Here he's done a good job of explaining what has seemed very puzzling to me (as I've posted about else-where on Free Republic) Why would Zelensky risk the backlash of using grotesque terrorist tactics, like the recent concert shooting massacre. I couldn't figure it out, but he has presented a theory with supporting evidence that it's a ploy by Zelensky to force and over-reaction by Russia, which then forces the USA to step up and go all-in with the war.
In other words: Zelensky is trying to goad the USA into direct war with Russia, which would be WW3 by definition. Using terrorism.
Zelensky is desperate because he's got nothing left (running out of people, weapons, and ammunition) to carry on the fight with Russia. He desperately needs this to turn into a USA vs. Russia or at least NATO vs. Russia was.
Let that sink in: those arguing for more money for Zelensky are essentially arguing that we should bankroll a group that is using terrorism on an escalation basis to try to ignite and even bigger war. That's truly Strangeloveian behavior.
Americans should not be bankrolling terrorists. That's not asking too much.
…..Zelensky becomes an illegitimate President after May, much like senile Joe….everyone knows it but allows this to continue.
When does this circus end?
He’s in the midst of creating an imbroglio of epic proportions - and then skips off to some island retreat.
“Why would Zelensky risk the backlash of using grotesque terrorist tactics”
The Russian citizens [The Freedom for Russia Legion and the Russian Volunteer Corps] are fighting against Putin/Kremlin to liberate Russia.

“The images are arresting: Russian fighters aligned with Ukraine crossing the border into Russia’s Belgorod region, seizing a checkpoint and sowing confusion and anger in Moscow.
Residents of the settlements under attack in Russia’s Belgorod region have been resettled in other areas as authorities continue “clearing the territory” after the cross-border incursion that launched in Ukraine, regional governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said on Tuesday.
But questions linger about the groups behind the attack, how it took place, and what it means for the war: Was this a classic piece of a military sleight-of-hand, a brief show of force meant to confuse and distract Russian commanders? Does it signal the emergence of serious armed opposition inside Russia? Or are there murkier forces at work?
Here’s what you need to know.” [excerpt]
