The EU etc. already said they’d support rule from a-far, so you have to assume once they show support, you can assume it is already the case, is he even in Ukraine.
That lad is fighting no war - all the Zoom calls and this lark, the theatrics, make ZERO sense, unless you realise, yes he is a actor, a front man, bought and paid for and only knows accepting his lines and taking direction.
Like any Menace Regime.
They all appear to be LARPS at this point. Especially New-Ukraine-On-Sea.
OW. Anything out of the DPR is total bullshit. Been watching hours and hours of it’s on Channel 1 RU the last few weeks. It wall to wall DPR footage. Mainly to watch as they regress more and more to Soviet style propaganda. And just as stupid. Showing the Tochka serial numbers on fragments of the missile that hit Donetz proving that it came from a RU batch not a UA batch. That sort of stuff. They were just as stupid back in the 1970’s and 1980’s.
There is some boring Soviet era movie on Channel 1 at the moment (at least it was Viking Викинг last week) but I’m sure it will be back to the usual same old video loops later on. With the same people showing up over and over again. Being discussed in the same set.
I say I say, I said this wasn’t an MSM topic! So it’s split in here now.
I find Pat Lancaster videos for the interviews he gets with people on the ground, compelling, and he’s just one guy (maybe has a small team) bouncing around the place.
BTW has Col. Alexander Vidman taken a spot a crisis actor on Channel one?
Propaganda is a very specific thing, it’s a manufactured product.
Not all sources are so, but It’s like panning for gold.
Meanwhile. These lads would have gone down a storm for Paddy’s day and would have felt right at home marching down O’Connell St amid yellow and blue shimmering splendour.
“gave my doctors the order - I’ve always been a big humanitarian, I’ve said that as soon as a person is wounded he is not an enemy, but a patient. But now, a very serious order - castrate all the men, because they’re cockroaches, not people.” If real …"
I laughed at the bit where the Belarus president Lukashenko went behind Putin’s back and sold some of their air defense systems to the US who wished to procure some for further study. Ironic that the same weapons systems are now going to be put back into use against Russia.
I have to assume that if anyone knows how to deal with a Soviet era air defense system its the Russians, and as soon as they turn on the radar section, the Russians will just destroy the Radar with a cruise missile/hypersonic missile, the weapons that have been most effective have been the stingers and anti tank rockets, but at some point the Ukrainians will run out and its difficult to resupply Kiev and Mariupol where the bulk of the Ukrainians are surrounded
A pro-Kremlin source contradicted this number in an now removed article to say that only 10,000 men have actually been killed. Either number is appalling and surely an unsustainable number of casualties for Russia to continue to endure.
Google translation from the original source.
The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation refutes the information of the Ukrainian General Staff about the alleged large-scale losses of the RF Armed Forces in Ukraine. According to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, during the special operation in Ukraine, the Russian Armed Forces lost 9861 people killed, 16153 people were injured.
