There are yet unconfirmed reports that the head of Russia’s Wagner mercenary group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, announced late on Sunday, April 2nd, 2023. that his forces have raised the Russian flag over the administration building of the town of Bakhmut in Ukraine. There is no question that Bakhmut will fall. Zelensky has sent over 100,000 men to their death there desperate to keep the money flowing into Ukraine. It is a sad state of affairs when a high-heel dancing idiot orders generals to fight to the death all for his pride and money. The fall of Bakhmut is simply inevitable and the West’s propaganda that Russia would be defeated and that they were weak was all wishful thinking of the Neocons who can think of nothing but war.

It only took nine posts to get the ad hominem attacks going...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem
“attacks the character, motive, or some other attribute of the person making an argument rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself”
Amazing, Russia invades another country and it’s the defenders who are to blame. Not one word on the actions of the Russians. Again, that logic is just amazing.
If you have not noticed it, the ad hominem attack started with the article itself.
Don’t let our resident Ukraine Propaganda Freeper hear this.
She will have a Heart attack.
> We have no business funding a European war by way of money or materials. <
Bingo. This is a European problem. The EU as a whole has an economy comparable to the United States. Let them deal with the Ukrainian war as they see fit.
It is simply not in our core national interest to get involved.
Wonder what the ammunition costs for the russians have been if the US supplied 100+ billion dollars can't keep the uk'es supplied with enough ammo?
Correction noted and I don’t disagree.
China pretty much owns our government/media complex a along with Wall Street and the Chamber of Commerce.
Shameful. In a sane world there would be accountability but we are just on to the next outrage and can’t even process the last one in all the noise. They keep getting wealthier.
The rate of “inflation” in our military industrial complex is insane.
100 billion is more than all but our own and China’s defense budgets. It’s crazy when you think about it.
25 billion more than the UK spends on defense annually to the Ukraine in one year and that is on top of all the stuff we have given them preceding the conflict.
At last...
Someone who gets it!!!!
So you’re both claiming that Armstrong is NOT a convicted huckster who served 11 years in jail?
C’mo man,
Only an idiot would not know that bloodthirsty vampiress Victoria Nuland is the most real war criminal. No joke: (if one is that brain dead)
No idiot I’m claiming you didn’t address his points you just attacked his character instead. That’s the sort of thing people do when they have no argument against the points he was making.
"holding" the western part of the city or "trapped" and unable to be supplied or relieved.
The two main roads out and into Bakhmut are compromised and any supplies are coming through some small roads and overland. As far as withdrawing without it becoming a route.... well that's another story.
Russians just doing what Russians do.... expend men, find the enemy, destroy every single building or cover with artillery or missiles and then rinse and repeat.
The Wagner group is probably combat ineffective and will need to be refilled with more convicts, mercenary misfits and whatever else they put in that group of storm-troopers.
My prediction is that Ukraine is admitted to NATO in the next few years. But first it will be reduced to the size of Switzerland, with large pieces of it ceded not only to Russia and Belarus but also to NATO neighbors like Poland and Romania.
Wait a minute!
Is this about Armstrong all along?
It most certainly has nothing to do with 10% for the big guy.
(BTW, protecting Ukraine has not one damn thing to do with USA sovereignty)
Not our circus, not our monkey.
It IS dementia joe’s monkey.

Also Hungary, and that’s not a bad prediction, as the war won’t end until Russia is happy with the final configuration there.
🇷🇺 have advanced deeper into the centre of the city and taken control of what was the city council building.

At any rate, like mentioned above, the article's title is ad hominem in and of itself. So take that plank out of your own eye.
No! Ukraine is just pulling back so that the Wagnar convicts will expose themselves! When the super Tanks come all will change over night. Nothing can stop the Super tanks, they have thick armor no shell can breach, they are faster than any thing Ruzzian have. They have magic Atomic shells that can destroy anything they hit. The Super Tanks from Germany/England and America will change the war in a week! Bakhmut will never fall! The new Ukraine Army is coming and with it the powerful counter attack. The whole of the Donbass will fall to Ukraine by May 15.
