Russia-Ukraine War (continuing)

It is almost entertaining to see how quickly the sources used by this particular poster are shot down and exposed as unreliable propaganda. It is equally impressive how quickly he can then ignore the perfectly valid rebuttals and go on to find another source of lies and propaganda.

Every single post, dozens of them, for days, is exposed as a bunch of cadswallop posted by proven liars.

Every argument countered with fact, the rebuttal is then blithely ignored and another bunch of lies brought up.

I especially enjoyed the nonsense about a disgruntled Ukrainian turned traitor and the foolish request for a source to the claim, which brought up Diarmuid MacMurrough.

It is almost as if this poster has set out to intentionally expose himself as a naive fool.

If Trump wants to enable cheap fuel prices as promised he needs to open the floodgates and that'll tank the price and the Russian economy along with it. Putin is no longer in the position of power from his first term. Trump is now the A side.

They have targeted Zelensky in multiple assassination attempts, and will always try to take out Ukrainian military officials (they just aren't very good at it). They have targeted and destroyed government and administration buildings outside of Kyiv. A month or two back the Russians have said they will target "decision-making" centres - aka government.

The Ukrainians have the capacity to reach Moscow - Putin may be reluctant to encourage that.

Its complete nonsense that Russia have not targeted Ukranian military/policacal leadership in Kiev.

There is a whole wikipedia page on assassination attempts on Zelensky: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assassination_attempts_on_Volodymyr_Zelenskyy

Even lately, Putin has threatened "decision-making centres" in Kyiv https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/putin-says-russia-could-strike-decision-making-centres-kyiv-2024-11-28/?utm_source=chatgpt.com

Dont blame the Ukrainians just because they are better at it than then Russians.

Just an observation. There are reports Ukraine may be preparing for another counter offensive soon maybe into another region of Russia. Reports of Ukrainian armour going missing suggesting it could be used.

There's been a clear shortage of Russian armour lately also. Obviously their stocks are dwindling but they're not expected to be this short by now. Is Russian armour also missing in anticipation of this counter attack?

Trump shouldn't need to be worried about whatever Putin has on him. Russia could show the world a video of Trump fellating a pig and his supporters would not give one iota of a toss.

Not very in touch with the whole thing, are you?

There have also been multiple assassination attempts on Budanov himself.

But it has come at a cost. When the GUR chief does step out, he moves with an entourage of bodyguards and intelligence agents. Of the many assassination attempts against him — which he describes as “nothing special” — the closest call came in 2019, when a bomb placed beneath his vehicle exploded prematurely. He was uninjured.Russia has blamed Ukraine’s GUR for an explosion on the Crimean bridge in October His wife Marianna Budanova was less fortunate when she was intentionally poisoned with heavy metals in November, along with several GUR officers, according to the agency. “She’s getting treatment, she feels better now,” Budanov said. He declined to elaborate whether he or his wife was the intended target of the poisoning. https://www.ft.com/content/98c005cd-7def-44b5-a938-5243c77520a9

I doubt you have ever heard of the dioxin poisoning of a previous pro western Ukrainian president, Viktor Yushchenko:

As well as that, they also have the delightful Vranyo, which is the telling of outrageous lies that are not expected to be believed, but will aggravate as the circumstances are usually such that the recipient is restrained by etiquette or some other constraint from calling it out directly, and has to suffer, biting their tongue. This is clearly Putins favourite. Using the dog to rattle Merkle was in a similar vein, she had to endure and was unable to tell him to fu​ck off.

You know I’m lying, and I know that you know, and you know that I know that you know, but I go ahead with a straight face, and you nod seriously and take notes.

a very quick Google search and @Kermit.de.frog wouldn't have made himself look so silly…

😂😂

It'd needed lots of local intelligence and days or weeks of input on the particular person targeted and where best place and how to carry it out.

One John Doe picked up so quickly from outside Russia with just a phone call of a promise of cash seems fairyland for Russian audience.

https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2024/12/18/hundreds-of-north-korean-troops-killed-fighting-for-russia-against-ukraine-says-us

The first engagements I read of involving North Korean troops are only about a week old. If they have already suffered "100s of casualties" per reports from a few sources, then we are talking a casualty rate of 4% to 8% (of 10,000 sent) in a week or maybe 2 weeks.

The conclusion must be, they are even more poorly trained than conscripted Russian convicts, they are been used as meatshields to a greater extent than Russians, or Russians have similar casualty rates.

incredible if that is true and he succeeds - after all he has done to the ordinary citizens . When you look at the mass graves, the jails , torture chambers, etc, etc, you then pivot to all the physical destruction / mass killings directly by Russian planes piloted by Russian pilots. One could say that Assad’s mass burials are inside the graveyard walls while Putins mass graves in SyriaareOUTSODE the ‘OFFICIAL graveyard walls

The truth is stranger than fiction. I'd say if a fire-hosenik came up with a headline like these they'd be promoted promptly.

Zelenskyy Claims Russia Burning Faces Of Dead North Korean Soldiers To Conceal Identity - News18

On Monday, President Zelensky posted drone footage on Telegram that showed a number of men taking cover behind trees, saying they were North Korean troops who had just taken part in an assault on a Ukrainian position.

He also posted footage which he said showed Russian troops trying to conceal the presence of North Koreans on the battlefield by using a campfire to burn the faces of those who had been killed.
