    Show me you don’t read without telling me so.

      Unlike you, not only do I read western media extensively, I also have reading comprehension to understand what it’s been saying.

        Oddly enough, saying you comprehend different from actual comprehension.

        Most Western media has been “well, Ukraine’s fucked.” “Long term, can Ukraine survive this war?”

        Are you getting confused between individual battlefield/operational success versus the strategic reality?

          For three whole years western media promised that Russia was on the verge of collapse both militarily and economically. They said that Russia is running out of weapons, that Russian troops fight with shovels, that Russian economy is in shambles. Turns out that literally all of it was complete and utter bullshit. Now we’re finally entering the stages where it’s no longer possible to pretend that the west can possibly win the war, and the real world is finally starting to slowly seep through the walls of the media bubble western media created.

          The only one deeply confused here is you apparently.

            Lol, show me an article that said Russia was on the brink of military collapse and I’ll show you an article you’ve misunderstood (or some non reputable journalism.)

                Even just a casual glance through some of these shows they do not say what you think they do.

                Choose one, your favourite or whatever, tell me exactly why you think it means Russia’s military was collapsing and I’m happy to explain what the article is actually saying.

                Edit: best hurry if you want a response soon. Once my build is deployed, I’m done here for the night. And you are not interesting enough to bother with in my free time.

                  I don’t care about your response, I posted these to illustrate how utterly full of shit you are. The fact that you just keep digging is frankly amazing. Since you’re evidently overwhelmed by the evidence against your claim, I’ll pick a random one for you here. Go ahead and give it your best spin, I can’t wait to be entertained https://www.foreignaffairs.com/russian-federation/putin-last-stand-russia-defeat

                    When you say you read and comprehend, are you talking about just the tagline, or are you really claiming you read this article and think it supports your claim that

                    For three whole years western media promised that Russia was on the verge of collapse both militarily and economically.

                    Maybe reread the first four paragraphs and try again? Or, double down but, uhhh, that seems pretty silly.

        Good words to remember!

        On this one, it’s a little fun to kinda bully someone being a silly Billy. But I’ve got a note on him so if I encounter in the wild, I just ignore, giggle and move on.
