1. Great if true

2. Nobody wants to get sent into the Ukraine only to get hit by an FPV drone on a 1950s motorcycle. Putler and Trumpler need to go asap

3. I would love to see the russian army quit and go home.

   That being said did something just happen in Ukraine? Or is the piece a bit optimistic?

4. Man, the express loves the phrase “on the brink”. Seriously, go check out how many times they used it for the EU.

   No, Russia’s army isn’t on the brink, one soldier turning rogue doesn’t cut it. And no, thousands aren’t deserting. There’s no evidence of large scale desertions. *Maybe* you can claim that over the course of the *entire* conflict a thousand have deserted or tried to desert, but such mass desertions have not been observed (yet).

   Yes, I wanna see Russia collapse and burn

   Yes, I wanna see Putin hang from a lamppost

   Yes, I wanna see Crimea back into Ukrainian hands

   But I’m not going to walk around pretending the express, of all papers, is even remotely reputable. It’s a tabloid, nothing more.

5. Yeah-yeah… 30k dead and they will retreat, they have missiles only for 2 attacks more, only 700 tanks left, 2-4 weeks max.

   We have heard this over optimistic bullshit too many times.

6. Well, well, well three holes in the ground.
   Waiting with popcorn 🍿

7. this is how the revolution against the czars started – a war that’s not going well and soldiers being sent in waves to their deaths. like 1917 all over again in the social media era.

8. Until we’re over the brink I don’t think we’ll know where the brink is.

9. This weeks headline ..again…

10. >as moarle and dsicipline continues to collapse.

    Great stuff

11. How are hundreds of people upvoting this shitpost from a tabloid??

12. if true , finally they understand

13. We’ve been hearing the same sort of stuff for a good while now. When is the Russian army actually going to collapse? It’s been imminent for nearly two years now.

14. If I had a British pound for every time I read about the Russian army being in crisis I could buy Ukraine an F16!

15. I only wish this article was as accurate as it sounds

16. Same headline once a week. What bullshit.

17. the express and the telegraph should be banned on the sub.

18. Russia likes using propaganda to manipulate the West. They deserve it to be turned on them.

19. This title is BS and damaging

20. This article has more ads per square centimeter I’be ever seen. I would not recommend use such low quality sources for your news

21. It’s not on the brink. Braindead propaganda. Better report on how it really is. These are small scale problems for them.

22. The Express is bat shit crazy, fodder for the most right wing of frothers. You should see what happens when snow is forecast!
