I've been shocked at how poorly they have performed since the first week of fighting.

I'm not. The only time that Russia has done particularly good was in late WW2, and with massive amounts of aid from the USA. The Russo -Japan war if 1905, the Soviet invasion of Finland in 1939, and the Polish - Soviet war of 1919 -1921 are what I consider to be typical performance of the Russian army.

Even Ruscist TV propagandists are starting to run low on copium:

Human survival in the Kharkov region will soon become impossible.

Also, 0 natural gas transit through Ukraine starting from September 11 2022 until after the conquest of EU.

Around 20:00, the RF Armed Forces launched rocket attacks on the largest thermal power plants in eastern and central Ukraine

the footage shows the defeat of the thermal power plant in Zmiev.

The collapse of the energy system spread to the networks of Kharkiv, Sumy, Dnepropetrovsk, Zaporozhye and Odessa regions.

Ah, the SOP of a terrorist state: can't do anything to the opposing military - hit civilians.

The designation is long overdue. Why the fuck Blinken is continuing to waffle on this?

This is also typical Russian behavior. They can't conquer the place, so destroy it. We need to give Ukraine long range cruise missiles so that they can destroy the factory that makes Russian cruise missiles. Or destroy power plants around Moscow and St Petersburg.,

Belgorod, Ukraine, without power:

Or is it Russia?

Actually, Belgorod should be Ukraine. At least it was in 1918

THERE IS NO PANIC! IT IS AN ORDERLY WITHDRAWAL, OR, IN OTHER WORDS, NEGATIVE OR INVERSE ATTACK!

Note that attackers don't use full auto which I find interesting.

Perhaps a more precise expression would be "Putin, who started the Ukraine war, is to Rayethon....etc"

Not really. It's dropped out of the mainstream narrative, it's being ignored now, so this is acceptance that Russia will win this conflict.

Did you know the US is still bombing Syria? Or there is an ongoing conflict of Iraq? It's not reported because it's expected it will be a loss.

In 1 year from now, nobody will remember (or admit) there was "Slava Ukraini". Our media (our propaganda) goes silent and lets the lemmings forget when the US federal goons fuck up. This is another fuck up.

But time will tell. Russia hasn't committed serious resources to this conflict, or so I am told. I am comfortable realizing both "sides" are lying to me. The current claim is that in the Ukraine/Russian conflict, there are 3 Ukrainians against 2 Russians, and there are so many Russians in the military, they are constantly rotating them.

We'll see how this ends in time, but I don't see Ukraine winning, but we'll see.

richwicks says

Russia will win this conflict.

Timeline and criteria of victory, plz. I love predictions.

Who is Konashenkov? Show me something this person said 10 years ago, or longer ago.

Why do you believe this person is real? Remember Ahmed Chalabi? That was the vector for supporting the Iraq war. Why do you believe that Konashenkov isn't another Ahmed Chalabi?

What I'm really asking is, why can't you learn from history, why do you keep making the same mistake? You are smarter than this, and the only way you couldn't be smarter than this, is if you're an active propagandist. I don't think you're stupid, but I suspect you have no ethics at all.

richwicks says

Spokeperson of RF AF, of course. The guy who said that Ruscist forces are conducting "orderly withdrawal". The exact stuff you reacted to so angrily. =)) As for the 10 years ago I'm confident in your google-fu skills - you'll find it.

How do you know which media I follow? And while we are at it, why would I read second-hand accounts and 'tarded analysis which appear in Western media (for example, it was Western media at the start of Russian invasion that parroted idea that Ukrainians will fold in weeks)?

I read news in Russian and Ukrainian mostly, and TRY to read in Polish although that language is too different from Russian so I have trouble understanding it.

You didn't answer my question.

I pointed out that he is likely another Ahmed Chalabi, another traitor to his nation.

Demonstrate he isn't.

Stop using words like "ruscist" as well, stop trying to manipulate people's emotions. Appeal to their thinking.

Explain to me who Konashenkov is? I strongly suspect his like Chalabi, a sell out traitor to his nation.

Bd6r says

(for example, it was Western media at the start of Russian invasion that parroted idea that Ukrainians will fold in weeks)?

Show an example of this. Let's see it. Demonstrate that the US propaganda claimed that the Ukrainians would fold in weeks. Show me anything.

richwicks says

He just did, and you are not making any sense again. Konashenkov is the OFFICIAL SPOKESMAN of Russian Ministry of Defense. If he is a sell-out, so is Putin.

How is this going to help? Existential threat to Russia (and in extension, Putin) mean the nukes come out. Nobody wins. We need negotiations to end this sooner, rather than later...

KGB does not negotiate in good faith.

It is too bad that most of this info is not in English.

Russians signed peace treaty with Chechnya in 1998 and attacked it 2 years later. As soon as they had enough forces, they invaded.

It is pointless to negotiate with Russia. They will freeze the situation on ground, collect more troops, and then attack again. What's in it for Ukrainians? They already had Budapest memorandum, which turned out to be a piece of paper, not worth value of paper it was written on (C) Bismarck.

Russians strike Zaporozhie with the dreaded "Vagina Bomb". And you thought your mother in law was bad:

1984 was not just a prediction of the future, it was a warning, and you see it laid out now. If you do not resist it, you, and your children and grandchildren deserve what they get.

Fully agreed. Don't let people gaslight you into thinking Russia is not capable of negotiations and keeping peace. Remember Saddam wasn't capable either, neither was qaddafi, Arafat, Assad. Perpetual war, cui bono? They're all assholes except for us!

The US overthrew Ukraine in 2014, this the most obvious naked coup d'état in history. It is ludicrous anybody denies it.

We don't just have evidence, we have proof. Proof, you still deny it. How silly.

I am so tired of people like you denying known FACTS. Stop being George Winston. Doing the job of minitrue is a CHOICE, why do you make this choice? Don't you realize what road this leads us all to? Not just you, but your children and grandchildren? You are a slave now, but your are selling the next generation into much worse slavery. That includes your children. What is wrong with you?

The very purpose of the Internet is to expose that our "rulers" are frauds and to demonstrate they should not be believed. We can bypass them entirely, but you still play along - if you and enough people persist in this, the next generation will be slaves. Realize what they are.

I've demonstrated to you that the US overthrew Ukraine, installed a puppet, and if you have any honesty and integrity you will realize that once a puppet is installed in a foreign nation, it's only puppets after that. This horrible terrible war could have been avoided, but our criminal government LOVES to make war. It's a horrible thing we allow our government to do. Stand up.

I want this war to end, and I know the source, the source of the war is the United States. Ukrainians and Russians are just victims.
