Jake is described as a Junior Defense Reporter, which means at 25 years old he accepts press releases from the State Dept and signs his name.

Neocon isn’t name calling, rather it’s the proper description for internationalists who embrace war. Stop crying.

They haven’t got Bakhmut at all. It remains to be seen if they do finally take Soledar.

The Russians seized Soledar on 9 January. And the Zelensky line is crumbling. Bakhmut is next to fall and I've prepared your talking points for that.

Zelensky probably made the mistake of committing too many troops and equipment to defense in Donetsk. Ukraine was never going to hold on to the Russian-speaking oblasts of the country. They can't handle the Russian army, Wagner group, and Donbass militias all at once. Zelensky would have been better off using those resources in other parts of Ukraine.

And how would you know that? Have you been to Donbas?

Most of the world doesn’t deserve to starve.

You do.

Be sure and spout “conspiracist” smears when it happens.

You are hurting Timber Rattler’s feelings. The Forever War is very important to him.

He’s been very despondent since Soledar collapsed. When reality hits the weight of all that propaganda he posts, depression follows.

Uh, no I haven't. And Soledar hasn't collapsed, and even if it did, it's a 3-square mile town that sits on an empty salt mine. If anything, I tickled that Prigozhin has wasted so much manpower in trying to take it, just for his photo op.

Is tiny Soledar suddenly the new capital of Ukraine?

Putlerists have no self awareness. They are sad clowns, but don’t realize it.
