John it is always good with people who dare go against the mainstream even if that is unpopular. Yet you either must have heavy bias or greatly enjoy being a contrarian, because you are extremely selective in your narrative in order to paint a picture which does not fit reality:

1. You write only about land and territory taken. You utterly ignore the heavy losses Russia has taken. Russia cannot keep up losses like this week after week and win this war.

2. You talk about territory size but ignore how flat it is. Flat land like this has generally through history been relatively easy to conquer as there are no natural barriers for defenders to utilize.

3. You swallow Russian propaganda by suggesting taking Kiev was a diversion. You don't push in that many forces and take that heavy losses to do a diversion. That is not how a diversion works.

4. As popular in Russian and Chinese media you characterize all of the Azov batallion as Nazis. No, some are. About 20%. There are KKK and white nationalists in the US police as well. Does that make it fair to characterize the whole US police force as KKK? Azov batallion has numerous Jews as members. That kind of undermines the whole argument that Azov is predominantly a Nazi organization.

5. Yes, I have heard about attrocities by the likes of Azov, but you seem to ingore how Russia sent in troops into Donbas and formented an insurection. These attrocities followed after attrocities and insurection formented by Russia in Ukraine. The way you present this info it is as if Russia had to move in to save Russians from crimes initiated by Ukraine. No, it doesn't excuse Ukrainian behavior but you cannot leave out of your story who started all of this.

6. You speak consistently of Western propaganda but don't actually provide any kind of evidence for why the reporting in Western media is wrong and why your take is correct. I am pretty sure all of what you write is based on reports in Western media and not some independent non-Western media, whomever that may be.
