Ukraine is going to run out of men any day now
They have no more tanks
They have no more manpower
It's just a propaganda win
They only retook Kiev, Kharkov, Kherson, Sumy, Chernigov
Russia still has Pavlovka, Lisichansk, and mariupol
Anyway the west will collapse, anyway Russia will retake Nikolayev
It's a 6d chess move, fucking with their heads
Hahahahhhahahahahah
Tell you what Archie, I am just going to leave this story about the withdrawal from Belarus after last February's exercises here. Yeah, I've seen this story before. Because of the censorship and cancel culture in the USA, I am unable to show the RT videos of tanks and troops on trains going back to their bases in Russia but man they sold that one hard. Its one of the reasons that, for a couple months, Russian troops were able to park just outside of Kiev. Again, I can't find the video on Ukrainetube, what I can make fun of a platform that suppresses dissent, but I did some searching on RT. Read this article, does anything look vaguely familiar?

Also, I don't recall major announcements or evacuations of people made so publically from around Kiev, Sumy, and Kharkov, I remember more during the night Russian forces withdrew and the next day Ukraine proclaimed the most glorious Wehrmacht victory since the fall of France in 1940. I don't remember proclamations of we're leaving. We pulled out, we aren't here, our administrators left, we pulled people back to safety, its yours, please don't attack us while we are retreating. Please, come on. Its yours if you want to and we are most certainly and positively not there.
Second, Kadryov and Surovikin are not the type of guys who get on TV and start explaining tactics and how pulling back to protect supply lines is the only good option available. Now maybe its just the copium (1 part Russkova vodka, 1 part limoncello, 2 parts sprite), but things are not at all what they seem here. There's either one hell of a deal with lots of assurances in writing that Putin's pre war aims have been achieved and Ukraine is going to be forever neutral (hey its possible, not likely but possible), that things are F'd up beyond all repair and the Russian army and state are on the verge of collapse and Navalny will take power (again its possible, but not likely), its possible that Putin is going to go to G 20 and he'll look into Zelensky's Eyes and they'll start a duet where they sing Why can't we be friends, or its because the Ukrainians have every right to be suspicious and there is soon going to be an offensive (possible, and considering the way the SMO began with similar proclamations of pullback its also the most likely). These are interesting times and the next couple weeks will be very telling about the future of this conflict.
