Energy Grid Near Collapse🚨⚡️Officers Urge Zelensky to Withdraw from Pokrovsk🏃♂️💨MS For 2025.11.08
A long time ago there might have been opportunities for a negotiated solution to this mess, but that didn’t happen and both sides are too dug in right now for that.
IMHO Trump should have dumped Ukraine the moment that Zelensky pulled his disrespectful stunt at the White House. Turn it all over to NATO and get back to fixing stuff right here at home. Our own infrastructure is crumbling and in serious need of modernization. No shortage of other domestic projects that need to be done as well, as we are witnessing now. One of the reasons I voted for Trump is that I thought he would focus intensely on our own national re-development and infrastructure priorities rather than getting continually distracted with the never ending messes abroad.
Thanks but it kind of flowed out of your “dueling narratives” phrase that got my attention. :)
It was only a matter of attrition and time.
Not going to work against Russia, Americans ( or the West) simply has no stomach for it. Russia has used attritional warfare for ages, defeating Sweden, Napoleon, Nazi’s, etc.
Vlad’s military has engineered one Cauldron after another sucking the Ukies into these kill zones time and time again....the current Petrovsk ( now lost) and Kupiansk fronts have been disastrous encirclements, time and time again. Of course it helps that St Z ( like Hitler) gives no surrender , no retreat orders, time and time again.
Fools.
We are winning.
Hopefully Vlad will somehow accomplish one of his long stated goals, eradicating the Ukie Nazis. They are deeply entrenched, just one look at all the Nazi Bandera statues and street names in Ukraine bear this out....The Ukie Rada has even endorsed a national Bandera holiday.
And Poland needs to expel all the Banderites that came into Poland.
Meaning we increasingly are to rely on YouTube and TikTok for reliable info?
It seems to so nicely link to the notion of "pushers" and addicts. :)
I asked AI to rank the retired NATO generals who have become pundits on their accuracy and Gen. Hodges was ranked least accurate of them all. 🧐
“and Zelensky’s orders to hold at all costs ( against Gen Syrsky’s orders to evacuate)”
That is most significant, if true.
Is there a written source for that disconnect?
We KNOW Z’s orders are always “hold to the last man”.
But I can’t find anything written anywhere about his CiC ordering a retreat.
Oh look folks!! We have another individual who makes wild claims, but doesn't provide actual screen names of those he's accusing.
Disagreeing with certain people makes you Hitler, don’t you know?
Or Neville Chamberlain.
Thanks for your list
“Read Finnish history, with emphasis on the 20th Century. Because that is how things are going to end up for Ukraine.”
That was pretty much what Zelensky had wanted to do at the outset, agree to Russian terms to not be a Neocon Forward Operating Base - and in return be free to operate as an independent country (despite Leftist claims). Worked out great for Finland, as their alternative was being absorbed in the Soviet Union. Fortunately for Finland, no outside entities were telling them how to deal with Russia.
But for Ukraine, the Neocons scuttled that (preliminary) agreement (similar to Finland’s) and made Ukraine keep fighting and losing, bringing us to where we are now, with the only outcome (short of WW3) being a rump state...if even that.
Mercouris and Dima has recently stated St Z and General Syrsky at odds over this issue, especially Pekrovsk.( Pekrovsk now fallen). General Srysky knows the score on the military front, St Z just looking at the political angle.
If you remember the dismissed General Zhaluny, he to was at odds with feeding soldiers into Vlad’s cauldrons, and of course was replaced.As I have stated, all the Ukie lies, propaganda and cover ups will eventually be written about in the the post war analysis....
Gen. Hodges are ex-military Americans
“Both Col. McGregor and Gen. Hodges are ex-military Americans and they are diametrically opposed on Ukraine.”
Is Hodges consigned to YouTube, like McGregor and others? Nope, he’s a Western Media star! Seems that the media only wants us to hear one side.
Tells me what I need to know.
Well, if you consider losing 12% of their land and a major naval base (the naval base later returned by the Soviets) to be a great outcome, I agree that that would be a great outcome for the Ukraine at this point. I was thinking in more general terms of Ukraine needing to realize that they are going to have to make territorial concessions.
“IMHO Trump should have dumped Ukraine the moment that Zelensky pulled his disrespectful stunt at the White House.”
Considering how IMPORTANT Trump made the issue of quickly ending the war during his 2024 campaign, I’m thinking that a lot of his supporters were simply let down in seeing Biden 2.0 (thanks to Rubio and others like him) and thus didn’t take the time to go vote on Tuesday.
Talk about Ukrainian propagandists!
Even the Kiev Independant pro Ukie news states:
“Ukraine’s state-owned energy company says all of its power plants are down after Russia’s ‘largest-ever attack”.
November 8, 2025 5:28 pm
Of course they state their power grid is down, but adding Ukraine shot down 1500 of Vlad’s 1499 missiles. Video of eastern Ukraine in darkness says different.
The truth is there, but you have to search for it, western MSM still backs senile Joe’s narrative....to many have been sucked in.
