I remember a time when Russia was an adversary, but still mostly known for the magnificent literature and other art they created. Putin may have forever stained that legacy. And for what? What a shame this war is.

Regardless of how the war in Ukraine turns out, history will record Putin as the single worst tactician in military history. Without a doubt.
oh its one for the ages, this war & The Ukrainians defence will be taught in military schools for years, Putin has not only secured himself a place amongst other tyrants and stains on humanity but he's singlehandedly destroyed the Russian army myth.. that they where an actual capable army.. i really hope to fucking Jesus it keeps that cunt awake at night knowing his and his countries reputation has been irrevocably ruined by his actions

Why is yt showing me all these red pilled tv videos with a lot of views where these war specialists say that ukraine is losing etc.??

I never even searched anything war related on yt, i just watch the news and follow this topic for war news.

Is the situation this bad? This topic seems pretty positive...

Think about it logically, Russia before this cluster fuck was considered the 2nd "best" army, it has made absolutely no territorial gains worth a shit in 6mths and keeps calling up old men and throwing them into old tanks and getting nowhere, you'll see how bad it really is when the Ukrainians start to roll

Have you been watching things like Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, Marjory Taylor Green?

So the news right now is that through the winter the frontlines did barely move. Russia tried to move towards lyman (which failed), tried to take over some villages on key defensive locations (also failed). They did have some successes on Bakhmut - the city is surrounded on 3 sides and they control a chunk of the city. These are the news.


However, on youtube between:

a) tankies who hate america and acritically support anyone who's on the other side
b) rightoids who have a love affair with putin because he's a tyrannical strongman with conservative social values
c) actual russian propaganda

You've got a lot of junk on YT. These are some better channels:

Perun: long form videos, aprox once a week (he also has a gaming channel, so don't confuse the two)
Anders Puck: actual military analyst, doesn't post updates daily but when does it's well worth watching
Reporting From Ukraine (channel name RFU): posts daily, he's very pro ukrainian but reports russian succeses as well

Been lurking a bit on different telegram channels.

So many dead. It is really unreal.

I feel the same.

To me what makes it surreal is that it's happening on European soil. Poland, Hungary have borders with Ukraine. Germany and France are within a day of driving to Ukraine.

Yeah, I could drive to Kyiv in 20 hours.

It annoys me that many people that I talk to IRL don't give a shit about this war, its like its on the other side of the world for them.
In the beginning when all this was kicking off and it was looking like Russia would win easily, and Putin was threatening my country.. that feeling was really surreal.

Glad they are loosing badly now. We have a lot to thank Ukraine for. Let's never forget it, at least I won't.

Absolutely. I couldn't agree more with you.

As much as I think that Erdogan is a complete piece of shit, it's probably better to keep the country that controls the Dardanelles and Bosporus on our side.
Turks needs to wake the fuck up and watch they don't sleep walk into becoming the next Russia/Iran, Erdogan is a 2 bit thug looking to become the next Muslim Dictator to join the ranks off "how much can I fuck up a country" great islamic leaders which is such a pity as I really like the Turks, great people but fuck me they are just passively walking into a future shitstorm like the Russians walking towards Baktmud

I'm in the US and it pisses ME off that people act like it's on the other side of the world, or doesn't matter.

We are getting the bargain of the millennium supporting Ukraine while they do all the work ruining Russia. Our interests are served for pennies on the dollar while their boys get blown up. And people don't even see the urgency or even appreciate it.

The endless parade of absolute cunts moaning that their money is being spent on helping stop genocide in Ukraine is indicative of how selfish and entitled so many have become.

Most selfish and entitled people love getting deals for pennies on the dollar.

Unless you are selfish, entitled and stupid.

Last time i see foreigners who says in Russia are all good. Who is this those peoples? For example


Useful idiots. The soviets used to make these type of videos during the height of the USSR to show how well-stocked their shops were. Even Pyongyang has nice stores for those allowed to live there. Russia exists to enrich the residents of Moscow and St Petersburg. Those regions will be the last to suffer any want.
