Russia’s Dramatic Failures

Russia is being pushed back in Eastern Ukraine, it is failing on the information war front, and its intelligence services have become a mockery. How did the once superpower come crashing down on the international stage?

@@iceiejest103 i know thats the mainstream narrative, but it just doesnt fit the numbers. maybe im wrong and if so ill have a whole lotta humble pie to eat, but i think that after bahkmut ukraine is the one who is in a really bad way.

When you listen to Putin give his deluded speeches, it's very clear why Russia is failing 😂😂

[@deanboardman2342]

Maybe someone can answer my question. Does putin know exactly what's going on in Ukraine, how humiliated and laughable his army is. Or are his inner circle still hiding everything from him and telling him lies. Does putin really believe he is gonna win this war ? 🤔

[@operator9858]

Every SANE and unbiased human being sees Russia’s aggression, criminal fascism and inevitable failure in this illegal ultranationalist colonial war. Open your eyes, brush your brain, fact-check and cross-check everything you are being told, and truth will be widely reviled in front of you, as clear as mountain creek water flowing downstream.

Russian failures are caused by the hand of God working against them just as the Ukraine victories are the hand of God working with you. The Bible says that time intent happens to all and that you know the death of Warriors Falls along those lines the thing that I'm confident and after so 50 something years Ava learning who the Lord is is that the righteous have hope and the wicked do not

[@pgabrieli]

god has nothing to do with this, if s/he even exists. russian failures are caused by the arrogance and incompetence of putin and his inner circle, and the endemic corruption of every sector of their society, first and foremost the military complex, where those in command were more interested in lining their pockets with the allocated budget, rather than maintaining their equipment. period. no need for god to get involved. although if s/he has time and attention to spare, a little help would be welcome

[@Geats-IX]

There is no god, but we can prove that Russian incompetence actually exists. Russia also believes that your god is on their side as they've become a kakistocratic theocracy since Putin took over.
