Whatever happened to FR. In a couple of weeks, I’ll have been here 20 years. It’s unrecognizable.

Russia didn’t start this war in 2014, the American federal leftist government, under Obama, did by installing a puppet government in Ukraine. That sentence is full of false statements, but even if the USA did install a government in Ukraine it was Russia in 2014 who sent in soldiers and artillery and armor and started a war.
From what the Putin fan club posts it seems like Russians have no free will. They are always "forced" to do things like start wars, kill people, rape teenagers, etc.
Is the Russian government so dumb that they just respond like robots to the world around them?

Whatever happened to FR It has been flooded with pro-Russian propaganda posters. Some are on the Russian govt. payroll, some are just misinformed Americans, and some are so wrapped up in their fears of what they remember as a powerful Russia that they would rather surrender to Putin out of fear than consider the world as it is today.

In a Facebook post on Sunday, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said about 65,000 Russians had died since the full-scale invasion began on February 24. That's more dead than U.S. soldiers killed in a decade in Vietnam.
Makes sense because Russia is desperate now after their army of 190,000 troops during the invasion had been destroyed.

Could not agree more, but as a poster below wrote, I'm fairly certain much of this non-sense is paid troll work

Actually it is the sadness of families who have lost someone.
The four men listed in this article lasted less than two weeks from when they were conscripted. They boarded the buses on September 26th, and were killed in combat by Oct. 7th.
Alexander Pomigalov, 23
Igor Puchkov, 27
Ivan Pukhov, 41
Alexandr Parilov, 36
What a waste of lives.
You can call it propaganda if you want, but the article was published in Russia.
To: McGruff
The disgust level is high. Yet the war mongers on FR pile on.

It’s not propaganda when it is VERIFIED BY RUSSIANS THEMSELVES IN PHONE CALLS SPEAKING TO OTHER RUSSIANS IN THE RUSSIAN LANGUAGE.

The author ‘Andrew Roth’ has always opposed Russia in his writings so it’s fair to at least call the article one sided. Clearly his choice of words shows his bias.

i think when the dust clears we'll find the number of Ukrainian deaths far exceeds the Russian count.....which by the way the number of dead is not what wins conflicts - in this conflict especially.
This war will only end in negotiating and as I see it neither Zelensky nor Joe Biden are the least bit eager to stop the death count. They both should be off the table for negotiating and let Europeans Negotiate with Russia.

It seems the good news is more young good looking Russian women will be available to live in the US.

Actually that was a problem in the old soviet airforce in the far east. Alcohol was used in some hydraulic lines and there was a ratio of jet fuel to Alcohol that had to be maintained resulting in the need to dump jet fuel so as to cover up the fact that they were drinking the alcohol.
