The war in Ukraine is still anyone's game, but those repeating Russian talking points never change their tack.
Seems like everything is a Russian talking point unless it is total victory and unlimited military aid for Ukraine.
Pretty limiting.
Putin should have just invited Ukraine for a cup of tea. He's pretty bad at the other way
Pootin cannot afford to lose this war so he will destroy the entire world rather than accept defeat.
"Will not going to invade."
For fucks sake! Proofread your memes people!
I think it represents that crowd pretty well haha.
I will not going to proofread my mems when I mak them.
I don’t mak them.
Not made by me originally, but I agree.
My wife is a tax accountant and works on various complex multi-million dollar files, and she said it's honestly demoralizing sometimes to see how many people who can't spell simple words or distinguish the difference between their, there and they're on professional documents and correspondence, are out there making absurd amounts of money and reaping their success.
In eastern Ukraine, I foresee a long term South Ossetia/Abkhazia situation where most of the world doesn't recognise the new ""constitutional status"" but the Russians won't care because they are in de facto control of the region.
Meanwhile in the west we continue to dripfeed weapons and equipment to Ukraine which is just enough to keep them afloat but not enough to help them actually expel the Russians. We're both afraid of abandoning Ukraine to it's fate and Putin potentially using nuclear weapons if we go too far with our support. It's a shit show.
Western propaganda doesn't exist
I heard on Russian TV that it does and it's really bad.
Biden bombs three countries:
No we're not in a war right now. This is a special military operation
Military strikes on non-state actors to discourage further attacks with no significant presence on the ground? Probably not an actual war.
Full-on invasion of a sovereign state using a massive proportion of your total ground forces to penetrate their borders and massacre their citizens? Probably a war.
Yeah the biggest political faction in Yemen that controls the country totally not a state actor.
Russians will tell you they were just bombing Azov Nazi groups.
And they conveniently don't recognize Ukraine so that's not an official government either!
I guess there was no war in Afghanistan either because the Taliban is not officially recognized by us as their government.
Special miliary operations all the way down.
Idk where do you think ppl get 'russian propaganda' when RT has been censored since day one. I don't follow any social media. These are some self-made conclusions based on what's actually going on.
Oh God fucking damnit, I had a long ass response that my browser just deleted before I could post it. I'll give you the TLDR instead:
-
US intelligence was spot on about the invasion. I think they may have incorrectly specified a date once, but beyond that, they were absolutely correct that Putin was going to invade. Which of course Putin vehemently denied while building up troops.
-
Russia was expected even by the West to quickly take Kiev with superior military power. We realized that it was a façade though, and their military was poorly trained and poorly equipped. Tons of their soldiers died, to the point that Putin had to start conscription.
-
Putin was once a feared mastermind and expert tactician. His blunder in Ukraine gave credence to the reports that he was suffering a health decline. Photographs of him at an undisclosed location sitting far away from his administration officials suggested paranoia too.
-
Ukraine is a battle, Russia has already lost the war. Their military is a laughingstock, and their threats are seen as meaningless bluster. They've been cut off economically from a lot of the world, and they're seen as just as vile as Israel in terms of war crimes. Unless there's a regime change, the West will loathe them for likely a century to come. Putin's actions have also reenergized NATO, and some new countries have asked to join NATO as a direct response. They have brain drain from people fleeing conscription. They might already be in demographic collapse from how many working age people have died. There was even a coup attempt by the Wagner Group that faced no resistance in some areas as they advanced.
Ukraine can still win the war with Western assistance, and they want to keep fighting. As long as they want to fight against imperialist oppressors, I say we help them. Putin has fucked around for too long, and it's time for the Ukrainian people to take back their whole country. When you consider what was originally expected of this war to where this war is now, Ukraine is doing fucking amazing.
It's good that some ppl like u focus on facts, although there was few new for me.
Everybody agrees ukrainians have defended their homeland bravely. The problem is after supplies given we all expected a far shorter conflict and we failed ukrainians in that regard.
Conscription was something unexpected too. When you call this a Putin blunder you completely dismiss events before the invasion. Civil war was real since 2014. Russia may have lost thousands of soldiers, but it has also succesfully evacuated thousands of russian speaking ukrainian civilians from Donbass and other bloody civil war areas.
Western propaganda makes you believe the solution to the whole conflict be as simple as to take one man named Putin down. What a fairy tale idea. He is only the weapon of the big russian entities that have interests here and there. They'd just replace him with a worse one.
