just read something interesting - the 'face-saving' move russia came up with. this is important.
RU is now saying that the plan all along was to secure Donbas - that was the plan.
Honestly, that story is more embarrassing. They could have taken Donbas without much more fanfare than when they took Crimea. Instead, they ruined their economy and military reputation, while strengthening NATO and the Ukrainian military and government.
the truth doesn't matter here - we're trying to find Vlad an offramp so he doesn't nuke someone to bring NATO into the war directly. If this works, fine.

Russia could only have taken the part of Donbas that did not include Mariupol; the major seaport and industrial area of Donbas. That is what Russia wanted, and Ukraine is never going to let them take it.
Is it state media or is it openly leftist? It can't be both. Also, how does News Corp fit into this equation? They are one of the largest news sources in America. How does Sinclair fit in? All of the hedge funds and corporations that own the majority of local papers?
CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS, Facebook, Twitter, Google/Youtube, are all openly pro-Democrat. If a Democrat is in office they will promote them.
Wait, I thought Liz Warren wants to break up FB because they are too powerful. Isn't that the Repubs line too? Now I'm confused.

The problem is now it's going to be very hard to get sanctions relief while keeping Donbas. Removing the sanctions is a tough political move for western governments, especially in the US. And Putin can't settle without a guarantee of relief.
Bragging on the fourth day that it would be "over in a matter of hours." Man, that has got to go down as one of the funniest famous last words ever.
Knowing these Russian clowns, it could have been a "Hold my vodka, Boris. Watch this!" type situation. You know what I'm saying, AdultRom?
FIVE DAYS, TOPS - he said 😂😂😂
The "genius" Putin has been shown to have made a historical blunder! Biden orchestrated the financial and political ruin of Russia. Zelensky orchestrated the military defeat and international isolation of Russia.
Evil is stymied and losing. Putin lovers here are devastated. Their quiet is deafening.
Time for them to change the goal post and to pretend they never boasted of quick Russian victory and the need for Ukraine to surrender.
The Russian people need to step up and stop Putin from performing more and greater evil on his way down.
You obviously have no primary sources at all. Who is telling you this stuff?
Russia is systematically dismantling the Ukrainian military's eastern forces, is what it keeps saying. Most of the remainder are surrounded within cities, unable to engage because the moment they show themselves they are pinpointed by drones and blasted with artillery.
Too bad that other thread is gone, because you posted some classically idiotic predictions about what Putin's goals were, where he would stop the invasion, his motivations, how positive the war was going for Russia (back in February), the skill of Russian soldiers, etc.
Now you have a clean slate, so to speak. I'd say someone up there at LRC HQ did you and the rest of the America-haters a favor.

Putin has crossed the Rubicon and there is NO way for him to extricate himself and save face. That ship has sailed.
The question is how do the Russian people extricate themselves from this political and financial fiasco. They need to take Putin out. It is the only way for them to save their country.
You don't recognize that our MSM is state propaganda?
How is that possible in 2022?
Does it not strike you as odd that all the media outlets cover this story with the exact same spin?
Other than some Fox news reporters on Ukraine/Russia, can you name one time that any media outlet has ever come out against any war we were being sold?
Sure, if we decide that words no longer have meanings, what you write is exactly correct.
MSM propaganda gives you a meaning? Interesting. Explains a lot.
Carmine, I guarantee you that Yakov Rezantsey is no longer of this earth. He died a coward's death. He is gone, never to be heard from again. No one will mourn him except you and your fellow America-hating weirdos.
So you guarantee me he died a coward's death based on an MSM report that he "apparently" died?

It's a guarantee, Carmine. It doesn't matter what my support or sources are. All that matters to you going forward is that I GUARANTEE that Russian Yakov Rezantsey will never been seen or heard from again. He got iced by the Ukrainians. Totally biffed. Canceled. Whoever his scumbag Russian god is, that god couldn't handle the situation. He is gone. Zapped. Eradicated. Eradicated like a sickness.
I know it hurts, carmine. But you need to buck up. Be strong for the other scumbags here who are also in mourning. Get it together, you weak sister.
My guess is Russia's influence over Trump via Manafort is greater than their estimate, but it's really had to know.
Nobody can accuse Trump of being intelligent, so one can almost feel sorry for a poor insecure sob being led by the nose by a Russian spy, except, that it's more difficult to have sympathy once the bodies of women and children start piling up.

That article is pure propaganda. There isn't a shred of actual journalism anywhere in it.
Trump's not a genius but he's certainly brighter than any of you people running around with Trump Derangement Syndrome.

so Adult. You cool with Trump trusting Putin more than US intelligence services? Telling the world that after Trump left office, and pretty much cheering for Putin against Biden? That's your idea of 'brighter' than Dems?
You think maybe the same russian intelligence people the trump campaign worked with were pretty stoked by a former US president cheering for Putin, praising Russian intelligence and dissing US intelligence?
Maybe you think this kind of thing is why putin invaded? - he thought the west leaned trump because of statements like Trump's? Thank god the country actually leans Biden.
One more mistake by the same Russian intelligence people trump chose to trust over Americans.
Again, you find yourself ideologically with the Chinese and Russians, in sympathy with their view of the world. Cheers.

No one trusts Putin. The non-morons are aware that the US intelligence services have been hijacked by people who put party over country. Clapper, Comey, Brennan. Men like this are pure garbage and no better than Putin. Trump called them out by name and they ALL proved to be traitors to their own country by promoting an obviously fake Russian dossier on Trump to undermine a politician in a party they don't like. When it was proven that they lied they doubled down.
The 51 former “intelligence” officials who cast doubt on The Post’s Hunter Biden laptop stories in a public letter really were just desperate to get Joe Biden elected president.
The "Trump campaign" didn't "work with" any Russian intelligence people. Manafort had his own side gig and got thrown off the campaign the moment Trump found out about it.
Worth noting that Manafort was working to broker a peace between Ukraine and the pro-Russian separatists Ukraine had been at war with for 2 years and has been at war with since.
Being adult enough to comprehend that other countries view the world through a different lens doesn't mean I view the world the same way.
Trump's platform was "America First" if you don't recall. Democrats hated it and then spent 5 years promoting Russian propaganda to attack him... lol
