It's not "voting for Putin", though, despite the allure of the hyperbole.

In reality it's voting for "why should mah goddamn taxes be spent on furriners...??!?!?!?"
It's really, "Why should we send guns to Ukraine when we've got hundreds of deranged loaners with personality disorders in America who desperately need them". MAGA, innit.............................

Some potentially good news from a fascist terrorist.


Really interesting analysis from him. It seems very important for Ukraine to protect it's troop numbers (and vehicles) during their probing attacks, and to rotate them to maintain energy.
Here's hoping they can break through properly in one or more places soon.
They are doing well in the areas south and north of Bakhmut 👍...bit by bit.

The allies barely got too far from the beach landings for over 45 days and similarly, it may not have looked so great or significant until the German lines collapsed.

We can but hope for the same in Ukraine.

Exactly that 👍.
In these days of instant information and desired results, the examples from history are all too easily forgotten.
The Ukrainian military leaders are smart, and playing a patient game. I hope the supporting allies truly understand this and provide the long term patience and supplies required.
After some time, consistent daily pressure should cause a sudden break in Russia's defence.

Exactly. Ukraine value’s the life of its servicemen.

Bogged down in the hedgerows of Bocage against far superior Tiger tanks, until Typhoon’s started systematically destroying them. With the Nazis suckered into employing vast resources into defending Caen.

Echoes of Putin.

Yeah, pretty damning evidence. Any media that just reports what Putin etc says (without verification or rebuttal) needs their head or credentials examining.
When this wholly unnecessary war is over, it will begin to gradually dawn on ordinary Russians, over the years and decades to come, that it has been an unmitigated disaster for Russia.

In countries around the world, the message will be passed down the generations. Never trust a Russian. They lie through their teeth.
