Stupid Shit in Kyiv

The more it becomes clear that there's little hope for your beloved Russian invaders, and Russia as a whole, the more you're reduced to finding inanely stupid things to post.

Pretty desperate stuff, eh? Imagine how they must feel in the Kremlin! I guess it serves as a distraction from that loud flushing sound.

Since you like Wikipedia, take a refresher course on this:

And, as I specifically pointed out, that kind of flawed reasoning isn't limited to any one viewpoint.

In stark contrast, the correct approach is to use observable facts to inform your own opinions. BTW, your use of a facile (flawed) analogy is another quintessential example of sloppy thinking. In your mind the Russian military = the Dallas Cowboys and Ukraine's forces = a High School team. You slap a "reality" label on this when it's nothing more that a construct that lives in your own brain. And, because you're locked into this view, you conveniently ignore or downplay any facts that contradict it. Consider, for example, that your "Dallas Cowboys" have been pushed steadily backward for over a year. Wow, how is it that the high school team is consistently winning at the line of scrimmage? And how many fumbles and other critical mistakes has the "pro" team made?

While I doubt you'll read it, here's an interesting look at some other inconvenient facts. Ukraine was never weaker or more vulnerable than immediately after the invasion. And yet they were able to repel Russian forces from the outskirts of Kyiv. Here's one account of how that happened, which I'm happy to post for any forum member who might be interested:

A 21 year old National guard soldier was arrested yesterday for reveling sensitive military secret's. All over every news channel last night even the liberal idiots didn't know what to say. Those of us living in reality knew this all along. The Joint Chiefs and our president were all lying, big time. Russia is losing 1 soldier to Ukraine 6, a five year old knows that won't work. Many other lies were reveled about weapons and money but I thought the kill ratio to be biggest lie. Millie and Austin should both be court-martial for lying to the American people. Many other spooky things were in the document release but Ukraine info is the topic here. They had no chance and our military knew this, the bullshit is over. It will interesting to see how they spin it now.

There are at least two points that serve as evidence of his non-credibility.

First, his alleged "scoop" about the Nordstream bombing was posted on his personal substack. The fact that he avoided publishing on ANY established site, even those of the pro-Russia persuasion, demonstrates his reluctance (or inability) to share any information about his "source" or any other details that a responsible publisher might want to double-check. Personal substack + anonymous source = zero credibility.

Second, Hersh tries to create pseudo-credibility by leveraging his reputation from past stories he's reported. But that's problematic because plenty of that reporting has been thoroughly debunked.

Hersh reached the pinnacle of his career during the Vietnam War years. Subsequently he's become a caricature of his former self. It's a bit like a formerly A-List movie star being reduced to a cameo role on Love Boat. Rather a sad spectacle.

But hey, since birds of a (pathetic) feather flock together, it's no surprise he's your go-to guy!

Our resident troll quotes a liar to avoid being called a liar. Clever.

Tell us oh wise one, what is the rate of inflation in your beloved country?

Cocraine's nasty green blob wants more and more.

As I've noted before, every time you post something inanely stupid, it's followed by the obliteration of somewhere between 400-700 Orc invaders.

Must be more than mere coincidence, right?

Easter seems to be going well, thought I'd post this meme before the resident retard posts his usual vatnik shit. Reaction folder is full of memes, but I will try to get some in Chinese to help him with his studies.

Main points:

1. Russia has lost a lot of tanks. This is a function of needing to conduct an offensive campaign in order to advance and seize territory.

2. For each lost tank, unless it was caused by mechanical breakdown or other non-battle event, some or all of the tank crew were likely injured or killed.

3. For various reasons (sanctions, worker shortages, etc.) Russia is struggling to replace the loss of their most modern tanks with equivalent models.

4. Russia is attempting to compensate by using older (formerly mothballed) tank models, upgraded if possible.

5. The kinds of possible upgrades available (sighting mechanisms, etc.) still can't change the fundamental vulnerabilities that caused those tank models to become obsolete.

6. Tank crews operating older tank models, even if refurbished, are at greater risk of injury or death.

7. Taking all the above into account, the result is a vicious negative cycle which exacerbates Russia's tank crew problem.

Note: For those who might say that Ukraine faces similar issues, the obvious response is that the war is being waged asymmetrically. Ukraine can defend against tanks with shoulder-fired ATGMs, or drone-adjusted indirect fire. With the possible exception of the Kharkhiv offensive, I don't believe Ukraine has (so far) launched a major tank-centric operation.
