    Okay so i have to clarify here, this is a joke title. As far as military summary channels go this one is not that bad, it has actually been fairly neutral (not that that’s necessarily a good thing, but they’re Singaporean so they have a complicated relationship to the anti-US camp) in covering the conflict, and some minor clickbait-y sensationalism aside they admit in most of what they post the obvious, which is that Russia is clearly winning and advancing, and that this is a trend that is going to continue.

    The guy tweeted about exactly this video title telling the pro-Russia viewers to basically chill, this video just covers specifically the one day in a very long time when Russia didn’t make any advances (according to him) while Ukraine made some very minor regains (this is completely normal and it’s why i always tell people don’t obsess about the most minute day to day shifts of the front line); these are likely to be reversed in a few days anyway.

    Don’t get me wrong, there are tons of channels out there that unironically post videos with titles like this, and yes the pro-Ukraine social media crowd really does live in an alternate reality (with very few exceptions), but this channel isn’t one of those.
