The Russian commander of the “Vostok” Battalion fighting in southern Ukraine said on Thursday that Ukraine will not be defeated and suggested that Russia freeze the war along current frontlines.

Alexander Khodakovsky made the candid concession yesterday on his Telegram channel after Russian forces, including his own troops, were devastatingly defeated by Ukrainian marines earlier this week at Urozhaine in the Zaporizhzhia-Donetsk regional border area.

“Can we bring down Ukraine militarily? Now and in the near future, no,” Khodakovsky, a former official of the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic, said yesterday.

“When I talk to myself about our destiny in this war, I mean that we will not crawl forward, like the [Ukrainians], turning everything into [destroyed] Bakhmuts in our path. And, I do not foresee the easy occupation of cities,” he said.

Is that supposed to make the US look better, and not monstrous?

No. Yanks are idiots I said it before and I'm certainly willing to repeat it. The age of enlightenment by and large never reached them.

Have you ever checked out Blowback?

Nope and honestly I'm not particularly interested because I was already arguing with idiots back then that they're making a heap of mistakes, I'm sure there's details in there that I don't know but I'm well-versed in the overall gist of it all from back then.

If you're up for crying and laughing at the same time though I have something for you. The history of the USA ones, the subtitles are quite good.
