Talk about looking foolish. I've been busting him for using bad news sources for over a year. He doesn't care. All that matters is that the source supports his crazy opinions. He's not interested in the truth.

We've all heard of people being the hero of their own story but he takes it to whole new levels. I could write a thesis on this behavior.

Luckily his manipulations never work-except on himself. Another "hot date", right? Actually yes.

He's not interested in the truth. If this 'news' is wrong, I admit it's wrong. If your news is wrong, you guys never admit it's wrong. Do you see a pattern?

You know that you spent a year railing against everything Gower posted on here when he as masquerading as Zod and now you're agreeing with him, right? So what's next? namisgr and the Global Warmers were right? Dude...

This is what an ideologue looks like-if you do not agree with them down the line, you are 'on the other side' and thus 'totally wrong'. blindly dogmatic. If I agree with Gower in his assessment of Roy then I must agree with everything Namisgr says. Goofy.

Russia Has Lost Almost 90% of Its Prewar Army, U.S. Intelligence SaysWASHINGTON—The war in Ukraine has devastated Russia’s preinvasion military machine, with nearly 90% of its prewar army lost to death or injury, and thousands of battle tanks destroyed, according to a newly declassified U.S. intelligence assessment shared with Congress. The intelligence assessment, according to a congressional source, says that 315,000 Russian personnel have been killed or injured since the February 2022 invasion, or 87 percent of Moscow’s prewar force of 360,000. Russia has also lost nearly two-thirds of its tank force, or 2,200 out of its 3,500 preinvasion stock, the source said. While it is widely known that Russian President Vladimir Putin’s military has sustained vast losses in Ukraine, the assessment provides new details about the extent of those setbacks. The assessment was being made public as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky visits Washington to lobby for continued U.S. military assistance. Despite a major counteroffensive this year, Kyiv has been unable to claw back large chunks of its territory occupied by Russia. The U.S. has not released recent estimates of Ukrainian casualties, nor has the government in Kyiv. But Ukraine, with a significantly smaller population than Russia, has also lost tens of thousands of troops to death and injury, officials have acknowledged.

On this I'll agree. The US has been reporting that the war would be over in a month and for the past 20 months they've been reporting that Russia is on the ropes. They've been reporting that Russia is "crippled" financially with sanctions, meanwhile the entire EASTERN world and some of the Western world is slowly turning away from the US as the reserve currency, which is strengthening Russia and weakening the US. Further, the John Mearsheimer interview I posted a few weeks ago not only stated that Russia is fighting this war with a very light hand and is pulling it's punches but explained how and why. Now, after nearly 2 years of the US being wrong, which one looks to be more true? I think the US just keeps flexing and rattling sabres to build public support for more money from Congress to launder into the war and the public just isn't buying it anymore the way they used to. If anything, the US is in denial and just thinks it can fix things with more money. This is going to be another Viet Nam or Afghanistan.

I am wondering if the 87% refers to active military at the onset of the invasion. That "could" be easier to accept if you put it in terms of the initial invasion force and not counting reservists, those recruited after the initial invasion or from other avenues of recruitment such as they had bolstered forces with prisoners.
