So great to hear this is the case, I’ll submit it for posting at DU where the sentiments are similar.
As expected, Putin’s intended cannon fodder. Not even issuing them proper weapons or ammunition with which to fight.
It’s gonna get really cold soon. I hope they have good boots and socks.
But they probably have to share those.
If things are half as bad as this propaganda states, these troops will be Ukraine’s problem in a few weeks as they will surrender en mass.
It’s the Zeeper Daily Mail!
Isn’t this the same as how Russians fought WWI and WWII?
I cannot recommend Putin’s war.
I see the whole thing as senseless waste of human life. I do believe Ukraine has a right to defend its own nation.
I don’t necessarily take every news story about Russia or the front at face value however. I don’t fall for Russian propegandists here om this site either. They would justify killing many innocents if it somehow hurt the left. That is not sensible or strategic, only foolishness.
Yes, the Russian military has always had a reputation for brutality. The difference nowadays is social media.
It appears to me that Russia is baiting Ukraine to take territory and then face the task of trying to take a city Russia holds, such as Kherson. If Ukaine wishes to oust Russia from Kherson it will have to mass forces necessary to conduct the block to block fighting that Russia did when it captured Mariupol. Remember that?
Even if this is not a Russian plan (i.e., baiting the Ukrainians) the outcome will be the same. Ukraine will have to conduct a frontal assault on the city of Kherson and, in order to do this, will have to mass troops and equipment that will be easy targets for Russian artillery, missiles and bombs. Ukraine has no military power to counter what Russia can unleash. So, if your panties are in a knot over “Russia losing territory”, I suggest you take a nap on the fainting couch and calm down.
Who cares how the Russians treat their soldiers, that’s not going to change the fact that the Biden administration has started WWIII.
Tell your Putin to leave Ukraine.
AS you return to your home stomping grounds of Putin-lovers?
Nice to read a reasoned post from someone who actually THINKS...
This is where the new-fangled US Army is headed.
Nice to see that some things never change isn’t it?
If Ivan is anything he’s consistent.
Another bit of news that I regard as questionable….but still possible.
SO much disinformation and lies from every direction. I tend to believe WSJ reporting more than other sources, substack the least, none completely.
“Isn’t this the same as how Russians fought WWI and WWII?””
Yeah pretty much. Only they didn’t have nukes.
Mass drone attacks have replaced Moscow’s plans.
