I believe that the war hawks will get what they want and we shall see US/Poles/UK troops facing off against Russian/Belarus/Iranians in the harsh heartland of Ukraine. We will discover that Russians are a bit harder to defeat than Saddam was in Iraq. We haven’t lost a big set battle in a while and it will be a hard pill to sallow. After a few such set backs will come the draft. I don’t think it will go nuke—but a lot of very nasty weapons are out there that might be used. You don’t like Biden Now, wait till you see him with War Powers? This time we shall see lots of terrorism on the home front I fear and all the repression that will come with it. How long will the war last? YEARS! In the end—only China will win.

Alexander: The big news over the last couple of days is that we have had an extraordinarily important sequence of meetings. Now the first one was on Thursday when Putin met with the Security Counsel, which is Russia’s top policy making body. We don’t know what happened then. That is a regular meeting. On Friday he went to the joint staff headquarters of the Russian military that is engaged in fighting in Ukraine and he was briefed by Surovikin and all his staff. Shoigu, the Defense Minister was there; Gerasimov was there. The meeting went on for a whole day . That was a huge set of meetings and we have to assume that the military leaders were all briefing Putin as to what exactly was going on and what they were going to do...what their battle plans were and apparently he met with them individually afterwards. He met with all the key military commanders individually after the general meeting and then there was a summary meeting afterwards.
And now, after that meeting we learn that he has come to Minsk. He’s going to meet Lukashenko. Shoigu, the Defense Minister is with him. Lavrov arrived just before Putin came. So this is a big meeting, bringing together the entire Russian and military leadership...it’s key leaders; Putin, Shoigu and Lavrov with Lukashenko and his top staff. And then after that meeting when Putin comes back to Moscow there is said to be another big meeting in the works. This at the Military Collegium of the Defense Ministry. That brings together not just the military leaders who are involved in the war in Ukraine. It brings together all, the entire military establishment as well.
So it’s a whole series of important meetings that Putin is now having with all of the key people involved in the conflict, not just in the conflict with Ukraine; but in the conflict, if you like, with the West. The military people in Russia and now, also, the military and political leaders in Belarus. So everything now points to something very big indeed. Some kind of big offensive being on the way; being planned. Clearly all the pieces are now being put into place and all the plans are being perfected.
It is clear that Zaluzhny is terrified of a move towards Kiev. His biggest fear; he has got to protect Kiev. Zelensky said something absolutely astonishing today, by the way. He said, “No, we’re not going to evacuate people from Kiev.” Even though they’re there without heat or water...they’re going through the most terrible privation because if we take away the civilian population from Kiev that makes it easier for the Russians to occupy Kiev. So on the one hand he is admitting that he is using the civilian population of Kiev as a kind of shield which is a rather disturbing thought in itself, but it also shows that he is worried about Kiev, too.
Something big is on the way.
Hey Forward: it’s setback, not a set back, you freaking troll..
