I thought Ukraine already got rid of Putin and liberated Moscow to the cheers of millions of adoring Russians while the Ghost of Kyiv did celebratory flyovers.
Modern history is going to be the most insane and incomprehensible thing to study in the future. Major historical events will go one way, while every bit of mainstream news will have been saying it was going the other.
It is a sad situation that could easily have been avoided. :-(
Here is an overview that I learned from independent war journalists. Like Garland Nixon, and Scott Ritter.
The war has now just over 1 million registered military casualties on Ukraine side. (according to registered kills, so could be a lot more). And Russia about 80 thousand. (according to money given to families and such).
The difference is due to strategy differences. Ukraine soldiers were sent into the mine-fields under artillery fire. Not the best strategy. Large armies can not be formed with modern surveillance and modern rockets / drones (on both sides). But for more funding, Zelenski needed to show the west that they could conquer an area. Most of those funds get lost in the corruption. Those "conquered areas" were turned into artillery traps, following the Russian defense doctrine. The NATO training is focused on tactical operations to capture strategic targets quickly, but lack in strategic planning.
The army also changed. First there were some well trained troops. Now many on the front are involuntary. as they are picked off the street.
The core of the army does not even go into fighting, as they are just their to shoot people that try to flee the battle field. Most of them seem to be the neo-nazis following Bandera's WW2 strategy.
There are also NATO soldiers staying in the back. They operate the complex rockets and air-defense systems. As they require years of training, and access to secret codes.
Go back to my comments from right after the election, if you want to fact check my ass, but it was so obvious this was going to be the game plan again, and I commented such.
It’s going to be a massive sprint to make Americans as miserable and depressed as possible before the midterms two years from now. The war(s) will be going the worst ever. Inflation will be the worst ever. Egg prices? Worst ever. Fast food prices? Out of control. Racism? Out of control. Gas prices? Highest ever. He’s freezing Medicaid payments! (Read the actual release - he didn’t). And on, and on, and on.
They are going to hammer at all of this so hard again, with the goal being - now that their party is out of power - for everyone to have the constant cloud of negativity hanging overhead, and begging for “change”. There will be endless spin, and endless lies.
Trump and his crew are doing so well so far, but if they fail to start the ball rolling on the right finally taking the leftist propaganda/indoctrination system seriously, and to finally start dismantling it, none of it is going to really matter.
I thought Ukraine took the war to Russia and Putin was done for.
That was before Putin stole the US election for his PUPPET again and the tide turned.
8 days in and already turned the tide by doing nothing. He is moving fast :)))
That's what I was told. Russia was on the ropes, and Ukraine was still on the verge of winning after the Kursk push.
Like Japanese WW2 propaganda where the IJN kept "winning" battles that were somehow getting closer and closer to the mainland.
Or like our old friend Baghdad Bob
"The walls are closing in on putty put Putin!"
"The beginning of the end"
"Russia is panicking!"
You think you hate the MSM but you really don't hate them enough

Concern trolling.
So attempt by media to make Ukraine/Russia war Trump's Afghanistan withdraw even though there is NO comparison?
If your army doesn't have infantry, what does it have?
Diversity!

Redditors.
Drones mainly.
Artillery on the front row :)
Minor event happens yet again in endless forever war.
The war must go on until all the soldiers are dead. That was the goal, after all.
Feels like the media is just tossing a coin to see who's "winning" today.
But regardless of who's winning, the fact that X is winning only proves that 'we' must send more money and weapons to Ukraine.
