Possible for Ukraine to beat back Russia?

[Jibartik]

Someone once pranked me by telling me some russian flew a mig to the USA to escape the USSR and the USA let him keep it and he lived on a farm and had a mig.

I just wanted something like that to be true!

If I had a mig right now Id just fly it to the mountains and live in a shack with a mig outside of it.

Someone did defect from NK tho without even knowing there was a reward. I posted the link and forgot already. You should do some research. He lived quite well and got a job in the defense and aerospace industry.

Im sure they were like, wow this guy is astute and he works super hard.

Then he pulls out an abacus to do some math problems at work and they all lost it.

Ok, I'm going to officially call it.

Russian Defeat.

Now it's just a matter of how bad it will be.

Today is three weeks. Russia has sustained terrible casualties, lost an incredible amount of vehicles and airframes, and has not made any progress on the ground in a week. They have actually been pushed back in some places like Mikolayev. They have not taken Mariupol yet, a city forecasted to fall in the first couple of days, surrounded and cut off.

They are done.

Putin will now increase civilian deaths and infrastructure losses to force more favorable terms.

Hopefully Zelensky will hold firm as the Russian negotiating position deteriorates. They already lost a bunch of civilians and infrastructure. To guarantee a more lasting peace it's worth losing more. That's pretty cold but you're making an investment in the future with the sacrifices of today. If you don't beat the invader badly, they'll just kill you down the road.

While I wish this was correct, the most recent vid that actually has information from
Russia such as what advances they have made, the person seems pretty knowledgeable on the subject and is saying that Russia will capture Kyiv by end of april

So ironic that legacy media here bans all Russian content calling it “misinformation” while Putin shuts down all negative press about the war there calling it “traitorous”

They are one and the same when it comes to attempting to brainwash their own citizens with their propaganda. One and the same

Not sure how blocking state propaganda outlets that are controlled by a 21st century Hitler is the same as criminalizing all dissent. If you criticized government policies like this in Russia, you'd already be locked up or conveniently fall out a window.

Your heros conspired to silence the truth to win an election, and they're doing it now to start a world war something must be done I demand an impeachment and we seat trump at the head of congress!

It’s just that “misinformation” is now a blanket term for any information the current government doesn’t like. Russians do use misinformation (as does Ukraine), but to categorize all Russian news as misinformation is a lie itself. Call it information we don’t like and be honest

“Dangerous misinformation that must be stopped” used to mean things that could cost American lives by creating vaccine hesitancy. Now lo and behold “misinformation” is being abused to push only government propaganda. Which could ironically cost American lives on a massive scale beyond vaccine hesitancy if it drags us into a world war

If Biden only allows government propaganda to be televised in this country then how do you explain the continued existence of Fox News?

Putin has banned all independent media that he can't control, it's really only comparable if you're a paste eating moron.

Spider Camper whines about propaganda

Parrots media that lied and spewed propaganda about Hunter Biden's laptop

Comedy ensues

because when he does stuff he does it in a way that would be best described as droning carloads of kids or leaving behind billions of dollars and having people fall off airplanes and arming the enemy or flubbering his lines so much he causes world war 3 to start.

tl;dr: he does things very poorly.
