Good piece, and spot on! More:

Here’s the real story: Russia’s invasion is the end result of 14 years of provocation by the West, including repeated declarations that Ukraine will join NATO and a U.S.-backed coup d’état in 2014 that displaced a pro-Russian president.
Russia never planned a blitzkrieg on Kyiv. That’s a Western invention intended to make Putin look like a failure. In fact, Russia is slowly and methodically taking territory in the south and east of Ukraine in order to control the seacoasts, eliminate pro-fascist elements in Mariupol and establish pro-Russian autonomous zones in Donbas.
Churchill? Really?
A full assault on Kyiv, if it ever comes, is last on the list. Ukraine may reoccupy a village here and there, but they’re losing ground in Kherson, Mykolaiv, Melitopol, Mariupol, Kharkiv, Luhansk, Donetsk and surrounding areas.
Moreover, Zelenskyy is no Churchill.
He’s succeeded in presenting himself as a strong wartime leader, standing up to the big, bad Putin. But in reality, he’s a corrupt oligarch with millions of dollars hidden offshore. His acting skills have enhanced his propaganda efforts, but it doesn’t take much training to see how phony he is.
Innocent civilians, including women and children, are dying under his failed leadership and inability to come to terms with Putin before the invasion began. In a nutshell, Zelenskyy bet on support from Biden and the West and lost.
There is ample evidence from numerous sources to support this analysis. Some of the best sources come from Switzerland, where military experts are infuriated that traditional Swiss neutrality has been cast aside.
Most tellingly, Pentagon leaks say the same thing. The story from inside the Pentagon is that Putin is not acting recklessly but is being patient and methodical. It also says that, despite some civilian casualties, Putin is actually using a restrained approach. Furthermore, there are no signs he is preparing for the use of chemical or biological weapons...”
Yup. That’s the truth. So don’t be surprised.

Bkmk
It appears that Putin has launched an unprovoked and unjustified invasion on the sovereign state of the Ukraine wreaking havoc and death on millions of innocent lives.
I don’t see how you can support this.
That was a very good post by you!
The first casualty of war is always the truth. Believe NOTHING.
IMO the only thing that's believable is that Putin wants to landlock Ukraine, cutting them off from the sea. That will choke Ukraine and that's what Putin wants to do. Whether or not Putin intends anything beyond this, no one knows.
"Buffer space" from NATO? That's a lie. "Fascists" in Ukraine? Yeah, ok. We have them here in the US. They're called "antifa" and blm. Russia gonna invade us too?
Anything else in all this is pure, unadulterated bovine fecal matter.
Oh, and BIDEN'S FAULT too. Him and the alleged 81,000,000 DUMBASSES who voted for him. Were it not for the stolen election, none of this would be happening right now.
