    That’s weird. Their own families beg to differ. That is not an isolated article. Many, many sources have reported the same problems. Then there are all those tanks that just plain ran out of fuel and were abandoned en masse by their crews. Or the super fancy bullet proof armor that turned out to just be a thin cheap steel plate that can be easily shot through. Or the incorrectly installed reactive armor (or no reactive armor at all).

    Many western propaganda sources keep repeating this over and over. And people like you just swallow it whole because you want to believe this to be true. Yet, if you tried using your head for a second you’d realize that Russia would’ve lost the war long ago if its military was that dysfunctional. It’s been nearly a year now and the west has thrown everything they have into this war. How is it that Russia is still grinding Ukraine down.

    Trump and associated organizations have been hit with successful legal action, just not criminal charges. For the four years of his presidency, he was protected by Congressional Republicans. Meanwhile, right wing outlets both Sputnik and in the US lie to cover up that he actually is guilty of crimes. The Jan 6 committee has laid out four charges that are well backed and the Biden administration is moving forward right now via a special prosecutor.

    Wake me up once there are actual criminal charges that stick.

      Huh, now that’s news to me. Where are the strikes pummeling Russian territory? The highly advanced planes raining destruction down on Russian troops? So far, NATO has avoided doing much more than supply weapons, intelligence, economic aid, and sanctions. The West has been holding back to avoid the war escalating. I’m not so conceited as to declare this war an inevitable win by Ukraine, but they have shown themselves to be skilled combatants. You can say that Russia losing ground is Putin playing 5 dimensional chess, but the reality is Ukraine has both the motive and the means to get the invaders out.

        Pretty hilarious of you to think that NATO could strike in Russian territory given that Russia fields some of the best air defence systems in the world. If there was a direct war between Russia and NATO then it would be Russia striking within NATO territory because Russia has hypersonic weapons that currently cannot be intercepted. You should also read what western military think tanks say about the chances of these highly advanced planes getting anywhere close to Russia.

        The only thing NATO has avoided so far is putting boots on the ground, and has thrown its full economic power behind Ukraine while flooding it with western weapons.

        The West has been holding back to avoid the war escalating.

        If you genuinely believe that then I really don’t know what to tell you. This is such a phenomenally absurd statement to make.

        I’m not so conceited as to declare this war an inevitable win by Ukraine, but they have shown themselves to be skilled combatants.

        In what way exactly? Ukraine has suffered horrific losses of men and equipment and now solely relies on western handouts to drag out this conflict.

        You can say that Russia losing ground is Putin playing 5 dimensional chess, but the reality is Ukraine has both the motive and the means to get the invaders out.

        The reality is that Russia is literally gaining ground right now against a depleted and demoralized remnants of the Ukrainian army as the panic begins to set in the west.

        The fact that you don’t understand this to be the case shows just how effective western propaganda is at inventing reality. Yet, even western sources are increasingly admitting that what you’ve laid out here is pure fiction. You’ve been taken for a fool.
