The author of that article is at best very unreliable and at worst just straight up Russian propaganda here is a retort to pretty much everything he has said.

It’s also interesting that article as far as I can see does not at all cover the current wars losses, all it seems to do is repeat a bunch of Russian propaganda.

It’s always funny to see Russia trying to involve NATO countries in this war in there propaganda, because it’s okay to lose to NATo where as it’s kinda pathetic for Russia to lose to Ukraine.

Well thanks for enlightening me. From now on I will only trust NYT, WSJ, Washington Post, Guardian and BBC - they are the only truthful and accurate sources in the world today.

Well they are all more truthful then the Russian media who believes that Ukraine has genetically modified super soldiers and black magic battalions.

To be fair it doesn’t matter because your source doesn’t even cover anything I said it just tries very hard to justify the genocide of Ukrainians.

I was talking about the Russian armed forces performance in the war not about if it was justified or not(which it isn’t).

As I said, the education system in the West really needs a revamp. I just gave one example and already knew that you are going to post that one link as a retort (which does not provide any counter arguments to the points made by Jacques Baud at all). Hope your heroes from Azov were "evacuated" safely, as reported by the Western press. Honestly, I find it hard to believe that people can trust the Western press after the absolute nonsense they have reported so far and continue doing.

I don’t know why you keep hanging on about the education system.

Your article didn’t address any of the points I made all it tries to do is justify the genocide of Ukrainians.

I’d feel safer as a azov member then as a propagandist in Moscow right now.

I mean your telling me the press that said

“Russia will not invade Ukraine” the day before it happened

“Ukraine using black magic battalions”

“Ukraine using genetically modified super soldiers”.

Tells the truth?.

I don’t understand how you can think that a country that held a area (Crimea) for years and then started another war and has had 4-5 explosions losing half their Black Sea fleet aircraft is “winning”.

Is losing 1000 tanks and having to roll out T62s “winning”;

Is using soviet anti aircraft carrier missiles against malls “winning”.

Is having oil refineries and ammo depots hit in Russia proper “winning”.

Is having 20,000 troops caught in Kherson with no easy way to leave or resupply “winning”.

The situation is so dire in Crimea that there was a traffic jam of people trying to leave.
