It looks like Russia is handing Ukraine their ass on the battlefield.
So which is it? For the past year, we were consistently told the russkies are running out of ammo and their soldiers were weak, untrained, and a bunch of convicts, and had to use shovels in combat.
This is what I hate about propaganda. I get secrecy in war, but the constant lies have created a momentum of their own that has crashed into hard reality and they STILL pretend.
Another media article downplaying counteroffensive hopes.

Mmmm

Yup. Russia is winning but in an easterly direction.
So, how do the Russians get improved weaponry in 15 moths that they didn’t have in the past?
It takes time to develop and build new weapons. Methinks that their ‘improved’ weapons are the same as what they had before.
In any case, it seems that the Ukrainians are getting results with their current counteroffensive, ‘new’ Russian weaponry notwithstanding.

John McCain 2015: "Russia is a gas station masquerading as a country," It's kleptocracy. It's corruption. It's a nation that's really only dependent upon oil and gas for their economy, and so economic sanctions are important."
Jake Sullivan 2016: "Vladmir Putin just confirmed that Donald Trump is carrying Russia's water with his pro-Putin wish list of policies, and Trump will go through with it."
these are your "leaders" America.
While we have been spending the years bragging about how great we are and pushing a wokey gay and transgender military while setting race fires, open borders, and self destruction inside our own country, Russia and China have been preparing for what they knew was coming their way.
Very sad that we have turned the US over to the UN and the NWO.
Improved weaponry? They ran out of missiles last March...or was it May?
Armor isn’t what it used to be. Both sides are losing armored vehicles at a high rate.
