Bookmarked this one as well lol lol lol

Wow, you've bookmarked articles to have a go at a fella who's clearly trying his best to protect a nation of 40 million people all while having a price on his and his young family's heads. Get a grip man.
At least wait till the dust settles before the character assassination.

I havent bookmarked anything - I just did a google search.
 
People like Kev are always about whataboutism and false equivalencies. I understand mostly they are just trying to be funny, or appear to be insightful, but mostly it's just moronic
It's a demographic of society who have identified that nation-states aren't necessarily faithful actors and so can't be taken at their word.

However, where they tend to struggle is a complete inability to analyse sources correctly, find their biases, understand the political slant between the lines, and then take useful information from that source (despite its clear bias).

Instead, they view things in an oversimplified good-evil axis - mainstream media aren't telling the truth, and so this piece of blatant propaganda from this incredibly niche source must be true.
 
According to Russian Ministry of Defense, 498 dead Russian soldiers, 1597 wounded.

It kinda correspond with yesterday US/EU report about 2000 Russian casualties so far

oh right, my bad, still tho, point stands.
I know you're intent on everyone seeing two sides to this
but I honestly think this war is very cut and dried here.
Thats why you're getting such hassle.
It's not some convoluted proxy war with layers upon layers of geopolitical levels.
One megalomaniac has unjustly invaded his neighbor in a dangerous power grab.
His initial ground forays were poorly planned and executed so he's acting out and using far more dangerous tactics.
Spending time besmirching the character of the victim is pretty gross in fairness.
 
If Russia adopts martial law, it will instantly contradict all of propoganda and all of their work keeping Russians in the dark will go out the window in an instant. Though no doubt when services stopped working and the ruble crashed people must have already started to figure things out.

If Ukraine can destroy that large convoy(or did already), then I think it basically means Putin cannot invade Ukraine with a land war. I do not think he will stop. So he will instead resort to his last resort, and that is literally leveling everything with massive bombs. Every FOAB he has will be dropped there in city centers and what not. If this man hates his own citizens so much for being against him, imagine how much he hates Ukranian citizens for standing up to and stopping his army in many towns etc. If that convoy got decimated way before it even got to its target, I dont see how Russia physically takes any of the major centers in Ukraine without just obliterating everything. The longer it goes on, the more soldiers desert, the more supplies get burned through, the more money he loses, the more he realizes time is running out to invade Ukraine the more desperate and unhinged he will become. Again, I think its going to take a major uprising of the Russian people or a coup to end it without massive loss of life(far beyond what we have seen so far). Im hopeful that will happen, and the end result will ultimately be the opportunity for the Russian people to be free, if they finally take it. They've had multiple opportunities in the past 100 years to do what most nations with democracies had to do: go through brutal times and give up some of their lives for the sake of freedom. They didnt take those opportunities. Now they get another chance.

im not sure about that actually.

As far failing on the ground, then moving on to more dangerous tactics, I am not sure thats the case either

In fact artillery bombardment is and has been a cornerstone of Soviet/Russian war tactics for the last 80 years.

He's not. Like he only wanted people to see Epstein's side and the nonces he served, he is taking Putin's side with only bare, insincere lip service to the population and country he is destroying without cause.

In a couple of ways, Kev has a lot in common with Putin. He ignores anyone trying to talk even a shred of sense into him, limits his information environment to "Kev the Rat google searches" and is bombarding an otherwise peaceful place with barely coherent attacks, relying on the only true quality his chosen weapon (which is being a remorseless bellend) has: complete limitlessness

the Ukraine claim is still going up by 1,000 a day.

At some point its going to be exposed for what it is - 20,000 dead after 20 days??? really?

I think there is a rational reason Russia/Putin have done it. This video explains a couple possible reasons that I had not considered before:


Dismissing it as the actions of a madman only blinds you to look in the short term.
