Well, here we are, almost winter and Ukraine can't get its power back on. No amount of meat for the grinder can stop them from losing Bakhmut. About to collapse on several fronts and US military hinting that they can't win and better "negotiate" i.e. surrender.
And the Nazi posters on this thread will get soooo angry, soooo righteous about denying these facts. They'll insist another 100k Ukrainians get killed to validate their feelings. It's all entertainment for them. Very shameful.

It’s taken Russia like 3 months and thousands of troops to almost capture Bakmut, a strategically insignificant settlement.

ISW assessment: Russian efforts around Bakhmut indicate that Russian forces have fundamentally failed to learn from previous high-casualty campaigns concentrated on objectives of limited operational or strategic significance.

In the meantime, Russia has lost Kherson, the Kerch bridge was damaged, the highway connecting Svatove and Kreminna is being attacked, and you’re still a clueless idiot.

How many Russians do you think Putin should kill before realizing he’s not going to win?

re: GoodGollyMissLolly

It is interesting to me how easily the right wing in the US became Pro Russia during Trump's Presidency. All of our right wingers are full on cheerleaders for Russia's invasion of their neighbors and their genocidal goals for Ukraine. It all happened so quickly during the 4 years of Trump's presidency. Is it Fox news and Tucker? Is it social media bots? Is it simply the fact that Trump was a useful idiot to Russia (and other authoritarian dictators) and they love Trump and therefore love Russia? Did they buy into the Rudy Giuliani Russian propaganda against Ukraine? It is public knowledge that Russian money finds it's way into GOP donor money so that explains politicians positions, but that does not explain the rank and file right wingers on this web site.

I suspect it will never be fully understood how quickly and easily an entire political party mindset can be changed so easily.

You are evidence that my hypothesis is correct.
Name a few of those lies.

Two months of Clayton Morris's twitter feed:

June 24th:

"The TRUTH is coming out of these Russian sanctions, and it's a disaster" -- LIE

Sanctions are working and hitting Russian tech sector HARD. Russia is almost completely unable to replace the tanks, aircraft, and missiles that they are expending in Ukraine.

June 27th:

"They can't hide the TRUTH on natural immunity anymore." -- LIE

Natural immunity works so well that many people have gotten COVID multiple times.

July 13th:

"It's all COLLAPSING in Ukraine and they want you to pay for it" -- LIE

Well, it's true that it's not going so well for Russia. 100,000 dead Russians CAN be wrong!

July 18th:

"What Russia just did is a DEATH blow to Europe" -- LIE

Europe, last I checked, is still alive.

July 19th:

"This will lead to WW3 according to Russia" -- LIE

It didn't.

July 20th:

"BREAKING! Something BIG is coming in Russia" -- LIE

Nothing BIG came to Russia.

July 21st:

"Ukraine just did the UNTHINKABLE against Russia" -- LIE

If it was UNTHINKABLE, Ukraine wouldn't have thought to do it.

July 25th:

"Zero mention of this in the western media. What is the U.S. going to do about it? #Dedollarization" "Putin and China just did the unthinkable and the West is in big trouble" "Russia joined forces with China to create a new reserve currency. This new currency will be based on rare earth minerals like gold, silver, uranium and more." -- LIE, LIE, and LIE

I tried to buy some ClayonPutinXiCoin, but couldn't. Maybe it's because Clayton Morris is a f*cking liar.

August 1st:

"This War Game with China is about to start WW3" -- LIE

It didn't.

August 4th:

"Putin and China just changed EVERYTHING with this move" -- LIE

No, they didn't. Nothing changed.

August 15th:

"War between U.S. and China "weeks away" as WEF globalists in panic" -- LIE

It's been weeks. There's been no war better the U.S. and China. Just between Clayton Morris and the truth.

August 24th:

"We are live right now looking at the 6th month mark in the war in Ukraine as Russia launches a massive offensive" -- LIE

A massive offensive that saw Russia routed in Kharkiv and retreat from Kherson while losing ten thousand square kilometers of territory that they had controlled since March.

Do you think it was a bad strategy to assume that Russia was going to do the right thing when the US has done the wrong thing time after time?

Zelenski was apparently listening to Joe 'the ruble is rubble' Biden and thought Russia had run out of washing machines to make missiles out of.

Now Zelenski is promoting his trillion dollar wish list for rebuilding. Maybe someone should let him know the US spent 2 trillion dollars in Afganistan and still left it a hell hole.

There is the matter of degree. To the specific example of Serbia, while there is a case for NATO war crimes, there is also a very plausible case for net civilian lives being spared by the NATO actions.

A critical difference is that Ukraine is getting the crap beat out of them because they wanted to play nice with the western world and Afghanistan for the opposite reason. For purely pragmatic reasons the west would like to encourage the former over the latter.

No, not next question. The way world deals with Russia, it should also deal with all the other uncomfortable things the West has done in the past. Just like holocaust was recognized and restituted, it is also time to do the same thing for Serbia, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and many other destroyed countries.

Otherwise this attitude and sanctions towards Russia are just a hypocritic nonsense. Same rules for every country.

Oh yeah, it's all about saving lives. Just like in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Whenever the West bombs some country, it's about "democracy" and "saving lives". But when some non-West country does it, it's evil terrorism.

Murder is murder. Let's not pretent we are any better than the rest.

p.s. Did you ever figure out how many Ukrainian civilians pro-separatist forces killed in Donbas over the last 8 years? How many were killed by Russian weapons? Don’t forget the 298 killed on MH17.

Pro-separatist forces are mostly Ukrainian citizens, buddy, which makes it a civil war. The West gladly ignores this fact. I'm also pretty sure, that more civilians were killed by American weapons in Ukraine than on MH17.

While I don't endorse Putins actions in Ukraine, I don't see him doing anything, the West hasn't done in the past scot-free.

I wish Western leaders would take of their pretend-halo and just say loud and clear: "we don't like what Russia is doing, because they're not us. Only we are allowed to do such things" :)

Nope, you're wrong. The West has no moral ground to condemn Russia. Don't be a prostitute preaching about virginity. Also, there is not evil and no good - it's just a concept and whoever is in power decides what's what. USA bombs Iraq and kills 200.000 civilians = good, Russia attacks Ukraine and kills 100.000 soldiers = evil?

actually a prostitute would have a lot of value to offer in terms of wisdom about sexuality.

as would the US after its mistakes.

you are not really getting the big issues here. The big issue is to bring more good into the world and push out evil. Focus on that for a while.

Exactly. From a purely "America First" standpoint, the more aid we give to Ukraine, the better.

Who are our biggest rivals and enemies? Russia, Iran, and North Korea. Helping Ukraine kills 3 birds with one stone. Degrade Russia's military, deplete Iran's drones, and deplete North Korea's artillery that they're sending to Russia.

And as a bonus, the less wrecked Ukraine is, the fewer Ukrainian refugees we have to deal with.

Freeze and starve Ukrainians, Germans, and others.

Bankrupt the USA.

Ensure the mass murder continues.

Risk nuclear war.

You're never going to convince a nihilist that any of these details matter. Everything Russia does is fine because the west is bad. Anything is justifiable because the US has done bad things in the past.
