Russia Ukraine war, page-54368

watso would like to know where our media source their news stories , in relation to the ukraine conflict ..

zelenski of course is portrayed as a modern day, male version, of queen Boadicea - and the ukrainians are fighting for democracy and freedom .. the reality is that the cannon fodder are fighting to maintain the status quo - and ukraine is a totally corrupt country - and the war is really between america and russia ..

anyway, the other day and in relation to the Kherson counter-offensive, watso recalls on the tv news, that the ukrainians had been using himars (in a lead up to the counter-offensive) to destroy russian ammunition dumps, destroy russian supply lines and to isolate russian troops blah blah ..

some interesting comments at this link ..

Kherson Counteroffensive: Why Is Ukraine Silent If Its Forces Are Winning?

The situation on the ground remains opaque and Zelenskyy has said no details of the campaign would be made public. Kyiv has even refused to confirm or deny that a counteroffensive is under way, although Russia's Defense Ministry confirmed that its forces had repelled a counterattack.

indeed, the other day, watso posted a link that mentioned that the ukrainian counter-offensive was nothing more than a rumour ..

mmm watso is losing track of how much support the americans are giving ukraine .. but this news story from yesterday
