Saying RT is the same as privately-owned US news outlets working with the government at times is laughable. Especially from a fellow military officer. This is exactly the point of view Russia would like you to have! So well done there.
Reminds me of the video below. While Trump is not technically wrong from a very cynical POV, the worldview is wrong IMHO in that in puts the U.S. government on the same morally equivalent ground as the Russian government, and again, as a mil officer I sincerely hope you don’t actually believe that!
the same "privately owned" US news outlets who have CIA officers on the payroll?

Bashi is getting a bit close. Continuously proclaiming the inevitability of Russian victory and arguing that Ukrainian corruption sets them up as an unworthy ally. Especially when there are plenty of examples of much bigger countries being defeated/repelled by well-funded underdogs. But he's also just a troll
But yeah, the character attacks as Russian shills is getting old.
choose your fighter. i'd take the russian.

Same is true when you are telling us all not to be “fooled by the narrative” and listening to a podcast hosted by RT and funded by mysterious sources.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk"fooled by the narrative"
like the narrative that the ukranian 2023 offensive disastrously failed? that russia has momentum and is advancing?
what narrative are you presenting...are you saying Ukraine is winning and everything is fine? because that's not the facts at this moment.
you guys have this idea that sprinkling magical money into this conflict will generate an auto win for Ukraine. all i'm saying is that will not happen. why does that make me a "russian propaganda agent"?
there are actual FACTS presented in the Duran podcast...not political platitudes being espoused by western politicians...one who finds himself in a election cycle.

hmmmm i seem to remember people like you and the western media calling anyone who didn't question the COVID narrative guilty of peddling "fake news" and "misinformation"
hell if you're against the latest Ukranian spending package one finds themselves labeled "pro-russian" and "anti-democracy".
the facts on the battlefield and the analysis done by the Duran podcast match up. if that's considered Russian "fake news" then you're no better than Baghdad Bob.

US considering sending more "advisors" to Ukraine?
gee, where have we heard that before? how'd that work out for us last time?
-
the duran podcast has been FAR more accurate about what is happening in Ukraine than any western media outlet.
david sacks was recently a guest on their podcast. are you calling david sacks a russian shrill? hardly.
the truth will eventually come out (like COVID) and you will be shown to be a fool. hell you haven't even listened to any of the podcast! just parroting what you have found online that suits your narrative.
-
ah yes the "you don't agree with my view point so you are russian propaganda" view.
very persuasive!
david sacks. known KGB agent.

The lines have shifted several times. You seem to only recognize one direction.
The initial thrust of the invasion stopped, followed by counter-attacks by both sides...doesn't sound like the one-sided war you seem to be describing.
what direction is it going in now?
we can all want ukraine to win, that doesn't change the facts on the battlefield. nor the calculus to make a victory happen.
ukraine can only defeat russia with direct NATO intervention.
-
two points:
1. they are not blunting anything
2. they are not stopping russian advances.
russia is clearly advancing, capturing territory, and clearly winning this war. and they will win regardless of how much money/ammo we give them.

hmm strange i was able to see it without a subscription.
BL: the math doesnt add up i.e. we can produce about 5-10% of required ammunition

im not referencing him specifically. i'm saying generally. clearly there is big tech censorship. thats proven and not conspiracy.
i'm saying if big tech will censor a person, why is it hard to believe massive investment banks wouldn't influence elections?

care to extrapolate on your conspiracy theory?
if big tech censors individual facebook posts and youtube videos you don't think the most powerful and wealthy corporations in the world would put their finger on the scale of a presidential election for the most powerful office in human history?
it's not a conspiracy theory. you're just incredibly naive and totally plugged into the system.

If you establish that you are going to feed someone, then stop feeding them without sufficient time or opportunity to feed themselves, then yes, you are starving them. You can argue whether you should have fed them in the first place, but once you establish a relationship, what you do in that relationship matters.
i would like to thank you for proving my point about post WWII foreign policy being a disaster.
we constantly do what you just described above to "allies". i'm not sure why anyone is surprised we're doing it to ukraine.
and yes, i do argue that we should stop feeding

The you have to teach them how to fish...It is not like they know how to make the Javelin, ATACM, and M-1 Abrams...and maybe in the long run you don't want them to know how.
CH you're a reasonable poster on here.
do you honestly think ukraine could defeat russia on the battlefield with unlimited weaponry?
-
im tired of the 1930 germany comparisons.
putin has shown zero interest in conquering europe. all talk of russia marching to paris if we dont stop them at ukraine is total fear mongering.

because ukraine has NEVER been a US national security concern. we have never and will never care about ukraine.
it's apples to oranges.

This is an ironic thing to say considering they have been starved of the weaponry required to fight. If I were a bit more cynical I would say you are being intentionally disingenuous.
We shouldn't be sending them money or weapons!
*We stop sending them money and weapons.*
See!? They are losing, so there's no point in sending the money or weaponry!
they have not been starved of the weaponry.
you could give ukraine 600b and it wouldn't matter. it's a numbers game. russia has far more men to fight ukraine.
and the russian industrial base is ramping up to full speed. russian army is 15% larger now than when the war began. some of you guys need to brush up on your history about how the russian bear conducts war.
let me repeat: there is ZERO chance ukraine will win this war. it's a losing proposition. what we SHOULD be doing is working towards a negotiated settlement.

i'm seeing a familiar trend of the west focusing on small tactical victories and missing the major strategic loss. great they shot down a bomber.
but that won't prevent them from losing the war.
it's amazing that such professionally educated officers can't grasp ukraine is losing. badly. and they have zero chance of beating russia.
