I don’t have a link that “Putin is a piece of shit KGB Oligharch who surrounds himself with yes men that tell him his shit doesn’t stink.”

A Link?

Where TF have you been for the last 30 years? Living in your basement, jacking off to Pictures of shirtless Putin on a horse?

If you speak out against Putin, you get put in jail. Even calling him “crazy”... in context “Putin is crazy thinking he could take Ukraine in 3 days”, will get you arrested in Moscow.

Some people bitching about the J6 arrests think Putin is cool.

Unbelievable, off the charts ignorance.

Kherson soon will be part of the Russian Federation or independent state affiliated with it.

If that is true, why is this guy Retreating over the last 1 lane Pontoon Bridge over the Dnipr?

The location of Video has bee Geolocated to a couple feet. He is a Russian sniper with an SVD. He is travel South out of Kherson on a Bridge, in the last 3 days.

Shouldn't a sniper be going north? He was uninjured and talking normally until the HIMARS started landing on him.

I’m really curious if your thinking will change when the Ukrainians liberate Kherson from the invaders. What will strike you as a plausible excuse for the defeat? Or will you even be able to acknowledge it as such? Will you buy excuses that it was just a ‘feint’ and Russia really had no interest in capturing the city?

I’m trying to get an answer from at least one of the people that think Russia is winning, but y’all seem scared to acknowledge losing Kherson would be a defeat.

So imagine the unthinkable, would you buy an excuse for losing Kherson, or would it mark another Russian defeat in this war?

More than 3,000 Ukrainians have died by now in the Kherson offensive...

Do you really believe that? Your source is just regurgitated Russian propaganda.

If you aren't just posting for Putin why don't you do some research and see if you can find any real data to support that claim.

I'll save you some time. You won't.

Nothing close to the situation for the Russians.

It isn't pleasant to watch, but the poorly supported Russian soldiers are having a rough time.

Being stuck on a barge crossing a river under artillery fire is not fun. Particularly when you get hit with shrapnel.

Too bad these young Russian men had to use a stolen truck because the Russian army couldn't get them a real armored vehicle. What a waste of young people.

No JonPreston, we are not going to post videos that can give away unit locations. That's something Russians do.

Good try, is that something your bosses asked for?

Do you know any of these guys?

When you posted pictures of the Halloween pumpkins you carved gushing over George Bush, were you concerned about location?

Brave foreign members of the UAF using US style tactics.

Heavy suppression fire, fast movement, overwhelming firepower.

Imagine the Russian kids in the house. First it is heavy machine gun fire. Then two different rockets. And then the dismounted infantry arrive.

Bob on 7th September 2022 "the offensive in the south has ended"

Map on 7th September 2022

And in January 2023

Nope, the offensive hadn't ended.

And the Ukrainians took back territory in the south.

Kazan “Russia only using 10% of its army. “

Your English grammar is lacking, Kazan.

The 10% or so of the entire Russian army deployed to Ukraine represents approximately 85% of their combat personnel. Only a few small formations are still deployed elsewhere, nearly everyone who is expected to go to combat went to Ukraine. Fewer than one in ten soldiers in any army are combat personnel. In modern armies the ratio is closer to one in fifteen. The rest are mechanics, cooks, laundrymen, medics, truck drivers, security personnel, firefighters and more. You have judges, lawyers, criminal investigators, microbiologists, psychotherapists (one word), civil engineers, programmers, PR personnel and so on and on and on.

The Russian Army is between 160–170 active BTGs. They sent in 120. That’s 75% of the active army.

Just one of many, many predictions he and his comrades made last summer that turned out to be complete hogwash and wishcasting.
