Wishing you a happy DAY 50 of Two Days to Flatten Kiev.
Welcome to Week Ten
It really will…!
Two Days to Flatten Kiev
66 is old for a Russian man. Surprised he made it that far.
The consolidation of total power by Putin has begun in ernst.
You can take Putin out of the KGB, but you can’t take the KGB out of Putin.
Stalin lives!! Let the beheadings begin!!
That’s not what I meant. I meant things like the video game footage presented as real happenings, pictures from Lebanon of the big explosion there passed off as Ukrainian buildings destroyed, pictures of a gas explosion years ago presented as war damage, the legend of Snake Island, the “Ghost of Kiev” hoax that one of our astute Congressmen fell for. The media telling us Russia is getting their butts kicked and then reading about a thousand Ukrainian marine’s surrendering. The list is very long of false reports. The truth is that the Russians lie, the Ukrainians lie and the western media is at least as bad as both. Based on experience with lies so far it is hard for me to believe any single report from any media outlet on any Ukrainian events.
Too bad so many people take it as gospel.
A) The Russians are getting their collective butts wiped;
B) 1,000 Marines from the 36th NB did surrender because they were out of ammo and food plus being unable to link up with other units in Mariupol.
Falling for obviously fake stuff is not my problem and anyone with half a wit can see it as such.
Must be because of systemic racism./s
The problem is that so much is fake that it is hard to tell. I gave obvious examples but they are not all obvious. All sides in this are good at propaganda. The Russians getting “their collective butts wiped” is probably BS, I don’t see them losing this. I guess it could happen. Look at us, we got our collective butts wiped recently by a collection of backwards goat herders. They even got our cool equipment so I guess Ukraine actually winning is not entirely out of the question. I think it is not likely but I have been wrong before.

I disagree vehemently about the US in Afghan - that’s on Biden, not the Military; no troops lost for over a year, Taliban on the run, Bagram secure. Then Russia Joe’s deliberate disaster.
The Russians getting their collective butts wiped is a reality, even if you don’t want to see it. No one loses that many men and equipment in 40+ days and can still claim to be a first rate military power. No one. And don’t go pointing at the UA losses - they are not supposed to be a first rate power, but third rate at best. That just compounds the Russian’s losses.
Biden was responsible as CIC but I don’t think anybody outside the US sees it as anything but a loss for us. It doesn’t make me happy to say that, I did 25 years in the Army and more than a couple years in Afghanistan but we didn’t win. It doesn’t matter how vehemently one disagrees with that assessment. The facts are that after 20 years of wasting our bold and treasure the Taliban hold all of Afghanistan and much of our equipment and we even left a bunch of Americans there. I would say that we lost. I used to serve on the old Inter-German border and back in the days we trained to fight the Russian led Warsaw Pact Armies. The take away for me was that Russians are historically concerned with achieving objectives, not so much avoiding collateral damage or casualties. They aren’t like us in that respect. We’ll see if that still holds and how this incursion plays out. I have actually been surprised by their restraint so far.
