As usual SECOND you got your head stuck up some know-nothing's ass. It's been widely acknowledged for months now that Russia is fighting war of attrition. That means destroying the opposing military while taking far lower losses, not taking territory. I've heard (not sure how reliably) that there have been internal discussions in the Russian MoD on whether to completely close the pincer around Bakhmut, but since Kiev insists on pouring more men and machines along the "Road of death", in those terms Bakhmut is "the gift that keeps on giving".

Your sources are as biased and unreliable as SECOND'S.
I would have thought that BY NOW you would have learned to take note of their biases and reliability (or lack of).

If all of your "info" turns out not to be true, will you learn to treat your sources with at least the same amount of suspicion that you treat ZH?

Signym, you know, this paragraph and another that you wrote today, don't actually describe the same war. Either Russia is annihilating the Ukrainian military or Russia is annihilating the US Army and NATO, and the US is keeping the deaths a total secret.

Version 1)

Elsewhere and today, Signym wrote:

Version 2)
Quote:

a) The USA and its NATO "allies" are getting their ass handed to them in Ukraine, and since the USA came to dominate the world by giving the impression of military invincibility, once the spell is broken resentment and blowback emerge. . .

IMHO anyway.

Actually, there is a third version of the War in Ukraine that is different from Signym's two versions given above:

Version 3)

Russia is losing.

Belief in Russian superiority follows from believing in Trump.

It has nothing to do with superiority.

Simple facts.

Enough democratic countries recognize the danger that Putin and his supporters pose to the world and Putin will lose. Enough Americans recognize the danger Trump and his Trumptards pose to the US and Trump will lose.

Uh huh.

Meanwhile... Have you bothered looking around you and seeing what's happened to our country in the last 2 years?


Name one good thing that doesn't include the word Trump in it.
