@gdiwolverinemale2745 Russia has claimed that all 4 were destroyed already. All while firing missions from Ukraine deep into Russian occupied territory continues. Try some critical thinking.

@gdiwolverinemale2745 I don't recall claiming that the Ukrainians destroyed the Kherson bridge at all, so what are you talking about? Heck, your logic doesn't even make sense. "Other people believe everything Ukraine says so I can believe everything Russia says" is braindead logic. Russia's offensive has stalled across the east with taking very little land, while Ukraine's offensive is ongoing in the south approaching Kherson. Like we have maps on the Ukraine Live Map to prove it.

@lorellaldos5263 War is preferable to surrender in the face of imperialist fascism.

@silvergem4649 Gaining a little land east, and losing a little land south. Paying a few more dollars in diesel for crippling Russian imperialism is a great deal. WW2 vets would be proud.

@kamalchandramoney3541 Russia started this war because they were terrified of a mere 5k US troops in Poland, so nice try lol

@purnamapurnama828 Most people would prefer a worse conflict if their home is being invaded over a quick defeat. Like, that's common sense. Who wants to see their home conquered and annexed without a fight?

@knoeffort3443 They've literally brought out Soviet-era weapons out, wdym they're not using their entire weapons? And the rest of their army is locked behind general mobilization; imagine how humiliating it would be for the likes of Russia to start the draft to destroy tiny Ukraine with a few Western weapons?

@Tekton177 Uh, that's his right as President; he has the right to kick people out of his administration, genius.

@gdiwolverinemale2745 How many times has Russia claimed to have destroyed the HIMARS? Like, seriously, you're obviously a bot.

@allydea Not really; he asserts that a HIMARS was destroyed when the gap between the head of the truck and the cargo is too large for them to be one and the same. He literally compared the two silhouettes and while they're around similar size, they also look nothing like each other in terms of infrastructure. In short; he's a Russian propagandist.

@oksyar Russia and China are only learning what everyone else with a brain knew; the West doesn't joke about their capabilities. The only question now is how much China has lied about their capabilities, since Russia's is a joke.

@oksyar LOL. Imagine using a dictatorship's government numbers and taking it seriously. They can claim they have over a million tanks tomorrow; that doesn't mean they actually have it. Use common sense, why would they bring out ancient T-62's in this war if they're not "going all out"? Jesus man, the copium is real. And did you really ask why the West isn't enforcing a no-fly zone??? AFTER Putler claimed nuclear weapons would be used if they intervened??? It's pathetic; Russia can threaten the world's destruction and the West will reasonably not test it, and then creeps on the internet will boast about Russian power when in reality its Russia being pathetic. A child threatening the world's devastation unless they get free rein of conquest.

@oksyar There most advanced tank, the T-90M was seen destroyed in Ukraine. A model of which they barely have any at all according to their own records. What world do you live in that countries send their own men to die using old equipment??? Jesus Christ, reality just kinda swerves and twists to justify the "Russia badass" meme for you. Literally nothing barring Russia admitting it is trying its best will ever convince you. This isn't a game, kid. Russian soldiers are dying, we have many videos and pictures of Russian tanks getting blown apart and you unironically act like Russians can just respawn and Russia is just saving the "good stuff" later on.

@oksyar Idk about that. Russia if nothing else has artillery and enough dumb ammo for said artillery to last the war. They are literally bombing cities down to their foundations, causing horrendous losses in life, but its a tried and true method to push back teh Ukrainians. This strategy was a shift from the attempt to copy the American-style shock and awe which was what caused the initial humiliation in the North and East. Too overstretched. Now Russia is back to its roots; shelling everything they can. And it has been working since Ukraine did not have much artillery themselves; at least until recently. Now most of the Russian gains are being contested and the Ukrainian army crawls closer to Kherson. Basically; I have no idea, but the momentum is back in Ukraine's corner after it returning to Russia for the last month and a half or so. Ultimately its Russia that has to bear an absurd cost to keep this war going compared to Ukraine, who has nationalist fervor against a hated enemy to maintain their war effort. So I find it unlikely that Russia can win; they would have needed a decisive victory against a large portion of the Ukrainian army or a massive symbolic victory to break their spirits to beat the actual Ukrainian national forces. After that, guerilla warfare time, but that's speculation. I believe Ukraine has a decent chance at victory, but only through exhausting the Russians. Russia has done a decent job of fixing themselves after their humiliation in Kyiv, but it may not be enough to get concessions.

Russia insists on that being the case in the first place, and their supporters are pushing that narrative. So you're kinda late.

@richierich1835 And the People are loving seeing more Russians kick the bucket in Ukraine. Win win!
