    Reading the front page of :reddit-logo: it looks like the Russians are losing the actual combat, have stalled out, and all their forces are about to defect.

    It's been like that since the start of the invasion

      Pure propaganda and western cope to be honest, not that it's a good thing they Russia is invading, but they're clearly "winning"

        The alternative is admitting Ukraine is getting rolled up and that after fanning the flames for years NATO ultimately hung them out to dry. In that context, being like "Look, we were right! We told you it was going to happen." is kind of eclipsed by the results.

        To be clear, I have no clue what the current situation is on the ground, but considering the sheer disparity in forces I'd imagine Putin's position will only advance until Zelinsky comes to grips with the new reality and discusses terms.

        It really sucks. I work with a few Ukrainian guys. One of them came in today to relieve the first shift and he had the look on his face like he spent the better half of the morning crying. :doomer:

            Berlin will hold! The Russians are losing! They cannot overpower the mighty Volkssturm! We'll drive them all the way back to Moscow! We will not tolerate any defeatism!

          What is morbidly funny is that over the past decades the intellectually and economically incestuous western “elites” have fully succeeded in propagandizing and deluding themselves. What used to be performance now became their “reality.” What happens when you have a bunch of highly “credentialed” people who don’t know shit and haven’t experienced shit.

        I pulled up F5 O'Clock (well, their dev site) for the first time in years just to see if the story about Zelensky offering up a cease-fire was being reported anywhere else, and holy shit, it's so much State Department/RussiaGate cope.

      All comments I heard on tv (western europe) say pretty much the opposite. That the Russian offensive pretty much met almost all of its objectives. This included generals that were commenting
