Most people believe what they want to believe. Why do so many people here want to believe Russia is winning that they swallow a BS article like this. It is vital that Ukraine wins and they need our help. If all of these weapons we were sending them end up in other places because of corruption why is Ukraine holding on so valiantly. Do people here really want Russia to win because Biden is actually doing the only thing right that he has ever done right in his life?
I assume the CFR is the Council on Foreign Relations?
What you do not get, is that Xi & the CCP are watching this with great glee, as the U.S. & NATO throw their weapons into Ukraine. Why you ask? Because China has been at war with the U.S. for decades now, and the weaker we become they less threat we are and the easier it will be to neuter the U.S.
LOL the same evil Russians who were colluding with Trump?
Oh wait, Special Counsel John Durham has popped opened Hillary’s can of worms!
While NATO looks more like a toothless tiger, this war has also exposed stinginess of European spending on military since WWII ended. Why should EU spend when Uncle Sam was paying for their defense needs?
May be Zelensky should have been smarter and not be so naïve in believing Biden for military support while pushing for NATO membership on Russia’sborder.
It does stink to the high heavens, though..
Ping for the next war!
The problem is that none of us have any idea how the war is going because we have professional narrators who weave their stories with no facts to constrain them. Are the Russians getting wiped out? Are the Ukrainians? Who knows? We do know one thing and that is that the US is footing this fiasco, and the men behind the curtains are the only ones that know what they want.
Yes, the Chinese are enjoying this episode of “Let’s you and him fight.”
A weakened West won’t be able to do much in TIwan. The Pacific could become a Chinese lake. And a weakened Russia would have trouble holding onto Siberia. China could dominate it, even if the figleaf of Russian sovereignty over it were to be maintained.
If pajama clad Vietcong ran the mighty superpower USA out of Vietnam, with Americans escaping from roof tops in helicopters, why is this a surprise?
Can someone name ONE war which was won against guerilla tactics? Does Russia ever wanted to OCCUPY Ukraine? Only naive people believe that. Putin’s goal was never to occupy Kiev. Putin’s main goal was to occupy Donbas and possibly open land access to Crimea and control all access to Black Sea.
This is patently absurd. The free flow of capital, and the attendant grift, is American M1. China is stuck on our teat. All they did is give Putlim a credit card. Meanwhile, all of the NATO-shy EU countries are begging for admission, which the dumbass author has to admit further up!
The T-62s are being deployed in the rear to control the land areas already taken, not directly to the front lines.
Russia has plenty of tanks, and perhaps more importantly plenty of diesel to run them...despite what the western fabulists are saying.
Ukraine is off the front pages - George Washington Zelinsky is not being interviewed every 5 minutes by the Fake News Networks - time to move on...
What kind of Communist nonsense is this? Sounds like the CPRF wrote it.
Russia is winning by bombing Ukraine to smithereens. Sure, some parts of Ukraine are being left alone now, except for the weapons that are headed east. The Russians have bombed numerous bridges as part of the effort to stop the western weapons from being deployed to the east.
Ukraine is not at all vital. If the country disappeared it would not make.a bit of difference.
You living a fantasy world.
Russia is going to be control the entire Black Sea coastline, much of the prime farmland and industry in the areas of Ukraine they have under their control.
The ruble is best performing currency of the year and at four-year high compared to the dollar. Russia has increased the amount of oil revenue during this war and is running a surplus to its Treasury.
Everything is coming up roses for the Russians. That's not surprising given who is running this country.
All Williams can offer is arrogance.
“A weakened West won’t be able to do much in TIwan. The Pacific could become a Chinese lake. And a weakened Russia would have trouble holding onto Siberia. China could dominate it, even if the figleaf of Russian sovereignty over it were to be maintained.”
Another “China-is-superman” comicbook fantasy.
The last time I looked, the ChiComm army got its ass handed to them when it invaded Ladakh in India, the summer of 2020. The Indians sent in their Indian Army Gurkhas who wiped out the ChiComm forces and stacked their bodies like cordwood.
The Chinese moms, who lost their only sons, were furious at Winnie-the-poo and the episode nearly cost President Xi Jinping his head as General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party.
“It is vital that Ukraine wins ...”
List reasons
Bigtime, mainly because it was Gurkhas.
“Long pile of pure bs.”
Specifically, what part of this long article is pure BS?
