The Russian military has lost control over the oil and gas platforms off the coast of Crimea as Ukraine continues to gain stronger military control over the ...

Many great tidbits, and interesting how Jake says Russia moved troops from Donetsk to the south to defend the breached defense line. And now we hear Ukraine is progressing towards Donetsk. 😀

    I think Jake Broe has been spot on with his past 2 videos, so I decided to share them here.

      Jake is a good one. Artur Rehi is solid too.

      I wouldn’t go to them for perfectly unbiased reporting or anything, but that’s not what they’re for. They’re specifically trying to be pro-Ukrainian news, and that’s fine. They don’t pretend to be otherwise or anything.

      I like that Artur was a former infantryman, so much like Ryan MacBeth, he can often give that soldier-on-the-ground perspective on things. Jake, if I remember right, was former Air Force, and tends to have more of a strategic and less of a tactical view. I assume because of his background and training.

    Is putting the face of that parasite front and center absolutely necessary?
    Haven’t we seen that mediocre infuriating face enough already?

    Maybe they could replace it with a flag, or a cartoon of some generic russian asshole general swigging a bottle of vodka, I don’t know. But that goddamned mediocre infuriating face is clickbait triggering, and just like with the nihilistic orange conman, I will not watch any video nor enter an article that thrusts it in our eyeballs yet again for the ten thousandth time, as if we’ve never seen it before and we don’t get the goddamned point.

      I understand why you are tired of seeing his ugly face all the time, but I think many use his face because this war is the responsibility of Putin personally.

        Also, there is always a text bubble to hold him responsible for his atrocities.

        It’s a form of criticism to hold the criminal accountable. That’s fair.

      It’s just a thumbnail. It’s there to make impact on those…less interested. For those of us that are, well, it’s just a thumbnail. Click the triangle or X and problem gone.

      There are two faces that people are extremely tired of, and Yevgeny Viktorovich Prigozhin isn’t one of them.
