Thank you.

There is always propaganda. I have been lurking on foreign news sites to get an idea of what is going on. I don’t expect them to be honest, but to lie differently.

And they are saying that while Russia is having issue, the Ukes are in deep kaka.

These are not honest people. It makes you wonder how they managed to hide out on FR all this time.

It’s from Travis McGhee and stop taking up for the NWO. We know what you are and your days are numbered.

They never went into Kiev. But what that push from the north did was to act as one of three thrusts to keep the Uke forces off balance and unable to rush everything to the east.
Now the east is wrapping up, Mariupol and Azov are nearing a fall. The land bridge area is in the process of switching to the Ruble. So the feint from the north is withdrawing and moving to the east.
The partition will happen soon and that will be that.

Thank you for posting this. And remember those Freepers who said that the war would be over before it started because the Russkies were going to roll.

If resupply efforts are successful, it indicates that the Russian Air Force has not achieved air superiority, possibly due to effective use of surface to air missiles by the Ukrainians.

Combat eats huge amounts of ordnance. The javelins and stingers are one time weapons, and have probably nearly all been used up. Resupply is critical to continued resistance.

The White House on Tuesday authorized another $100 million in aid to Ukraine for more Javelin anti-armor weapons in its battle to repel the Russian invasion that began in late February.

There were a huge number of dummy accounts created over the years, that get activated by pro-Russian propagandists periodically to post anti-American spicy takes.

Feint???!!! As a former field grade Armor officer I know what a feint is and that was not one. That was no economy of force mission. That was a Russian humiliation.

Just watch the meltdowns on here from some alleged Freepers. When you are over the target you get flack.

I found this article to be interesting.

Milley's new Ukraine war prediction is stark departure from early forecast of '72 hour' takeover

This is supposedly from the leadership of the US Military.

Does anybody really know anything?

Putin cultists are very appreciative of Biden.

--- "Russia's failure to take down Kyiv was a defeat for the ages"

No matter what stance one may take about the Ukraine/Russia mess, the title of this "news" -- when the conflict is only one-third the length so far of the Serbia bombing by NATO (under the same Stoltenberg then as now) three decades ago -- is essentially cheerleading. Will history hold the same view? Time will tell.

If a "defeat for the ages," then one should conclude the end of this mess will follow shortly. Or....

But then --- https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4052677/posts

Milley and Austin are in full CYA mode to cover their abysmal failures.

They are. Re positioning. Clearly not done. To the arm chair generals. Have fun, the next wave is coming. Unlike the US they are going out of their way to not kill civilians. Wonder why, it takes so much longer.

They are resupplying by ground transport, not by air into Ukraine. It does indicate they have been unwilling so far to attack western convoys. We did the same in Vietnam as eastern block freighters sailed into Haiphong. Eventually we mined the approaches, but we wouldn’t directly attack them. That might be in play here.
