As long as commentators in the west preface with 'if Putin wins', they disclose how much they still believe in their own delusional propaganda. There are only two possible scenarios - Russia wins and

EU countries will do it, regardless of Trump. Whether it's wasteful or not is not important. The expenditure will simply be necessary if Putin wins. Several countries are already thinking about r

Looks like the ATACMS strike I posted recently was just the tip of a massive strike on Russia, featuring 200 drones as well, attacking 12 regions, including those highlighted on the map below.

Hardly unbiased though. Same old same old Russia's doomed that we've seen the past couple years. I'll believe it if it happens.

 

Various people? Nothing to say who they are and why they hold their opinions. LOL.

What makes you say Starr is biased? I did a quick look at his background and I'm not seeing anything suggesting a particular bias.

 

Also, what do you mean, "Nothing to say who they are"? He names every single person he quotes in the article.

 

Here's a list of just some of them so named, and this is from only the first few paragraphs. 

 

Official Russian war correspondent, Evgeni Lisitsyn

Yuri Devich, Duma member

Andrei Kartapolov, chairman of the Duma Committee on Defense

Commentator Sergei Mardan

Loyal ally of Vladimir Putin, Oleg Matveevich

Moscow tele-journalists, Olga Skabeeva

 

All in all, he quotes from a dozen or more prominent people located inside Russia. 

 

As for for why they hold the opinions they do, I would say their words are self-explanatory.

You said it yourself-served 3 presidents. Hardly going to be going against the required bias IMO.

 

As for the now named ( thank you ) people, seems suspicious that a "loyal ally of Putin" and other top ranked officials would be publishing things not supporting Putin's war, and living to tell the tale.

I'll withhold my agreement till more than that comes to light.

I did say "birds of the feather flock together"  1 is a dictator the other is a "want" be dictator they both want to grab land from others, same or similar to what Chinese Xi is doing in SCS, he's trying to grab any rock sticking out of the water claiming they are/belong to the  Chinese/China

Russia compares Trump’s Greenland plan to the war in Ukraine

Next target- Kiev, perhaps.

Kiev has been targeted, mostly apartment buildings and shopping centers.

Is Ukraine not supposed to defend itself?

This is called fighting back against an aggressor trying to invade your country

I have said it previously, and I say it again after the latest blasts in tatarstan, this war is creating a terrible environmental catastrophe. Both Russia and Ukraine were never much for environmental responsibility, but the targeting of chemical and petroleum facilities is going to  leave a legacy of environmental tragedy and the birth defects that will accompany it.

Russia isn't trying to invade Ukraine. It HAS invaded Ukraine and it's winning.
