1st of all, Presstv.ir is Iranian state tv, so LOL, LMAO even.
2nd of all, no

The long-awaited Ukrainian counter-offensive is now finally here - though it does not seem to be very successful
However, instead of penetrating past the Russian defenses, Ukraine has been struggling.
Nearly a week into the counter-offensive, only minuscule gains have been made
Not only is it a military defeat for Ukraine, but it is a marketing catastrophe for NATO.

Ever since he counteroffensive began Putin and his ilk have been squealing like rabid little rats, trying their best to demoralize Ukraine and Ukraine's partners.
That'd be Uncle Vova's wettest dream, that's what he hopes for right now, to hold on until Ukraine's partners start to give up on their support.
Ain't gonna happen, you slimy little rats.

typical shitlib, afraid of any other opinion outside of white state media

Sorry, I don't tend to value the "opinions" of employees of a Islamist theocracy that beats, rapes and kills people because they show too much keratin and that displeases their mass-murdering pedo-god.
But, by all means, if women beaters are your preferred crowd, you're free to roleplay as their western keyboard warrior.

That being said, feel free next time to also address the content of my comment, not just do some cheap ad hominem attacks.
I look forward to watching more of your ilk squirm and squeal as Ukrainians liberate more and more land from imperialist, genocidal Russian invaders.

Kisses.

@redditors_re_racist again? I think almost every month I read the same "news".

The article tries to link the defence budget of the US to stuff like the gutting of BBB and decreasing access to food stamps. But in reality they're not linked. They're using the pre-defined arms budget of the state and dedicating it to funding the Ukrainian Armed Forces. There is no F-16 being delivered that could have been used to feed a person in the US or vice versa. First time I've heard of "Belograd" as well, maybe the author meant Belgorod hehe.

I hope he does. I'm tired, as a taxpayer, of having my money be used to fund murder. The USA's position is not to end the war as soon as possible, it's to win by any means necessary, including prolonging it. This is done with complete disregard for the lives of Ukranians and Russians alike. Biden, and those influencing this decision, are not benevolent humanists here who want to do what needs to be done to save lives; they are greedy capitalists who see the potential money to be gained here: immediately in the form of MIC spending, and longer term in the form of extracting wealth and installing "friendly" regimes that assist in that. The USA is quickly becoming a victim of the gambler's fallacy here: "we've thrown so much money at it that it's bound to turn in our favor soon, so we have to keep throwing more money at it; to stop now would be to waste what we've put in". Even if that did hold up from a monetary perspective, it ignores the human cost that prolonging the war incurs.

the sick joke is that the US can't even win just by funneling arms to an increasingly decrepit ukrainian regime. the only way to win is to intervene directly, which triggers WWIII. the ukrainians want this but the americans are content to make them do the bleeding and tease them with the prospect

Looks like the Russian disinformation accounts are getting busy on Lemmy.
