That gobshite Ewan? Unfortunately a stopped clock is right twice a day and that may ring true here!

Yeah I read another take on it which was not quite so optimistic. Have to be wary what you believe her like you say as there's a lot of propaganda either way. Hope that's just paranoia and the main news is correct mind you.

There is war and then there is the propaganda war. Both important.

He is in pretty deep

Ukraine is being helped a lot in terms of arms resupply by the West. Maybe this is making a difference.

Fox news analysis on Friday that the Ukrainians were getting whipped south of Kharkiv.

today is full of tweets of Ukrainians in towns right at the Russian border in Kharkiv oblast, the equivalent of Culloville or Belleek in Ukraine, which were captured an hour after the Russians invaded in February.
And the Ukrainians continue to make less dramatic gains towards Kherson.

Not sure if you are being sarcastic or stupid there....

Faux News are decidedly Pro-Russian.

Because the Democrats are Pro-Ukraine.

That's how bad they've got.

Nobody knows how long the war is going to last. The big powers limit the amount of help they will provide because they don't want to go to war against Russia.
Ukraine wants more help . It's a mess.

It's amazing the way he has systematically adopted a contrarian position on every topic ever and yet try to maintain its a genuinely held belief. Wonder what his next long term genuinely held belief will be? Doubt he knows.

It is some craic when Covid is brought up - he was yapping about Cheltenham being on when Covid first broke and how it was going to kill so many people and should have been cancelled/lockdown.
Then he changed tack completely and now saying he was against lockdowns form the beginning.

Is it the case that he can't get work as a journalist anywhere and he has spotted a niche to be as antagonistic and controversial as possible on Twitter in order to develop a profile? Either way he has built up a small group of sycophants for himself so he knows what he is at to stay relevant. I didn't actually mind him when he was doing sports journalism but when he started getting involved in social issues, health and world politics he began straying way out of his comfort zone. I still find it funny how he manages to take the contrarian view on absolutely every issue possible.

Far from alone on the contrarian view these days. Or "critical thinkers" as they like to call themselves

Ukraine has vowed to liberate all of its territory after driving back Russian forces in the northeast of the country.
Kyiv has also called on the West to speed up deliveries of weapons to back its advance.

l think he has a subscription base on the go via Patreon or some such set up for his musings.
