Ukraine’s Top Military Leadership: We Are Starting to Win, Russia Is Starting to Lose
-
I've found that Colonel Maruks Reisner provides some of the best information available on the war.
He doesn't update frequently but all his analysis are sober, detailed, and realistic. He states his pro-Western, pro-NATO, pro-Ukrainian bias clearly.
If I could sum up the general trend of his presentation it's, "The status quo favors Russia. If we don't get our heads out of our asses and step up Russia will win."

Makes sense their leaders would be so buddy-buddy with north korea.
-
You’re not looking if you see us not complaining.
-
Why?
People are proudly political here.
We also live very comfortable lives compared to the Russians. Most of us don't want to ruin that.
-
Why not support both underdog victims of a imperialist regime?
I get supporting Palestinians, but why plead the Russian cause?

New Balatro card just dropped

Because people are beginning to shut down or ask what someone else will do about this.

Also
- a good reason to fight

Of course my stance is unpopular with the left, but the left is delusional about facts. Here is an impartial opinion by a renowned liberal journalist who is beyond refute. Learn some recent history, folks. The truth is the truth, whether it responds with your world view or political belief. https://consortiumnews.com/2025/02/23/yes-ukraine-started-the-war/

The raped and butchers kids and teenagers in Bucha disagrees. You are either sorely misinformed or Russian psyops. I suspect the latter.

You cared enough to start shit and defend Russia. If you didn’t care you would’ve read and moved on. Don’t play at that bullshit.

While I agree, their margins are too thin the house and the senate hasn’t totally gone MAGA yet. They need more buffer seats and upcoming midterms are very favorable to democrats

Second this. I expected just more crazy ukrainian claims but it was actually a very grounded analysis of the situation.

Unfortunate slight difference, The US was unwilling to go full scorched earth, the potential effect of the US bomber fleet using just conventional munitions was described as having the potential to do almost as much devastation as a nuclear strike, despite the warcrimes the US still held back. I doubt Putin would bat an eye at such a policy we're simply fortunate the russian military simply isn't capable of that kind of attack.

What about it?
-
Faster than expected by whom? If you were listening to the Western media, Ukraine was about to launch a counter-offensive and regain the lost territories; not only did that not happen, they lost even more territories.
Nothing weird about someone having cancer and surviving. The weirdness is claiming Putin's had several different cancers, Parkinson disease, leprosy and would soon die, repeatedly over the years, notably in 2014, 2020 and 2022.

I do see a lot of of US people saying stuff like "all politicians are always corrupt". That's the thought Putin has been trying to actively cultivate in Russians' minds, because when people don't trust politicians in general, they won't come to think that they could vote in someone who is much less corrupt than Putin.
When people lose their trust in national politics ability to act in the best interest of their nation, they will get proud of being apolitical. After all, for them it's come to mean "not taking part in a corruption scheme".
Also... My impression is that a growing amount of people in USA are NOT living more comfortable lives than rural Russians. Living in an RV and having to work two jobs isn't really very different life from living in a dilapidated and crooked wooden house that's letting the wind in from several places. I don't know how common that is, but it seems to be an existant phenomenon. Those people do not live in a different comfort than people in the poorest regions of the Russia. Also, I've seen photos of large amounts of people living in kind of streetside villages consisting of camping tents. That is a kind of life that is less comfortable than anything I've seen during my travels in the Russia.
A much smaller share of US people live under such.circumstances than is the case in the Russia, but for those who do, I am absolutely able to fathom why any change is better for them than status quo! There's only one way to go from the rock bottom.
