I think this is one of the most significant AND TELLING excerpts from the ZeroHedge article. Initially most experts believed Russia would stop at the Dnieper. NATO’s escalations appear to have changed Russia’s initial plan.
In an extensive July interview, Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov let the cat – diplomatically – out of the bag:
“This process continues, consistently and persistently. It will continue as long as the West, in its impotent rage, desperate to aggravate the situation as much as possible, continues to flood Ukraine with more and more long-range weapons. Take the HIMARS. Defense Minister Alexey Reznikov boasts that they have already received 300-kilometre ammunition. This means our geographic objectives will move even further from the current line. We cannot allow the part of Ukraine that Vladimir Zelensky, or whoever replaces him, will control to have weapons that pose a direct threat to our territory or to the republics that have declared their independence and want to determine their own future.”
More recent war analysis suggests Kiev may be on the menu.
Interesting to see the lights come on for some Ukrainians.
💥Remember Nadezhda Savchenko, a Ukrainian pilot who served time in a Russian prison for the murder of Russian journalists in 2014? In Ukraine, she became a hero of Ucraine and a Rada deputy. Here is what she writes in their social networks. Khohols, prick up your ears.💥💥💥

It is humiliating for Ukrainians to realize
that they have been used. That’s why they get
angry. And it also infuriates the Ukrainians
that the Russians do not hate them. Pity,
someone has charity, someone has misunderstanding.
This is how they usually look at a crap
drunk who fell asleep in his sh*t. And when
he wakes up, he will start blaming the
neighbors for getting him drunk and robbed.
Syria - Another Turkish Invasion Is Imminent
After two years of relative quietness the situation in Syria is again escalating.

This follows a terror attack in Istanbul two weeks ago allegedly committed by a woman who had traveled there from the Kurdish controlled city of Kobani in northeast Syria. Turkey accused the U.S., which is occupying northeast Syria, of complicity in the attack.
A week after the Istanbul incident Turkey started to bomb Kurdish positions in east Syria. It has now threatened to (again) invade it.
