Not sure what world you are living in, but.
Luhansk is nearing 100% Russian control, Donetsk is now falling at a faster pace, Crimea is still under Russian control, all the territory Ukraine retook in 2023 in the Zaporizhia region is now back under Russian control, Russia is firmly inside Toretsk, Vuhledar is now cut off from supplies, Russia has taken back large parts of Kursk and progressing to encircle Ukrainian troops in the north already forcing a retreat in many areas.
I cannot understand how you can look at a map today and one from last month and think "Ukraine is winning" or "Russia is losing", unless you just like to feel good despite reality.

A simple question.
How or what is being able to fire a few missiles deeper into Russia going to make any difference at the front lines?
Ukraine has been able to do this in the south from the start, it fires into Crimea, etc.. regularly but Russia keeps advancing in the south east.
Ukraine went into Kursk and now it is losing even more territory in the south and lost more territory than it took in Kursk and the Russians are now approaching operational encirclement of Ukrainian troops in the North of Kursk.
In the South Russia is fully inside Toretsk about to capture the last Ukrainian stronghold, Vuhledar is in operational encirclement with the last supply route now cut. This information is from Ukrainian sources.
Russia has destroyed multiple HIMARS in the Zaporizhia area which now lets Russian bombers drop FAB deeper into the area hitting the main supply hub that previously it had to use more expensive missiles to do this.
In Kursk the Russians haven't even sent in their main regional forces, still holding back 30,000 to 50,000 men (according the USA DOD ).
Firing a few of the limited amount of missiles Ukraine has deeper will do little to help at the front lines, the southern battlefield has already shown this.
The western News, whoops and hollers, at the pinpricks missiles hits by Ukraine then ignores the reality of the advances Russia is making.
How many times are people here and the MSM going to push the *miracle weapon " the "game changer" narrative while ignoring the facts on the ground.
Challenger tank "game changer "
Leopard tanks" game changer ".
Abraham's tank, "game changer "
HIMARS"game changer "
F16 " game changer "
Over and over again and nothing has changed, Russia is still advancing and taking more territory.

Captured Russian military plans,
Yes I am sure these are real I mean, some officer was running around Ukraine with the full plans and everything.
Seriously you believe that?
You must still believe the ghost of Kiev shot down hundreds of Russian planes.
Remember, Ghost of Kiev, remember zaporizhia offensive has broken through Russian lines heading to Crimea, remember Bakhmut Russia is losing, remember Mariupol will never surrender and fight to the last man, etc...
Yeah "captured" plans by Ukraine, totally believable.

Russia in the past few months has blown up multiple Ukrainian dumps Taken down several Ukrainian jet, and advanced in every front increasing territory to the point of surpassing the vaunted Kursk offensive the news went crazy about.
Russia is now firmly inside Toretsk, been on the offensive and pushing Ukraine back and encircling Ukraine troops in Kursk. Doing the same in multiple places in Donetsk, Luhansk, even taking territory in Krinki, all confirmed by Ukraine.

Posted in: Elon Musk has often inflamed politically tense moments, raising worries for the US election See in context
So what!
They all do it, all sides spread baseless rumours about who or what they don't like.
Musk is a single person, not running for office and people can ignore him.
But when you have the VP candidate at the DNC followed by half a dozen new talking heads repeating a long debunked false incident about Vance and a sofa, well no problem, when the MSM and the presidential candidate constantly repeat the same inflammatory "threat to democracy" " wannabe dictator" etc... suddenly none of that has anything to do with assassination attempts.
The lack of logic is beyond comprehension, so if Musk say it, if Trump says it then it is dangerous, irresponsible and the cause of anything that happens. But if the left Media says it, Harris, Biden, Walz push false information or Stoke fears and people act on it, well suddenly nothing they said had anything to do with what happens.
This seems to apply across the board on the left and far left.
"Get out in the streets protests the police" followed by a wink and dog whispers and then violence breaks out looting, burning, etc...
Then they say "it wasn't us" "we didn't tell them to riot" and they sure didn't tell them not to or to stop.
Here is a clear way the left and media distort information.
If you listen to the leaders and MSN they will tell you that left protests are 95% peaceful and right are 40% violent.
What they don't point out the the number of violent protests.
Example in 2020 their were around 500 right wing protests/events (call them what you like) and around 200 ended in violence when counter protesters showed up.
But in the left side that same year there were 10,000 to 15,000 depending on who is collecting the data and how they classify "protests/demonstration" of those well over 500 became violent.
And property damage was in exponentially higher in the left protests/demonstration than the right wing ones.
So, Musk can spew whatever he wants, odds are some Left supporter, candidate, Reverend, activist leader, will say something and a good left protests will happen and streets will burn as ANTIFA and the like burn a few McDonald's and banks loot a few stores and MSM will make excuses along with Democrats.

