    It’s difficult to tell what’s important and what’s not, the push for results from the American’s is ever present and desperate, due to political necessities of “justifying” the continued threat and expenditure in supplying 90% of all Ukraine’s military going on two years now. I’d like to believe that Ukraine is making progress in pushing the Russians out and back, but I still can’t see Putin taking the L in all this without either attacking NATO or using nukes in Ukraine, everything I see and read is colored by that concern. The Ukrainians are putting up a hell of a fight, of that I am sure, I’m just not jumping up and down at this latest “news” which feels entirely like, it’s time for some positive spin.

      your entire post is a bunch of silly spin and hopeful bullshit seen from the Russian perspective… Russians need to strap in, there’s one hell of a ride coming for them…
