So you don't have to prove that the country is or is not fighting it. I thought we had international law and all that, but it looks that if Russians claim something is true, it is true. If Russians say that a country is threatening them, it is, there's no discussing it, right? Sounds like someone here is never wrong, knows everything and does what he wants, like a bully.
Haven't you noticed the decline in support for Ukraine in the West since the counter-offensive didn't go according to plan? Or has the taste of disappointment already washed off Zelensky’s lips at the results of the NATO summit in Vilnius, which left Ukraine in limbo by canceling the NATO membership plan and offering no clear entry algorithm in return?
I have not noticed (I have noticed the opposite).
- "CNN spoke about the problems of the Armed Forces of Ukraine during the capture of Staromayorsky."
- "U.S. annoyed by Zelensky's statements and Ukraine's military decisions" - CNBC.
- "There is no breakthrough yet in Ukraine's counter-offensive" - Politico.
- "Ukraine is waiting for the Korean scenario and the freezing of the conflict, since the counteroffensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine does not give the desired results" - Die Welt
- "The New York Times writes about the "high losses" of Ukrainian troops during the offensive in the south.".
- "Biden wants to send part of the money provided for assistance to Ukraine, to armaments for Taiwan" - Financial Times.
Western press headlines in just a few days. Assess the scale of zrada and welcome to reality. The second stage of the Ukrainian counter-offensive with redoubled efforts to break through the defenses also ended in a crushing fiasco. At least according to the leading Western media that shape public opinion.
...
- F16 - Yes, delayed and that is unfortunate. But not cancelled - see, very different. Perhaps they are testing if Ukraine can do without them - a contested air space with plenty of defences is likely to end up with a few f16 down (bad for US business).
- The CNN and all other media speak of whatever they want, but the gains on the terrain are happening. Obviously, not to the pace that would end the war as soon as possible, but adequate for the purpose of demilitarising Ruzzia.
- Politico: No breaktrough - Yes, that is correct, just advancing, not breaking. Telling the truth is ok in the West, it is not related to loosing support. In fact you can interpret it as a call for stronger support to make that "breakthrough" effective.
- die welt has the same ability to predict the future as my uncle or your uncle Vania.
- High losses - Yes, telling the truth is ok in the West. When you attack, you get losses. Again, a call for more support rather than the opposite.
On the Financial Times - Ask yourself: Why does the US fuck with China right now? Could it be that they are tired of China selling weapons and overriding sanctions? From the US perspective, it is time to put some pressure on their own backyard - particularly before the talks.
