Thanks WFoL. I stopped listening after 1:30 when he claimed that when Russia pulled back from Kharkiv, they didn't lose that many men or that much hardware. That's just plain denial, especially when the evidence showed a massive slaughter of Russian forces at the river. Not only that, but Kharkiv was key to Russia's strategy of encircling the Ukrainian forces in the east and choking them off. That shows the Russians aren't able to do anything but make minor gains at a few spots at a time. Of course, Russia still has a ton of resources to throw at this war. But the funny thing is, so does Ukraine. Analysts were predicting that Russia would have an advantage in the Donbas region because of its flat terrain and its favorability toward a war of attrition. Even that advantage means squat when Russian leadership and Russian tactics have been less than stellar. The only chance Russia has now is hoping that Ukraine suffered FAR greater losses than anyone has reported. It's possible, given that there are curiously very few reports of Ukrainian casualties. But given the trend, I really doubt it. Tenchusatsu

It's interesting to hear what Mr Lira has to say. A couple of points need airing regarding his status though. When he disappeared I was thinking this was either for real, in which case he really was in deep doo doo as he sings the Russian line far too clearly for the SBU to be happy with. If he was really in Kharkiv, his chances of being captured by the SBU would almost be 100%, with an uncertain outcome, and one would of thought he would be concerned about that. He doesn't look concerned at being captured by the Ukrainian intelligence forces. On the other hand, another freelance reporter on the Russian side, Patrick Lancaster does look highly concerned at times. Actually chit scared on occasion, and it's easy to understand why. That guy does seem authentic. Patrick Lancaster: Trapped By a Ukrainian Drone On The Frontline (bitchute.com) Scary stuff, and yes I would think journalists and "the press" are primary targets. I am not sure labelling "PRESS" on the amour protection is actually a good idea, just something to aim at possibly ? What is all the b/s about Scott Ritter that Mr Lira has now fallen out with ?? Scott Ritter was an able professional Nuclear Arms Reduction negotiator, and that was probably set up for a honey trap, hence his conviction. Scott Ritter, when he said Mr Lira had been murdered was probably acting on information he got from a (normally) reliable source, otherwise he would not have said such a thing. What does that tell us? When it comes to authenticiy, I know Mr Lira is a film producer and all that, ... but his reputation does not amount to a hill of beans compared to what Scott Ritter has achieved in his lifetime. I found this interview on "Global Network Against Weapons and Nuclear Power in Space", worthwhile to watch. Scott Ritter on US Withdrawal from Disarmament Treaties w/ Russia (bitchute.com) I will say what it indicates to me. Mr Lira has a contract, and is acting in that role. His employers made sure the Mr Lira story got some traction in cyberspace, and what better way then for Scott Ritter to confirm the worst? That Mr Lira had been murdered by the SBU ? Shock and horror. I believe Mr Lira's claim that a lot of journalists have been murdered by the SBU, only he was not one of them. Why? He may have been in Karkiv originally, that seems plausible, but soon had an opportunity to leave, and left. Kharkiv - Google Maps Likewise, it would be better for Mr Lira to conduct his broadcast from somewhere safe (Like Russia, its nearby to Karkiv) and that way the business can operate efficiently. Remember to dress down, look a bit scruffy and dont forget the air raid sirens. -g- I'm not a critic. It's nice to get a good source, that is unoffically official stuff, from the Russians. It's a well presented and entertaining show, and the information may be accurate in many cases. I have little doubt where it comes from though, even if Mr Lira is pro Russian but "truthful". So if "Mr Lira" does not want to be called "Gonzalo" what is his preferred name? What do we call him?? May as well keep things polite.
