Russia

How this works:

Cheerful will regurgitate Kremlin talking points and pieces of propaganda one by one. Gets exhausted, announces they are finished with the subject. Rehashes the whole thing again in 6 months. Repeats annually.

Jackson Hinkle is a far-left loon.

Here he is "debunking" invasion myths in an aged-like-milk video with ultra-loon Galloway several days before the war broke out. "Vladimir Putin is doing everything he can in his power to prevent this war"

Like you, these are useful idiots for the Kremlin, they hate "the West" as much as Putin does (I suspect more) and happily evangelize Russian propaganda (like you do)

Ukraine is losing ground in E Ukraine, it's being reported on everywhere, the Russians have been making gradual progress for a good few days now, but they are also struggling, with logistics, entire battalions refusing to fight, poor morale, etc.

Here are the actual words of Russia's Counsellor to the UN in Geneva, Boris Bondarev:

"My name is Boris Bondarev, in the MFA of Russia since 2002, since 2019 until now – Counsellor of the Russian Mission to the UN Office at Geneva.

For twenty years of my diplomatic career I have seen different turns of our foreign policy, but never have I been so ashamed of my country as on February 24 of this year. The aggressive war unleashed by Putin against Ukraine, and in fact against the entire Western world, is not only a crime against the Ukrainian people, but also, perhaps, the most serious crime against the people of Russia, with a bold letter Z crossing out all hopes and prospects for a prosperous free society in our country.

Those who conceived this war want only one thing – to remain in power forever, live in pompous tasteless palaces, sail on yachts comparable in tonnage and cost to the entire Russian Navy, enjoying unlimited power and complete impunity. To achieve that they are willing to sacrifice as many lives as it takes. Thousands of Russians and Ukrainians have already died just for this.

I regret to admit that over all these twenty years the level of lies and unprofessionalism in the work of the Foreign Ministry has been increasing all the time. However, in most recent years, this has become simply catastrophic. Instead of unbiased information, impartial analysis and sober forecasting, there are propaganda cliches in the spirit of Soviet newspapers of the 1930s. A system has been built that deceives itself.

Minister Lavrov is a good illustration of the degradation of this system. In 18 years, he went from a professional and educated intellectual, whom many colleagues held in such high esteem, to a person who constantly broadcasts conflicting statements and threatens the world (that is, Russia too) with nuclear weapons!

Today, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is not about diplomacy. It is all about warmongering, lies and hatred. It serves interests of few, the very few people thus contributing to further isolation and degradation of my country. Russia no longer has allies, and there is no one to blame but its reckless and ill-conceived policy.

I studied to be a diplomat and have been a diplomat for twenty years. The Ministry has become my home and family. But I simply cannot any longer share in this bloody, witness and absolutely needless ignominy."

This is a diplomat with 20 years experience, putting his life on the line to expose the truth. But of course you know better than him ;)

it's like that poster who doesn't believe satellites are real, just encourage them and all the unhinged stuff spews out. Morbidly fascinating.

Well he's already admitted to being in Moscow so maybe his dream move did come true, more likely though is he was always there spreading Russian disinformation across the net, being told what to post and where.

Starting to suspect it too.

He read all about it on Twitter, so he is of course an expert.

what BS. You do not need to be a Nazi - pick whatever definition you like - to kill, maim people , carry out a genocide and while you are at it level/ pound cities, towns , etc to rubble, destroy a country s productive/ cultural assets, create a massive refugee problem, etc, etc, etc, etc. NO NO, NO, NO, NO, NO. No NO NO , YOU JUST NEED TO BE A RUSSIAN SOLDIER IN THE RUSSIAN ARMY MANAGED BY A CARING PRESIDENT!

Absolutely bizarre.

Can I suggest a move to the motherland for you and see how long you survive before you come home crying.

Lol so not only is Ukraine a "Nazi country", not only are "Nazis behind 9/11, JFK, etc", now other posters "support Hitler". It's Godwin squared.

But of course, for the Nazis he likes, like the ones who work for Putin or the ones who manufacture the holocaust denial propaganda he swallows, they're obviously not Nazis.

