-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance).

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Yes, that's literally the same statement.
If it can drag out the war then it's actually effective even if its only to buy them time to negotiate.
Wait, wait, wait, you genuinely think this is going to work in their interest in the end? 🤦
Let's just review how that's worked out so far. Before the war started, Ukraine could've implemented Minsk agreements and kept all of its territory. Two weeks into the war, it could've simply agreed not to join NATO, and kept most of its territory. Then in 2024, it could've just lost Donbas and Luhansk, now Ukraine going to lose everything east of Dnepr. Every single day the war continues Ukrainian position deteriorates, and they will lose more people and territory as a result. If this goes long enough there's not going to be an Ukraine left.
Buddy, I understand you'd really prefer if that was my position but I've told you repeatedly its not. It is either an insulting lack of reading comprehension or willful ignorance that you keep insisting that's my position. Let me spell my position out for you:
This is all I have ever tried to claim. But you somehow keep wishing I was some pro-Ukraine lib because in that fantasy you can win some internet points.
maybe you can help me, a dumdum with poor reading comprehension, to parse this then
And yes, nobody is arguing with you that fpv drones are a form of ammunition. Whether Russia would've been in Kiev or not without them many months ago is debatable however. You simply have to look at the size of the front and the numbers of people involved to see that a few thousand drones a day cannot possibly be the decisive factor in Russian advance.
