    The dissonance on display here is crazy. Russia is suffering massive casualties wantonly throwing away lives and having trouble recruiting. However bad it is for Ukraine, Russia is doing worse. Source: trust me bro. So many lines of cope needed to dilute the main story, which is that Ukraine is snatching up toothless old men, barely training them, and then throwing them into assault platoons that get devastated. And even the soldiers themselves are getting sick of the waste of life and speaking out.

    There was another article you posted a couple days ago where one officer involved in one of these so called offensives was interviewed and said that they were fighting a battle of attrition. As the assaulting force. Which just really gives away the game. The ones carelessly throwing away lives for minimal gain is Ukraine. Someday when the true casualty figures come out that even western press admit Ukraine is covering up, I have a feeling they’re going to be absolutely shocking.

      It really is weird how according to western media Russia is falling apart, but at the same time it just keeps getting an upper hand in Ukraine and apparently becoming a threat to all of Europe. None of this makes any sense. And there’s also the whole related argument how NATO has to keep supporting Ukraine because otherwise NATO will have to fight Russia directly. Given that NATO is very clearly losing in Ukraine, what hope could it possibly have of fighting Russia after Ukraine folds. This was the biggest and most experience army NATO had.

    I could only get as far as the first paragraph. Jesus Christ. I can’t imagine what would be like to read this as a well-intentioned Slava Ukraini liberal.
