1 Since Ukraine sent ~ 300 and another Wildberries is burning, Engels airbase is hit again and several more oil pumping stations and 1 refinery in Omsk was hit, I'd say someone at Rantburg not only works for Vladimir Putin, they are as pathetic at pr as he has become.
Question is, why do Americans suck that Russian ass??Are all of you weirdos caught up in Epstein's pedophile honeytrap like Trump?

Still complaining that presenting information from both sides is showing favouratism to Russia? You long since became a bore on the subject, my dear, though the first part of your first sentence is exactly the kind of useful summary our readers come to Rantburg for. We know you object, we don’t care because we find the balance useful, and if it bothers you then skip over the articles you find offensive to get to the ones you clearly keep coming back to read.

Under the circumstances, a small donation to keep a site you value going would not go amiss.

4 I have wondered about these posts as well, but not from a pro- or anti- standpoint. It's just such a meaningless number. Who cares how many punches you threw. How many landed?
