War in Ukraine

Time to bury another lie …

After three months of intense propaganda the CIA decided to bury a Ukrainian disinformation scheme and announced to 'pull North Korean troops off the front line'.

Well. How did North Koreans get to the front line in the first place?

I think the characterization of these volunteers as “mercenaries” (which is a pejorative term for a private contract security forces) is false and indicates a pro-Russian bias in the source. Ukraine’s foreign volunteers are integrated into their armed forces and are subject to Ukrainian discipline. That is not a mercenary. In fairness, Russia has a large number of foreign troops in its ranks as well, and I would not characterize them as mercenaries, either, since they are in the Russian armed forces. Now the Wagner Group, which is largely no longer fighting in Ukraine, certainly could be characterized as private contract security forces, or the pejorative “mercenaries” if you prefer, since they do serve a disgusting, kleptocratic, barbarous regime.

 

Do tell ?

 

So the guy who was just confirmed as SOS by a 99-0 vote in the Senate said what I've been saying for the past two years. I'll take it.

 

Haven't checked this thread in a while. The war's over, right? Trump ended it in a day like he said he would.

 

Rubio is a clown with no clue. Kiev is generally winning, and has been for most of the last three years. Not by any huge margin, but they have done very well slowing down the Russian advances and slowly draining the Russian military of equipment and manpower. They have fought the smarter battle and done a better job of keeping their troops alive. Ukraine has better technology, better leadership, and more motivation to fight for their land and their freedom. Russia hasn't even put up much of a fight for its own land in Kursk, which Ukraine has occupied for months. Russia's economy looks likely to collapse in the next 12-18 months.
