Does anybody even believe any of this stuff (from either side)?
Nope!
Do you believe MSN or the Daily Mail. Tabloid trash journalism supreme.
There are reports that Hot Ukie Tank Girl scraped her elbow and mussed her mascara while coolly disposing of another 75 Russian T-90 tanks.
These are from Russian sources discussing their own losses in Russian media. Don’t hijack the thread with the usual “its all lies!” BS.
I believe in maps showing who holds what territory. As it stands now, Ukraine has regained territory lost(with substantial American hardware) and Russia isn’t the cold war juggernaut we thought it was and has a hard time beating a barely second world nation.
Putin maybe fighting with one hand tied behind his back but Mother Russia has a lot of territory to defend from hungry neighbors (cough,cough China) and cannot afford to go “whole hog” into Ukraine.
Beyond that, is anyone’s guess.
