Quote:Here is a blog post by a British guy who lives in China. I cannot vouch that is 100% accurate, but it might make sense for you to read something by someone who is actually there. He gives links to other sites. Many of the sources I see, both independent (non-corporate) anglophone media and media from Chinese-speakers, corroborate what he's saying.The China shilling on this site is freaking amazing Quote:You have to be very careful with Falun Gong sources. They are big on Q-Anon, they say that evolution is a lie, they are big pro-Trump people. Japanese people tend to lump them in with other new religions like the Moonies.Says the person who falls for every Anti-West Anti American conspiracy on the net. Your lack of self-awareness is truly amazing. Quote:Why do you think this will make me happy? Do you think I am in favor of forced labor?At this point, if it defended your position yes I think you would defend forced labor if it was China or Russia doing it. Quote:Believe you on what? That China is Orwellian?It freaking is Quote:And no one is surprised that Ukrainian soldiers are in bad condition in Bakhmut. Ukraine is losing badly.False. Even if Russia manages to take the city it might as well be a defeat for the ungodly losses they have taken for a worthless pile of rubble that will be difficult to defend from counter-attacks and they have not even come close to anything essential in Ukraine. If you call Ukraine losing badly you need to have your head checked. See I actually can give reasons why Russia is losing all you can do is proclaim Ukraine is losing. Just more nonesense

Ukraine is inflicting a casualty rate on russia somewhere between 5-1 and 7-1, depending on who you believe, in bakhmut. It's estimated that a rate of 2-1 holds for the conflict overall since 2014. The KIA-WIA within those rates are assessed to be much higher for russian forces, due to a lack of adequate combat medical gear. If that's what it looks like when ukraine is losing, then it's worse for russia than anyone imagined.

I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Leave aside the massive loss of manpower/equipment, the loss of Russia’s status as a near-peer, and the exposure of the inadequacies endemic in the Russian military. Since Putin’s rationalization for this mess was his opposition to NATO expansion, I think he’d be stunned by how quickly Turkey and Hungary drop their objections to new admissions. If you fail to achieve your stated objectives, you’ve lost the war. Boru

After 300 pages Bel was not able to make that simple statement, probably knowing how asinine that would sound. Yet thats what he is trying (not) to say for the past 100 pages, without saying it out loud.
