[quote]As of recently, that is definitely not the case. 95% of the videos Ukraine posts these days are FPV drone footage. The videos I posted were from the last 48 hours[/quote]
I'll agree to disagree on this.
FWIW, some of the FPV drone footage is pretty rough, as you're watching a human-contr...

[quote]I wonder why that is? Surely no one has any motive to portray the war and how its going in a certain light....[/quote]
I didn't ask that, I asked if you want to see more videos/images of the war.
Or should I accuse you of viewing this like a sporting event with blue and red body paint? ...

My god, you can't even criticize a jury and court officials in a criminal trial anymore? It's outrageous.
It's not like anyone would actually get put in jail for 10+ counts of criminal contempt in any other trial. ...

Do you have any idea what the ratio of Russian videos to Ukrainian videos is? ...

[quote]I don't know what a good answer is. I'm just saying that the measure of what is and is not a success for either side are goalposts that are constantly moving and changed by (and sometimes devoid of) any and all context.[/quote]
I'll offer my perspective.
First: Ukraine "surviving" is not ...

[quote]It was a major loss for Russia; however, a year later Russia appears to have recovered.[/quote]
It took Russia 8+ months of Ukraine facing sustained ammo shortages to make progress. This can't be stressed enough, especially since it still cost Russia a ton of armor/soldiers to make progress....

[quote]Are we supposed to pretend that "all of the was done" didn't happen when Europe sent over $50B? Does only American funding/support help Ukraine?[/quote]
America allocates funds in the form of weapon transfers. The $ covers the weapons that need replacement.
It's not the money that counts,...

We'll see how things develop, but the situation in the east is not ideal.
But let's keep things in perspective: Russia has gained tens of KMs in the midst of this sustained, costly offensive. Not hundreds, not thousands, tens....

But this highly edited video starts with 4 armored vehicles and ends with 1 armored vehicle.

Wow, there are some really harsh criticisms in this article.
[quote]The war is a turning-point for Russia. It has consigned Mr Putin’s regime to broad international isolation. He has also had to deal with difficult domestic political undercurrents, from the rebellion by the mercenaries of the Wa...
