Things change pretty fast sometimes in the publication business.

SPAC merger
On August 26, 2021, Forbes announced their plans to go public via a merger with a special-purpose acquisition company called Magnum Opus Acquisition, and starting to trade at the New York Stock Exchange as FRBS.[25] In February 2022, it was announced that Cryptocurrency exchange Binance would acquire a $200 million stake in Forbes as a result of the SPAC floatation.[26][27]
Sure, grow up, Ansel!
This first sentence of your comment demands explication.
Are you actually claiming that a large percentage of fallen Ukrainian soldiers have been replaced with NATO soldiers?! That NATO soldiers (not random volunteers) are currently fighting in Ukraine?!
Balderdash!

Kazan, take your meds. You’re delusional again.
nobody gives a crap about “Ghost of Kiev” or “Galicians” or any of that other nonsense you Russian shills are obsessed about
how’s the weather there in St. Petersburg? still mild this fall huh?
I am
Not sure what your point is. Everything you said is correct and all of it is putins responsibility. Not saying this is your position but the argument I keep hearing is that NATO expansion is to blame and I understand putins paranoia about nato but before Crimean invasion referendums of Donbas…. NATO had expanded greatly and not only had there not been any attacks on Russia, Russia had greatly expanded economically and was basically prosperous. To me there are many similarities to empirical Japan and today. Japan went to war for resources they felt they needed as well as a large chunk of we are better than everyone else…. Fought a war for them, lost, and then became a economic giant without owning those resources or firing a shot. Russia and China seem similar. If Russia and China stuck to their borders worked to internally improve their economies and populations then little of this would be going on but since man is failed and fallen I guess this is what we must expect.
Number of troops the United States and Europe is willing to commit for your great and heroic cause: 0.
Kind of the point Russia attacked Ukraine not NATO. US was supplying Russia and England with arms and supplies before Germany declared war on US, are you advocating for NATO and US troops to actively get involved?
And yet….no one has invaded it. Funny how that is how it’s supposed to be
Great point I keep hearing that NATO expansion and Ukraine are to blame for Russia invading yet show me one inch of Russia NATO has conquered
People can talk about corruption, soros…. But the fact remains the second largest military (at least on paper) attacked a much smaller neighboring country because they wanted to and thought it would be a cake walk. If China invaded western Canada should our response be okay keep the territory in the name of “peace”. Worked well in Czech with hitler
From the comments here there seems to be a lot of controversy.
How about maintaining the status quo, making a peace deal with Russia, getting the gas turned back on and ensuring the poor of the world don’t starve in the coming years?
Is that too much to ask or am I becoming a patchouli smelling hippie?
Lol wouldn’t go that far maybe John Lennon give peace a chance level but here is my question. Listened to gabbards new podcast and she keeps talking peace well what does that look like? Let Russia keep what it has taken and all is forgiven and that’s where it ends? Ask the Czechs when their land was traded for “peace”. This is probably not a good analogy but what if China invaded western Canada should the world “give” that land to China for “peace”. Do the Canadians have any say in this, Would the Chinese stop after this? Lots of talk about Russia akaputin were”forced” to do this by evil NATO, US, Soros…. But the fact remains NATO has never attacked Russia and Russia has attacked neighbors
Thanks for your LINK.
Looks like David Axe is pretty accurate in his reporting.
Reddit is a cesspool, but if there were videos of thousands of dead Ukes, there would be less of a “Russia is collapsing in Ukraine” vibe. There are videos of Russian successes posted, but but they are about 1 in 20 - 1 Uke tank destroyed to 20 Russian tanks being Stugna’d.
Re-posters are Ripped 20X more than pro Russian views, so the videos are new everyday.
Russia losing ground makes sense why there are videos of the dead Russian bodies they’ve left behind, but there is not a path for Russia to gain significant ground going forward, so they won’t be winning the phycological war any time soon.
Nosewanking “Instead of folding to preserve itself as a nation, Ukraine yielded to foreign pressure and committed to total war”
So dial back to 1941 and you would say “Instead of folding to preserve itself as a nation, the USSR yielded to foreign pressure and committed to total war”
Putin attacked Kyiv — if he had just taken the DPR and LPR no one would have said or done ANYTHING. Even if he took all of the Donbas.
But his attack on Kyiv signified a wider expanse of the war.
A real shame the orcs got eliminated!
Vodka sales will be down for sure now. 👎🏻
I’m not burying my head alin the sand and reading blogs where posters said Russians will be rolling into Kiev any minute now (in August)...which was delusional.
Everyone should watch the videos. Real people are following stupid orders, and dying.
Some videos are in the same place, weeks apart from where Russians were killed earlier- their blown up tanks are still their, and predictably the next group is blown up, too.
Russia keeps doing the same thing, over and over, expecting a different result.
You are comparing apples to oranges. Both Hitler and Kiev sponsors declared the goal to destroy Russia as a nation.
Russia didn’t declare goal to destroy Ukraine.
BTW, there is some strange rhetoric coming from Warsaw lately. Maybe it is time for you to brace for hard landing.
I didn’t say what would be in a peace deal, that’s not up to people residing on the other side of the planet.
It’s just that this has the potential to result in a much broader war or famine.
LOL!
