our values here. Why would we support a country like that? Zelensky is acting just like the demonic leftist/globalists here in the US, because they are one and the same. Trump will publicly change his view eventually, as he already does not like the WEF and does not trust them either. They are the most pressing enemy we have. China & Soros are WEF members (also Lizard Cheney is a member). We weren't a member but became one when they had Brandon and his minions installed in the WH. "America first" and "MAGA" does not fit the WEF agenda one bit

Ask Trump why he wants jets and more given to Ukraine and why he calls Putin’s invasion a holocaust.
