#1 If you believe any of the propaganda spread by both sides, you're a fool. Especially all the bullshit about how the Russians are "losing" the war.

#2 Love the irony of Russians complaining about lying agitprop when the other side does it. Destroying villages to "save them from Nazification" will be easier than occupying

#3 ^ More bullshit. You've fallen for the media's and US politicians' lies about Zelensky and repeated their ignorance of Kolomoisky. Read this:

How Ukraine’s Jewish president Zelensky made peace with neo-Nazi paramilitaries on front lines of war with Russia
ALEXANDER RUBINSTEIN AND MAX BLUMENTHAL
MARCH 4, 2022

While Western media deploys Volodymyr Zelensky’s Jewish heritage to refute accusations of Nazi influence in Ukraine, the president has ceded to neo-Nazi forces and now depends on them as front line fighters.

#4 I'm curious, do Russian trolls get paid by the post or by the word?

#5 You won't persuade anyone with stupid name calling.Try educating yourself instead. Stop swallowing propaganda.

#6 They might find more people take them seriously if they actually read the posts they were calling bullshit on.

#7 Try educating yourself instead.

That, right there, is the troll equivalent of saying you are rayciss.

Giant piece of boilerplate propaganda.

Giant tell.

#8 Funny thing is, no one says the Russians are *losing*. Just that they're doing a shit job, their equipment is shit, their training is shit, their logistics are shit, and their commander-in-chief is shit.

#9 You're deluded if you think the stuff being fed you is an accurate description of the realities in the battlefield. The Russians issue their propaganda; so do the Ukrainians. You choose to believe one side because it fits your preconceptions.

I don't pretend to know who's "winning" but it's obvious that the world is losing now that the America's drooling idiot of a president is punishing us all with sanctions.

For every Ukrainian killed by Russian thugs, another 100 people outside of Europe will starve to death because of sanctions preventing countries across the Near East and Africa from accessing Russian wheat.

#10 Furthering Rob, all we know are the Russians are not easily winning. They are in a slog fest they obviously weren't expecting. The Ukrainians arent invading. All they are trying to do is not lose.

#11 The sanctions will end when Putin pulls his thugs out of the Ukraine.

And the world is not going to collapse -- or starve -- over the absence of an economy smaller than Italy's.

#12 Saddam got really, really wealthy off of the Iraq oil sanctions. Castro got really, really wealthy off the sanctions against Cuba. Putin has more people he has to placate, but it's worth considering that so far sanctions haven't removed anyone from power except the White South African government (as far as I can recall).
