Anyone who was watching any of this unfold, without any bias towards either side, saw this coming a LONG time ago.
This isn't a war of attrition or a small countries struggle against an invading power (the typical lib and lefty position) it was always, always about the expansion of NATO. Anyone with a modicum of decency would admit this. Zelensky has made a grave mistake, he's fought to the last man, on Russias terms (in Bachmut) and now has no manpower left to fight.
The media made this worse by telling some massive, mega big whoppers on these forums and on the television...
Russia running out of missiles.
Putin popularity plummeting.
Sanctions are having an effect.
Russia losing all their tanks and armed forces.
Ukraine gaining ground.
UK and America not having troops in the country.
Every single on of these is a darned LIE and the people in the 'know' understand this. NATO has absolutely cornered themselves here because they've made this war so unwinnable for both sides. NATO cannot back down, or risks being utterly humiliated and defeated by Russia. Russia can not back down, because at this point why would they? Zelensky has already stated that the only acceptable end to this is the complete defeat of the Russians (which looks like a mushroom cloud btw).
This entire conflict is yet another globalist instrument to usher in more weapons sales, destabilisation for rule through fear and fear. Ukraine is absolutely finished as a country now, there's nothing left. What will the ultra right do now?
Zelensky has already tried to start nuclear war, TWICE - make no mistake, this is where it ends for him.......

Finland, Sweden and Turkey joining NATO will end in WWIII. US claims it is Russia who is encroaching on the west, seems like maybe it is the opposite? What would the US do if Mexico and Canada were to ally with Russia? Would we see that as a provocation?

A former senior advisor to the Secretary of Defense is fake news?
I guess congratulations are in order.
You've outdone yourself.
I still don't see this battle ending.
