Why are you trying to minimize the job Trump is doing?

He is providing great leadership and taking bold steps to get the war settled; yet you act as if it’s nothing.

Who is trying to minimize it? I am pointing out the obvious that he dominates these weak leaders of the vassal states. Most of these European leaders are weak.

Compare that shot to what you got with Biden or Kamala.

Two of the most updated maps from the war. Curious to see if some areas of yellow in the first map turn red. Also can see where Ukraine has had some success with small counteroffensives. Second map is normally filled with Russian artillery/air strike icons but hasn't been the last few days. Seems Russia is slowing down those type of attacks.

At least grandpa doesn’t lurk here everyday trying to troll like you do.

And while Cope goes off the rails when it comes to Trump, he does post more war news than you and 86 do combined.

Russia spreads fake report of 1.7 million dead and missing Ukrainian soldiers — CCD

20.08.2025 17:56

Russian propaganda is circulating a fabricated narrative alleging that Russian hackers breached the Ukrainian General Staff’s database and obtained information about “1.7 million dead and missing Ukrainian service members” since the start of the full-scale war.

This was reported on Telegram by Ukraine’s Center for Countering Disinformation (CCD), under the National Security and Defense Council, according to Ukrinform.

“Kremlin-controlled propaganda outlets are spreading claims that Russian hackers allegedly breached the General Staff’s database and obtained information about ‘1.7 million dead and missing Ukrainian soldiers’ since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. In reality, this is an utterly absurd fake, as Ukraine has never had a standing army of 1.7 million personnel throughout its independence,” the statement reads.

According to the General Staff of Ukraine, as of August 20, 2025, Russian forces have suffered 1,072,700 casualties — killed and wounded — since February 24, 2022, effectively debunking the fabricated figures promoted by Russian propaganda.

“The goal of this fake is to demoralize Ukrainians, convince the world of the ‘exhaustion and ineffectiveness of the Ukrainian Armed Forces,’ and weaken international support for Ukraine,” the CCD stressed.

Highly selective and preferential posts. That's not war news...that's propaganda.

It would take what...a 10:1 kill ratio to even this out among active/reserves?

I doubt that's happening.

Russia strikes Kostiantynivka with Smerch rocket system, hitting houses and market, and injuring and killing people – photos

VALENTYNA ROMANENKO — Wednesday, 20 August 2025, 17:06

Russian forces have attacked the frontline town of Kostiantynivka in Donetsk Oblast, killing three civilians and injuring another four.

Source: Donetsk Oblast Prosecutor’s Office; Vadym Filashkin, Head of Donetsk Oblast Military Administration, on Telegram

Details: The Russians used a Smerch multiple-launch rocket system (MLRS) to attack the settlement. Strikes hit residential areas and the local market.

As a result of the attack, two women aged 40 and 69 and a 32-year-old man died from fatal injuries. Four other civilians sustained mine-blast and shrapnel wounds. They received qualified medical assistance.

Houses, apartment buildings, cars, shops and a power line were damaged in the city.

Under the procedural guidance of the Donetsk Oblast Prosecutor’s Office, a pre-trial investigation has been launched into this war crime (Article 438.2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine).

Prosecutors are taking all possible and appropriate measures to document the consequences of the Russian attack on the civilian population.

Quote from Filashkin: "The Russians launched eight Smerch rockets at the city, deliberately targeting the market. Fifteen retail units, eight houses, six apartment buildings, a shop, two cars and a power line were damaged.

Once again, I stress: it is dangerous to remain in Donetsk Oblast! The Russians are deliberately striking in ways designed to kill and maim as many civilians as possible. Do not put yourself at risk – evacuate in time!"

Don't think that number is accurate. Especially the claim that the highest number of casualties has been in 8 months but Russia has made the least amount of gains so far compared to previous years. Those two things don't usually correlate like that. Most independent sources put the number of Ukrainian losses at around 600k since the war started. Considering that number is probably low based on a multitude of factors the actual number of losses is probably close to 800k or even 1 million.

Largely. It's believed that it was Musk and the PayPal mafia that convinced Trump to bring him on board as the VP in the first place, which would explain why Vance was so eager to lecture Europe about their laws that limit the information that companies can have access too. Say whatever you want about the Europeans, they don't put up with having all of your personal info out in the open for companies to use in their little equations.

I believe that Musk wanted Vance as the Presidential candidate for his dumbass 'America Party' BS, but Vance is WAY to smart to sign on for that.

But, yes, Vance owes his VP-ship to the Tech Bros and will probably go to bat for them over anything they ask.
