I have not been able to follow for the last few hours. Did Russia take Kyiv overnight?

Golden nugget you should go over there and find out whats true for us since everything is propaganda.

I'm pretty sure most of what we see and hear is propaganda.

I just don't see the Russians taking that level of casualties, AND continuing to both hold 2/3 of their forces at the border while not stepping up their bombings.

No. But I think most of the fighting consisted of probing attacks with light armored vehicles. The heavier stuff is reportedly on the way.

I imagine they would make up some interesting fake quotes as well.

Ukrainian soldiers making fun of captured Russian equipment. Haha. Where are the Putin loving posters who laughed at me for months when I said Ukraine was better equipped and better trained and ready to fight than Putin’s conscripts?

The #French Navy detained the #Russian cargo ship "Baltic Leader" carrying cars in the English Channel. The ship was detained at the request of the French government because it might belong to a sanctioned company.

The Ukrainian propaganda has been embarrassing; ridiculous really. Russia is showing significant restraint, they aren’t employing the equipment or tactics we’ve seen them use in other recent conflicts

The communists are outside of Russia and in North America.

I have no love for Russia, but their actions in Ukraine are quite understandable from a traditional national security standpoint. Ukraine has been very corrupt and momentum toward NATO/Europe was a direct threat to Russia. It’s not like they are a beacon for democracy.

I wish the international community would suggest genuine peaceful paths forward instead of intentionally escalating this thing.

This sounds like Russian propaganda. Even Russians are protesting this
War. Sad you hate America and her Allies and would rather support claims of Putins Russian dictatorship.

Or maybe Putin just underestimated how much Ukrainians hate him and Russia are now kicking Russia’s arse?

My initial response is that I did not notice any pause & that the Kremlin has decided to join in the propaganda fun today.
