re: Will Tucker have the balls to ask Putin tough questions?

I’ve been to both Russia and Ukraine as well. I have friends and relatives in both countries that I communicate with regularly. You are woefully uninformed.

Please explain how I am uninformed.

Why all the shirtless pics Vlad?

So you and Hillary are essentially talking about the same people in this largely benign world.

Why should the Russian people continue to trust you when you mistakenly invaded a country of almost 40 million with only 200,000 troops?

Despite being a large Nato army, the Ukranian-Nato forces werent proven as an army yet. I guess Putin felt they would scatter and not fight when the bullets and bombs started flying. But the Ukranian-Nato army was super well trained, super well equipped, super coordinated and had great defenses ready and analysts. They were already a Nato army. The US would never allow China to turn Mexico into an army on its border. Hell we almost went to war over Cuba.

Which brings up a better question, how extremely stupid were the people in the US that said this was a Russian army trying to invade western Europe when it was such a small force. And with all the lies western media has told about this war, there are still stupid people who regurgitate their blatantly lying talking points.

The Russians are losing hundreds of soldiers every day to advance < 1km per day or some days do not advance at all around Avdiika?

Russia pulled back because they were overstretched at the beginning. The pull back was smart and allowed them time to bring a lot more numbers into the war since they were behind in this. Also allowed them to transition to building a lot more equipment for a much longer war when they didnt get the immediate knock out punch. They were going to need a stronger war time economy to defeat all of NATO war funding and an entire nation conscripted into being soldiers.

There has been a strong momentum swing as Ukraine has begun to run out of a lot of western munitions, skilled fighters, and their ruling class begins intra fighting for control. The complete failure of the spring/summer/fall ukranian offensive has transitioned into the slowing grinding success of the Russian offensive that is seeing the Ukranian strong fortress of Avdiivka crumble before our eyes.

Clarification - Putin side of the story wasn’t being told

But I thought all of that aid was stolen and the weapons were sold?

I'm unaware of how much of the billions were stolen. Apparently enough for the west to finally admit it and sack Ukranians over. How much do you think was stolen?

all of it was stolen

I doubt anyone has said all of it was stolen. Sounds more like you don't like the fact that someone pointed out that a good bit had been stolen and tried to create a strawman out of your own hyperbole to create a weak attempt at a gotcha instead of discussing how much was stolen.

But I was wondering: If Ukraine was equipped to the point of being a NATO army like you say and it was all stolen or sold like so many on here have said, how come it has taken Russia two years and they still only control 18% of the territory? Something just doesn't add up. Either Ukraine has actually used that equipment/aid and it wasn't all stolen or so!d or Russia must have the shittiest army on Earth.

I am pretty sure that they were saying most of it was being stolen or sold. So I get it now. The ones on here that have been saying for months that all or a large portion of the aid was stolen and the military equipment was sold on the black market are full of shite otherwise the great Russian Army would have taken Kiev in 3 days.
