I don't know how constructive just yelling "SHILL" at someone who disagrees with you is. I'm using my eyes, consensus international reporting and the first hand accounts of my friends, colleagues and former service members who are there on the ground. Is there something I'm missing? Is Russia not retreating from the areas I mentioned? Are there not protests across Russia? Are there not lines of cars and sold out flights fleeing the country? This is all well documented. Feel free to try support your position...you don't seem to have much in the way of counterpoints....

Remind me again where in the Minsk agreement it mentions attempting (and failing) to encircle Kyiv, or shell the nuclear plants at Zaporizhzhia , or illegally abduct over 400,000 civilians including children and send them to Russia. We are against human trafficking and child trafficking here.

Buddy, the gaslighting doesn't work here. The whole world is seeing the retreats from Izium and Lyman. We see the protests in the streets of Moscow, we see the lines of cars and people fleeing conscription, we see the bodies the carnage and the abandoned military material. Even the most conservative international estimates of losses put russian casualties at 55K and X2 wounded. You should talk to your friends and family who are suffering over there. Its worse than is being officially reported.

In other news 16 new HIMARS was just sent over with warm regards from your friends at Lockheed Martin. За здоровье

To be fair, its not "the west".....no one, not even russias allies have supported or recognized the annexation.

India and China also abstained at the UN. On top of that, Russia is being pushed out of these regions and their moral and equipment are crumbling. There is a bill being voted on now to send f-16s and f-15s to the Ukraine in addition to several hundred Abrams tanks. If this package goes through I doubt Russia will even be in Crimea come next summer.

lol the Abrams is anything from inadequate, and fortunately all of Europe and NATO is united like never before against the brutal tyranny of Russia. 80,000+ Russian troops killed, the flagship of the Black Sea flag ship sunk, 2/3rds of the air force in Crimea shot down, dozens of generals eliminated and the lies of the Kremlin have been exposed for all to see. It will take Russia 20 years just to get their economy back to where it was pre-invasion, and their hollow military will never be the same.

You can thank Putin for all of this. Red October!

Nah, its 100% Russia. You can tell because they blamed Poland and the US, which is complete nonsense. No one has more proven lies than the Putin regime.

  1. Nearly no one including Russias own allies will support or acknowledge the illegal annexation, so its moot.

  2. Russia does not fully control (and is currently losing control) of the areas it is trying to claim

  3. Russia announced today it is postponing announcement of annexation due to the violent unpopularity of the recent mobilization.

Somewhat related, the US is delivering another 16 HIMARS to Ukraine this week and is considering sending over 300 recently retired USMC M1A1, M1A2 Abrams main battle tanks. We saw what our tanks can do to the T-72 in Iraq and Syria. This package alone has the potential to push the Russians back to their border. Enjoy the show!

Its obviously just another lie in the long list of propaganda coming out of Russia. And like the other lies such as their sham referendum it is being wholly ignored by the rest of the world.

More interestingly, The US embassy is calling for a full evacuation of all Americans still in Russia. Could Red October be another coup and regime change in Moscow?

To be fair, as of 9/27 they only control 50% of Donetsk, 70% of Zaporizhzhia, and are currently losing parts of Luhansk and Kherson to Ukranian counteroffensive, so they are claiming territory they don't even control.

Did anyone else see the videos on Telegram of the the assault in Kupyansk before it was taken down? 400 fresh Russian conscripts without body armor or even helmets charged the Ukrainian lines and were eliminated to the last man. Reports of Russian intelligence and military families fleeing Crimea as well.

They wouldn't....the people above are just sharing an opinion. There is no law that says a private citizen (which Trump is) has any power to get "equal time" during a congressional hearing.

One has nothing to do with the other. I live in Georgetown and saw him with my own eyes getting out of his motorcade for mass at Holy Trinity Catholic Church.

I can support Trump and still tell you what I saw with my eyes. Sorry friend, you are misinformed.

Yea sorry...Hes been in photos and videos in about and around AF1, the oval office, all of the WH, giving commencement addresses to the academy's, giving the State of the Union, giving press conferences, documented with all foreign dignitaries etc etc etc....

I don't see any evidence that he isn't POTUS, that argument just doesn't stand up.

I like it...BUT remember details are key. "US military = savior of mankind' is not the same as "military is the only way"

Q did not say "US military is the only way"

I could be reading into this too much, but Im trying make heads or tails over the military refusing to get involved even when Trump was CIC.

Ive always struggled with this drop. A few things to note, on various patriot sites and even going back to the heyday of VOAT pre 12/2020 there were posts by active duty and veterans alike all saying that there was no chance the US military was going to be involved in domestic operations or anything regarding the election up to and including martial law. Of interesting note are the text messages and emails between the Trump administration senior MIL where questions about seizing servers or voting machines was strongly rebuffed. (See the emails from joint Chiefs Gen. Mark Milley)

So this drop if credible must refer to someone else's military in a non domestic capacity. Maybe its NATO, maybe its Cuba for all we know, but my point is its vague if you don't just assume it means martial law or domestic arrests which based on the evidence it isn't

TLDR, if its not our military. its intentional misinformation or we have misinterpreted the meaning