@Antiquesaving,

You need to read properly.
Harris and her cohorts
She never condemns her cohorts that has said he is Hitler Stalin etc..
She has said all the following and much more.
“the profound threat”
. “Understand what dictators do. Dictators jail journalists. Dictators suspend elections. Dictators take your rights.”
“witnessing a full on attack on hard-won, hard-fought freedoms and rights,”
And plenty more and the above was from one just one of her speeches.
But hey lets all pretend that calling Trump a danger to democracy and a dictator like she did and does has zero influence.
You really have to live in a Fantasy world to think all this constant "danger" " dictator" etc... has no impact.
She says these thing precisely because they have an impact.
And then she acts all surprised when someone takes it at face value and tries to kill Trump.
If she really believes her comments and those of her cohorts don't inspire people to do what these 2 men did, then she is one of the stupidest people on the planet.

Okay, I'll use Harris and your own logic.
So Trump makes remarks about Haitians and everyone says this is going to bring violence and hatred and danger to the Haitians.
But Harris, Biden, you and everybody else on their side turns around and says Trump is the biggest danger in the face of this planet. And then you feign surprise and say
"oh we're not connected to these attempts to kill him. Where would you get that idea?"
I doubt you are able to see any logic through your hat covered glasses.

More than 40000 people were killed in gun violence Blah blah blah.....
Deflection nothing but deflection.
Guns are Major problem in the USA but are they the reason someone tried to kill Trump? No.
Did Trump make stupid and nasty remarks about Harris, Biden, etc...? Yes
Did he accuse them at every chance of being a danger to democracy, a wannabe dictator, etc....? No
There is a big difference between calling Biden " sleepy Joe" etc.. and Harris "not Black" or even calling to lock Clinton up, and telling everyone and anyone that will listen " he is a danger to democracy" "America as we know it is in danger if he wins" " he is a wannabe authoritarian" etc...
What Trump says regardless how stupid it may be is not on the same level as what Harris and her supporters say, stupid comments (Trump) vs fear mongering (Harris etc...).

despite his own long history of inflammatory campaign rhetoric and advocacy for jailing or prosecuting his political enemies.
As much as I don't like Trump or Harris, there is a huge difference between says you are going to jail opponents (which he didn't do during his term even after all his blustering) and going around at every opportunity insinuating or directly saying Trump is a danger to democracy.
The Dems, Biden, Harris all have a single answer to a y Question : "Trump is a danger to democracy "
Anyone that watched to DNC and every thing was Trump is a danger, they didn't need to put out any policies or say what the plan on doing, just one speaker after another saying Trump is a danger to democracy.
And anyone that says this isn't true is as delusional as the guy that wanted to shoot Trump.

Just how many Haitians have arrived here remains unclear. Estimated at as many as 20,000 in the letter Vance read to Powell, city officials have since cut that to between 12,000 and 15,000 based on driver's license and state identification data.
Note how they "cut " the number based on "driver's licence and stare database"
Now do all the new arrivals have a car and or a driver's license?
Do the children?
So this seems clearly to be an attempt at political misleading.
If there are 15,000 that got driver's licences then we can logically deduce that there are another several thousands that did not and don't drive.

Not actually false but not as widespread as they make it out to be.
All on has to do is look up police body cam footage and other videos.
This is not new or isolated or even just Haitians.
In my home city and influx of Easter Europeans got news because they were catching and eating the pigeons (which surprisingly at the time turned out not to be illegal).
I am sure there have been a few incidences but not some great epidemic, but more to the point and problem is the sudden placing of 20,000 Migrants in a town of around 58,000, the sudden population increase is far too much for any community to handle.

Posted in: Thousands in France protest 'rape culture' See in context
The irony here is that in the West Women are the ones that support more the far left that support being light on crime.
It is seriously strange.
Example: some man (possibly more than one) was going around New York City, punching women in the face, when the police caught the guy, he was released on a no cash bail the same day.
And then women complained.
In France it is no difference, women's groups are more likely to support the political policies and parties that are for leniency on crime.
So because they cannot blame the criminal system being lenient due to their support for these policies, well they need something or someone not connected to them to blame so they invented "rape culture".
Maybe they should back more strict laws and proper sentencing and more "punishment" during in incarceration and worry less about the "right and dignity" of criminals.

Using that "logic" then where are the protests on general criminal gangs culture, street gangs culture, drug gangs culture, etc....
Taking a fringe group and trying to claim it is a culture is crazy, because in that case we could call any thing a culture.
These are criminals plain and simple.
Nothing to do with culture.
Culture isn't something people hide, but they do openly like in daily cooking, dress, festivals, etc...
A simple question, how many men do you know or have known that would do something like this guy or think what he did is OK?
Personally I am old and I don't know any and if I did I would report them to the authorities.

Sorry but calling this rape culture would be like claiming the crimes of Jeffrey Dahmer were part of a " serial killer and cannibalistic" culture.
Rape culture is an invented thing trying to vilify all men as if men all think this is OK.
The reality is that the vast vast vast majority of men know sexual assault is wrong and never ever do it.
There is a tiny portion that don't care, they know very well it is wrong and that is why they hide what they are doing.
No different than the vast majority of people know killing is wrong, stealing is wrong, assault (no sexual) is wrong, etc..but they do it anyway.
But we don't go around claiming "murder culture" " theft culture" etc....
