working awfully hard to sell your opinion. that's not how GAW works. instead we provide sauce, maybe offer theories and then let others use discernment
And there lies the problem. Notice what happens if I speak out against Russia in any way? I get down-voted and shouted down. Truth be told I'm surprised some mod hasn't banned me. I just got fed up with holding my tongue. This boards has seriously lost its way. Tons of people drunk the Russia cool-aide and will not even entertain the idea that Russia is not a white-hat operation or that they could possibly be losing the war in any way.
(The two are not mutually exclusive BTW. Russia could be a white-hat and still be losing. There is no rule that says the good guys always win, and bad guys always lose. Personally I lean maybe 60% Russia is bad 40% its good. I'm on the fence mostly. I know for sure the globalists are bad and I know for sure Zelinsky is a globalist puppet. But see I just showed doubt is Russia's purity thus I must be shunned as a non-believer. Purged as a heretic. Facts, theories, and sauce my ass.)
Every fact put forward is instantly dismissed as globalist disinformation. It doesn't even matter if RUSSIA ITSELF CONFIRMS IT LATER. Just today they admitted to their loses... but yeah nothing to see here. They aren't losing at all. They can just retake all that and it will cost them nothing. (I'm rolling my eyes right now)
I stated clearly when I was giving an opinion and I backed it up with my reasons and facts. I wasn't treated with counter facts. I was told my facts were propaganda because they came from Reddit. So no truth can ever be posted on Reddit... got it. I was then given counter facts strait from the fucking Russian ministry of truth that they then recanted days later. Seriously...?
I based my opinions on things that IMMUTABLE. A video of a guy raising a flag that everyone agrees is in a town Russia used to hold. Multiple videos that clearly show abandoned Russian equipment not scuttled and not booby trapped. Some of the videos showed city streets everyone agrees are formerly Russian controlled towns as well, see flag videos(same towns). You can't just magically fake all those videos. Too many smart people on the net would dissect them and discover they were fakes. Ukraine learned that lesson the hard way with the ghost of Kyiv bullshit footage from a video game. They're clearly REAL.
I watched a video today that was unconfirmed propaganda but it explained all of the things I couldn't quite understand. The commenter said their were reports in Izium etc that Russian troops were so panicked to run away and when they drove in vehicle columns out of town they were hit with artillery and slaughtered. So they abandoned their vehicles and ran away on foot. The supposed reason the Ukrainian attack has slowed down is because they are now following those soldiers who are on foot and they don't want to attack them because they might turn around and actually fight. They would rather those panicked soldiers reach the next town and panic the next set of soldiers so they run away too leaving even more equipment.
Ridiculous right? Sounds like a made up story, but what if its true? What if the combinations or poor moral, lack of leadership, and lack of training has caused exactly that to happen. The commander gets in his SUV and flees because he's not stupid and doesn't want to die. Then the troops panic and take off. It happened in Iraq why not to Russian troops?
If true it REALLY doesn't look good for Russia.
Anyway it doesn't change my main point. I'm trying to call strikes and balls with a little flair. Everyone on this board is rooting for Russia to win and doesn't like being told their team isn't winning. That is a perfect recipe for a metric crap-ton of confirmation bias. Its kind of sad really.
So to you and all the people downvoting me... check yourself.
