Whether you believe, as I do, that Putin is primarily reacting to an expansionist NATO or whether you believe Putin is acting upon Russia’s revanchist Soviet Union plans, this makes sense. Russia and Ukraine need to work this out before it engulfs the entire region.

All the official western sources have Russian forces getting defeated.

They must have used angel dust to move above the battlefield.

Putin already has troops in Moldova. It’s a fait accompli at this point that Russia controls Moldova.

And I’ve been saying this for two months now that Moldova was on Putin’s radar.

If, when, they take Mariupol, they will move on Odessa. If they take Odessa Transniestria will be absorbed into Russia. They, at least, will be happy about it.

My Czech buddy was going home to get married. He’s not going right now. Afraid of getting drafted.

Russia is bankrupt and is going to leave a lot men and vehicles in Ukraine. How is it going to attack Moldova?

“Russia and Ukraine need to work this out before it engulfs the entire region. “

That is “this”?

I just read that putin badly and the Russian army is being destroyed in Ukraine.

How will he be a threat to anyone after that?

It’s a bit premature for Russia to turn its attention to conquering Odesa and Transnistria, when they still haven’t taken Mariupol.

Ukraine claiming today they killed in Mariupol the commanding officer of the Russian 810th Guards Naval Infantry Brigade, Colonel Alexei Sharov.

What bullshit.
His reaction to “ expansionist” NATO is to increase his borders with NATO.
He needs to take his crappy failing military back to Mother Russia.

A Russian general says Moldova is their next target (no video evidence to support this given by western media so we can see the general’s and others with him physical reactions).

2.) Western media says the proof is from Russian media Tass in writing (the same Russian media they say shouldn’t be trusted).

3.) There was pushback from others talking to this Russian general according to Tass (that Newsweek gave a link to suprisingly) about what this one general said, nor does it appear consensus was reached.

Conclusion from the focus 24/7 on Russia but never Biden or Obama crowd, the tinfoil hat crowd, and the MSM: don’t believe Russian media unless we tell you to and believe the analysis on it we give you.

I didn’t make it clear earlier when I posted the information I did that the media is at it again today claiming Russia will invade Moldova.

Have a good one!
