Actually those are facts. But I see you just have name calling...which means you already lost.
Do not believe what you hear or see—Its ALL propaganda. Both sides do it —it is the nature of war.
They are not facts, at all.
Let me give one example of your non-facts...you spewed:
“Russian military has never been good or even adequate. They lose more men/women than the other side every time.”
And yet...

Excellent observations. It certainly good be either factor.
If we have been lied to about Russia’s military strength, I wonder for how long. As one who reads economic history from time to time, I remember problems that Russia had with storage and transportation of grain. In the 1970’s and 1980’s about 1/3 of Russia grain was lost due to poor storage and transport. That is a lot of grain.
A win is a win. Regardless of the cost to achieve it.
Wrong. A win with no causalities is better than a win with 100% causalities. You never served in the military, did you?
I see you’re focused on Russian only news sources. How about focusing on the fact. Meaning history. The current war is not known. Hint: there is one conflict they did ok in. See if you can find it.
Nice way to acknowledge you were talking out your arse.
Russia (and the USSR before that), was never a superpower. A superpower without a strong economy, is not a superpower. The USSR (now Russia), is a third world country economically. Even Italy and France, have stronger economies, and California alone is a stronger economy than Russia.
The world has been misled about what constitutes a superpower, and the only thing that defined Russia as a superpower, has been their nuclear weapons arsenal. Otherwise, Russia cannot sustain a long-drawn-out conventional war; that’s why they use the threat of using nuclear weapons.
The threat of using nuclear weapons is the only scary part about Russia, but then, using nuclear weapons would mean the end of Russia, and hopefully, there are still some sane people in Russia that can ‘handle’ Putin and his threats.
The U.S has only won two hot war against any enemy of consequence since WW2.
I think Russia is keeping this going.
Disrupting the NWO.
Syria
Libya
Iraq
Afghanistan - the longest war in US history.
All second and third rate powers......
Hypothetically yes. But most wars involve casualties.
I was thinking GW1 and Serbia
Yep, can include them too. My bad.
Yep, both sides are distractions. Intentional disinformation to make the situation seem weak when strong, strong when weak.
If you are losing make yourself look to be winning and vice versa.
So many contradictions you shouldn’t believe anything.
For instance if Russia is almost defeated why does Ukraine need our money? We already give them arms.
Been kind of saying this from Day 3 of this conflict.
Never seen the utter amount of lopsided BS being put out by the media in my entire life than with this particular war/conflict.
Not being able to handle massive casualties since Korea in war, is why the U.S turned to the notion of winning wars from the air. It has been succesful on occasions, GW1,Serbia and Libya. Too many body bags is the U.S achilles heel. And determined foes know that.
I should add. In the age of T.V and the internet compounds it for the U.S.
