Oh yes you’re such a pacifist I’m sure that’s your only motive. 
 

Russia and Russia alone is to blame for Russia’s actions, which Russia chose to take. 

It is my only motive Beave. I wouldn't send our troops or money to support either side. Would you?

Saudi Arabia's energy minister at an OPEC+ press conference declined to talk to a Reuters reporter accusing Western news agency of lying.

 

 

Ah, Bone Saw bin Salman. Another guy who makes opponents disappear. A man after your dear leader's heart. Nuf said.

Saudi Arabia & Russia are preparing a joint attack on United States! This reported by two American publications at same time. Financial Times & The Hill:a significant reduction in oil production is planned,which will increase the world prices of black gold & US gasoline prices.

There’s a good chance that the Ukrainian invasion ends with the Russian people forcing Putin to take an emergency helicopter ride into exile in Saudi or one of the other Persian Gulf states under his influence. That’s where all the world’s villains and ousted despots flee to live out their lives (if they manage to survive at all):  in a guided cage under the thumb of the House of Saud, a luxurious compound filled with machine-gun toting bodyguards and a harem full of globally trafficked sex slaves, all of whom are loyal to the Prince in Riyadh and report your every move and conversation.  I guess for some, that’s preferable to facing a Russian firing squad, given Russian troops’ poor performance in Ukraine you could be chained to that post for quit a while before anyone finally manages to inflict a fatal wound

Reality is that the Russian Army is well equipped. As well equipped as the other guys and more-so. But if it cheers you up to to think it's still 1942, yourself...have at it...it's a privilege of war.

?

You don't have evidence that they're well equipped. 

Ukraine is well equipped thanks to NATO.

1) Well considering that the Russian military can’t seem to stop turning its equipment over to the Ukrainians during their retreats and surrenders, if the Russians are well equipped then so are the Ukrainians. 
 

2) Also, Russian inventory is getting quite low, the Kremlin recently announced a pause in the induction of new conscripts due to lack of basic equipment.  And you can’t just order up 1,000 replacement tanks overnight. The Russians have already resorted to deploying ancient, de-mothballed T-62s that are over 50 years old to the front. 
 

3) While some Russian units may still he reasonably equipped on paper, they are poorly supplied and have been since the start of the conflict because Russian supply and logistics are generally corrupt and incompetent to begin with and also because no logistical planning was done for this conflict ahead of time since they thought they would rill into Kyiv unopposed at the beginning. Now they are trying to retrofit a logistics and supply chain into a conflict that is almost 8 months old while their forces are in retreat and the flimsy supply routes they do have  are under constant bombardment and guerrilla attacks.  It’s like trying to redesign and rebuild an aircraft while you are flying it. 
A state-of-the-art tank unit with virtually no fuel or ammo and whose crews have been living on half-rations for weeks is not a combat-effective unit.

These reports of non-stop victory are coming from where?

I call BS you’re no pacifist.

 

I would definitely continue sending money to help David keep pushing Goliath out of Ukraine 

Beave...not wanting to fry the population of the planet is NOT a "pacifist" position.

Its a HUMAN position.

Everywhere. 

This report isn't opinion. It's reporting things Putin is on record saying.

Quote

Putin’s comments comes amid increasingly gloomy commentary from Russian war correspondents and military bloggers over the severity of the situation that has seen a large-scale withdrawal from the Kharkiv region, the loss of the strategic town of Lyman on Friday and Ukrainian advances in the Kherson region.

They're quoting a video call Putin has made. 

 

So you actually know everything about this conflict. That's very impressive. Victory must be just around the corner if all that you claim is true. When will it be?

Awe Muffin! Someone's projecting. 

Can bear the fact that Putin might be losing.

Indeed. Spectators at a UFC event.

 

One of them wanted proof that the Russian army is well equipped. I have to stand in awe at the effectiveness of the Western media at convincing people that war with Russia will be a walk in the park.

What? The Guardian? LOL.

Putin APPEARS to admit...blah blah, woof woof.

Libbies...truely "bent" people. They bend genders...and they bend what people say. Truth and dry facts are completely foreign to...The Guardian.
