You yourself are certainly easily enough to detect with that username, lol.

Other than that, FlyingSquid, mostly because of the specific shade of color on his or her avatar. The fact that I agree with 98% of what he or she posts probably helps as well.

I don't always agree with your statements but god damn if you didn't nail this one.

Him being a pretty smart guy overall surely has at least some sort of continuity planned.

"Grok" really says everything that needs to be said about this farce, isn't it?

You want me to be civil towards Alex Jones and Tucker Carlson et. al.?

I say fuck that, and fuck them.

The only media you seem to consume is Fox News and whatever that fat fucks podcast is called. They think they're smart, too, just like you.

My pleasure. The great thing about The Guardian especially, besides the fact that they do try to cover the negative sides as well, is that they tend to separate ongoing events into their own pages. You can bookmark only Ukraine and check what has happened recently easily.

Granted, these days it's mostly whatever bombings Russia has done during the night sprinkled with whatever counter attacks Ukraine manages, but still. In my opinion they've been quite quick with the updates when something major has happened. They covered Prigozhin's road trip to Moscow last year very well, almost minute to minute.

That's true, I'm sorry.

There were some twitter accounts worth following, but after what happened over there I don't know if any of them are still active. Likewise there were some subs in Reddit that had decent amounts of factual posts, but I don't know about them anymore either.

Other than that, what's wrong with piecing together news from the most reliable sources? The Guardian has excellent coverage of the war. Anything that goes on for this long will obviously suffer from some story-fatigue but they're at least more trustworthy than anything from Russia.

It's called fog of war for a reason though, you're never going to get 100% unbiased and correct information about ongoing battles, for opsec reasons if nothing else.

The only relevant answer is that nobody knows for sure. Ukraine is doing their very best but they're fighting not only Russia but also the combined effort of all the fuckwits that support Russia materially, i.e. China, Iran and North Korea etc. it's not exactly an easy position to be in, even if their tech is of lower quality than what we have in the west they're also able to churn out a lot more, and that shows.

On the other hand, it's pretty telling that Russia is resorting to what amounts to long range terror bombing in between human wave attacks. They used up a lot of manpower last summer, and it can't be easy to replace those losses. They do have access to a lot more human resources, but again, of dubious quality.

Russia is certainty hoping for another 4 years of the orange fuckwit in the White House though. That's where the real danger is. If that happens all bets are off.

You're kinda outing yourself as the russian troll that you are with this shit. It didn't take all that long in the end.

Now fuck off, vatnik.

Ah, I get it. Your problem with me is that you actually like fascists. I'm sorry, I should've realized.

Why didn't you just say so? You scared of admitting the truth?
