Cypher is obviously a bot. Just posts 2-3 Kiev Independent news articles a day about the latest Russian Iranian drone to hit a Ukrainian apartment building.
JB is more like a paid troll farm employee. 80 posts a day all over the place complete with annoying commentary like: "UK soldiers are such retarded idiots!!!!!!".... and "Corrupt Cargo Pants Midget Boy stealing another billion for his Italian villa with 10% to the Big Guy"....
It's annoying that Chicken doesn't ban them all.

Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov announced today the conclusion of a round of negotiations between the United States and Ukraine held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The talks focused on strategic cooperation, including military and defense matters.
Umerov also emphasized that discussions are ongoing regarding future U.S.-Ukrainian collaboration in the energy sector, which is a crucial area given Ukraine’s efforts to rebuild infrastructure amid the war and reduce reliance on hostile energy sources.
The meeting is part of a broader push to strengthen bilateral ties and secure long-term support from Washington, not only militarily but also in areas like energy security, economic resilience, and post-war recovery.

Demidovka in the Belgorod came under the control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
As Romanov reports, Russian troops fled the settlement.
Ukrainian air strike also has damaged the bridge in the Grafovka village, Belgorod. This was one of the resupply road to the Demidovka.

?? A meeting between the US and russian delegations on Ukraine has started in Riyadh.
According to Reuters, the United States is offering russia a truce agreement in the Black Sea, and the return of Ukrainian children and the establishment of a conditional "line of control" is also being discussed.
According to Waltz, it should look like a "freezing of positions" and "confidence building".

The deal that Putin insisted on was pretty simple. Replace the government with Pro Russian puppets. Reduce the Ukraine military to a shell with no western weapons. No defensive alliances, etc etc.
If you had a choice between that, and fighting. Why wouldn't you fight? I would. I think anyone would.
I guess I kind of see the government thing more as Putin trying to get a PR win for "expelling the Nazis" versus him wanting to install his own government. Presumably any election they have would be a democratic election, though Russian (and Western) influence would undoubtedly be working overtime in it.
If he could install his own government he obviously would, but I don't think that is necessarily a requirement of the "Zelensky out" red line.

Without the billions of US aid, they would be Belarus 2.0 already.
If "Without US Aid, X thing will happen" were the metric we were using, we would be sending every penny in the US budget somewhere other than the US.
I just don't think they are strategically important to us at all. At the very least they are far more important to Russia, and as Obama famously said Russia will always have the escalation advantage over us in Ukraine.
Now Europe? Sure, Europe should be sending the farm. Not America, though.

I think that's exactly what we've accomplished. No one thought Ukraine could hold off Russia 3 years ago. But they did. With minimal help from anyone. So then we had an opportunity to accomplish a lot for our investment. We upgraded our own weapons by sending old stuff to Ukraine that we replaced with shiny new next generation stuff. We got invaluable intelligence on how Russia fights. And what works against them.
And Europe finally woke up to the idea that Russia is an existential threat to them. And if they don't stand up to them, then they'll be the next to fall.
And it seems to be working. Europe is talking about $2 trillion in military investment. Ukraine is about to sign over most of its future mineral development to the USA. We have huge infrastructure investment in south Louisiana to build out the export terminals to replace Russian gas with American LNG.
And, we stepped over about 5 of Putin's Red Lines and he didn't do shite. So we busted that ridiculous myth as well.
This is turning into a Win for everyone except the Russia, Iran, Venezuela, South Africa alliance.
The only other winner in the mix is probably North Korea. They ship 5 million old artillery shells and they get food, fuel, hard currency, fighter jets, and missile technology. That's a great trade for them.

Meanwhile Cypher is even more obviously so, he just is on the "correct" side. Posting every war related article from 2 specific pro ukraine outlets both based in Ukraine every day for YEARS...... Does that not seem off to anyone else?
His account existing 8 years before the invasion doesn't seem off to you? You saying he's more obviously than john barron seems quite fricking off to me, since jb has been a shitposting machine since day 1, that puts chronic shitposting machines like jjbot to shame.

If they actually thought that they would have been going at this full bore since day 1. But they didn't do that.
They spent 3 years preaching that Russia is going to march into Paris if we don't stop them here. Now that the US is backing away I get the impression that this uptick in European aid is more politics than actual substance and belief. If they don't start sending more aid their now terrified (possibly gaslit) electoral base will oust them.

The account has been on the site since 2014. That year mean anything to you in regards to Ukraine?
Also its not like this site has its accounts under lock and key. A country who could do something like, say... take down an American social media site for the majority of a day.... could find some random TD account to hack if it needed to.
Accounts for the most random shite get sold all the time as well.
Point being, lot of explanations there.
John Barron actually replies to people at least. There is way more benefit of the doubt there IMO. Cypher only somewhat started replying to people (almost always still with an accompanying article link) when more posters than just me started calling him a bot.
I had an account here WAY back in the day that I can't even remember the username and definitely not the password to. I remember the Q thread. If you read it you'd know there are people that just do the kind of posting he does, and we've seen it before on this very site. So to me yes there is more doubt with JB than Cypher.

What am I missing? Isn’t European aid on par with US aid to Ukraine since the SO started?

"Zelensky accused Trump's team of spreading Russian narratives again. "I believe that Russia managed to influence some people in the White House team with the help of information. Their signal to the Americans was that the Ukrainians do not want to stop the war, and something needs to be done to force them. American officials began to take Putin at his word, even when their own intelligence contradicted him” — Zelensky"

Starmer's plans to send peacekeepers to Ukraine are 'political theatre' — The Telegraph
?"Starmer jumped ahead with talk of ground forces before he knew what he was talking about, so we are hearing less about that now and more about aircraft and ships, which are easier to sell and don't need to be based in Ukraine," one source said.
??There are no definite assumptions about military or military-strategic planning. It is all political theater.
??Even if some plan is developed before Easter, its implementation remains a “political and diplomatic issue.”
??For now, the coalition being assembled by Britain is more focused on “intensifying political signals about our continued commitment to Ukraine’s security.”
