Even our Pentagon states Vlad is launching an average of 500 missiles a DAY, pinpointing Ukie arms, fuel, weapons, depots, barracks, commo, …each day. Russian MOD lists Ukie losses here: www.riafan.ru, I read it every day,( you can to- use google translate if you can’t read Russian) , the situation map is updated everyday and appears to jive with the Brits MOD war maps since day one.

Fact is, the Ukies’ days are numbered. Their fuel supply line from Romania has been destroyed ( the rail bridges near Odessa)…now their defeat hinges on when their Donbass pocket collapses….Ukie MOD even stated they will then have to retreat all the way back to the Dniepner. Game over.

Hint: western MSM is not accurately reporting, they are war cheerleaders. Ever see the foreign videos of the Ukie army getting transported by civilian cars, buses? …because their military trucks are getting picked off.

I’m a guy who, like most here, has little or no control over stolen elections or the idiot who is currently running Washington. But I’m a guy who understands that peace that comes from strength, and that instability and threats to our future come from weakness or doing nothing when evil is striking. National defense policy shouldn’t depend on which party is in charge. I absolutely hate Biden and the mafia in his administration but they should be supporting Ukraine against the Russian invasion.

As to my original question, what are you, in such dramatic fashion, calling the ‘last domino’? It sound like some global warming alarmist cry.

On Ukraine, the world majority sides with Russia over US. Ever so slowly the truth is surfacing.

2014 saw two pivotal events that led to the current conflict in Ukraine.

The first, familiar to all, was the coup in Ukraine in which a democratically elected government was overthrown at the direction of the United States and with the assistance of neo-Nazi elements which Ukraine has long harbored.

Shortly thereafter the first shots in the present war were fired on the Russian-sympathetic Donbass region by the newly installed Ukrainian government. The shelling of the Donbass which claimed 14,000 lives has continued for 8 years, despite attempts at a cease-fire under the Minsk accords which Russia, France and Germany agreed upon but Ukraine backed by the US refused to implement. On February 24, 2022, Russia finally responded to the slaughter in Donbass and the threat of NATO on its doorstep.

And for what it’s worth, Ukraine has been one of the most corrupt places, Biden and his son could tell you a thing or two about it. Aside all this Vlodomyr Zelenskyy’s net worth is around 596 Mil. and his monthly income around 11 Mil. No doubt that some of this income is derived from his time in show business, where he wasn’t too great to begin with. But the bulk comes from the US propping him up supporting his charade.

Correct, Vlad stated very clearly in his initial war speech what he will do, and he will get it done.
Unfortunately, no one here or in the western MSM reported his speech. I did post it awhile back, translated, and it should have been required reading for all the war cheerleaders. It would have saved many a lot of embarrassment.

The interesting question is why did Abraham Stein, if that is his real name, suddenly start publishing pro-Russian articles and talking points. If he is the same Abraham Stein who posts on twitter why does he bother posting a string of posts of pro-Russian materials to his 672 followers?

And why does a guy who claims to be "Representing a coalition (including philanthropists) of over 250,000 senior citizens in all 50 states" have only 672 followers on Twitter.

Why do we keep seeing pro-Russian materials from obscure bloggers?

In the 70 years before that, there were only the 5 million killed by the Russians in the forced famine of the 1930s

Your link to support that assertion is interesting...it seems the Politboro member Stalin confided in about Ukraine's famine was a Bolshevik named Lazar Kaganovich from Kiev.

Kaganovich led a hard line faction within the Politboro against Sergei Kirov, a Russian who favored the relaxation of Stalin's harsh controls. As a result of this power struggle Kirov was assassinated.

So it would seem that the two men most responsible for the hardships endured during the famine were Stalin from Tblisi Georgia and Kaganovich from Kiev Ukraine...and the man who was killed for opposing them was Kirov from Russia.

Perhaps you should adjust your rhetoric accordingly.

I think we’re now at that point. When it began, Russia was ok with leaving most of Ukraine alone and only freeing up the Russian-speaking areas. But now Ukraine has become a surrogate for “Weakening Russia” (stated US policy)...so Ukraine will NEVER stop prodding Russia.

So Russia might as well cut the deal people are talking about where Poland and Russia divide up Ukraine and put an end to the problem.

Article gets one point wrong;

Ukraine, Cossacks, Scythians whatever you want to call them, have been ruled by the RUS, whether the original Viking kingdoms, or the Tsars, or the Soviets, for 1000+ years.

“For 70 years Ukraine was ruled by the Soviet Union and the region was at virtual peace.”

Except for that minor kerfuffle when the uncivilized russians starved 10 million Ukrainians to death. And instituted a police state so harsh the Ukrainians initially WELCOMED the nazis as liberators... until they figured out that communism and fascism are spawn of the same totalitarian socialist impulse.

Ritter claims Ukrainian losses are now running in the hundreds to thousands each day and Russian losses after being heavy early in the conflict are now running “single or double digits” per day.

