Twinblade★ 3,892 Posted November 18, 2022 Author Share Posted November 18, 2022 Seems that Russia is going all in on offensives lately to try and make as many gains as possible before the winter weather comes and things slow down. The soldiers they were able to free up from Kherson are likely helping with that. There's fighting in the middle of Pavlika and they've creeped up to the edge of Bakhmut. The losses they're receiving are still completely unsustainable, though. Their big play is still to try and force Ukraine to the negotiating table via attacks on Civilian infrastructure. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Their gains are minimal in the grand scheme in the east. Despite Russia repositioning, Ukraine was still able to free up a couple thousand square kilometers of land while Russia gained very little. Bakhmut is still a meat grinder situation for Russia, and most of the "advances" they've made are still not even visually confirmed. Russia is getting raped and it's going to be a lot more interesting when their troops freeze when winter really starts kicking in. Link to post Share on other sites

Russia wants time to replenish their forces and build more defenses along the frontline If stuff like this is accurate then time is not on their side 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Lol it's not just the Ukraine. It's just about every topic there is. It's their brand and the audience they covet. All this freedom bullshit is just their cover. When Owens posted that she enjoyed Dr Dre's super bowl show, she then had to spend the whole day defending to her own audience that she grew up on rap or that the NFL allowed rap during the Superbowl half time show. Right wing media isnt about informing people as much as airing their grievances in the most hostile way possible. Edited December 5, 2022 by Mr. Impossible Link to post Share on other sites

jehurey 3,227 Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 And now, after several months of the right-wing people in this thread denying that Trump would support Russia's takeover of another nation................we have Trump saying exactly that: and then Fox News edits out the part where he says he would let Russia take over in later airing of the interview. There it is, clear as day. Link to post Share on other sites

No, because Obama responded with sanctions and did not condone the invasion in Crimea, and specifically called it illegal. Trump is saying he would accept 'taking over" as a LEGALLY accepted deal by the United States. Swing and miss. Link to post Share on other sites
