I didn't say it was one way or the other... just that the propaganda from both sides makes it impossible for us to actually know the truth.Sumela » 29 Aug 2023, 9:03 am » wrote: ↑ Russia has gained 75,000 sq miles of territory...how is that a stalemate??
The thing about anything "Russian" - the truth eventually seeps out over a long time, and it is never anything like what was being reported. Your points are well taken.RedheadedStranger » 29 Aug 2023, 8:57 am » wrote: ↑ I have been reading "reports" that Russia is out of men and material for over a year now... yet they still seem to be in the fight.
I also keep reading "reports" that Ukraine has collapsed and is finished... yet they still seem to be in the fight as well.
Another big conflict is in the reports of casualties. One story says that hundreds of thousands of troops have been killed, while another says its only tens of thousands.
I seems to me that the only thing consistent here is the flow of propaganda from both sides of this ****.
Every time I see videos of the troops on either side, the seem to be laughing and having a good time... which isn't something you would really expect to see from a war zone.
There is no way for us to really know what the truth is.
A major tragedy in all the wars they start.RedheadedStranger » 29 Aug 2023, 9:07 am » wrote: ↑ The MIC still has a pile of cash to make before that happens though.
