This is just more strawman nonsense that the national media was announcing Ukrainian victory (which is defined dozens of ways, depending on who is talking). You've had a few media talking heads and 1-2 posters in this thread declaring Ukrainian all-out victory is assured, and that's it. The national media has pretty much accurately reported the progress of both Ukraine and Russia in this 16 month ongoing war -- which was once predicted by YOU guys AND most of the media to be a cakewalk for Russia. Look back at your own predictions from early in the war, and contrast them with how happy you now get when Russia temporarily seizes a small town in Donetsk. You're descended a LONG way.
What has surprised EVERYONE has been the ineptness of the Russia military and the bravery and resilience of Ukraine -- Ukrainians are willing to die by the thousands rather than be occupied by Russian invaders. That matters. A lot.
And try to remember, if you are capable, that Russia is an enemy of YOUR country. Russia has been an enemy of America (and its allies), with maybe some small respites (that Russia blew), for 75+ years. The government-controlled Russian media and many high ranking Russian government officials routinely advocate dropping nuclear bombs on YOUR head. Keep that in mind next time you feel like cheerleading some Russian battle victory. Russians HATE you, dude. And yet some whacked out, confused political beliefs you think you hold have turned you minority types into 1930s style appeasers, and even have you clapping your hands for Russia's invasion. WTF is wrong with you? Just naive and deluded people. Weird.

I did debate reading War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy, I confess simply too many pages, yep.....intimidated. Maybe someday.
Remember sitting right behind the USSR track team at the San Diego Indoor Classic, Borzov looks bigger on TV, Bob Dudley a marine out at Pendleton also took Borzov in the 60, talking inchs here, Bob Dudley? USSR team smiles all around.
All Russia ever meant to me. But,.....Ukraine nothing at all. I know Borzov out of Ukraine.
Anyway...
Putin must have asked some of his geneals about can they take down Ukraine, apparently it was.....take a few weeks, maybe a month. Talk about a huge pile of BS there it was
Ukraine has this really no question or debate about it. Russia simply can't fight.
As the New York Times stated, Ukraine enables Nazis on their government payroll with Nazi uniforms and that starts with their government.
I have been a lifelong reader of the New York Times. They are a trusted leader of journalistic integrity. They wrote no such article about Russia having a Nazi military/government. They wrote this only about Ukraine's government.
New York Times Admits Nazi Symbology at Heart of Ukraine Army
Ukrainian soldiers are displaying Nazi iconography on their uniforms, the New York Times has finally accepted, even admitting that “diplomats, Western journalists and advocacy groups” avoid making mention of it, therefore allowing it to spread.
"The fact that there are some Nazi units in the Ukrainian army doesn't mean all Ukraine is Nazi." Well that's right,but it goes far deeper than that. Show me a single fire fighter from any country in the world that's allowed to wear Nazi symbols like the black sun on his uniform. pic.twitter.com/pHbNRPZOCq
A civilian practicing his own disgusting ideology? But ignore the monuments of nazis in Ukraine, a far right ultranationalist regiment integrated in their national guard, their “national hero” a genocidal man, and SOLDIERS displaying blatant Nazi symbolism… pic.twitter.com/bZkr711TQM
In its early phases, Ukraine’s counteroffensive is having less success and Russian forces are showing more competence than western assessments expected, two western officials and a senior US military official tell CNN.
Judging by recent headlines in Western media and quotes from retired U.S. generals, the American public would be forgiven for believing Ukraine’s long-anticipated counteroffensive is going well. The cold military reality, how...
The Ukrainian counteroffensive, in its early stages, is yielding results below initial expectations, with Russian forces demonstrating greater competence than initially assessed, Western officials say.
As Precious Roy pointed out earlier today regarding that Rand Report:
"And Russian propagandists were squawking about this report back when the war first broke out so much that the editors of the report had to put a preamble to try to debunk claims that the report was evidence that the US had pre-planned the conflict.
But what is really irritating about the Dore video (other than Dore being irritating per se) is that Dore is so starved to keep alive his anti-Ukraine following that he is having to retread old arguments and issues to keep content moving on his youtube channel."
Unfortunately for Ukraine, Putin made sure he had support from Xi and other BRICS+SA countries before he was forced to move. That’s why the rest of the world isn’t helping perpetuate this sham.
Bad day in your fictitious little BRICS world.
What's that the Prime Minister of India said today? Did he really say the US and India is a "defining partnership of this century" and one of India's "most important defense partners"? Does India need defense from China and Russia? They sure are purchasing a lot of US arms. Did you see the bipartisan Congressional agreement to make India a favored nation on par with NATO, Australia, Japan, etc.?
That crazy Modi. I think he forgot BRICS even exists. "Today, we stand at a new dawn in our relationship that will not only shape the destiny of our two nations, but also that of the world." Goddam! Just a BAD day for BRICS fans.
Despite criticisms of Modi's leadership, U.S. political leaders in both parties view India as a vital ally in containing the rise of China and a partner on defense, technology and energy.

No, this was real world. Happened today. Big events in DC - US state visit from the Prime Minister of India. Big defense agreements, big trade agreements, big partnership. We probably inked bigger deals with India today than Russia's entire dwindling GDP. This was a VERY bad day for your fake little BRICS world.
I don't think India likes or trusts you clowns. They have no respect for you. Bunch of busted tanks, chickenshift soldiers, Nazis running around calling the shots, and you can't even occupy a neighbor a quarter of your size, despite trying for over a year and a half. You guys are embarrassments. That's why India said in the real world TODAY that the US and India is a "defining partnership of this century."
