Simply not true. Border areas have been taken by the Russians and another major Ukrainian stronghold Kostyantynivka is on the brink.

There have been shifts in grey zone where Ukrainians managed to reduce the grey zone not the area shown in red (occupied by Russia).

Does that make you happy?

The principal thing, my dear, is that every Ukrainian is delighted by it. And I am delighted by their delight.

Reality is what matters and this has always been the case whether you like it or not.

Has nothing to do with me, why are you even trying

But the reality u r describing is.. let's say.. creative.

And if you don't admit to personal feelings - it makes you sound like a...
Machine! A robot!
Ever heard of the Russian bot army?

They're the first to weaponize false information in a new form of warfare. Very, very sophisticated!
Wow, did I just meet one?

That would be sooo cool. May u pm me an autograph pls

Multiple mappers show what is happening on the ground including Ukraine's official source Deepstate.

Did you know Deepstate was showing ever increasing grey zones because they didn't want to show the territory in red?

Now in most cases Ukrainian advances only reduce the large grey zones that they were showing on their map...

Soviet manpower bore the brunt of the fighting,
American industrial aid via the Lend-Lease Act ($11+ billion in supplies, worth nearly $200 billion today) was the irreplaceable backbone that kept the USSR from collapse.
The critical numbers behind the U.S. intervention include:
400,000+ Trucks and Jeeps: Supplied by the U.S., making up nearly 1/3 of the entire Soviet logistics fleet by 1945 and providing the vital mobility needed for counter-offensives.
1,900 Locomotives & 622,000 Tons of Steel Rails: Kept the Soviet railway network running after the USSR completely halted its own train production to focus on tanks.
2.5 Million Tons of Aviation Fuel: Fueled the vast majority of Soviet fighter planes; without this high-octane American fuel, the Soviet air force would have been largely grounded.
4.5 Million Tons of Food: Fed a starving nation and military after the USSR lost its primary agricultural lands to the German advance.
As Joseph Stalin himself stated flatly at the Tehran Conference in 1943: "Without the machines we received through Lend-Lease, we would have lost the war.

Good point and even the Soviets themselves acknowledge that aid was crucial because the USSR was fighting the best army in the world at the time, well trained / equipped and highly motivated.

The allies understood they had no choice other than to provide aid or they would have to fight these superior divisions themselves would the USSR collapse.

Now the point is that nobody in the West acknowledges the sacrifices of the red army and the civilians in the USSR while they were responsible for the majority of the losses of Nazi Germany it's a simple fact.

this conversation devolved over the years from "the soviets dont get the credit the deserve" to "the USA did nothing, it was really Russia who won the war".

There were so many moving pieces, Germany pushed into Russia in the first place because of pressure on the western front. Hitler foolishly thought he could handle the Soviets before winter set in fully to stop them before their industrialization would crush him.

Hitler got smooshed between two great powers, Soviets paid an insane cost in lives and were crucial on both the eastern and western theaters just like the USA. i think its accurate to say we have no idea of the allies could have won without both Russia and the USA in the war. And its almost 100% sure that the allies would have lost to a Germany, Japan, Italy, Russia alliance. German weaponry with Russian soldier count would have been insane. Toss in Italy's gains in jets towards the end of the war and we might have been screwed.

Is this Iran deal better because Obamas name isn't on it?
