The article you both linked to from the Rio Times is perhaps the best breakdown of the whole situation. Thorough without being too long-winded.
I would suggest anyone reading this thread check out the article.
Nato backing off sending heavy weaponry to Ukraine, bickering with each other on whether or not to continue sanctions. Globalists in Davos having to ‘adjust’ their agenda because of the crumbling narratives of western media and the memes which are carpet bombing governmental talking points. Russia, not even deploying their full strength in Ukraine have routed Nationalists all around the country and have surrounded 25 thousand Azov and Ukrainian forces foreshadowing a mass surrender by Ukraine, yet Zelinsky and Biden double down. It is so surreal what is happening right now.
Good one!
A video overview of the shrinking opportunity for Ukrainian Donbass retreat to save possibly 10,000 troops being encircled in the East.
Analyst Notes that even so, 4-5,000 troops will be encircled and sacrificed in the effort.
Discusses the disconnect between Zelensky and his top commander. Only Z can order retreats and has refused to do so, though intel indicates he may have delegated some authority to make this decision…but not before Friday.
The next few days will be critical as retreat options close.

Strange since a self confessed communist
I do not care how corrupt Ukraine is said to be (as if Russia were not as equally corrupt), Ukraine was never a military threat to Russia that would have justified the invasion. This is simply a land-grab by Russia above and beyond their initial land-grab in 2014. How anyone could support them is beyond me.
Just because Putin calls them nazis doesn’t make it true
A billionaire communist. Does not compute.
At least one significant English Churchman disagrees with the claim of Putin being wrong.
By all accounts, the Ukies were three or four days away from a massive invasion of the Donbas and Putin beat them to the punch. You no doubt see something immoral about beating an adversary to a punch....
========================
The classic example of that kind of thing was that first Marciano/Walcott fight in 52...
Again, you undoubtedly view that sort of tactic as immoral. Have you considered contacting the appropriate authorities in the boxing world to try to have the decision in that fight overturned? I mean, I know that 70 years have gone by since that time but, hey, better late than never, right??
=======================================
Walcott was actually ahead on points at the point at which he got KOed. He was landing 2 - 3 punches to Rocky's one or two but, funny thing, his punches were not hurting Rocky and Rocky's punches were definitely hurting him, i.e. he was winning the boxing match but losing the beat-down. Backing up into the ropes against Rocky and then trying to wind up a punch was basically a bad idea.
Yeah, ... however if I call them Nazis it is true.
So Russia is justified in invading a foreign country because said foreign country was about to assert control over its sovereign territory that had been occupied by Russian surrogates in the first place?
It is unfortunate that so many FReepers are so unaware of the actual history and reality of this present conflict. That’s what indoctrination does to people; it keeps them totally misinformed...:-(
First, Ukraine is a “client state” or a “puppet state” of the United States. We instigated driving out their elected leader who was friendly to Russia and picked the one we wanted. As Victoria Nuland put it, “we put 5 billion dollars in here and we are not leaving and f—k the EU.”
Our purpose in “buying” Ukraine was to pressure and weaken our adversary Russia thereby leading to much desired “regime change” which we have been pursuing for at least a decade. For years we trained their soldiers to “NATO standards” and worked on bio-research in over 30 labs there and purposely kept crossing Russia’s red “security line.”
WE WANTED TO PROVOKE PUTIN (as even the Pope has come out and stated.) Zelensky had no desire to engage Russia militarily. When he ran for office his platform was to negotiate an agreement with Russia over the Donbass, the Minsk agreement. That appealed to his electorate and he won at over 70%.
But, that did not serve the Deep State’s interests and so he did what his owners wanted which is what he always does. Good little puppet...:-) Like all grifters he knows which side his bread is buttered on. Even now he is continuing this losing war only because he has been ordered to.
Please note the date on the following Decree. A full year before Russia entered Ukraine. And again, for the uptheen time read the linked article by the Swiss expert earlier in this thread. Ukraine started shelling the Donbass on Feb. 16, 2022...a full week PRIOR to Russia crossing the border. Ukraine STARTED the military conflict.
As the Swiss article made clear Putin had to be dragged kicking and screaming into this and it took all eight years of armed conflict before he finally did.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky has enacted the Strategy for De-occupation and Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territory of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the City of Sevastopol.
Decree No. 117/2021 of March 24 on enactment of the relevant decision of the National Security and Defense Council was published on the website of the Head of State, Ukrinform reports.
“To approve the Strategy for De-occupation and Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territory of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the City of Sevastopol,” the document reads.
As noted, the strategy defines a set of diplomatic, military, economic, informational, humanitarian and other measures aimed at restoring the territorial integrity, state sovereignty of Ukraine within its internationally recognized borders through the de-occupation and reintegration of Crimea.
The document also identifies priorities for the state to protect human rights and freedoms violated as a result of the temporary occupation of the Crimean Peninsula, as well as the main areas of relevant economic, social, humanitarian, environmental, information, defense and security policy.
In addition, as the President’s Office underscores, the strategy sends a clear signal to the international community that Ukraine is consistent in its actions to restore territorial integrity, violated by the Russian Federation’s neglect of its international obligations.
The Cabinet of Ministers is instructed to develop an action plan for the implementation of the strategy, on the basis of which the relevant government bodies will prepare and implement measures to ensure the de-occupation and reintegration of the peninsula.
The National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine approved the Strategy for De-occupation and Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territory of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the City of Sevastopol on March 11.
THE US WAS WRONG! And now all of us are going to suffer and pay the price for this debacle for years to come.
He is who he is
Pretty sure Putin has close to that
Oh ok
Soros whored himself out as a Nazi collaborator ... he will whore himself out to whom Satan directs him.
The Ukrainian boys aren’t even human to his type.
