This is like everything else where you have government and business agree on something - you get a hyped up one sided potrayal and selling of an issue, and one day people wake up to be suprised that everything is entirely different.

The Russian Ukrainian War will probably end in a negotiated settlement. The Ukrainians have to strengthen their hand by taking back some of their lost territory. Germany in particular is vulnerable to loss of energy supplies from Russia. The EU will pressure Ukraine to negotiate a settlement before winter arrives. For all his rhetoric, Zelensky knows this and will probably succumb to the pressure. On their part, Russia didn't expect the vigor with which the Ukrainians are fighting. Their losses have been huge. But the Russians seem to have circumvented Western sanctions. If Xi decides enough is enough, he will force Putin to the negotiation table. This war is not good for business. Like Coolidge's America, the business of China is business.

Oh good! How much of OUR MONEY will they be needing?

[The Louiswu]

That means a1 million or more automatic weapons plus bullets lots and lots of bullets will that make the gun grabbers just go ape

Anyone thinking this is possible is a fool.

Ukrainians have been harassing men at churches trying to force them into military service. They have had to resort to recruiting women>

This just another ploy for more American tax dollars.

Maybe they will launch a major twitter offensive!
News not good for Z...........
.
On the morning of July 11th, Russian-led forces claimed new victories on the hottest front lines in Eastern Ukraine. The Peoples militia confirmed control over the villages of Vladimirovka and Tripolie in the Donetsk People’s Republic.

The new advance marked another step towards cutting off the road between the towns of Bakhmut and Soledar, which are among the main strongholds of Ukrainian forces in the Donbass region.

Tripolie and Vladimirovka were taken by the Allied forces together with the 6th separate Cossack regiment of the Luhansk People’s Republic.

In the area of the town of Seversk, after Russian-led forces took control of the town of Grigorovka, clashes broke out for control of Serebryanka coming closer to Seversk from the northern direction. To the east of the town, Ukrainian forces were repelled from their positions in Spornoe and fighting broke out on the outskirts of Ivano-Darievka.

North of Slavyansk, Russian units are preparing a major springboard for an offensive on the city of Slavyansk. On July 11, they claimed control over the town of Bogorodichnoe located on the right bank of the Seversky Donets River north of Slavyansk.

The Ukrainian command is hastily preparing defenses along the Slavyansk — Kramatorsk — Konstantinovka line.

In the other regions, the front lines faced no significant changes.

A relatively neutral Russian newspaper just announced Russia may be getting ready to launch a new offensive:
“Russian General: RF Armed Forces using Kh-31 missiles indicate an imminent offensive

12.07.2022 15:49
World
Retired Air Force Major General Dmitry Istrin believes that the strikes of the Russian Armed Forces with Kh-31 missiles indicate an imminent offensive.”

The reason being Russia is launching precision guided missiles at Ukrainian targets near the front.

Meanwhile..….

“Ukraine urges people of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia to evacuate-—-Ukraine has warned residents in southern Kherson and Zaporizhzhia to evacuate as it prepares to launch a counteroffensive to retake the area.“

Generally who ever launches the offensive first (not always) has the advantage. Gods forbid the two offensives actually meet each other and clash. Incredibly bloody fighting is usually the result.
