Unfortunately, I have no insight into what he is thinking.

I am not sure that even our crack “intelligence community” can assess that.

Sometimes they are the same basic content rewritten and regurgitated under a new source tag.

It's pure trolling, and they don't hesitate to drop a dime if you offend them.

I wonder which account the general has here at FR.

Well, you can read the transcript yourself, straight from the Office of the President of the Russian Federation at kremlin.ru.

Meeting with Director of the Federal Service of National Guard Troops Viktor Zolotov

“And we know this is a lie, how?”

If the Daily Beast says it’s a lie, you can take it to the bank.

For years, they’ve had the world’s best sources deeply embedded in the Kremlin and the Donbas who always give them the truth!

I wouldn’t be surprised if the State Department employs the same sources.

Just in case, /s

The way I understand it, there are regions that rather b with Russia than the Ukraine.

Hobsen’s choice either way.

Well - The Russian general is talking about the population of Donbas, Luk(sp), and Crimea (in general).

He is not talking about the rest of the Ukraine.

So the Beast stating...
“The reality on the ground, however, is different: Ukrainian forces are conducting a counteroffensive in the south of Ukraine in an attempt to regain land that Russia took over early in the war.”

Is talking about the Uke side that is opposing Russia.

The Russian general is talking about the Uke’s they have been supporting since 2014 in the occupied territories.

Of course there will be people on both sides of the equation in each general population group.

Having taken the minutes for dozens of corporate and club meetings I can tell you that either this was seriously cleaned up or it’s not a transcript. In meetings where all the parties know each other and the subject you seldom get complete sentences. They tend to talk in shorthand.

Trust me. This isn’t a transcript. It’s propaganda. It reads like the dialog in a novel by a novice.

Sure,

Everyone loves the Ukrainian nationalists and can’t wait to be in the Ukrainian army defending sovereignty, democracy and human rights, I’m sure LGBTQIA is included too!

When is the Ukrainian counter offensive happening, or has it, and what did they seize?

BTW, can you please provide me with the latest Russian casualty statistics, the thousands that died trying to take the steel plant, or the names of all the heros of Snake Island that fought to the last man?

What ever happened to the “Ghost of Kiev?” By now he surely must have passed Erich Hartman.

I’m am growing tired of all that Russian misinformation and “propaganda.” I’m not sure where all these misinformed folks get that stuff from since in the land of the free and brave we ***censor*** Russian media, so folks should only be getting “the truth” (i.e. Pravda), American/Euro style.

Stories not written about that might actually be interesting:

1. US mercenaries that died or are crippled up.

2. US hardware that has already been spotted on the black market for sale, including Javelin and stingers.

3. Ukrainian casualties, apparently there aren’t any. Only Russians die.

4. Ukraine recruiting for mercenaries on their official consulate web pages in western nations and the US and Euros allowing the free movement of these folks.

5. Who is paying for these mercenaries that are paid in hard currencies of Euros, USD and Pounds at rates as high as 2000 pounds a day!?!?!? The Ukraine? Or could that be money the US and Euros are giving them?

There are many other stories that would actually be interesting, I could keep going. But there is little out there other than Ukraine is about to conquer Russia, the entire Russian population is dead, their economy destroyed, Ruble worthless, Putin a madman and suffering from XYZ mental condition, all his generals lying (while we tell the complete truth in our MSM), Russia wanting to invade Western Europe after they rebuild the Soviet empire... You know, factual and realistic information you can count on.

This thread has been brought to you by George Soros.

For all your globalist warmongering needs, turn to George Soros. (also sponsored by Pfizer)

I agree.

But it seems to send mixed messages. What message is the propagandist attempting to convey?

Are they trying to say the people in those regions support mother Russia?

Or, are they trying to set up a fall guy to take the rap when Russian forces retreat?

Maybe they are trying to send both messages at once, to keep their options open.

Hmm.

If this thread was brought to you by Soros, how do you account for the official Kremlin website hosting the transcript? Is the Kremlin brought to you by Soros too? Is the Kremlin an organ of Uke Propaganda?

Is the Kremlin as guilty of Russophobia for posting Rusdian military lies or Putin’s Rashist manifesto, as the Western press that’s selectively quoting from it?

The sources being posted to promote this war are wholly demonic.

Astounding, the level of intensity you post anti-American and Leftist ideals.

Soros and the Kalisz Schwab are quite pleased with your type.

Loving God,
We pray for peace and reunification for the families caught in the conflict in Ukraine. We ask your
blessing and protection for the men who are leaving their wives, their children, their sisters, and their
parents so that they can defend their country. We pray too for those whom they leave behind, that they
would not be overtaken by anxiety and terror about their loved ones but would have the peace of your
Holy Spirit. We pray that you would comfort those who have been separated from their families. Remind
us that even when we feel overwhelmed, you are never overpowered. Amen
