Im saying that account, isn't run by a former 3 star general, but run by Russian intelligence, with the goal of sowing their propaganda. That the only reason you and others even think Russia has any right to do what its been doing, is due to channels like this one.
Russia is involved in a disinformation campaign, and with X selling checkmarks, rather than verifying peoples identity, the situation is ripe for fooling folks.
And of course I understand US does similar/same. It doesn't change the fact that you are actively choosing to buy into the narrative of the Kremlin.
Why is dementia Joe's handlers trying to escalate this shit show right before losing control? We all know that a cease fire will be brokered by Trump if we can get there.
A cease fire will cede land, which ukraine doesn't want to do. The idea that soverign countries shouldn't defend their boarders is pretty ridiculous. The idea that the people in the boarderlands 'identify as russian' is a made up propaganda point. If you wanna be Russian, walk the 30 miles to become one.
This is talking about a unilateral attack from the US on Iran. We haven't attacked Russia. So... is this your first proxy war?
lol yes and Putin has continually won every election for two decade while jailing political opponents.
Just like Joe won in 2020 and tried to jail Trump.
jfc, Trump actively committed crimes.
Also, Putin murdered his opponents as well. Also, if you are cool with Putin then you are good with whatever fantasy you've made up in your head about Joe.
I’d rather lose land than land and people.
Ukraine has every right to fight Russia, but they have to be realistic about what they can actually achieve. The American defense industry may benefit from dumping tens billions of dollars into this mess; the Ukrainian people sure as hell don’t.
You could argue that the people of Donetsk and Luhansk seceded and went to war to do just that, and Kyiv didn’t acquiesce. People in Crimea weren’t speaking Ukrainian either.
Lmao at "actively committed crimes." You have a double digit IQ if you think any of these lawfare attempts were not banana-republic style political persecution to take him off the ballot. I will not be shocked if there is a third attempt on his life before the end of the year.
Showing your lib stripes. Seeking to suppress any information that you are not in agreement with. We are all adults and can handle some propaganda from both sides. The truth is somewhere in the middle.
This man is on the ground over there and telling the truth imo.
So a sovereign nation is invaded and you say the truth is somewhere in the middle. Ok buddy. You don't seem to be having an easy time understanding geopolitics.

This fall has been grim for Ukraine. According to our assessment, between 1 September and 30 November, the Russians captured over 1600 km2 in Ukraine, and retook roughly 500 km2 in Kursk. The rate of advance accelerated every month, despite the Russians suffering heavy losses. 1/
Already at the end of the summer, the situation seemed to be developing in a worrying direction. Especially in August, the Russian gains were relatively large, and it did not seem like the Ukrainian offensive in Kursk would significantly slow down the Russians. 2/
During the fall, while making progress in Ukraine, Russia also conducted several counterattacks in Kursk. Ukraine lost the western flank of the salient, while also losing positions in the east. Between September and November, Ukraine didn’t advance significantly in the area. 3/
Main focus of the Russian offensive this fall has been the area of Pokrovsk and Kurakhove. In November, after the loss of Vuhledar, Russians also advanced quickly to Velyka Novosilka. Currently, most of the changes on the frontline are happening on a 140 km section. 4/
Russians are pressuring elsewhere too, but have not gained much in the big picture. Ukrainians held the Toretsk-Chasiv Yar-Siversk direction well, denying Russians of any greater progress in northern Donetsk. The front in Zaporizhzhia didn’t see much change during this fall. 5/
In Kupiansk, the Russians managed to advance to the Oskil river, cutting the Ukrainian presence there in half. However, this can be considered a secondary front without very significant opportunities for the Russians, regardless of whether they are on the river or not. 6/
What can we expect from the rest of the year? Based on the current trends, the Russians can likely continue their offensive in the Pokrovsk-Velyka Novosilka direction. It can be expected that additional 500-700 km2 of Ukrainian land will be occupied. 7/
Russia will likely try to continue advancing in Kursk too, but concentrating very heavy forces there wouldn’t be the best usage of their troops. However, the same applies to Ukraine. Reserves would be needed elsewhere, as the eastern front has had constant setbacks for months. 8/
I’ve been posting a bit less recently, as I’ve been very busy with work. Various articles, reports, lectures, presentations, interviews, TV appearances, a podcast series and my upcoming non-fiction book military history have taken most of my time. 9/
However, we at @Black_BirdGroup still follow the situation closely. You can also find me and us from the other place with bluer skies, if that’s your preferred platform nowadays.10/10
