Really sad to see Joe Bidens War escalate like this. Failed diplomacy... he needed to read Donald Trumps book on how to make a good deal, win/win.

Good thing we have reporters like Patrick Lancaster on the ground in Mariupol. His videos clearly show that this Governor is lying as bodies are not “carpeting the ground.” I highly doubt 10,000 civilians died in Mariupol since the Russians came to the town.

“Russia gave holdout Ukrainian soldiers an ultimatum to lay down arms on Sunday in the pulverised southeastern port of Mariupol”

The Ukrainian reply was to give the Russians the same deadline to evacuate all their troops from Ukraine.

“On April 14, two Russian strategic heavy bombers Tu-95/-160 have launched cruise missiles hitting the territory of Ukraine from Krasnodar Krai of Russian Federation airspace”

It’s telling that even in the East where Russia has almost all of its forces they are still not eager to overfly the region with their air force. Instead launching hits only from safety across the border.

““To restore Mariupol, that is something only Ukraine can do.”

Russia built it originally.

And Odessa too.

Well it looks like Putin has gotten rid of the Azov Brigade command and control center.

Putin wants the port and the railroad and highway junctions. He doesn’t care about the people or the buildings.

Best course of action:

* Remove ChoMoeJoe from office
* Hamstring Democrats by supporting GOP candidates in 2022 ensuring GOP takeover of House and Senate
* Prevent mass voter fraud in 2022; with any luck various entities are working on this (includes taking steps toward same-day voting, paper ballots, no overseas vote-counting)
* Decertify bogus 2020 election results
* Start working toward 2024 GOP presidential win
* Hope there’s something left of Eurasia with “America First” GOP in charge

Because there’s nothing we can do about the current worldwide disaster(s) until we fix what led to it. I feel really bad for all the regular citizens in Ukraine and Russia who are suffering through this. They should try to fix their voting problems, too, and run their gangster executives out of town. Or some more permanent solution.

The Uke’s are winning, Russia is running back home.....

Oh wait, never mind.

The Uke’s took up defensive positions inside Mariupol and grabbed Citizens for use as human shields.
Some Citizens got away, and hopefully, the Uke Nazi’s all died.

Mebe we see the mercenary’s on trial, and discover who paid them, and where they came from

Now is Biden happy? He poked that war bear constantly until all hell broke loose. Now this.

It is a lot easier to ruin a city than to occupy a ruined city. With a little expert advice, the Ukrainians can turn the ruins into a death trap for Russians.
