I don’t know who to believe. Both sides lie

[WellyP]

Wagner and the invading Russians have been and are being ATTRITTED. Ukraine never had the ability to hold the city, they knew it and also knew they could cause the Russians and other criminals much great pain and losses as they very, very slowly fell back to a new propared fighting position. Ukraine has lost more than 10,000 patriots Russia has lost many times that with their human wave assaults not to mention equipment losses that they cannot replace.

While the Patriots were holding the city Ukraine has had the time built a new well trained fighting force and equipped that force of around 45 - 60,000 men. The men will have first rate equipment and they have been trained to fight using NATO doctraine tactics. My money is on THE GOOD GUYS!

[It Aint Easy]

Ditto. It’s nothing other than a disaster.

Fear not, NATO will continue to fund it to kill off as much of that region’s population as possible.

Russia doesn’t conscript 18-60 year olds. They do 18-24. They don’t have to, they had an additional 40,000 volunteer when Vlad announced calling up the 300,000 prior serviceman.

Their Congress ( Duma) has not mobilized their 1.25 million man Army, yet. It WILL happen when/if the West makes a stupid move and escalates. They have plenty currently sitting safely inside Russia and borders waiting to see if NATO makes a huge mistake.

The money is going into the pockets of a vastly corrupted Ukie system.

Having worked in both places, the decades old EU saying: “ when shaking hands with a Ukrainian, be sure to check how many fingers he stole”, is spot on.

Everyone in the EU knows this, there is a good reason the Ukies since their inception in 1991 was never admitted to the EU or NATO.

Been there, done that.

[Fido969]

They’ll have gone to bed as Ukrainians facing Russian missiles, and awoken Russian facing Ukrainian missiles. Very Slavic.

And the US keeps pouring arms into that charnel house.

Another US war crime.

“ You apparently don’t care about the Russian loses, which are twice that of the Ukrainians, in your meat grinder. Russian lives have always been expendable for Russian leaders, and Putin is no different.”
********************************************************

Yes, for every Ukrainian killed by Russian artillery bombardment two Russian artillerymen are killed by exploding Russian barrels. It’s a complete mystery why the Russians foolishly continue to shell Ukrainian positions. /sarc

—-> My money is on THE GOOD GUYS!

Neither side are good guys. Globohomopedos working with ukraine are evil. Russian hard liners are enemies.

[5th MEB]

There are no good guys here, both regimes are corrupt to the core!

The faster they kill each other the better off the world is.

YES; I have sympathy and compassion for the young men and women who are getting killed, but not the corrupt governments that sent them there to die!

Biden wants war so bad, why don’t he and his cronies go there and fight it themselves!

[icclearly]

They have been deceived, again, and again by a senile old man sitting in the White House.

Your statement is only partially correct. It should read, "They have been deceived, again and again, by generation after generation of lying snake oil peddlers from Washington DC!"

Count a few of the lies....

-Send 60,000 of our best and brightest to die in the God-forsaken country of Vietnam to save our country -- and then we duck-and-run
-Invade Iraq, another sh!t-hole country, to save the planet from WMDs
-Invade Afghanistan, stay for ten years, and then another repeat duck-and-run with no American left behind
-Trump colluded with the Russians
-Hookers peed on Trump in Moscow
-Hunter's laptop was Russian propoganda
-The US DID NOT fund research that contributed to COVID
-January 6th was an attack on our government and way of life
-Take the jab which is 100% safe and 100% effective, and you will NOT catch COVID
-Shut down our country for just two weeks to flatten the curve

There more, much more, if you are interested.

What a naive bunch of fools who believe anything they hear!

[lodi90]

Wow. What a deranged rant.

[Penelope Dreadful]

I had too many margaritas to make sense of that post. Oh my head is going to hurt in the morning!

[Jeff Chandler]

It’s really amusing watching the two opposite camps yelling about “my disinfo is better than your disinfo”

Boy howdy.

[Timber Rattler]

Yes. He organized the Meat 🍖 Grinder

Then why is he so angry?

Wagner could quit Bakhmut after angry ‘Kremlin b-----s’ rant

The head of the Wagner mercenary group said he may withdraw his troops from the Russian advance on Bakhmut as he launched a vicious attack on “Kremlin b-----s” over lack of weapons supplies.

The angry rant is the most significant criticism by Yevgeny Prigozhin in his ongoing tug-of-war with the defence ministry, which has exposed in-fighting within the Russian war machine.

Dressed in full military gear and with an automatic rifle in his right hand, Mr Prigozhin was pictured with several dozen fighters behind him as he read out a statement to the defence minister, Vladimir Putin and “the people of Russia” accusing the defence ministry of refusing to send them ammunition because the military were “jealous” of their success.

“I’m withdrawing Wagner units from Bakhmut because they are doomed to die if they have no ammunition,” he said as he threatened a retreat unless ammunition arrived.

The video was published a few hours after Mr Prigozhin recorded an even more irate tirade while standing in a field littered with about 30 dead bodies - casualties of the day, he said.

“Listen to me, f---ing b-----d: These are someone’s f---ing fathers and sons. And those f---ers who won’t give us ammunition will be eating their intestines in hell,” Mr Prigozhin yelled, addressing top Russian generals.

“Shoigu, Gerasmiov, where the f--- is the ammunition? Just look at this!”

[Organic Panic]

What’s really important is Blackrock is there to “rebuild” and the big guy gets his cut.

[Cronos]

Biden tried to pull an Afghanistan with Ukraine in February 2022 when he tried to get Zelensky to surrender.

Zelensky, for all his flaws, didn’t and the Ukrainians fought on their own, winning the battle of Hostomel and of Kyiv

[Salohcin]

Yes, I forgot that Ukrainian bullets and artillery shells bounce off Russian soldiers. Thanks for reminding me.🙄

[pacific_waters]

Russia’s cheerleaders have been screaming this for months. Ukraine will pullout when they think enough Russians have died to make their offensive easier. It’s called fixing the enemy.

[pacific_waters]

Ask the dead Russians about being fed to the meatgrinder.

[House Atreides]

“ Yes, I forgot that Ukrainian bullets and artillery shells bounce off Russian soldiers. Thanks for reminding me.🙄”
*****************************************************************

Nope, Ukrainian bullets and artillery routinely kill Russian soldiers. What I DID NOT FORGET were the constant Ukrainian troop complaints that Ukrainian artillery was outnumbered 9 to 1 by Russian artillery, The Russians have a far bigger Meat Grinder than the much smaller Ukrainian Meat Grinder.
