News sources on the Conflict
« on: February 25, 2022, 01:26:37 PM »
I have been checking multiple sources for information on the Ukraine situation.

AlJazeera (do not have snit-fit about Aljazeera, it is not the same as it was years back) is the closet to neutral on the web.
They are fortunate to have journalists on the ground in both countries; they spoke to Russian citizens and troops.
All the people they spoke to are against the war, and some absolutely did not think it would happen.
The soldiers are doing what they are told to do and have zero desire fight in the Ukraine.


From reading-- this will be Putin's undoing, there are more who want him gone than U.S. supposed news sources indicate.

Bob’s take is similar to mine. Russian media is loosing the propaganda war at home. Russian citizens don’t believe the RT spin of Federation troops liberating joyful Ukrainians from genocidal Nazi’s.

Russian troops not ginned up to fight what Putin called brothers just a week ago. Take down of Ukraine behind schedule. Putin now deploying Muslim Chechen troops.

Ukraine not folding like a house of cards. Major miscalculation by the former KGB operative.

Hopefully maybe the Russians will take a page from the Romanians book and hang that little commie mad man (Puttin) like the Romanians did their commie idiot Ceausescu.
