fter facing a string of setbacks nearly a year into its war on Ukraine, Russia is planning another major offensive to make up for its losses on the ground and justify its heavy human cost at home.

Intelligence analysts and researchers largely agree there is an offensive brewing in Moscow, likely to come sometime in the winter or early spring.

(Yeah, Seriously) Still, there is no clear picture of what that will look like, and whether Moscow has any real hope of retaking the momentum given Ukraine’s determined resistance and Western backing.

“We have no doubt that the current masters of Russia will throw everything they have left and everyone they can muster to try to turn the tide of the war and at least postpone their defeat,” Ukrainian President Voldymyr Zelensky said in an address earlier this month.

meanwhile fagboy zelensky is busy ‘not letting the crisis go to waste’ by rushing through fag marriage and banning Christian churches and any opposition parties.

What this conflict has revealed to me is how weak Russia really is. It has almost been a year and it can’t successfully win a war against the Ukraine. My fears for the Baltics and Poland have really relaxed.

As we have learned this past year “planning” and “executing” are two entirely different things.

There is no reason to suspect that their execution of a second major offensive will be any less inept than the first one.

Meanwhile the Ukrainians are now a more effective military force than they were a year ago.

“It has almost been a year and it can’t successfully win a war against the Ukraine. My fears for the Baltics and Poland have really relaxed.”

Making a cheap BS story of the “Domino Theory” of why Russia must be stopped in Ukraine.

Still, dumbass neocons keep trotting out that bizarre fallacy. And they do it because so many are dumb enough to believe them.

Just me, but if we had a neighbor threatening to shoot us or our family EVERY DAY for the past year if we didn’t shoot him the sheriff’s department would.

Russia lost to Japan in the 1904-05 Russo-Japanese War, and then to Poland in the 1920-21 Russo-Polish War. Without Germany invading Poland, couldn't have won a war against it in 1939. Finland fought the Soviets losing only a little territory in the 1939-40 Russo-Finnish War, and the Soviets couldn't win a battle against Germany before the West send aid and a British fighter squadron. This is just another Russian war for the 21st Century to add to the list.

Sounds like this Neocon hasn’t yet gotten wind of the Liberation of Soledar, or the upcoming Liberation of Bakhmut.

But no surprise, though, considering the types of people he likely hangs out with.

Nice try. Fagboy zelensky and globo-homo MIC are the ones trying to push faggotry on everyone including kids. It is satanic.

By that metric the US must be pathetic. How long were we in Afghanistan before walking away, and without the Taliban being backed by the equivalent of NATO?
