re: Latest Updates: Russia-Ukraine Conflict.

There have been several. JB was just the last. The first was Ruffish. He came around right when Ukraine made the Gun Run in the Kharkiv Offensive then disappeared after the Kherson Offensive.

Well if we play what if with the latter and both are paid, Coeur is in a position where most of the regulars here agree with him so he can get away with less volume to keep the account in tact and the grift going. But JB's tactic of extremely high volume from the get go doesn't work either because it's too obvious. Also Russian content is just shite. I don't even like Ukraine but "actually Russians are the good guys" posts are just absurd.

I think you hit on the biggest difference in the two. Beyond the shotgun spamming of the thread by JB, so much of what he posts is obvious propaganda from Russian propaganda sources (inclusive of the Russia is the good guy BS) vs. Coeur's posts at times are from Ukrainian sources, but he also posts from mainstream sources. Coeur will also actually discuss his posts vs. JB's attack responses.

That said, I agree that confirmation bias influences my opinion of Coeur's posts. I have been pretty clear that I would like to see Ukraine survive the war; however, this doesn't have anything to do with Ukraine. You could substitute any country for Ukraine, and I'd still want to see them bloody Russia's nose.

And in case someone thinks I'm a fan of Coeur, I'm not; I'm diametrically opposed to his opinions on President Trump's treatment of this war (and President Trump in general).

Me, 2...

I have no problem with anybody who writes and debates intelligently. regardless of whether I agree with them or not. You don't learn anything if you don't listen to every side of anything.

There's very few of those people on this entire site, especially outside of this thread... but most people come to this site to vent their spleens in an echo chamber where everybody validates it. It is a sports site, after all.

Most of the drive-bys are people who are active in other boards here who are just extremely bothered that this thread even exists because they completely oppose Ukraine for whatever reasons... "Ukraine supporter" is used as an insult.

Lima (I think I'm thinking of the right poster... it's been a while) wasn't a troll... he was a guy with his opinions and his ideology. I don't recall him ever insulting anybody here, even when they insulted him.

Sir WInston is not a troll... just a bit... goofy.

I’ve got bad news for you

LOL

Fair enough.

Significant breakthrough southwest of Siversk being reported by Rybar. ISW has not updated but in their map yesterday they acknowledged a Russian advance in the direction. This is east of the fortress belt in Donetsk.

That's genuinely interesting. I can see his point, although if there is one area the Ukrainians have just absolutely decimated the Russians it's been their logistics - again, the Russian logistics have been a joke for over three years now.

I think Ukraine took a very shortsighted mentality in terms of just being able to survive, but if Ukraine is genuinely interested in a successful counterattack, then O'Leary may have shown them the way.

That speaks to your low IQ, low information position. I have hard time believing some of the Zelensky simps on here, but then I see that shite like Kinzinger, and Vindman twins(none of who are really American as far as I'm concerned and should be stripped of citizenship) and Lady G and Lizzo Cheney to name a few. Thing is, they profit from this war and the Ukrainian grift, you're just playing the part of a useful idiot.

You're shitposting at the same time as I'm posting. So either you don't work or you're on some scammy disability/welfare. I have oodles of passive income, but I have a business that I run and I can do so at my leisure. It's a novel concept to a simpleton like you, but wealthiest people have a lot of free time. Then again I choose to be very busy when I feel like it because I can't just sit and do nothing. I choose to post when I post and as much as I feel to post largely because I detest the circle jerk in this clown of a thread. And I have little to no respect for the loudmouth little choir that copes here, begging to be isolated and in their little cope bubble.

Footage of Ukrainian loss of Su-25 getting hit by Russian MIG or other air-to-air. Pilot was killed.

Isn't Ukraine covered in snow right now? Every video I'm seeing on Twitter has snow-covered ground.

Where and when did this happen?

I doubt Ukrainians recovered the footage and posted it. More than likely a recently recovered by Russians after taking the territory, so it could be several months old easily. Odds are, nobody even heard about this loss because Ukraine is in "cope" state and doesn't report their losses if it can hide it.

This might the first go-pro style footage of a fighter jet being destroyed by A2A and a pilot fatality.

Had to pause it frame by frame to catch the detonation.
