Neutral here. I’ve always found it odd how the same conservatives who saw the lies MSM spread about Trump take everything from the same fake news sources about this war as gospel.
For example some who are parroting these ridiculous claims:
“ 54 of 69 missiles fired today were shot down by Ukrainian forces” = 79%
“of the 120 missiles fired at Ukraine, 137 were intercepted and shot down”=88%
The worlds most effective anti missile system is our own Patriot Missile system. In perfect conditions with trained personnel it brings down about 55%. These conditions don’t even exist in Ukraine.
From PBS: “ The Army initially said the Patriot achieved an 80 percent success rate in Saudi Arabia and 50 percent in Israel. Those claims later were scaled back to 70 percent and 40 percent.”
I’m going to start wearing hip waders when I read threads on the Ukraine war because the bull crap around here is knee deep some days.

Hip waders? Hell, I’m wearing chest waders and those are close to being overwhelmed. The bull crap comes from both “sides” but from the Ukrainian side it’s reaching tsunami levels… probably because of the MANY TENS OF BILLIONS OF DOLLARS INVOLVED.
I’m basically neutral in this matter, I could care less about both countries, neither matters to me.
I totally agree with you about people who have witnessed the MSM completely lie about Trump Russia Collusion, Covid, Election Integrity, the Border, on and on, etc., in fact the MSM spreads more lies than truths to the public IMO.
Yet, when it comes to Ukraine, quite a few people here on FR have totally bought into what the MSM is saying about Ukraine.
I’ve been in quite a few debates with some these people, and they will tell you, this time they have found real journalism about Ukraine, sources that are not the MSM but real fact tellers.
One day this war will be over and then we’ll hopefully find out what was true and what has been propaganda.
“of the 120 missiles fired at Ukraine, 137 were intercepted and shot down”=88%
Actually, that’s 114% which is even more ridiculous - apparently, more than all of them were intercepted.
