It's weird how you only post stuff critical of ukraine. One might think you have an agenda.
- The dude has the flag of the DDR as his profile picture. German tankies are a particularly special breed of stupid, with all that the opening of the STASI archives revealed about the horrible shit going on under Sowjet rule.
  
  Stalin definitely should not have stopped at Berlin 😁
- I jusy went over their posts and maybe 20 percent cover Ukraine, most are jusr critical of US and most are widely accepeted western news sites ( ft, economist, independent ).
  
  I counted his posts and he has 24 non duplicate posts. Of those 10 are critical of ukraine. The rest seem to be anti-vax or anti-us. 10/24= 41% So almost half of his posts are critical of ukraine. Also widely accepted sources doesn't change the fact that this OP has an obvious agenda. Weird that you would try to defend him with disinformation though. Isn't that a common authoritarian trick?
- Financial Times is Russian propaganda!
- There's so much Kremlin and CCP disinformation on Lemmy I've stopped recommending it to anyone. Really a shame.
  
  The only way to deal with it is to smother it with people who are aware of the disinformation, though.
  
  News can be disinformation? Does that mean the US does it too?
- It’s hard to not post bad news about Ukraine, it’s not like their counteroffensive is going well right? 😅
  
  Funny how all you tankies have been saying the same thing since the war began. Yet ukraine is still in it and advancing. So odd. Almost like all you tankies want people outside the warzone to ignore ukraine and give up, stop sending arms. I'm sure that's all a coincidence though.
- As if being pro-war is not an agenda. Lol
  
  Trying to frame supporting the right of Ukraine to defend themselves against an illiegal invasion, genocide, torture, rape and all manner of other war crimes as "being pro-war" needs a very special kind of brain damage...
the Afghanistan war enters the chat
- Which one? The graveyard of empires does not play favorites.
I doubt the title of this article very much. Ukraine is getting F-16's and probably JAS-39 Gripens very soon. Offensives and counteroffensives have to be slow and methodical by nature against entrenched forces, otherwise you'll take massive losses for very little gains.
Ukraine is on its way to gaining air superiority, and more vehicles and air defense is coming into their forces every month, and the longer this conflict lasts, the more likely it is that they'll gain more advantages over Russia as the sanctions keep draining them.
The lack of air superiority is hampering what Ukraine can do, and once that issue's settled, I think we'll start seeing more steady progress. Plus in the wide world, Japans and South Korea are settling their differences over WW2 and will probably keep cooperating, and part of that will be to send more stuff to Ukraine in order to help win there so they don't have to fight WW3 with China over Taiwan.
It's not just the West that supports Ukraine, it's also the Democratic parts of Asia.
Why is this a Imgur link lol?
- FT is extremely paywalled
- Because FT are paywalled cunts.
  
  Are you upset that they want to get paid for the content they create?
If you get your world news from Financial Times, you need your head examined.
Edit: Also, some chucklehead from RAND Corp isn't anyone that matters as far as this is concerned. This is a puff piece to increase the value of MI stocks.
