It isn’t even suspect anymore. If it were real the Russian MoD would be chest thumping to extremes. Not a peep other than this rando idiots Twitter account.

The other thing about this is how many months are we in at this point in the conflict? How long does it take big bad Russia to gain victory in major combat operations against lowly Ukraine? Take away all the claims and twitter reporting from both sides - its obvious that Russia is struggling. I'd bet the mortgage Russia didn't think it would be this long and difficult.

Major Drone Attack On Moscow Damages Several Apartment Buildings | ZeroHedge

A Ukrainian official representing President Zelensky's office denied direct involvement, telling NBC News that Ukraine "has nothing directly to do" with the attacks on Moscow - however he did say he is "pleased to observe and predict an increase in the number of attacks."

Zelensky earlier this month after a series of recent cross-border attacks claimed "we don’t attack Putin or Moscow."

Had Boris Johnson not inserted himself in the situation, Russia's Plan A would have worked itself out within 30 days.

Meanwhile, the other side didn't think it would go on this long, either. Those sanctions and the "isolation" of Russia from Europe was supposed to crush the Russian economy and get Russians on the streets in 2 weeks. Now all we here about are the Russians constantly running out of missiles and the sanctions will be taking hold very shortly.

Because of course Boris Johnson was the only reason that Ukrainians didn't meet Russian soldiers with flowers and a ticker tape parade when they invaded?

Sounds like you are saying Boris Johnson is the sole reason for Russia's struggles? That's it, it can be summed up to a single person? What does THAT say about Russia, lol?

I agree, and I would also bet the mortgage that Ukraine didn't think it would last this long. The fact that it has says more about Russia than it does Ukraine or Europe. Even if Russia marches into Kyiv and declares victory over major combat operations tomorrow, this is still a loss on the international stage. You simply can't spin this and it takes no reliance on Twitter or reporting of any kind.

Ras refuses to admit that Russia has lost anything in this.

can't even admit they had to default on their defensive alliance with Armenia.
can't even admit they can't supply their current weapons deal with India.
can't admit that they are having to rely on t-55s for artillery support.
can't even admit the Moskva was sunk by Ukraine. he still parrots the story that it was a smoking accident by the crew, and that no one was killed.

Ras only applies a critical eye in one direction.

no they don't. here you go again just completely making crap up. The One China Policy doesn't say what you think it says.

China doesn't control Taiwan. never has.

This.

China most likely won't force the issue via war. They would commit economic suicide as the West would cut them off. Moreover, we'd likely be part of any actual hot war.

Not only economic suicide, but literal suicide, as China is a net importer of food.

sucks when you move your entire rural population into cities, and you don't adjust your food production to match. its almost like centralized social planning doesn't work. China really should have that figured out.

Smells like a false flag.

Support at home is waning and they need to galvanize the home front against an imaginary threat.

Scratched up a couple buildings and blew up a field.

Yawn.

I wonder how long russians will wait until they start protesting and trying ro revolt. Of course Russian people are much more tough than Americans are when it comes to suffering. Of course we'll never know the whole truth.

Well the UN projects China's population will decline like 50% by 2050, so maybe starving to death is part of the grand plan.
