Putler finally forced his paid and Kompromated puppets in the American government to pull support from Ukraine.
Now he can take what all he wants. Good job Qult45. Well done.
Edit: member when the DNC was hacked by two Russian government backed groups for years and all the dirt came pouring out everywhere right before the US elections? Member when those same groups had hacked into the RNC for many many years, yet none of the piles of dirt leaked? That’s called Kompromat. And it’s leveraged even to this very day.
Reminder that Israel spends more yearly on influencing american elections then russia has spent in total.
Whataboutisms abound
The difference is that Israel is an ally and Ruzzia is an adversary, but that should be obvious to anyone without their head up their asses.

It’s the difference between your friend making you a cup of tea, and Putin making you a cup of tea.
And while your friend is making tea, he throws a grenade into the basement.
Turns out there’s a Palestinian family living in that basement. Actually it’s their house. Your friend forced their way in, locked them in the basement, and is now throwing grenades in there now and again. He calls that “mowing the lawn”, and he does it just to show them who’s boss.
You thank him for the tea, and ask him if the 100 grenades you brought are enough. He’s your best friend.

Get better friends.
Because it’s not a conspiracy theory - there was an impeachment trial about this.
It’s literally a baseless conspiracy theory

MSNBC is a firehose. Go fuck yourself, Maddow.
No there wasn’t.

Hedges’ criticism goes much deeper than that. The rot—that Trump is a symptom of—goes back decades. Death of the Liberal Class

Western corporate media will slowly begin to trickle to their readers what International media has already been reporting for months.
I wonder why it hasn’t changed that much on the ground. Could it be that you’re talking out of your ass?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The need to cannibalize a destroyed Russian vehicle to help protect Ukraine’s dwindling supply of equipment underscores Kyiv’s current challenges on the battlefield as it prepares for another year of pitched combat.
It is that tactic that provides Russia the advantage as it pushes to secure Ukraine’s eastern Donbas region, Moscow’s primary war aim after its defeat in 2022 around Kharkiv, Kherson and the capital, Kyiv.
“The Russian advantage at this stage is not decisive, but the war is not a stalemate,” said Michael Kofman, a senior fellow in the Russia and Eurasia program at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, who recently visited Ukraine.
At the end of 2023, members of a Ukrainian artillery crew from the 10th Brigade sat inside a bunker nestled into a bare tree line in the country’s east, their Soviet-era 122-millimeter howitzer draped in camouflage netting and leafless branches.
Even the tranche of United States-supplied cluster munitions, controversial because they harm civilians long after a war’s end, has lost some of its potency on the battlefield.
It is a tactic replicated across the front by Moscow’s infantry, with little sign of stopping despite a high attrition rate common for a force attacking dug-in positions.
The original article contains 1,508 words, the summary contains 200 words. Saved 87%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
“The Russian advantage at this stage is not decisive, but the war is not a stalemate,” said Michael Kofman
Oh hello Kofman, welcome to the real world.
There is no end to what can be achieved with an infinite amount of expendable contractniki.
Oh, is that it? Or is it because the West cannot produce artillery shells quickly enough (haven’t prayed enough to supply side Jesus)? Or because Ukraine is running out of guys to kidnap? Maybe racist ideas about Russian incompetence and weakness clouded Western judgement and they underestimated the Russians?
Well, whatever it is, Kofman should have figured this out before the summer offensive. Some reality before that disaster could have saved many lives. But then again, if someone like Kofman had broken out of the collective delusion before June, they would have just kicked him out of the club. Probably smart of him to tell them what they wanted to hear.
So much projection, so many tears.
Western media is openly reporting on this, pretty clear who’s doing the actual projecting here
