The page also says Iranian attack failed because the damage wasn't significant. Like, they were talking on CNN about Iran warning everyone beforehand and not sending everything at once to limit damage.

    Libs got REALLY mad when you contrasted how Russia was conducting itself in the invasion to how Israel is.

      Oh man, compare Bakhmut (a battle with tens of thousands of soldiers fought over ten months) to Fallujah (a battle with thousands of soldiers fought over six weeks) - 200 civilians versus 800. Obviously there's no good amount of collateral damage but the way America and its proxies conduct their wars is clearly more destructive than the norm for the rest of the world.

      Liberals were insisting that the Wagner Group was doing a straight up Nazi Cosplay as they Blitzkregged towards Poland. But then also Ukraine's Ghost of Kiev had single-handedly shot down half the Russian air force.

      Azov were freedom fighters rescuing all the beautiful blonde-haired blue eyed babies. Russia was in the midst of a pogrom against the Uber-volk. Half the Russian population had just been killed in an ill-conceived human wave attack against stout Ukrainian defenses. Then we got an earful about how the Spring Offensive would end in Moscow.

      I think the craziest part of the war was when Prigozhin tried his coup and the Ukrainian front lines did not move. Like, if there was ever a fucking moment for western forces to reclaim territory, it was when Moscow was being evaluated and half of Wagner Group was racing towards the capital. But they just sat on their thumbs in confused shock, waiting for the next shoe to drop. This was the full extent of what Germany, France, the UK, and the US could bring to bare against Russia. Stunned silence as half of Putin's active duty military turn coat.

      What a fucking clown parade.
