    It’s almost like they’re worried if Russia doesn’t win a equine felatio video starring pedo Antoinette will be released

      It’s amazing how you people seem to have a compulsive, pavlovian reflex to post some veration of the same mantra every time you see the letters .ml. Have you considered just going back to reddit?

      Hey remember when anyone suggesting that Ukraine wasn’t about to storm Moscow in two weeks was a Russian bot? Remember when Russia was on the verge of collapse like, seven times? And Russain soldiers had never seen paved roads or washing machines, and were fighting with shovels, and the Ukranians were mowing them down in their hundreds and thousands?

      When you swallow load after load of bullshit because it reinforces a story you want to believe, you incur a debt to the truth, to reality. And now that the debt is coming due, you have no recourse but to attack the people who didn’t allow themselves to be seduced by flattering nonsense. Deep down, you know you got played.

        Remember when it was a 3 day “military operation” or whatever the fuck they were calling it?

          No, because no Russian ever said that. Seriously, go look, go try to find where it came from. You won’t be able to.

          Nope, and neither do you: the oft-repeated “3 days” line was said by a US state department ghoul who was ascribing that attitude to the Russians. You will not find a representative of the Russian Federation claiming to take Ukraine in 3 days, because that’s something that has been memed into collective memory despite not actually happening.

          It’s definitely a military operation though, you’ve got that much correct.

            That was actually none other than US most senior military officer at the time, general Mark Milley before the Russia joined the war in 2022 probably as a traditional fearmongering to get more cash for military.

              So you were lying about them saying three days? And how the fuck are they “toeing the Russian line”? What do you think those words mean.

              Like, serious question for the libs: why are you up voting this dogshit? Even if you’re from the same political tribe, it’s still fucking stupid

              Of course they wouldn’t claim to take it in 3 days

              So now you agree that what you just said was a lie? Cool, now we’re getting somewhere.

              The goal is not to take all of Ukraine, because this isn’t medieval times lol. The goals are:

              -Liberate the Donbas republics, which the Ukrainian coup regime had spent a decade ethnically cleansing

              -Prevent Ukraine from being admitted to NATO, which would put a nuclear armed US puppet government within 15 minutes strike distance to Moscow and is therefore an unacceptable security risk to the RF

              -Break the AFU’s ability to launch conventional missile strikes within Russia

              Goals one and two have been achieved, while Russia’s continued attrition of the Ukranian military is in the process of achieving the third.

              On a personal note, is simping for a nazi regime how you imagined you’d spend your life?

    He’s 100% right. US needs to start wars it can win, instead. Sorry Canada and other friends. You’re too pathethic to defend yourself, and will pretend that role/mission of US force amplification is still your purpose, because all of your politicians/establishment grew up with that purpose that was required to be electable at the time.

    It just makes everyone insisting on this perpetual war look bad.

      Very unserious report. Enough lies to discredit it all, though I’m unsure of some of the claims.

      Afghanistan had a heavily armed population in a mountainous and very cavernous terrain where air support was a liability and heavy infantry/armored divisions were absolutely useless, not to mention a very motivated guerrilla popping up from every corner.

      Ukraine is running out of their sponsor’s money and gear, and they have to kidnap young people off the streets to get enough cannon fodder. That’s not even close to a comparable situation. Try living in the real world for maybe an hour and you’ll stop being blindsided by your copium dreams.

        I have no idea how all this will end. However you might want to consider that west has put very little effort into helping Ukraine. Both Russia and the US have not lived up to their obligations. Both guaranteed the intergity of Ukraine by treaty. Russia invaded and the US and the west did not stop it though we could have at any time.

          The only way the US could have stopped it would have been not to coup Yanukovich in the first place or engage in an all-out war with Russia that would kickstart WW3 and, most likely, nuclear war.

          As Marxist-Leninists have been saying from the first month of the engagement, the point has never been for Ukraine to win with full support from the west, but to use an expendable proxy to attempt weakening a perceived threat with as little commitment as humanly possible, I can’t believe y’all keep falling for the same transparent playbook.

            Exactly. To go further this was a 100% US initiated war. A propaganda strategy meant to fake otherwise in order for Russians to think they should not defend themselves was only a strategy to maintain our sides weapons profits. The main US victory in the war was capturing Europe energy and weapon sales, and instilling a militarist attitude towards Russia. It would be an even greater US victory if Europe spends 5% of GDP on US weapons to lose a fight against Russia on its own.

            Yes, I have wondered about the partial support too.

            Might be true. However never under estimate the indecisiveness and incompetence of US leadership and take it as a plan. Russian propaganda and the MAGA crowd too have had big effects also. By in large too the west wants Russia stable. Besides Ukraine is not a core issue in the US.

            Nuclear weapons are useless. No one can use them.
