- It's not like this is some well-coordinated effort. There's some branch of Ukrainian interests trying recruit noobs online. Then when the noobs actually show up, other Ukrainians who have no idea they're being recruited say hey you want to fight for us great have we got a job for you, follow me. There's no grand conspiracy to recruit and send them as cannon fodder. They just know they need help, and when help arrives shit is too frantic to have time to train, or equip, or prepare anybody.

- If you think propaganda is surprising, by any side, you've never studied war. It has existed, on all sides, in every damn conflict in human history.

- If you misread Chico's post and thought he was defending Russia, you're as dumb as Chico is. Chico's post was rational, despite how dumb he is.

It's war. It's dirty, nobody fights completely cleanly when their lives are on the line. But nobody's defending Russia, except Tucker Carlson and right wing idiots who believe in Russian fake news propaganda targeted at the US. But nobody mentioned Tucker Carlson in the first place.

Idiots everywhere.

First , that's Mr Moron to you! . I read chico's post the same way as punch, now if he meant it in a different way then he needs to go back to school becuase it came across differently! I do agree with you and have been saying this since day one. There is no way putin can save face he is a cornerd dog and will fight like one. He just bombed a theater that was housing 1000 women and children and was marked as such,.......they are all dead. Thing is people need to remember this is putins war not a war of the Russian people and it's a big reason the russians are having so much trouble ...his troops are deserting !
