Putin's 'in better shape than EVER': Lukashenko says the West needs to get the 'stupid fiction out of its heads' that Kremlin leader is acting 'irrational' over Ukraine, but jailed opposition leader's aide says invasion will end regime 'within five years'

Warring Vladimir Putin is healthy, sane and 'in better shape than ever', his closest European ally has claimed - on the same day he reportedly fired a nuclear-capable hypersonic missile in Ukraine, in a terrifying first.

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko - dubbed the last dictator of Europe - made the assessment of Putin's mental health during an interview with Japanese television channel TBS.

-snip-

But insisting the 69-year-old is in top condition, Lukashenko told his Japanese interviewer: 'The West, and you, should get this stupidity, this fiction out of your heads.

'Putin is absolutely fit, he's in better shape than ever ... This is a completely sane, healthy person, physically healthy - he's an athlete.'

'As they say here - he'll catch a cold at all our funerals.'

The other side of the coin.

I wonder what the reaction of the US would have been if Russia would have attempted to set up shop, either directly or indirectly next door in Mexico. I am surprised that Putin was patient enough to wait this long. I am not enamored with Putin nor Biden but it certainly would be nice to hear both sides of the story. I just feel sorry for the people who needlessly are dawn into this conflict. I have a feeling if the US as well as NATO had stayed out of it we may not have had this calamity.

CIA has trained Ukrainians to kill Russian-speakers since 2014 US-backed coup

CIA paramilitaries have been active in Ukraine training elite special operations forces to kill Russian-speaking Ukrainian separatists since soon after the 2014 US-sponsored coup. The US spy agency boasted that its influence “cannot be overestimated.”

The Central Intelligence Agency has been active in Ukraine training elite special operations forces to kill Russian-speaking Ukrainian separatists since 2014, when a US-sponsored coup d’etat overthrew the elected government in Kiev.
Yahoo News revealed this in a March 16 report titled “Secret CIA training program in Ukraine helped Kyiv prepare for Russian invasion.” The article details how “CIA paramilitaries” began traveling to Ukraine in 2014 to train and advise forces to fight against Russian-speaking Ukrainian militants in the eastern Donbas region.

These Russian-speaking independence fighters rose up against Kiev after a 2014 US-backed coup toppled democratically elected President Viktor Yanukovych, who had maintained a policy of political neutrality, balancing Ukraine between the West and Russia. Washington instead installed a pro-NATO puppet regime that repressed the rights of the Russian-speaking minority in the east of the country.

Yahoo News described the operation as a “covert CIA training program run from Ukraine’s eastern frontlines,” noting that it focused on developing Ukrainian special operations units, teaching them “irregular warfare” tactics.

You win wars by kill enough of your enemy and breaking enough of their crap that they decide fighting you is a bad idea. For Ukraine to be free of Russia and whole a lot of Russians will have to die. So far the Ukrainians have been able to inflict great losses on the Russians then they thought possible. The Russian invaders always can surrender or retreat.

So true!

Fake News has not reported on the 8 year war against East Ukraine.
Mebe that’s why Hunter did not step foot into Ukraine to perform work for Burisma.

Anyways, East Ukraine declared independence from the Bullies in the West. Russia recognized the independence of the Rus people living in East Ukraine.
Soon, people of East Ukraine will stop 8 years of shelling, kick out the Bullies, then regain peace.

And here we are

At 70 now, the probability is that Putin will die within the next 5 years.

The Russians may not have suffered losses reported by Fake News.

The Russians have split the Ukraine army into manageable isolated groups, each group surrounded, and not re-supplied with fresh troops, food and ammo.

The Ukraine army is not poised to go on any sort of attack.

The Ukrainian forces are using small unit action s to great effect. 3 or 4 guys with a Jav or NLAW are having a great effect. Don’t believe me why are the Russians not in Kyiv? I am a veteran of the US Army. An ACR could have done a thunder run down that main road and been in that city in under 48 hours.

The Russians are losing. They just are to far in to pull out with out getting something.

If that held any credence, a third of the U.S. Senate would be pushing up daisies. You make a good point though — right now we’re in a planet of gerontocracies — including the behind-the-scenes power brokers— stubbornly clinging to power with wretched claws to torment the human race.

It once was said that parents were proud if their offspring could live a better life than they. This crowd lives in rage and terror that that might happen, and is determined that nobody, ever, anywhere live as well as they.

During the Cuban missile crisis, I believe it was in 62, Kennedy told them to pack up their missiles and hardware and go home unless they want to risk war.

The MSM is also not reporting that a peace agreement will likely happen by the end of next week.
