The main reason for the absence of medical evacuation is simple and gruesome: The fighting is just too intense.
It can take a day or even two for soldiers to get in and out of the fiercest fighting spots – killing any hopes of medics coming to save the wounded.
Left alone at the positions, the soldiers often have to pull out their comrades on their own under heavy shelling, sometimes walking five to seven kilometers to the nearest evacuation points, where vehicles take them to makeshift hospitals.
When soldiers carry their wounded out, the group is easy to spot – and it immediately becomes easy prey to Russian first-person view (FPV) drones and artillery.
It’s not looking good for Ukraine. :(
Russian propaganda and kompromat is working as intended. Putin has proven that the cohesion of western democratic states can be broken with almost no effort, as a result we will see a completely unprecedented rise in territory grabbing and fascist dictatorships over the next 20 years.
I mean, cutting checks to all the republicans might make him break a sweat. He’s got a big payroll.
You may find them surprisingly affordable, sir.
It’s why the US needs to resolve its congress rep situation. If they fixed it, you would need to buy off like 2.2x more reps lol
This isn’t propaganda. It’s reality.
Ukraine cannot win without foreign troops on the ground. They never had the capability.
I think this point was not to claim this article is propaganda, but rather that Russia and other dictatorships can continue to invade other countries with minor consequences because they can spin whatever narrative they need and sow division in the worlds political powers by spreading lies and mistruths on fringe news channels and social media.
Where have I seen this before…
This article is not propaganda, yes. I am saying the previous two years of subversive efforts by Putin have successfully seized up the political war support machine that would have otherwise made Russia’s offensive a lost cause.
You do realize the Democrats are still in power right? You cannot blame it on Republicans yet.
You do realise that it’s a republican house, right? And that they’re the ones holding up aid, right?
That means there’s nothing the democrats can do :(
No they are not. Biden is holding up aid.
Or can he only bypass congress and do secret arms deals for israel?
Hold on, for the record Republicans most certainly are holding up aid to Ukraine.
Your first link errors out
Re: the second link, do you know if we’re selling arms to Ukraine, or giving it to them?
Fixed the first link.
Irrelevant. Biden is abusing his presidential powers to enable literal Genocide. He could easily abuse his powers in the same way to get weapons to Ukraine
If you say “Biden doesn’t want to break the rules like Trump” that’s one thing, but that excuse doesn’t hold up because he already does it for israel.
So let me get this straight, instead of blaming people who are actively acting against something, you are focusing instead on someone who isn’t abusing a loophole?
That doesn’t set the stage up for a very reasonable conversation, and suggests that you’re wanting to discuss Israel/Gaza moreso than Ukraine, so I don’t see a need to engage in conversation.
So let me get this straight, instead of blaming the person in power you blame random peons and deflect from it even though you have just been presented with evidence that this person can clearly do so
Honestly it isn’t looking good for any of us.
We’ll probably be fine.
Don’t believe those who say Ukraine falling is the end of the world just like you shouldn’t believe them when they said Ukraine could win.
This is a lesson in propaganda and indoctrination for us all. Only fools think these are tools exclusive to their enemies.
Ukraine falling means the war moves on to other countries. Russia can’t afford to not have a foreign enemy at this point. If it runs out of enemies, it implodes. By sacrificing ukraine, we get nothing in return.
