Is there a cause for celebration in any of this?
For either side?
So Nazi style thugs captured a city in a sovereign nation?
Were the same kinds of people celebrating when Hitler captured Polish towns ?
I haven’t been on here as much because catholics trying to crash the forum in an election season, so I’m low on info right now:
Tell me, are there still a bunch of rabid pro-Ukranians on here or have they gone away, or at least quieted down, yet? A casual glance indicates this is perhaps true.
The “Ukraine now!” folks are maybe sitting one out in the green room with the pro-vaccination-ers....?
Champagne for a Russian invasion and destruction of a city—that ruined the lives of everyone there?
You Putinistas are a strange crowd.
So far it’s been a lot of borrowed money to run cover for Biden’s family enterprise.
A war is a war is a war even if it’s a proxy war. In this case an undeclared war consuming huge amounts of fake money.
No wonder we can’t pay our bills.
The head of Russia’s Wagner mercenary force has played down the role of the army in capturing Bakhmut, the east Ukrainian city Moscow claims to have taken yesterday.
In a voice message published by his press service on Telegram, Yevgeny Prigozhin said: “During the taking of Artyomovsk, practically no one from the army helped us”, referring to Bakhmut by its Soviet-era name.
As we reported earlier, Volodymyr Zelenskyy has denied Russia has taken full control of Bakhmut and says its forces have partly encircled the city.
Wagner fighters have long spearheaded Russia’s campaign to take the city, taking heavy losses in the process.
In the same message, Mr Prigozhin praised individual Russian army units, while restating long-standing criticism of the leadership of the Russian defence ministry, which he has accused of hampering the war effort via incompetence.
In a statement earlier today, the defence ministry restated its claim that Russian forces had finished “liberating” Bakhmut and gave most of the credit to Wagner’s assault units for the result while saying that its own aviation and artillery units had helped.
