Now that is some serious Russian propaganda. The claims he makes seem to be at odds with how events have unfolded. He claims that the Ukrainians are the ones running out of ammo and generally depleted, but how does this align with the Russians constantly losing ground in E and S Ukraine? Now the Russians have them exactly where they want them?

He claims it's not a counter offense because it does not have the size and scale of a counter offensive in WWII? By that standard we haven't fought any wars since WWII.
USA honestly have not fought any peer to peer wars since WW2 or Korea. It has been proxy wars and 1st world USA tech against goat herders.
Afghanistan is a perfect example. 20 years fighting to replace the Taliban, then cut and run and leave the Talban in charge with 500B worth of modern equipment.

Come now do you really think fighting Russia in a European Ground War or China would be the same as fighting Goat Herders...

Long personal back and fourths between 2 posters like we saw a few days ago shouldn’t be a thing but otherwise I agree. That was extremely annoying while trying to catch up from 20 pages back.

I think the thread is beautiful and am happy that you all like it.

I just think we should be putting more effort into winning than enjoying the format of our favorite thread. Obviously some disagree and that’s fine.

I've been working on Duolingo for quite a while. I'm getting pretty decent but am a long way from fluent. Only problem is that I'd stand out like a sore thumb in a place like that due to my complexion.

I was thinking of bailing to Costa Rica and did the Spanish lessons. But when I got thinking, when the SHTF old whitey gonna stand out like a sore thumb and be a big old target.
My SIL who works for Noble drilling offshore. Just got the scare of his life in Columbia. Got grabbed and barely escaped. Luckily he left his passport in his Hotel Room along with his other papers etc.
Noble employees have a number they call if shit like this happens. He was grabbed right off the street by 2-3 thugs and stuffed into a cab robbed and the cab started taking him out of town after he was robbed.

I come across some good links in tMB invasion thread. You do have to wade through a lot of Ukraine fan boy noise, but there are some good links by some of the better posters there. I also like to go to UK media like Daily Mail and The Telegraph. I will also look at Der Spiegel, and RT when I want to get the Russian side of things.

Basically, ignore fraudulent media like most of the American MSM. Understand that most western media in general is going to have a pro-Ukraine bias, and check some Russian media for the other side.

It's OK if you have some sympathy for Putin (I have very little), it's OK to have reservations about a guy like Zelenski, and it is 100% legit to be skeptical of something that the MSM and Leftist culture uniformly supports (Ukraine). But you would have to have an incredibly narrow and biased set of media sources for this war if you don't realize that Ukraine is currently winning this war. @FreeMiner (again, much respect for you bruh, not trying to pick on you personally) claimed that the Kerch bridge was operational the very next day. This is the kind of BS that we all need to avoid.
The UN might be “winning” but I do not think Ukraine is winning

Biden was sold as the "uniter" at the time. I am pretty sure there are a lot of rational thinking dems who believe that party has turned completely radical over the last several years and have rethought their positions/allegiance..
But she was in congress at the time. She knew what Biden did in Ukraine and that they were impeaching Trump to keep it secret. If she didn't know that Biden as president could lead to a worsening war in Ukraine then she's not as smart as I thought. We've been talking about Ukraine leading to escalation for 3 years in this thread.

Thank God he wasn't in Chicago he'd be dead.
