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.

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.

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.

“Since the American engineered coup in 2014 that brought Zelensky to power”

Obviously this is Kremlin-inspired garbage

Dr. Evil also had his secret lair at Mariupol. Did the Soviets send in Austin Powers to get him?
