    Yep and there is a key reason for this that Western mass media and governments refuse to admit: Kiev’s military losses are absolutely massive and are measured in the hundreds of thousands (of dead soldiers). The Russian military has a ten-to-one superiority in artillery and an even larger advantage in aviation and is simply blowing the Ukrainian military to smithereens. That’s why no Ukrainian man wants to get conscripted and sent to the front: it’s a literal death sentence.

      Indeed, and at this point it’s becoming blindingly clear that western backed regime is a dictatorship that’s forcing the people of the country to fight against their will.

      Indeed, the sort of stuff we’re seeing happening in places like Syria will soon become common in Europe as well. A lot of the weapons sent to Ukraine went on the black market, and a lot of the militants have direct ties to far right groups in Europe. Once they realize they’ve been used, they will inevitably seek revenge.
