OK, sure, that totally makes sense somehow in the scope of the conversation.

I believe you.

a reply to: Grimpachi

I could care less what you believe. My concern is the lies you are spreading and then the lies you tell to try to get out of the first lie.

a reply to: Xcathdra

Sure bro. And black is white and up is down.

Too Few Troops, Not Enough Supplies—Russia’s Eastern Offensive Could Be Doomed

As Russia’s wider war in Ukraine nears its second month, the Kremlin still hasn’t solved its fundamental military problems.

The Russian army didn’t have enough infantry and supply trucks to win a three-front war in Ukraine’s south, east and north. Now it’s fighting on only two fronts—the south and east. But it’s got even fewer infantry and trucks than before.

So while the Russians’ artillery might punch a hole in the outermost Ukrainian defenses, allowing a few tank battalions to roll through, there aren’t enough foot soldiers to both protect the tanks and guard the flanks of the advance. To say nothing of securing fragile supply lines as they stretch out over scores or hundreds of miles from the nearest railheads.

Logistical failures doomed Russia’s attempt to encircle Kyiv in the first month of the war. Those same logistical failures, exacerbated by a worsening infantry shortage, could doom Russia’s offensive in the east, too.

That statement applies to everyone including yourself so there is no argument from me.

"Facts are facts and your lies are your lies."

I don't really see it catching on because even kids know that about the world. No one is going to be asking if they can use that in a fortune cookie.

As such take everything as a possibility and NOT as absolute truth.

Hey you lie all you want since its the only way to sell Putin's, and your, bull#.

Since you have tried to derail the thread -
FACT - Zelensky commented on reacquiring nukes Feb of 2022. Russia started its invasion of Ukraine in 2014.

a reply to: Xcathdra

Must be really convenient to be able to label any info or facts that you don't like as lies.


That is something a child would do.

No just yours and Putin's. If you want to continue discussing your lies start a new thread and take your bs there.

You want to play? OK

It is also a fact that I stated that Zelensy made a threat about nukes before the invasion. Only a fool would claim otherwise. And world leaders who are not fools made statements about Zelenskys threat.

Then you come in claiming BS. I tried to give you an out and wouldn't let it go.

Tell me how you figured my statement about Zelensky would apply to the 2014 invasion? How could you take that leap of logic?

You are the worst kind of dishonest person on here.

I honestly dont believe Grimpachi is derailing the thread. I am not contributing only reading the updates and I very much enjoy your posts but also Grimpachis.

Both of you have been providing good info for alot of us who just prefer to read and weigh the info and decide for ourselves what we see as the truth.

Sometimes its hard to come to a conclusion at the moment to what is fact or propaganda but we also need to have a balance of both sides of the situation whether we have made the right choice on what is truth or lies.

Ultimitely what is most important is always having both sides of a story and making our own decisions.

Thank you for all the work you have put into this thread.

Again Zelensky made the reacquiring nukes comment in 2022. Russia started its invasion of Ukraine in 2014.

Gonzalo Lira was Detained by Ukrainian Authorities For A Week

Gonzalo Lira resurfaced in a live-stream on Thursday night and revealed he was detained by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) for a week

a reply to: Blowback

So is this guy dead or has he just been silenced like the people on the list he provided?

those two communist brothers in jail etc
and the other politicians that are now dead

pretty interesting , especially when they disappear
surely one person cant fight the war machine , surely its easier just to say they are liars
and spreading false info using "fact checkers" and just ban all their posts as we have seen happen to many people.

Russian attack helicopters still operating at night despite threat of MANPADS, mostly at night using thermal which makes them difficult to spot by individual soldiers.