Another one, I'll bite

Many Russian units are ill-disciplined and badly organised. Where to start? Russian riot police found themselves on the frontline of Kyiv at the opening of the conflict. Looting is widespread. They've been losing equipment and vehicles (visually confirmed) at the rate of 3 to 1. Russian comms were so bad they were using cell phones to communicate, much of it intercepted. The Russians themselves are complaining, they have medical kits from the 70's, the soldiers in Chernobyl had maps from 1985 (huge numbers were poisoned from digging in the radioactive red forest), in the early days up to 50% of certain units had frostbite. It's still a big potent military, but yeah ample evidence they are pretty woeful by modern standards. Even pro-Russian bloggers were losing it when that battalion got slaughtered crossing the river.

What thousands of Russians being "exterminated by Ukrainian scum pre-2014"?

Any Russian shell or missile is 100% Putin's responsibility. It's a war of choice by Russia. Likewise every dead Ukrainian and every dead Russian is 100% Putin's responsibility. And yes, Russia has a doctrine and encircling a city and pulverising it with artillery and air, nasty, but it's how they do.

No idea about your RTE claim. If it's the below that's not cluster munitions, it's WP, burns at 3k degrees, through anything. I'd take cluster bombs any day over that.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt but am braced for the usual. Any thoughts on 9/11 by the way? (considering this is a 9/11 conspiracy forum)

Okay. There's no evidence Putin "fixed" Irish elections. The ransomware cyber attack on the HSE was believed to be carried out by a Russian criminal gang.

No one is really "winning" the war, but Russia has been making recent gains in the East after being pushed back from Kyiv and Kharkiv and is currently having some issues NE of Kherson. It's widely believed (and quite obvious) they wanted to take the whole country, but have been forced to continually modify their plans due to setbacks and heavy Ukr resistance. It's a war of conquest and territory, looks like they are trying to claw whatever they can from their neighbour.

Any response to my previous points/questions?

Yes pretending to try and take Kiev was a tactical move to have a load of his army eliminated from future battles e.g. Suicide missions to take Hostomel, etc. Do you read the nonsense you post? However, maybe I have mistook you and you really are the person behind the Darth Putin Twitter account!

of course you're right, loads of Russian army have been eliminated 🤣.... really, so many 'military strategists' and 'experts' in here, keep watching RTE and read these colorful magazines 😂😂

my further posts in here are pointless as no one got any valid points to discuss, bye

any valid independent sources? don't think so.

and Finland making their own decision, pure joke ... and I dont like Putin at all, on the top internal Russian affairs shouldnt be anyones concern.

Also, as I've said previously, it seem to Russians shelling cities taken over by themselves due to Ukrainians not trying to take them back lol

bye

He even did a dramatic exit, and as standard he could not help himself, thus the encore.

But I thought the official word is that the Kyiv thing was all a clever ruse by the Russians that went off perfectly.

Also lol you didn't predict anything man. You can't predict anything as you are talking completely out of your arse.

After that post I have come to the conclusion that you have a serious dose of Putinists. As a possible cure , you might ‘ read up’ how the Russian army ‘so first actions are when it approaches towns/ vliiages /cities before moving in on foot. Mariopul would be a good case study for you . To help you in your research the only/ main question to be answered is which side levelled Mariopul? You might tell all of us boardies what your findings are

Nope. Moscow couldn't say Mariupol had fallen because there were two battalions worth of enemy fighters in the city.

Your view on Kyiv is BS, you literally wrote "the final push" in Kyiv in one of your earlier posts.

LNR and DNR is Ukrainian territory, it was attacked by force by Ru proxy forces and Russian backed separatists starting over 8 years ago. Ukraine is a sovereign country, if areas wanted more federal independence, they could have used democratic methods.

Ukraine can choose to join NATO, choose to join EU, again it's a sovereign country, it's no threat to Russia. NATO is no threat to Russia. Russia, as always, is the threat to it's neighbours, when it isn't annexing or invading or meddling, it constantly talks about invading, attacking, nuking, you only have to switch on Russian TV or listen to any of it's politicians.
