    1. @Bad Noxin I am going to explain this again for you because you missed something. I am not a soldier in this war or anyone who has any influence over this war and neither are you. You and I are not involved in this war in any way. This is not my war or yours. I hope that was clear enough for you. If you are not directly involved with this war, you do not need to know everything. I am not directly involved with this war and I do not need to know everything. It is not safe for the soldiers, or the people giving the orders, to tell people like you and me everything at this time. If you want to know where soldiers are located so that you can use your power of authority over the opposing army to go fight and kill them that’s on you. They are not going to give you that information. If you do not have that power or influence, or have that intention, that means you are not important enough to know anything other than what is safe to tell the public. You will not have access to ANY information unless it is safe to tell the public and doesn’t endanger soldiers or leaders on either side. If you, the general public, can gain access to the information that means the opposition can to. It also means the opposition already knows that information and knew it long before either you or I got to see or hear about it. I hope that was clear enough for you to understand. You are just not that important and neither am I.

    2. @electric fil you are not important enough to know about the finer details of the war at this time and neither am I. Being told that aide is being sent in a total sum amount is plenty. Nobody in their right mind would disclose to the public what exact weapons, armor, or vehicles etc are being used and which exact location(s) they’re being sent to. That information is on a need to know basis between the people directly involved in that transaction. You’re not the only one watching social media or news in the US and other countries. Nobody in their right mind would disclose that information like that because the enemy can also see that information if the general public can see it. They will be able to form a counter strategy easier if they know those exact details. That would be terrible. I don’t see how you guys can possibly not understand that or how it would put people’s lives in danger.

    3. @DiscoChixify no need to explain anything to me. You’re masters won’t be angry with you because you’ve done nothing wrong. I’m sure you’re still a good lemming in their eyes😉👌

    4. @Bad Noxin I don’t have any masters. What makes you assume I do? Why do people like you always assume there’s some kind of conspiracy just because you’re not important enough to know everything that’s going on? You’re not that important, and we don’t live in some kind of movie. This is reality and the simplest answer is usually the right one. Stop over complicating things that aren’t even that complicated to begin with.

    1. @Rico Comedy the combat intensity around Kherson is and was very low. Company scale. Closing the severodonetsk-lysychansk salient required the fording of a heavily contested major river and combat missions involving thousands of soldiers. The Russians being flexible around Kherson is completely irrelevant to judging the state of the front. Evaluating progress by “% gain” is daft.

    1. Ukraine never stood a chance. Russia is ONLY number 2 to the US for a reason… The US knew Ukraine couldn’t win but found a great place to shed off an old surplus of weapons. Well, Ukraine may be destroyed/divided but NATO got 2 new allies, so I’m sure the US is happy.

  1. Yep people seem to think we defeated one of the strongest armies by ourselves, fact is the French and Spanish not only financed the revolution but also trained forces.

    1. Exactly. I’ve gotten into rather heated verbal altercations with some of my closest friends & family, after reminding them of that. They werent having it / didn’t want to hear it, but its entirely true.

  2. Ukrainian troops by CNN.
    June: got evacuated
    July: withdrew
    August: run for their lives?

    1. I can already imagine Putin at the Duma walking zelensky on all fours with a leash, that’ll be the Kremlin’s clown by the end of the year

    2. @The Asian Boy Putin needs a new excuse for the sheeple to do that, and that takes time to build

  3. The aliens must be helping the Russians.

    For a troop that have low fighting morale, cannot fight, ran out of tanks, ran out of missiles, ran out of food, ran out of ammo, and ran out of everything; it must be so unexpected they can suddenly routed the all saints enemy to a forced retreat.

  4. I said how this would end when I was called a Russian bot. And I say it now: You don’t humiliate soldiers for not being slaughtered. They (wrong or right) fought for their country.

    1. @GeoEconomics as a Ukrainian, we fight for OUR freedom and life which are ruined by Russia. I used to speak Russian, but after 24.02 their country, language and culture are dead to me. As to most Ukrainians. So please don’t tell people what is going on between Ukraine and Russia. We are not brotherly nations. All we feel towards each other is hate.

    2. @Guv09 yio you are so right! And How many assassination attempts is this guy going to beat and it’s from his own people.

    1. @Andrew Mitchell you’re wrong bro the russians were bombarding the location of the enemy

    2. @Andrew Mitchell the azov nazis were using civilians as human shields lmao what don’t you understand

  5. Russia busy reshaping a whole map while we’re here worried about pronouns. I guess history didn’t teach us anything.

    1. Also worried about getting shot. But yes, I am ready to join the fight and call Putin’s bluff.

  6. I thought the Russian’s were running out of weapons and Soldiers, how did they manage to survive?

    1. They learned from their initial mistakes and are now concentrating on just taking control of Donbas. Its easier logistically as well because this area is closer to the Russia and easier to resupply.

  7. *So in 4 months Russia has taken: Izyum, Luhansk, Donestsk, Bazaliivka, Kherson, Melitopol, Berdyans’k, Mariupol, Kreminna, Rubezhniy, Bilohorivka, Popasnaya, Lyman, Severodonetsk, Lysychansk and next…?. That is a HUGE territory at the south-east not going back to Ukraine.*

  8. Ukraine can’t match the weapons of Russiaian also with western nations supplies and it’s a waste of thought that west will supply expensive long range in larger numbers, they’ll supply only in limited numbers

  9. Excuse me they did not withdraw they merely regrouped for their final assault on Russia😂🤭😎

  10. Send them all the weapons, all the artillery etc. and then focus on your own things. It’s not that complicated. You don’t need to fight this war, but it is very important that your favored side wins!

  11. There is one mistake in Ukraine’s argument. If it ups the fire-power, I am sure Russia will also increase the pressure! Therefore, it is not that easy. The pentagon is wise in the way they chose to avoid…. a deadly war.