And Ritter, apart from being a convicted pedophile, has been wrong about just about everything he has ever pontificated about. His opinions are nonsensical.

As far as the "single or double digits" numbers per day you can disprove that in a few minutes of reading Telegram channels.

In Mariupol, which the Russians claim to control except for the steel mill, one Russian crossing the street with his fellow soldiers gets shot to death in a residential neighborhood.

You can watch the video, produced by an embedded Russian reporter here . The same reported stated that the soldier who was shot later died from his wound.

If you can handle the sight of a lot of dead young Russians you can go to this Telegram channel set up so that families can try to find their lost family members. Be warned, there are many graphic photos of people who suffered terrible injuries and died as a result.

A few minutes of scrolling through the pictures will show that Ritter's opinions are nonsensical. Tragically, many people on both sides are being killed each day, along with innocent civilians and children. All because of Putin's desires.

Yes, I follow the war intensely...read dozens of sites every day. First time I ever had the opportunity to watch a war so closely. Even the journalist shills who had been posting endlessly that Ukraine was winning have begun to face reality.

Today is another grim day for Ukraine.
And as much as I understand your anger, dear Ukrainians, I’m gonna report what’s happening, not what you would like to happen.
Better times will come, hopefully. But right now, Russia is crushing the Ukrainian defense in many areas.

24.4.: We liberated Kyselivka.
27.4. Kyselivka is under Russian shelling.
28.4. We never held Kyselivka.
(ALL pro-Ukrainian sources)

This is the kind of information warfare, we are in. Fought by both sides and sometimes I’m stuck in the middle.
Just for your interest.

Damnit. Russian troops are advancing so fast, they surprised Ukrainian soldier, digging new trenches to established a new line of defense after falling back here.
At least 12 Ukrainians were killed at this location (northern Donbas). Won’t post the images.

Another night, another Russian military target burning, another Ukrainian TB2 shot down over Russia.
Very much seems like Russia adapted to the Ukrainian strategy. Kyiv must reconsider to not lose one Bayraktar every night.

Third #Bayraktar shot down by the Russian army in 48 hours.
This time in #Belgorod oblast.
Ukraine needs to urgently change its tactic when it comes to drone attacks in Russia.


From the notebook of a deceased Ukrainian militant in Mariupol, where the plans for the day contain an entry about the murder of colleagues who refused to fight:

“Get rid (kill) of the refuseniks (04/11/2022)...

“A month and a half of Hell has almost passed. And I would like to document all this. At this point on April 11th, reinforcements are on the way, or so they say. Everyone is tired, my health has been specifically knocked down, but I do not despair, and I am ready to destroy the enemy to the last.

February 23 came the signal to leave. Khvilya 222.3 - a couple of weeks before that, everyone began to prepare for war. Headquarters burned documentation, we loaded ammunition. Few believed that an all-out war would break out, despite warnings from American intelligence about the accumulation of Russian troops on the border. We thought that the maximum that would be is a specific movement in the Donbass, no more...” Source.

Poddubny |Z|О|V| edition
❗️Under Izyum, the formations of the Kyiv regime have yet another zrada. The militants of the VFU (combined BTGr of the 1st brigade of the National Guard and units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine) were surrounded, pressed against the Oskol reservoir, which is located east of Izyum.

On April 20, the General Staff assigned the command of the 1st brigade the task of launching offensive operations. The BTG was supposed to advance on Izyum. Any competent officer understands that the idea is suicidal. But for the sake of PR in Kyiv, they are ready for any sacrifice. The boys went on the attack, but quickly got hit in the face and were blocked on three sides by Russian troops, and on one side by water. There are now 1000 people in the circle. Naturally, the boys asked for help. In a secret telegram that came from the command, it was written: “NikolayIrina KharitonUlyanaYana.” The General Staff refused to organize a breakthrough and deblockade. Now the Russian artillery is methodically grinding the BTGr.

That’s the way it is, lads.

And you want to fight for these?

Ever see the videos and still images of Russians riding in civilian cars and trucks?

Like these Russians getting taken out by a drone as they try to escape in a car?

Or these Russians getting killed in an ambush while in a convoy of civilian vehicles they have taken?

The shelling of the Donbass which claimed 14,000 lives has continued for 8 years...

That is a favorite talking point of Putin's propaganda teams. Are you posting from St. Petersburg or Moscow?

About 14,000 people have died in the war in the Donbass that Russia started in 2014. Of that number most are soldiers, about 1/2 from the Ukraine, and about 1/2 from Russia or their allied DNR and LNR militias. The shelling not surprisingly goes both ways, just like it does right now.

If you look at the OSCE monitoring reports from before when Russia started invading Ukraine this year the shelling often started from the Russian held side and then return fire came from the Ukrainians.

The claim that Ukraine shelling caused the deaths on both sides is just more ridiculous Russian propaganda.
