“They have been steadily losing ground since the beginning of the war.”

Oh sweetie, they control less than half the territory they did at their peak.

    Damn, access to the whole internet and still sucking down the obviously false Putin Propaganda.

    The Olympics gold medal level metal gymnastics he’s going to have to do to get around all of that once Russia pulls out of Crimea is going to tie him in knots

      The “losing ground” comment is what baffles me the most. even the Russian maps show them losing ground.

            I do love how common 4d chess claims are now, like anytime someone doesn’t understand something it’s 4d chess. Can’t tie your shoes? 4d chess. Kids won’t talk to you? 4d chess. Got Covid to own the libs. 4d chess.

            It’s more an admission they’re either too stupid or too lazy to actually find out why it doesn’t make sense to them.

      I might be wrong on this, but it seems people don’t search the internet like people used to back in the older days. Now it seems everyone has been taught to be lazy and accept whatever their algorithm of choice feeds them. Idk, maybe im wrong, just a gut feeling.

        You got that right. What you mentioned here is one of the reasons why we’re in this shitty timeline in the first place. Critical thinking and confirming of facts are no longer done.

        Nah, people search the internet just as much, but now it’s far easier to find something to support your opinion no matter how far from the truth your opinion is. Its not about fact or fiction, it’s about somebody reinforcing what you think by repeating it. The scale of satisfaction has tipped from “learning something new” to “being right”, and its far easier to tell somebody that they’re right than to teach them something.

      Russian athletes doped their way through the Olympics. So he’s going to drink a lot.
