        The article makes exactly the same arguments, russian trolls are making. I don’t know the publication, but this article for sure is not quality content that would bring any value. Its just regurgitation of Russian trolls.

          It’s as if the arguments “Russian trolls” as you call them have been making are the actual reality, while you’ve been guzzling propaganda out of a fire hose. The fact that you still can’t understand that Ukraine lost the war highlights just what an utter imbecile you really are.

            This has been my perception all along. I don’t really get how anybody thought Ukraine could win. In expressing this opinion, you’re labeled as a Putin puppet. You don’t have to be pro-Russia to say that they are winning.

            I’m hopeful that the war comes to a close soon though.

              Anybody capable of thinking about the situation objectively understood this from the start. As you say though, most people are unable to have a rational discussion on the subject because they’re emotionally invested in the war.

        1. That review is for news articles. If you look at the URL, it very clearly includes “blog”, so this is an opinion piece, which I take with the same amount of consideration as Letters To The Editor.

        2. Richard Nixon? You can’t expect us to trust anything associated with a ratfucker.

          Uh… yes. It’s an opinion piece. You can disagree with the analysis from an opinion piece, but I linked mediabias checker to show it’s not just some random blog with no credibility that would just post an “AI Russian propaganda article”

          (Also quiz for the class: who founded the EPA lmao)

            That would require an actual analyses existing instead of just a strong opinion with no evidence.

              Did we read the same article? It’s not super deep analysis (what do you expect from libertarians) but he’s backing up his claims with actual reporting if you follow the hyper links.

                Did you read the title of this article? Brilliantly loaded with two Russian taking points : US being the reason for the war and that Ukraine cannot win and should not even fight. No one that cares about credibility would write that.

    What a joke. If Russia could have successfully invaded Ukraine, they would have done it by now.

    The fact is that Putin’s invasion of Ukraine has already catastrophically failed and now Russia is caught deep in a quagmire of death and failure that will set the Russian society and economy back by decades more than it already was. I have no doubt that Russian autocrats and oligarchs will spend the foreseeable future diverting, deflecting, distracting and generally looking for every pathetic way they can to blame the United States for the situation that they find themselves in, but objective truth will always remain: Russia mistakenly invaded a country that they believed that they could take over using a combination of hard and soft power and now they are only beginning to pay the price.

    Giving guns to our allies fighting for their freedom in Ukraine and watching the Russians throw their own people into a meat grinder for no reason other than for Putin to save face is some of the best military money that the US has ever spent. Dramatically worse even than the Americans wars in Vietnam and Iraq/Afghanistan, Putin is bleeding Russia dry of lives, money, equipment, brains and talent and so far they have absolutely nothing to show for it.
