Is there still a war going on in Ukraine? The MSM is ignoring it except for brief mentions of Biden’s almost daily announcements of more aid to Ukraine. In the meantime, Zelensky is jailing the opposition party leaders.

Is there still a war going on in Ukraine?

Almost over, Russia has most of what they set out to get - the Black sea ports and eastern Ukraine.

I anticipate negotiations to start in Sept./Oct. as the Krouts will need gas for the Winter month

Moscow city councilor gets seven years' jail for anti-war comment

In March, Russia's parliament passed legislation imposing a jail term of up to 15 years for intentionally spreading "fake" news about Russia's army. The Kremlin has used the law to crack down on those who veer from Putin's narrative of the war.

Intentionally spreading fake news = saying the attack on Ukraine was wrong.

Basically the same as jailing opposition party members... Ever heard of a guy named Navalny?

Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny has been abruptly transferred from the prison where he is serving an 11-1/2 year sentence to an undisclosed location, nearly two years since he was poisoned with what the West said was a nerve agent.

There is NO moral equivalency here, Kabar...

The attack on Feb 24th, and the subsequent war, was blatant Russian aggression that violated the UN's charter.
