But I was told Russia was going to win.
Just a HT: Did you know that London is the recognized money laundering capital of the world? I had no idea myself until I read it on several sources. But, it makes sense when one looks into it.

Or maybe not.
Why do you support Putin in his attempting Holodomor II?
How has Putin ever helped you?
What do you gain if he prevails?
Honest questions that I have never seen a Putin supporter answer.
“Why do you support Putin in his attempting Holodomor II?”
BS, speculative nonsense. Let me know when 20 million starve.
I want the US to mind its business for once.
Ukraine isn’t NATO, and never an ally.
“How has Putin ever helped you?”
He never has. I’m a US Veteran and engineer. I do electrical distribution design. Neither Slavic toilet does anything for me.
“What do you gain if he prevails?”
The same as all US citizens.
As far as the US is concerned, there is nothing more corrupt than the above.

Perhaps I could have said it better, but that is his stated intent.
—I want the US to mind its business for once.
That I understand, but “Fortress America”, never was and can never be.
—Ukraine isn’t NATO, and never an ally.
Yes, a pretext for most except for some well-set over at SHAPE Belgium.
That said I totally support Ukraine.

Should Putin come out on top, we all lose big time.
This would green-light China to make a few acquisitions and I suspect that unlike Russia they have the means and methods. (But untested)
Also, you may have seen where Russia is allegedly trading nuclear technology for the many drones from Iran.
Thank you for stating your position, most of what I see is name-calling, BS and more BS.
And a few that troll for fun or political advantage, are clearly not conservatives.
No problem. I always state my intentions, except it’s the opposite when I’m being a wiseass.
But I think when I’m being a wiseass, I try to make it readily apparent that I mean the opposite.
I usually add “...”after a sentence.
You have excellent sources?
Then why have you said

“All Ukrainians who have surrendered just were made to sign a document saying they wouldn’t participate further and they were let go. Many Russian soldiers were met with dancing Ukrainian soldiers because they were happy to see them.”

“
Russians, they are doing their damndest to avoid civilian casualties and protect them. Ukraine is doing the exact opposite. They stage their gear and operating bases in schools and residential areas and hospitals to enrage the west through the media. This is like Bosnia all over again.
I am not giving an opinion by the way. These are facts. I cannot disclose yet how I get them.”

“Democracy? That’s simply mob rule.”
Your sources seem to be often wrong
You seem to suffer from extreme retardation. I’m sorry. Maybe the Biden administration can use your expertise for foreign policy.
I’m just reporting to you what I see because I watch his news pressers and he definitely takes harder questions to Joe Biden does you can see for yourself just Google it but as I pulled it out there are limits I don’t think he will allow anyone to ridicule her and I made the reference to polonium
I thought that was all clear enough
Russian media is like our media liberal and they do question Putin who they view as a Neanderthal nationalist but there are limits you certainly would not make fun of him publicly but you can question him no doubt about that and like I said when they push too hard he stares at them and laugh and I think that’s probably a warning
Our media for the most part is simply lockstep with the Democrat party or better yet the uniparty
This war of Russia is a pretty strange friendship between neoconservatives real liberals and Cold warriors
Assuming you’re correct that Putin takes tougher questions than Joe Biden what does that say about our media and the narrative that Putin is crazy and about to die from cancer
I think it’s propaganda
And on a scale I’ve never seen
Here’s his last news conference
They are polite but they ask concise questions that sometimes beg difficult answers
Note Putin enjoys high 80s popular support
And the press knows this I assume
They would of course never questioned him in public like they did trump
But he takes good questions I’ve learned the fair amount by watching his press conferences
Like anything else in this conflict you have to take it with a grain of salt
You certainly do get a good picture of Putin’s reasons for going to war some of which I’m sympathetic to like the repression of Russian ethics in the Donbass from maiden onwards somethings that many of those forum are either ignorant about or choose to ignore
Does Putin have imperial designs yes I think he does to a degree but not to the degree that our media and politicians promote for their own ends
Personally, Putin may have imperial designs but they won’t be accomplished by force, he’s not going to invade Poland or the Baltic States, they are in NATO and he knows that would mean war with the US and the NATO countries, who combined are superior to the Russian military unless he uses Nukes.
Whatever side you are on with respect to the war in Ukraine, sooner or later the war will be over and the propaganda will be worthless, one side will have a ton of explaining to do, who that is will be up for debate.
While you say

“Well, my father in law was KGB”
And you?
Typo, wife’s grandpa.
I’ve got two working brain cells.
Your glorious Ukraine just got busted with more murdered and dismembered children killed for stem cells. Are you a recipient? That why you care so much?
Yeah right. Ex official-anonymous source- insider says-experts say. LOL
All ways to try to legitimize made up crap.
