Anyone else just a LITTLE skeptical of some of the russia/ukraine news?

It all just sounds a little too good to be true. I keep seeing headlines and articles like:

- Russia hates gays, but ukraine is tracking their troops with grindr data
- Russian convoy runs out of gas on the way to ukraine
- Zelensky uses his sixth sense and jumps out of the way just as an enemy sniper bullet was about to kill him
- Ukrainian squad of 3 men destroy entire russian batallian
- Ukrainans stealing and selling russian tanks on ebay
- Sanctions working better than expected, russian economy is destroyed and half their population is now starving
- Russia is experiencing inflation that rivals venezuela
- Russia billionaires lose everything as currency collapses

Some of those (but only a few) I made up lol. but still. I wasn't born yesterday and I don't trust anything I'm hearing about this conflict

The trick if you haven't figured it out is to be mad at Putin and not the leaders who got us here in the first place.

I can see that. And then the liberals try to pin putin with republicans, so now you are commanded to be mad at repubs. Now go vote democrat this midterm


Another theory is maybe ukraine is actually getting completely slaughtered by russian forces, but they're putting up a mirage the opposite is happening. So other countries will stay out of the way if we think they don't need help

The west gambled the NATO thing on Ukraine and lost. Should have never got involved or sped up the process to have them join. Let's not forget the reason Ukraine wasn't admitted was because there was too much corruption.

We are supposed to condemn Russia for invading ukraine, a puppet state used as a springboard for Western NATO countries to threaten Russia, a country that was formerly Russia whose people speak Russian

Meanwhile just in the last 20 years USA has invaded, destablized, installed puppet regimes or attempted to in multiple different countries, not to mention USA's undying support for the terrorist state of Israel, whose borders are ever expanding, The USA sends them billions in cash and weapons to kill Palestinian children daily but the media is silent on.

the US is the great satan

I remember being lied into supporting enough invasions that I have a hard time believing anything right now.

I believed the Iraqi troops were stripping premature babies and dumping them on the floor to steal the incubators. Turned out that was the Kuwaiti Ambassadors daughter reading a script full of made up chit with a fake name.

I believed when Robert Mueller got up in front of congress telling us that Iraq was going to strike with WMDs. I remember Colin Powell reading a bunch of intelligence from a 'dossier' that turned out to be a bunch of full of make up chit to prop him up.

I don't believe Putin is de-nazifying Ukraine. I also don't believe he's gone mad half the Ukrainian hero stories being pushed so hard either. Its reasonable to assume the western power bloc has tried to turn Ukraine into a security threat for Russia and Putin was forced to respond, but he misjudged the Ukrainian and international reaction.

I also think this might be the most dangerous time we've lived in for the last 60 years, and I wished there were some news sources I actually trusted.

There is a zero percent chance Ukraine is even kinda holding their ground

Any zone Russia wants to capture will be captured and any Ukrainian resisting will be obliterated.

I’m not even supporting russia either, but they are right next to russia.

It’s like if USA wanted to take Canada, we couldn’t do chit about it.

pretty much, its over for ukraincels


Despite all of the nonsense coming out of the American media machine, every bit of reliable information we’re able to gather indicates that the war is going very well for Russia, and that their strategic goals will be accomplished soon.

The goals were:

To completely take the eastern and southern part of the country, which was already begging to be annexed
To take Kharkiv
To take Kiev
The first thing is pretty much done, and only the second thing has really hit a snag. The third thing hasn’t really gotten started yet, as the city is still in the process of being surrounded.

Here’s a map (as up to date as possible), for reference:



resistance is futile

Coach Red Pill lives in Ukraine married to Ukraine girl. Says zelansky is a pos thug propped up like a dictator by the west. No better than Putin just a different flavor dictator. Starts talking about the zelensky propaganda around 55 minutes but the whole video is great.

Putin reminds me of Hilter in the German movie Downfall

Hitler was extremely delusional. He kept saying that they were winning the war.

But his genrals went to him saying that they were losing the war. In fact, Russia was entering Berlin.

But he refused to believe it.

At the end Hitler decided to kill himself instead of ending up in Russia.

It's all propaganda. fk it. Really tired of my fellow american's pretending like they even know wtfs going on, blindly supporting Ukraine because the media told you to, etc. Was talking to my family about this. The brainwashing is strong with them and they know it.

I'm more skeptical on how quickly the west/soros/Hillary/biden/EU/WEF have embraced Ukraine when they didn't give a **** before.

Anything soros touches is bad news. Ukraine's nearly immediate ascent into the EU is also off. The left hates neo nazi's but doesn't mention a single word of Ukraine's nazi history, Bandera, Nazi militants, or anything related.

Being from Latvia, I'm obviously against any Russian invasion, but nothing ever feels organic anymore. It seems like there is a lot more than simply Putin wanting to show his strength.

Sick of all these ****ing retards changing their profile pic to show support. Go suck a dick, you haven't done a god damn thing. If you want to help, send money for food, supplies, and weapons for the people on the ground.
If you are not willing to risk the unusual, you will have to settle for the ordinary

Mainstream media and the government just spent the past 2 years lying to everyone.

You'd have to be a complete and utter moron to think they wouldn't do the same again.

I don't really buy what you guys are saying.. I do agree there is propaganda and lots of room for propaganda

But this isn't like covid imo. Where they can hide and shuffle numbers behind illnesses and chit.

This is war with cities being destroyed, people being taken over and potential/ eventual change in control

That would be very hard to hide

Everything comes down to height for the misc

Crazy amount of propaganda coming out. Its literally 100% how innoncent and badass Ukraine is, wrecking Russians and how their President is fighting in the trenches one minute then doing formal speeches the next minute and giving zingy one liners.

Not one piece trying to explain why Putin is doing what he did besides "he eViL" "hEs GonE mAd"

The US/NATO/Fake News propaganda machine is full steam ahead with RUSSIA/PUTIN BAD & UKRAINE/ZELENSKYY GOOD.

Russia doesn't want a war. They're sick & tired of Zelenskyy the Jewish rat that was installed by Obama/Biden in order to destabilize the region & be pro-NATO.

Russia obviously doesn't want a NATO military/missile base right at there front door. Imagine if the roles were reversed, would the US be happy with a Russia military/missile base in Mexico? Definitely not.

Russia is not the aggressor - America, NATO, EU & Zelenskyy are. Russia is protecting itself by going into Ukraine, removing Zelenskyy (the fukn Jewish rat) from office & installing a PEACEFUL president that will continue to remain neutral.

Zelenskyy is a fukn actor. He's danced around half naked in disgusting music videos.
That's why you always see him wearing military gear, saying things like "this might be the last time you see me alive" and also "I don't need a flight out of here, I need ammunition".

Sounds like chit straight out of a fukn Terminator movie.

Fake News is claiming that Russia is spreading propaganda, but has there not been nothing but constant propaganda about how ZELENSKYY is a HERO? FEARLESS? Get fukd.

Can't wait for the Russian's to get Zelenskyy. I hope they torture him for what he's caused. Fukn rat.
