It’s possible to love the republic and hate the empire.

Their strategy was to use Bakhmut to grind down the Uke army, which they did. The Russian army is killing Ukes at a ratio of 10:1. Some say it’s higher and others say it’s a little lower than that.

Bakhmut is a key logistical hub for that region. I was just looking at the region and noticed that there are six airports to the west, northwest, and southwest of the city. Not sure how many of them could be used for Russia fighter, bomber, and cargo airplanes.

Once the mud dries out I’m sure the Ruskies will start capturing towns like Kramatorsk and Sloviansk.

And the most dangerous thing here is a decaying nuclear power ruled by historical and geographical illiterates is threatening a bigger and more cohesive nuclear power while at the same time removing any vestige of informed consent to launch WW3. Virtually all Russian media is banned in the west without a VPN and big tech is front and centre manufacturing consent for this hopeless slaughter. At least after Vietnam it took many years to get US boots on the ground in some hapless foreign land-look how long it took to go from the Afghan debacle to betting the farm on this Banderite filth in Ukraine. That’s the power of propaganda.

“You mean Russian government propaganda outlets, which you call “unbiased”.”

Yep, the Russian government outlets that report on Ukraine developments roughly 10 days before the Western media bothers to report the same.

In case you didn't know President Zelensky was elected by the people of Ukraine in 2019.

In a party that conspired with the globalists and Nuland of the U.S. State Department to throw out their competitors in 2014.

You’ll be a great help to the Mexicans when they take over.

Your the one supporting the expenditure of billions of US tax dollars on a fruitless effort to enforce some arbitrary border created by the Soviets thousands of miles away.

Tend to your own garden you dope!

Do you ever post anything but obvious Russian propaganda?
——-
If you would read the articles, you will see I prefer “ video”. Many anrticles are linked for supporting “ evidence”.

Words as we see are “ cheap”…..video, maps from Russian and Ukie MOD ( they generally agree) are much harder to discount and give no opinions.

When I worked for DOS ( when they were more honest), written words were always confirmed by video, pictures, and visual evidence.

I suspect you discount as Russian propaganda just about everything you don’t want to believe….there will come a time when you realize how much the western media and Biden’s administration deceived you ( again) currently through “ omission “.

Your hangover will be huge.
