President Putin used a familiar hand gesture when cameras were upon him, and sent a clear message to what remains of Russia’s manpower.
Well, that would make you happy, if it were true, but even you know that Russia has far more manpower. However, the sad reality is that Ukraine is now going to use their convicts because they are running out of manpower, because many Ukrainians gave that gesture to Zelenskyy when he came for their sons who they paid exorbitant prices to sneak them out of the country so that they would not be sent to the meat grinder a.k.a. front lines.
This is why I have always been for a peace agreement hammered out by Ukraine & Russia. That was in the process & both sides were in agreement that Russia would leave Ukraine & return all land masses currently in their control, except for the Crimea which Russia determined was essential for Russia's national security. All Ukraine had to do was remain neutral and not join NATO.
Then Boris Johnson went & told Zelenskyy not to make any agreements with Putin/Russia, so Zelenskyy backed out of the deal. I am for neither side, because I stand with America first, but I wanted the best for both Ukrainian & Russian citizens who I didn't want them to be sent to fight each other when it is needless.
All the Ukrainians needed to do was accept the deal for now and elect someone that would sign both trade agreements, however, the EU told Viktor Yushchenko was going to sign both trade agreements, EU & Russian, as it provided a competitive win-win situation, as far as, Ukraine was concerned. However, when the EU got wind of his plan they told him flat out that if he signed Russia trade agreement the EU would withdraw their trade agreement. In hindsight it might have been wise for Viktor Yushchenko to have communicated this to the people, but he decided to heck with the EU trade agreement, and signed just the EU agreement, or even signed both nonetheless, and then let the EU back out of the agreement.
It was all unnecessary, but unfortunately that is not what the powers that be wanted. They wanted a proxy war, with the battlefield to be Ukraine, and the combatants to be Ukrainian, and we all know why because they have told us that they prefer to fight over there than to fight here.
Well, there was no likelihood of them fighting here, until we got involved. So, keep on sporting the regime now in control of the levers of power, and got control of those levers via the theft of the 2020 election, and you think you are the righteous ones.
I view you all as useful idiots who may cost the loss of this nation as a beacon of freedom in the world, and will facilitate the whole world to fall into tyrannical control and make the One World Government more plausible of becoming a reality.
