    Reality of war has a Russian bias at the moment unfortunately.

    El Pais doesn’t treat war like a movie but is that a bad thing? I haven’t heard them being described as mass media, more commonly it’s called a leftist rag.

    Can you point out any factual inaccuracies? How is that bias presenting?

      I was just enjoying reading the comments, but “Reality of war has a Russian bias at the moment”?

      Are you talking of their casuality rates, their supplies now donkey run, their loss of artillery firing advantage, their demographics or many more

      Or are you talking about the few kilometeres they have crawled into ukraine this year? You know, the literally slower than a snail pace they’re going.

      (I don’t know nothing about the source’s bias or anything there tho)

        I meant that Ukraine is now retreating from Kursk and therefore it looks like Russia has the advantage there. Yes, I am aware that Russia advances are basically a crawl but there’s no denying that Ukraine won’t hold parts of Kursk which they hoped to use as a bargaining chip in negotiations.

          I prefer to call them joint Russian/North Korean advances, because Russia needs to buy slaves from a pariah state to make any significant gains. As I understand, NK troops are only present in Kursk.

            They probably don’t care what we call them, they have no shame. Funny thing is, we have NK slaves working in EU in plain sight as well. There’s been a report couple of years ago from Poland that got some international coverage but this has not ended then and those reports keep popping up to this day. Oh, the joys of living in a capitalist hellhole.

          Yes, which is the only metric that seemingly the world and it’s news care about…

          Not the fact that by doing this Russia has destroyed it’s vast military equipment reserves from the Sovietunion, gutted it’s navy, airforce and so forth

          But yes, it is quite unfortunate - especially as it is giving putin the means to dictate the “ceasefire” that his lapdog (trump) is giving him
