The Ukes are sadly being bled white. Contrary to the laughable propaganda you hear from the Neocons in the administration and their propaganda channels in the corporate media, it is the Ukrainians who are losing 7 or 8 times the men the Russians are losing, not the other way around.

What the hell does anybody expect when the Russians have about 10 times the artillery? So far the Russians haven’t even been using mostly their professional first rate troops. They’re emptying out prisons, they’re using militiamen from the Donbas, they’re using mercs from Syria, they’re using Chechens, etc. They’re essentially flushing the toilet using troops they view as disposable. In short, they’re not sending their best.

The longer this goes on, the worse its going to get. Far from a Ukrainian offensive, it is the Russians who are going to break through and gobble up more territory (Kharkov, Odessa, etc) if this goes on. Once they take those areas, they will have zero incentive to ever give them back.

There is more religious freedom in Ukraine than in Russia.

Why should they? Ukraine is a pseudo-state, not a real country. The people in the areas you mention are Russian-speaking and basically Russians. They have been treated badly enough by the Kiev regime and the hoho military that Russian rulers have determined they will no longer be permitted to rule or govern Russians. Same thing could easily happen with other non-hoho parts of the pseudo-state.

Bakhmut itself is a small town of no significant military importance. Yet it is an opportunity because Russians have invested their prestige into taking it and for Ukrainians it is like shooting fish in a barrel. As long as Russians keep sending the human waves they keep killing them.

Sad to see Slavs killing other Slavs. They should unite and go after the real enemy, the filthy degenerate Axis of evil Clinton/Obama/Biden regime. There is where you will find the original source of Satanic power and destruction.

That ‘missing minute’ was rather revealing.

The Christians are being attacked by the Russian Army and you post a photo of a government-controlled institution.

“About half of Ukrainians attend church services, which has hardly changed since 2000. In general, 15.6 per cent of Ukrainians go to church once a week or more often, another 18 per cent once a month and 34.6 per cent only on major holidays.”

“In Russia the Orthodox celebrations of last Christmas, according to police assessments, were attended by 1 million 400 thousand people, equal to 1% of the population. It is a clearly lower figure than that of 5 or 10 years ago; however not everyone accepts it: some say the police didn’t count correctly; in any case, no type of calculation records a presence of the faithful higher than 3%, and in one of the major holidays.”

I don’t see that he is rooting. He is just saying things might not be as you think.
