Massive fortress like complex on the edge of the water, closes to beaches and other landing areas, apparently bunker like. If you were going to run a base of operations it is a decent choice. Maybe too obvious.

Reports said this Admiral was captured but the "fact checker" says it isn't true. https://www.ibtimes.sg/fact-check-us-general-eric-olson-captured-by-russian-forces-mariupol-surrenders-along-british-64675

Uh, Zelensky wasn’t elected until April 2019.

I give credence to this article based on the huge number of failed rescue attempts and the huge effort to release the the (now) prisoners into third party hands, like Turkey.

If they were just a bunch of idiot Nazis, those efforts would not have been made.

As with all information out of that conflict it is not to be trusted. It may or may not be true or partly true. There is no reliable information from there.

As a rule, articles with no attributable source(s) are a waste of time. Whatever truth there may be is lost.

This article is of the same ilk as the Daily Mail or Forbes, publishing information from "intelligence analysts" who claim to know Putin's daily schedule, his medical condition, or what the relationship is like between him and Russia's generals.

If we removed propaganda, we'd remove most of the MSM articles also.

Some if this may be true, including Putin’s comfort at allowing so many of his own troops to be killed, along with expensive tanks, as a feint toward Kiev, but I doubt much of the rest, especially with the thought that many NATO leaders are going to be captured from the wreckage of an underground bunker.

That’s true.

What is also true is that something very big is going on over there that the whole world cares very deeply about. They seem to care so much that they are goading a nuclear war to cover it up.

Yeah... when we find out the truth (if we ever do) I suspect it will be shocking.

I found the source of the article. I don’t know anything about them. I just thought it was an interesting analysis.

Rumors are that up to 50 French military were inside the bunker originally.

Col. Dick Black Has some interesting observations on NATO involvement:

We need to recognize the risk of playing these games of chicken. Where, for example, the Turkish media just published an article saying that at Mariupol, where there was a great siege, that the Russians ultimately won. The one area they haven’t taken over is this tremendous steel plant. There are a lot of Ukrainian soldiers who are holed up there.

And now it has come to light that apparently there are 50 French senior officers, who are trapped in that steel plant along with the Ukrainians. The French soldiers have been on the ground fighting, directing the battle. And this was kept under wraps, ultra-secret, because of the French elections that just occurred. Had the French people known that there were a large number of French officers trapped and probably going to die in that steel plant, the elections would have gone the other way: Marine Le Pen would have won. And so it was very important that for the entire deep state, that it not come to light that these French officers were there.

We know that there are NATO officers who are present on the ground in Ukraine as advisors and so forth. We run the risk. Now, my guess is—and this is this is a guess, I could be wrong—but the flagship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, the Moskva, was sunk as a result of being struck by anti-ship missiles. My guess is that those missiles, I think there’s a good chance they were fired by the French. Now, I could be wrong, but those missiles are so ultra-sensitive and so dangerous to our ships, that I don’t think that NATO would trust the missiles to Ukrainians, or to anybody else. I think I think they have to be maintained under NATO control and operation. So I think that it was probably NATO forces that actually sunk the Moskva.

Typical norm thought. Did Hannity tell you that?

The reality is that the US, Ukraine and NATO are the bad guys here.

True. That’s the main reason I read alternate sources now. So much of what we hear from the media is BS. Unfortunately, it is as bad as Russian propaganda. And apparently that’s why the deep state wants to shut down alternative sources of information. I didn’t post this saying I know this is true. It seems like a reasoned analysis. I look for comments from knowledgeable people to determine the veracity. Sometimes I get the most insight when I read comments to articles.

Macron DID get involved, similar to the situation where Merkel got involved in a previous debacle and surround in 2015.

When Lt Trevor Cadieu is only in charge of a biochem weapon unit, one can easily imagine how many more generals would out rank him in the fortress.

Actually, Lt GENERAL Trevor Cadieu [Canada]. Not many generals outrank a three-star general, so there's that sloppy little detail.

Lots of other truthiness, though - including all those rescue attempts.

“I give credence to this article...”

You give credence to it because it comports with your narrative. If, it didn’t, you’d be screaming “Propaganda!”
