They have great smiles.

That is what the article said. Why did you dismiss it as fake?

The article said it was in meltdown. A week or two ago they were crowing about how it was so bad the Russians didn't even have potatoes.

Really? We have a decent economy which is going to boom once the BBB starts having its effect.

Biden blew how much money? We've depleted our weapons stockpiles to a dangerously low level.

Your bias led you you to dismiss it. You never looked to see that their sources are Russian. I even verified r to you but you still won’t acknowledge the facts contained in the article. What is your credible source on this issue?

You say my bias led me to dismiss it. No. My experience watching British taboids lie over and over and over and over again about Russia/Putin/Ukraine once this whole thing started led me to dismiss it. Did you dismiss all the lies they told which I outlined for you a few posts ago?

“You say my bias led me to dismiss it. No. “

Are you saying you are not biased against them?

If so, why did you dismissit out of hand?

“Did you dismiss all the lies they told which I outlined for you a few posts ago?”

I ignored the list since you didn’t do any citations.

As I thought, you just ignored anything inconvenient to your arguments.

Are you saying you are not biased against them? If so, why did you dismissit out of hand?

I'm saying my experience with seeing the BS they claim led me to dismiss what they're saying now as BS.

What is your credible source?

What is yours? It sure isn't the British tabloids. What is my source for saying what they've reported is BS? Subsequent events showing their claims were BS. ie Reality. That's my source.

[TexasGator]

“Reality. That’s my source.”

Reality as reported by whom? Tass? RT?

Reality as reported by whom? Tass? RT?

Reality as we all observed it. Did the Russians freeze to death in their tanks? Did their economy collapse? Did they run out of shells? Did Putin die of cancer? This isn't rocket science.

Was there anything in the article that you would say is untrue?
