Russia - threadbanned users in OP

What’s worse, a “keyboard warrior” or a ‘It’s pointless defeatist”?

Do you think you are revealing NATO secrets here that this is tough for Ukraine or that Russia might up the barbarity?

I do think it’s important to challenge the doom and gloom merchants or those that trot out the bleeding obvious “That must be bad for morale”. If the Ukrainians aren’t giving up, neither should we. Do you want Zekensky to appear on TV and say, this is on a knife’s edge, the Russians may win?

I’ve no doubt there are plenty natives on boards.ie that would love to see Western culture get a bloody nose. I’m not one of those.

Can you do me a favour, post up a contribution of yours where you posted bad news re Russia in this war? I can recall several where you posted bad news re Ukraine’s position. Is that just a coincidence?

That G7 discussion, despite your certainty, is speculation to everyone else. Nobody on this thread is in doubt as to the dangers facing Ukraine.

And there are obvious trolls and not so obvious trolls. Some here would like Ukrainian support to dwindle. They can post to that effect, but won’t go unchallenged.

For example, to my mind pulling back from Severodonetsk was the smart strategy. Clearly, leave the Russians to their pyrrhic victory and hit them as they try to cross the river. Someone else chimed in ”That can’t be good for morale”?

To what end that comment?

What are you even talking about? Why are you even mentioning Zelensky? We are talking about this forum, I don’t think Zelensky is reading this forum, what is said in this forum has no impact on the war or morale. Stating facts on the battlefield isn’t giving up and I hate to break it to you but it doesn’t matter 1 **** or not if you give up because you’re not in Ukraine . You’d seriously want to get a grip.

Thanks for proving my point, that you must “challenge” facts that aren’t positive for Ukraine on the battlefield. You call it doom and gloom, no it’s just balanced. The irony is you’re very Putin like in how you try stamp out facts you don’t like and accuse that person of being x y and z.

And trotting out the bleeding obvious was in relation to a post that tried to turn them pulling out of the city yesterday as something rosy. It needed a dose of reality hence the bad for morale. Just as it was bad for Russian morale when they fled the outskirts of Kyiv.

And to you follow on post, I’ve called for Putin to be hung at The Hague several times in here, expressed how much I hate him countless times as I can still see you’re going with I’m a Putin bot conspiracy for simply stating yesterday won’t be good for morale.

Now you can try and live in alternative fragile world where everything is rosy and Ukraine is winning easy and any facts are seen as doom and gloom Putin botters that is fine with me. The reality is the war is tough on both sides and could still go either way. I hope Ukraine wins and Putin gets murdered , Russia has an uprising and embraces democracy.

Rte news just now said yesterday was a serious setback for Ukraine. I guess they’re now Putin bots who need to be challenged too. Grow up and get in the real world.

I didn’t ask you to say if you dislike Putin. I asked you to show the balance you seem to be asking of everybody else, where have you posted bad news re Russian developments? I can recall you posting several times re Ukrainian set backs.

Or, have you taken on the pro Russian developments PR to give balance… balance to the invading, civilian murdering/raping Russian invaders?

I posted 1 battlefield story on this entire thread and it was last night. I posted the story from sky news last night of the Ukrainian commander stating they lost 80% of their elite force which had been together from 2018. I posted it because it is significant to the war, not for any of those sick reasons you tried to label at me. Is the Ukrainian commander who told sky news also all those things you’re accusing me of for repeating what he said? Just a scummy way to behave.

See the trouble you have is that your emotionally unhinged. You cannot separate the two things. You can be entirely in support of Ukraine and analysis objectively what is happening on the ground vs the opposing troops. That’s what those retired generals who go on TV to give analysis do, they’re for Ukraine but will state how the war is going for both sides. They won’t let bias come in to their analysis on the actual war. Whereas, you think the person is a Putin bot if they mention anything bad about the war and make disgusting allegations. Not much hope for you.
