You have just learned, for instance, that the Ukraine MOD has acknowledged using (as opposed to just receiving) cluster munitions. That is an unambiguous datum.
Think about what you are hearing.
You can learn something from any source. Even the Russian MOD!
So is every war.
I think the US should have surrendered after Pearl Harbor. It would have saved a lot of lives.
Joining the Russians 18 months after they began using cluster munitions themselves.
She means PREY for The Ukraine.

Ukrainian troops attacked Russia south of Bakhmut. Soldiers from the 28th Brigade took part in the charge. They were carried into battle in an armoured vehicle. Then they charged forward and opened fire. They used grenade launchers and rockets on the Russians. Ukraine says it is making advances around Bakhmut. Russia has deployed its elite paratroopers to the area. But so far they have been unable to stop the advance.
Absurd analogy. You can do better than that. Or maybe not?
Perfectly fine analogy, in the sense that you meant.
All wars bad, full stop.
Russians trying to force Ukrainian staff at Zaporizhzhia NPP to launch power unit No. 4
“Economichna Pravda”

Yurii Chernichuk, the so-called “director general” of the temporarily occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) appointed by the Russian authorities, is trying to persuade Ukrainian nuclear specialists at the plant to launch power unit No. 4.
SOURCE: Energoatom, a Ukrainian national nuclear energy company
QUOTE: “The operational staff brought in from Russia is completely incompetent and lacks relevant experience. Yurii Chernichuk, illegally appointed by the Russian authorities as the ‘general director’ of the temporarily occupied Zaporizhzhia NPP, is persuading nuclear workers who refused to sign fake contracts with Rosatom to launch the power unit No. 4.”
DETAILS: It is noted that Chernichuk is trying to get out of this situation and involve those Ukrainian workers who had previously refused to sign fake contracts with Rosatom and who were blocked from accessing the plant.
Over the last week, due to the constant physical and psychological pressure of the occupiers, about 30 members of the licenced personnel of the ZNPP left Enerhodar. They managed to leave for the government-controlled territory of Ukraine.
The personnel at the plant categorically refuse to comply with the criminal order of the occupiers, which is a direct violation of the operating licence issued by the State Nuclear Regulatory Inspectorate of Ukraine.
“The responsible Ukrainian personnel are aware that violation of the SNRIU licence terms will result in the loss of personal licences after the liberation of ZNPP,” Energoatom said.
BACKGROUND
• The Russian occupiers are going to put power unit No. 4 of the Zaporizhzhia NPP into a “hot shutdown” state. At the same time, they are deliberately not putting power unit No. 5 into a “cold shutdown”.
• The Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that the Russians may soon be preparing a provocation on the territory of the occupied Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant.

Amen. I pray for all of those who have suffered so much death, destruction of their homes, their infrastructure and their livelihoods, and the theft of their peace and content. On both sides.
Those who are pushing for this to go on and on like Vampira Nuland, Lindsey Graham, the Bidens and all of their camp followers are to be viewed with contempt.

All that’s needed is for the Russians to stop shooting and leave.
Why don’t they?
“All that’s needed is for the Russians to stop shooting and leave. Why don’t they?”
EXCELLENT POINT! Putin can stop invasion ANY time!
Ask them.

We continue to look for ways to bring Ukrainian grain to the world – US Ambassador to Ukraine
European Pravda, VALENTYNA ROMANENKO

As Russia threatens the global grain supply by blocking the Black Sea Grain Initiative, the US is continuing to search for ways to bring Ukrainian grain to the world.
SOURCE: Bridget Brink, United States Ambassador to Ukraine, on Twitter
DETAILS: Brink said that more “outrageous attacks” on Mykolaiv and Odesa and its port and grain infrastructure, which occurred in the last three nights, “continue Russia’s brutality toward Ukrainians and utter disregard for people everywhere who rely on food that flows through this port city”.
QUOTE: “The United States just announced more support for Ukraine’s air defense to help Ukraine defend itself and, while Russia threatens global food supply, we will continue to seek solutions to get Ukrainian grain to the world,” Brink stressed.
BACKGROUND: On 17 July, Russia announced the suspension of the Black Sea Grain Initiative. The Kremlin threatened other parties to the Black Sea Grain Initiative with “risks” if they continue the Black Sea Grain Initiative without Russia.
Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba believes that Russia will stop blocking Ukraine’s sea ports once Ukraine receives its first F-16 fighter jets.
Around 30 Members of the European Parliament signed a petition urging the EU to hand over F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine as soon as possible. Ukrainian pilots are set to start training on F-16 jets in August.
To name the mental illness psych delusion of grandeur:
Putin believes himself to be the Emperor of the world!
Now you’re thinking
You got Putin on all 3:
1. Bloodsucker.
2. Globohomo Toady.
3. War criminal.
