The U.S. flies its F-35s in full stealth mode near Belarus

This is as mentioned almost certainly a matter of optics, to show Putin that they are being watched and since Russia have no means to compete with the F-35, could maybe help pipe them down a bit?

Not sure if you read that properly, it's the Russians themselves that are restricting western media, just like we have done here with RT.

How is the war looking now? are russians still useless or was that a lot of western propaganda?

Last i checked Ukrainians were doing well, perhaps maybe even being able to repel the Russian offensive.

Hard to tell, one day the Ukranians are wiping the floor with the Russians, there is no way the Russians will survive with the losses they are taking.
The next day Ukranians are about to be wiped and the impotent West is standing by and watching it happen.

Well that's the Ukranian (Western) propaganda, I said a few days ago people were getting a bit over excited that the underdogs were 1-0 up after 10mins and everyone thought they were going to win the cup.

The next day Ukranians are about to be wiped and the impotent West is standing by and watching it happen.

Personally, I think Zelensky will be killed and Ukraine will fall, what happens next is the question.

Its a serious brain twister if you think about it for a bit, MAD
If you were losing a war and you had the ability to basically wipe out the human race
Is your way of life so much better, that elimination or nigh on elimination of the species is a better solution than losing and accepting a different way of life

Surely its saying natural selection, survival of the fittest has to be defeated

And this caused an increase in cancer and cancer-related numbers in places like Las Vegas when the wind took the fallout and radiation over there. One of these going off in a densely populated area is nuts.

Definitely bonkers, though Las Vegas wasn't as built up as it is now, still amazes me they set these off in and around Groom Lake/Area 51 so close to civilisation.

To me it's more the attitude of the father who kills all his kids then himself, since if he can't have them no-one will. There was another of those on the news just the other day.

Would the russians and their military leaders believe or take any notice of this? Clearly a psychological flex there...

Putin's vision is that the planet cannot exist without Russia, so pretty sure he would rather destroy everything than lose. I can only see this ending peacefully if there is a coup/revolution in Russia.

Such is the use of propaganda. Most of what you hear if not lies then it’s exaggerated or used to control the narrative.

Yeah I know thats Putins take. World without Russia unthinkable, better no humans
But most sane individuals surely would go, world with a population is better than none even if they have to speak German

Russian etc or whatever

Put it another way. If we were to go WW3 with Russia, I would rather see the human race survive (even if it meant death to me or personal hardship), than a UK PM decide to fire all the nukes as the Ruskies crossed the channel.

You might wanna check that, they are far more powerful than those dropped on Japan
