Ukraine has now taken more land in three weeks than Russia has all of last winter.

@BritishFailedAesthetic So you have no idea how many Ukrainian troops are being slaughtered for a silly bit of politics orchestrated out of Washington?

@hippyjoe1955 They are brave soldiers fighting the invasion from a madman.

Both Ukrainian and Russian parents have to bury their own children, all thanks to the madman Putin.

@BritishFailedAesthetic The insane one is the guy who plays the piano with his dick. Had Russia not taken eastern Ukraine Ukraine would have attacked Russia. Putin is not his own man. He is owned by others and is doing their bidding. Sadly the Ukrainian soldiers are paying for the madness with their lives. A very silly war with very serious consequences.

@BritishFailedAesthetic Latest reports are that Ukraine is about to surrender or at minimum enter into peace negotiations with Russia with the US/NATO on side. Ukraine is being beaten like a rented mule and no one can take joy in that. Such mindless slaughter to retake territory that does not want to be under Ukraine authority.... Time to end the war and start rebuilding. I say this with a Ukrainian refugee sitting at my dining room table eating the lunch his wife made for him this morning. He phoned his mother in Germany and she said that she simply wants the war to be over. They are all so war weary and worried about friends and family still in Ukraine. Even those that are not in Ukraine are scattered to the 4 corners of the earth. Some in Canada some in the US some in Poland some in Germany and a few still in Ukraine. So very very sad.

@ElwoodBlues ever heard of a feint? Obviously not. By moving toward the retreating from Kiev Russia froze half of the Ukrainian forces. They had to stay near Kiev because Russia could invade.

@hippyjoe1955 a Russian feint where dozens of Russian tanks are destroyed in each of the first days? [i]RIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT[/i]

Russia is now sending 70 year old tanks to Ukraine because all of their more modern ones were sitting ducks to modern wire guided missiles.

@ElwoodBlues you have never been in the military and it shows too funny.

@hippyjoe1955 Translation: you can't counter my arguments so you throw insults instead. SAD!!

Yes we know the Russian strategy - three days to take Kiev. 16 months later, we can all agree the strategy was a miserable failure.

@ElwoodBlues Translation. You won a Darwin Award because of your lack of discernment.

@ElwoodBlues So you lack any military insight and you think I want to discuss the military and military tactics with you? Too Funny!!!! Go wait for your Darwin. I have better things to do.

@ElwoodBlues Repeating your brain cramps doesn't make them facts. Russia is winning the war very handily and Ukraine is suffering a terrible defeat. The US /NATO are even starting to have discussions on how they can get out of this Tar Baby war that they started. The defeat of Ukraine will be most felt in Ukraine as they have lost millions of people from war or people leaving Ukraine in droves. From a population of about 37 million to a population of under17 million. Ukraine is a destroyed nation and no one should take any joy in that.

@hippyjoe1955 [quote] Russia is winning the war very handily[/quote] Russia is stuck in a quagmire. Russia has lost nearly half their military capacity in a period of a year. Russia may eventually "win" but at a terrible cost. Putin lied to his people about the reasons for the war, and he's lied about the costs of the war. History will remember him for his massive mistake.

@ElwoodBlues Where are you getting your information from? Serious question. CNN? Russia is playing rope a dope with Ukraine and slaughtering Ukrainians in the thousands. The American IFV and German tanks are being turned into scrap iron all over eastern Ukraine. When Ukraine makes an advance Russia uses it as target practice. The Russians force the Ukrainians into a cauldron and The Ukrainians can't go back because Russia has mined the area behind them. The kill rate is about 10 Ukrainian dead for every 1 Russian.dead. Brutal what is happening

@hippyjoe1955 Serious answer - Multiple sources; BBC, NY Times, WashPost, Economist, even Fox News. Not TV though; print.

Now that I've answered seriously, I have the same serious question for you. Where are you getting your information from? You're afraid to reveal your source, aren't you, [b]LOL!!![/b]

@ElwoodBlues BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! Those sources are all so biased as to be a joke. No one believes anything they publish. There are both Russian and Ukrainian vloggers that have much better information than your sources. There are other international sources of information from neutral countries who say what I said. No wonder you are waiting for your Darwin. You failed to discern the agenda behind your sources.

@hippyjoe1955 You ducked the question, just as I predicted.

Now that I've answered seriously, I have the same serious question for you. Where are you getting your information from? You're afraid to reveal your source, aren't you, [b]LOL!!![/b]

@ElwoodBlues I didn't duck any question. I told you that I prefer raw information than the carefully manipulated stuff you fall for all the time. The simple facts are that since the Ukrainian counter attacks began 13,000 Ukrainians have died. That is horrendous. Russia has lost over 1300 dead. That is terrible. Time for peace. Sadly with the US and NATO running Ukraine that isn't going to happen. I don't suppose you noticed today how NATO and the US are warning against underestimating Russia. You likely didn't hear about the major hotel housing US NATO troops were wiped out or how US Blackhawks transponders turned off raced to get the injured Americans out of Ukraine. Such a sad and useless loss of life. Sad that the US is the bad guy in this conflict. BTW did you know about the peace agreement Russia and Ukraine initialed almost as soon as the war started? The US/NATO vetoed it. Such a sad sad war. Shame on the US and its evil minions.

@hippyjoe1955 I asked you for sources and you gave me handwaving.

@ElwoodBlues And I gave you a very broad hint where to look. Do your own research. Having won a Darwin for your silly support of official information you fall for it again? Really? Have you learned nothing?
