Putin in Russia (II): Spicy Island Liberation Front

[Richybear]

also i'm aware of the irony of my own country using nothing but shit that was made before i was born

When my Dad was in Desert Storm, the little pea shooter pistol he was issued had no firing pin. May as well hand him a board, or maybe a board with a nail in it!

Have a thing for Sky News don't you?

They're on youtube and easy to watch. They also seem pretty neutral. Do you have a problem with them? The dude who talks in the videos I link seems like he knows what he's talking about.

Formerly owned by Rupert Murdoch and now owned by John Ryley's Comcast. Yeah, lol, I'll pass. There is no such thing as neutral corporate news media.

Jesus christ I'm starting to understand why people don't like you. Consider watching the content before trying to ascribe bias ffs...

Big talk, considering you likely be right near me on the list around here.

So, I should sit there, pull up a chair next to you, and watch Sky News together on YouTube? In order to sit there and document how corporate media is quite obviously not a neutral entity?

You are an American linking Sky News regularly, yes? Just found it peculiar was all.
You don't need to try and defend it. There's this odd focus by Americans on corporate news being unbias as some sign of validity. Truth be told, I don't think you would be inclined to notice or scrutinize the source. Might as well link the BBC or something.

They're literally easy videos to link by a guy I think knows what he's talking about. I've exhausted my interest in discussing this with you because it's pedantic as hell.

Its not about the military analyst. You started by saying the source network itself is neutral. I was musing about the choice and then followed up with "no".
Given how your recent responses on the reality in the war—given that you are watching an analyst on the matter. Have been overly optimistic and yesterday, dismissive of the fact the war isn't over. It begs the question of if it matters how neutral the source after it gets delivered.

The irony of a sizable sect of USSR worshiping tankies having to unironically support fascism is far from lost on me.

Anyway, I only glanced over the last few posts but if anyone thinks the war is almost over, they couldn't be further than the truth. Not because Russia has an ace up their sleeve, but because I consider the most dangerous days of the conflict to be the ones where Putin is truly backed into a corner.

[Spicyryan]

Who is supporting fascism around here?

[Tymon]

Nobody, I was adding an anecdote to Rhyis' post above about Republicans loving to kill commies.

Ah, okay, you lost me for a sec was all.

None of the videos I linked said that. They said the opposite in fact. Spicy is being a fucking idiot.

Lol k.

Russia will assuredly be able to mount further offensives, if not at the tail end of this campaigning season then in Spring after the weather thaws the battlefield. they just likely won't be terribly effective, as none of the ones they've launched since April have been. a lot depends on how much farther the Kremlin is willing to go. so far they've avoided mass mobilization like the plague for fear of civilian blowback and are conserving their modern military stocks, but things can change.

But I'm sure they can start another front just fine.

HEAR THAT Y'ALL?! THE NORTH LOST AT MANASSAS AND LEXINGTON! THE WAR WILL BE OVER SOON!

You would do well to listen to pay more mind to Andalusian instead of trying to try and behave half as sassy as I.

Ah yes, I forgot they lost all of their equipment there and were fully deployed and have no other weapons they can use out of desperation.

Jesus.

You people are insufferable I swear.

Perhaps it be better then if I said it more decisively as "Russia isn't beaten"? Rather than the equivalent statement of "War ain't over"?

What are you even doing with this whole letting the videos talk for you thing? Why don't you try saying something yourself? Act with some dignity. Again, this isn't even about what the videos say.

TIL: Not being able to open another front in a war = Completely defeated.
TIL: I have to defend every video I post because clearly I am incapable of making arguments myself if I post videos of things that interest me that are related to the topic at hand that others also might find interesting.

What? They still occupy vast swaths of the damn country. Just because they don't swing in a new front from Tranzistria or Belarus doesn't mean they are defeated. What even is this mind fuckery? No one insinuated that nonsense, except you where I quoted above.

And yet you still learned nothing.

Muh videos! They didn't like them! I just posted them with no context and expect everyone to watch them and open discussion for me! Muh Sky News! It's just so easily accessible!

Russian propaganda TV show aired a clip of Malcolm Nance in an attempt to prove that Russia isn't losing to Ukraine it's losing to NATO. Because black American = NATO forces. "What now bitches, shits coming down!"
