How weird. What you do with this stuff is make FR look like a deranged blend of “Dr. Strangelove” and “Romper Room”.
Let’s face the facts that Russia and Russian military is a clown show these days. Vlad Putin should have been aware and in charge. The only people who still worship Vlad are here at FRee Republic.

Defeat no, set back, only momentarily I’m afraid.
Unexpected and quite embarrassing.
The Russians have been losing since they advanced into the Ukraine!
They deserve it.
Ukraine Reels After Missile Strike, Sends Reinforcements to Bakhmut; Putin Briefed by Surovikin
Update on Russian military operations in and around Ukraine for December 17, 2022:
- Russian missiles and drones deliver massive damage to Ukrainian electrical infrastructure;
- The extensive damage reported by Russian strikes contradicts Kiev’s claims of intercepting “most” Russian missiles and drones;
- Pentagon plans training program for 500 Ukrainian forces per month falling far short of necessary numbers just to replace lost Ukrainian manpower;
- Ukrainian General Zaluzhny admits a growing logistical crisis and shortcomings regarding Western systems transferred to Ukrainian forces;
- Zaluzhny complains about HIMARS’ limited range; - Zaluzhny demands arms deliveries on a scale the US and NATO are incapable of;
U.S. v. Russia, who’s winning?

At some point in the next weeks or months the West will be forced to concede that it cannot continue pouring billions into Ukraine without inflicting enormous damage on its own economies and people. At that point the memes of Russian weakness and defeat will crumble. NATO faces the real risk of being demilitarized. But it will not be the result of a frontal assault by Russia. Russia will continue doing what it is doing — i.e., pulverizing Western wonder weapons and bleeding the Ukrainian and foreign mercenaries with artillery and missiles.
That would explain all the candles in Ukraine ... candle light victory parades.
Winners figure out how to win and then go to war.
Losers go to war and then try to win.
Russians went to war having forgotten about Ukrainian mud and winters....
... it has only been a few decades, people.....
He is the one person the Putin fan club should listen. Instead they ignore him while fawning over Z-Telegram channels, Scott Ritter and Douglas Macgregor who make it up as they go. SMH/CMTU.
