The comments in the Twitter link are an absolute look into the pure retardation that is allowed to spread by the mainstream media. Dozens of comments " I thought Russia hasn't gained an inch" " I thought Russia was losing" " Russia is losing if they have been at war for a year" etc. Send anyone of those numbnuts to the Frontline and have them shoot off a tweet about who is actually "losing" the war.
I noticed that. People are still very blue-pilled. They trust the MSM and believe they are well-informed and correct.
As much time as I spend on Telegram trying to get the other side of the story, as much as I listen to voices like Scott Ritter or Douglas McGregor, even I couldn't tell you a reasonable breakdown of killed/wounded on both sides. There's simply too much uncertainty with all of the lying that's being done by the people supplying the information.
I think it's fair for most of them not to understand. They don't understand Putin's goals so they don't know what he's trying to achieve. They don't understand the size of Ukraine or the scale of fighting, so they don't know why the lines on the map aren't moving. They aren't being told the truth about the attrition warfare strategy the Russians are employing. They're not in a position to understand. They're being deliberately lied to in order for the powers that be to justify the continued bleeding of the collective West's military strength and the theft of the financial aid being sent.
Perhaps some will wake up as Russia starts advancing, but I still think many are listening to the official party line that everything will change once Ukraine gets all of these new wonder weapons and uber soldiers being trained now in the West. Just wait til spring or summer. This war will go on for decades. That's what the Pentagon is planning for right now. Putin knows it and that's why he's moving very prudently. Personally, I wish he'd strike hard and fast and cut the head off the snake and force this war to a quick conclusion, but it's risky and the Russians seem to be very cautious still and respectful of NATO's abilities.

They obviously don't watch nearly enough Intel Slava Z.
Donbass Devushka on telegram has more of the like kind reports to Intel Slava Z.
