PS: My Post was intended as a response to Andy's Post, not Mr. Kamps' Post. I should have been clear. I suspect I have been mentally overwhelmed by the JN non-clarity posting style....over and over and over and over, to a level of mimicking non-clarity.
Not in Western Press. Hundreds and hundreds of billions of dollars being made so they just make up stuff as they say it as long as it fits the narrative to keep the money flowing. The photos show an empty apartment Block that was filled with Ukraine soldiers using the complex like a citadel. The west says that tens of thousands of Russians die in human waves attacking them in Bakhmut. So that is why they retaking it. But the reality is that Russia is leveling these buildings with artillery or 500 pound guided bombs. Or they pretty much fireballing them with various weapons that are delivered 10 miles or more away. Then Wagner or Russian paratroopers make their forward advances into the ruins that are left. That is why the battle of Bakhmut took so long for this is done block by block with 24 hour day to night and night to day shelling/bombing/theromobatic rockets.
Well Moen. You have a right to think what you want to think but you know your thinking is what the Republican RINOs and entire Democrat Party wants you to think. Hate to say it but you’ve been programmed.
Charley. I go one step further. Imagine if Clinton followed the promises Ronald Reagan made to Russia with helping Russia with the transition to Democracy. Imagine if Russia and Ukraine were both invited into NATO and later the European Union back then. USSR was gone. Killed by the new pro democracy movement in Russia. Putin would never have gained power. Russia and Ukraine both could have been strong democracies and China would be contained. Never mind so much of everything else positive.
As for that drone thing. It looked to me that the intention was to take out the Russian flag flying over the Kremlin for a photo-op. Blow up the flagstaff Don’t know how it could be classified as an as attempt on Putin’s life.
Gene the questions you should be asking are with all of the hundreds of billions of dollars the Biden Administration is taking from the treasury: 1. Where are the US satellite photos? 2. Why is CNN, etc not asking any questions but are acting as cheerleaders. Are they not journalist? Is Freedom of the Press owned? 3. If Ukraine is winning and are are the good guys they say they are, why is no US press actually embedded. I understand a few photos/video ops were done but no real live coverage at the front lines. 4. Why was the last American main news person who question this war. Question where the money was going. Question why the people pushing this war are making money off of it, etc was taken off the air.
Can you share a Link to a truly unbiassed non-political independent Journalist source that YOU trust? All you are doing, is what you usually do...a member posts, and you search google and wiki and reverse image hunt etc., until you find a "gotcha" website/story to counteract the member post, that fits your bias view and political Bent. You have not had the personal life experiences to understand that the real world takes advantage of, and psychologically robs you of, the natural gift of independent thought that is not manipulated by social media. I understand the generation that you are a part of relies on such sources and that it is the norm to do so, BUT, the issue of war and conflict and the experience of those participating can not be explained or solved with googling, even though it is a preferred method in modern education. You have mentioned from time to time that you enjoy a professional scientific career in the field of neuroscience. Would you have preferred a social media education in Neuroscience via google/wiki/twitter, etc., using media derived courses, not independent factual non-biassed research? Of course not. Then why except it in your social life? In the practice of your field of endeavor, you can articulate the damage caused by a projectile entering the cranium, and most likely have observed same in an Anatomy Class. BUT, have you experienced the terror and horror and feelings of helplessness and the overwhelming psychological impact to individuals that witness the damage to a fellow human, in real time? Try googling that. Do you understand the thrust of what I am sharing with you? Savvy? This has been another PITA Charley Talk. Take it or leave it.
I understand, and not intentionally to mimic your observation to another member, I would counter...what if The House and Senate had agreed and kept the promises? It does not matter what ANY POTUS wants to accomplish, Congress decides the agenda, and it is the very rare agenda that Congress does so on behalf of The People instead of their own biassed position.
How evasive. If I should be questioning those other sources so much, perhaps you should share yours. Do you not want us to have access to what you believe to be the best and most true sources?
Sigh....oh well, I tried. "Hey you are evasive!! No I am not, you are evasive, so there...take that!!" It is the equal of the time honored 2nd Grade "Wanna play doctor?" game. Modern education and social communication at work.... Truth in editing: removed an unnecessary "r".
No one has posted more sources then I and different ones as well from around the world. But the Democrats here are not interested in any content and ask for the source without responding to a question as their cover. The original source was written on two of the photos taken from drones. The sources that reposted them are many.
