People like you would support Hitler, makes you go all gooey, the thought of "might". But your "might" has been shown up to be not so mighty in this case.

 

You keep going on about history, bloody stupid, the USSR is GONE, but your leader can't let go, nor can YOU............🤕 

Pot, kettle, black. Actually not. You’re a coal fired black pot, we are clean electric kettles. We aren’t idiots so that leaves…

Your usual inexplicable obsession with links. In your mind, only links Don’t you realise not everything you read on the internet is true? Have you lost the ability to analyse and think logically?

So you're admitting that no-one on this thread has said Ukraine is winning convincingly, and in fact you're the only one saying that.

Haha. I can’t say for sure that anyone said Ukraine is winning convincingly but I can say for sure that some have said that Ukraine is winning. In this game of life and death between Russia and Ukraine, is arguing over semantics of any importance when there is a Fab3000 or a cluster bomb headed towards you?

So every article from a “credible” source like BBC or CNN or Bloomberg etc etc is true? Gullibility doesn’t even begin to explain such simple mindedness.

You seem frustrated that you can't back up your claims using reputable media.

It doesn't necessarily mean the content is true, but it means they have a credible and verified source which gave them that information.

 

as for Ruzzian media, well... Russian journalists get killed and foreign journalists sent to prison and charged with "espionage". I can see how Ruzzia can consider true journalism as being espionage.

What you read in your sources is stuff that Ruzzia doesn't consider espionage.

"You are an idiot"  "You would support Hitler"  total AD HOMINEM immature emotional lashing out at someone who holds a different view than you do - it is pathetic.

Let’s face it, you do not know for a fact whether @BobBKK’s casualty figures are true or false so how can you assert that they are false? The western msm might report different figures but that does not mean those figures are correct either. 
 

You believe the sources you choose to believe, that’s your prerogative but don’t try claiming that they are the absolute truth.

 No one truly knows the figure, as you say, but some on here believe anything they are fed from MSM. It's sad the level of debate here sometimes just ad hominem attacks against anyone who wants to debate a different point of view.

I guess you mean the version of the truth that suits your narrative and bias. You are unlikely to believe anything the Chinese media reports and you definitely won’t believe anything reported by Russian and Iranian media. Similarly, the global majority treats western reports with a ton of salt.

Can you please compare western press freedom with that in china, Iran and Russia?

 What you mean is a link to a pro-ukraine source. Most links to support the obvious are censored or banned. Freedom of the press is dead.

 False equivalency. No one is saying they have a free press, but that does not mean the West has either.

What is an "approved credible source"? Is there a list?  I have posted before from solid sources, and it was deleted.  For example, Professor Mearsheimer and Professor Sachs are credible sources, as they are both professors at US universities.

Stop the baiting and get back on topic this is not about Professors economists, social media owners or pedos such as Ritter who you claimed in a previous post.

Latest developments and discussion of recent events in the Ukraine War

Hundreds, if not thousands of posts and videos on this forum alone showing Russian assets being blown up, from the Black Sea to hundreds of kms well within Russia proper, thousands of square miles of territory being recaptured, hundreds of troops being encircled and killed, practically all air defence systems destroyed, billions of dollars being poured into the effort, major Russian companies on the brink of bankruptcy, Russia’s economy on the brink of collapse, tens of thousands of sanctions, overwhelming majority cheering Ukraine on.

 

On the other hand, an occasional video by @BobBKK of a bomb dropped on some building in Ukraine…

 

If I obtained  my news from AN, not only would I think that Ukraine is winning convincingly, I would think they have already won lol.

Yeah, going by the majority posts on here, Putin will be handing over the keys to the Kremlin as soon as the Ukrainian F 16s appear over the front lines and send the orcs scurrying back to Russia, or at least those that survive.

Press freedom does not = truth. There may be truth, but it's not guaranteed.

Seems to me "news" these sad days is more opinion than reported facts.

Again with the mis-characterisations. Nobody on here has been predicting a swift Ukrainian victory and nobody (that I can recall) has talked about the F-16's as being a game changer.*

 

If you could point to where anyone has said either of those things, I'd be grateful.

 

*Indeed, I have said I think that Gripens would be a better option than F-16's.
