    Eh bud, you are so delusional.. You know nothing about Russia or Russians.. You sounds like all those from the Mainstream narrative who were stating last year funny things like “ Russians running out of missiles, manpower, than artillery shells..” and so on.. Russians having endless resources and military manufacturing capacity as they were talking and frankly preparing for war with the west since about 2008.. but nobody listened because we are in the west are so arrogant and committing the same arrogant mistakes just like Napoleon or Hitler did when started a hot war with Russia.. They are winning slowly grinding down the Ukrainian military and believe me the Russkies didn’t even started to push.. we have seen endless trainloads of tanks and weapons hurling towards Ukraine since last summer but where are those? They didn’t even enter yet.. And as for Russian manpower shortages .. They are a country of 160 million.. that false narrative is already dead on arrival.. The Russians using their last reserves? Oh come on..! They used some 15 of their military power until now and frankly destroying the NATO supplied and trained Ukrainian military..

    Interesting : I did some ( googling ) and found out the most of Russia's commerce flows through the ( black sea ) on it's way to the Mediterranean .

    Then I looked at a map of NATO countries , now NATO is a military alliance hostel to Russia .

    Funny thing is quite a bite of the ( black sea ) is bordered on NATO members.

    If the Ukraine was to become a member then NATO controls Russia's access to the Mediterranean .

    That would be like Russia signing a military alliance with ( Spain / Morocco) .

    How about if Russia signed a military alliance as with ( Panama / El Salvador Cuba ).

    What would be America's response .

    I think if you truly are committed to informing the public about the nature of this conflict .

    This perspective should be discussed .

    If not then * it seems that your purpose is truly ( propaganda )

    If that the case : who is paying you and as an America why are you betraying your county's interest .

    Propaganda, The Ukrainian / NATO military has fought well by using a defensive gorilla style battle plan. Whenever they have popped up out of their rabbit holes they get shelled. That’s why the big offensive in the south is nonsense . the military leaders actually doing the fighting have ignored their political leaders orders. They are the ones shelling the nuclear plant. Zelenskyy has lost what little of control of the military he had.

    Shifting troops from other areas is normal. It gives rest to those who have been fighting for months and it gives combat experience to the replacement troops.

    What I don’t understand is why Zelensky continues to ask for money and weapons if they’re doing as well as they’re claiming? What’s happening to the equipment and money the West is giving them? Something is wrong when Zelensky and his wife can do a spread for Vogue Magazine when there’s so much fighting in their country. I guess Zelensky knew people were getting tired of him begging so he has his wife doing it now. There’s something not right with this guy.

    The Russians don't have to capture Odessa to stop trade there and initiate a new refugee problem for the west. and regarding the slow pace of Russia advance – compare to Syria and fighting ISL where defeating ISL took two years. The pace seems okay per that standard. This war could go on for years. When did Putin say they only wanted Dombas? I don't recall that. Putin said he wanted a non-aligned Ukraine. Full country. Lvrov said they plan on targeting west Ukraine because of the HIMARS stationed there.
