Yes. Thanks for bringing that up. Updated maps of the situation are here.

I suppose Ian is a stupid Brit?
Is he suggesting that “The walls are closing in”?
Sure do get the impression that much of the fighting is being conducted by NATO special forces (British SAS, SBS, French DSG, German KSK (Kommando Spezialkräfte), and I’d bet we’re in there with Delta and Six). The tactics - lightening strikes, envelopment, etc are hallmarks of commando operations. Driving the enemies’ retreat into pre-prepared ambushes, etc.
Make no mistake about it, Vlad’s life is on the line with this war, and if I’m betting, I’ll take Vlad for even money. The only question is will it be over or under 10 million killed.
The article keeps referring to a mass grave being exhumed as possible evidence of atrocities. Victims with the their hands bound behind their back.
Yet the photo evidence offered is of a MARKED grave with a coffin.
Don’t believe a word of it until he’s either dead or suddenly disappears.
He invented that style of bad government. Whoever takes his place will either perfect it, or screw it up so bad that it explodes in his face. Hard to say which would be worse. Do you let go of the bear’s tail, or hang on for dear life? Hard to say which would be worse.
-——he has almost tripled defence spending-—
The reality is that like all things Russian, the money was vaporized into the air of omnipresent corruption. The air absorbing the money was both corrupt Generals and maybe Colonels, and the Oligarchs who sit at the table as CEO’s of the companies that use what is left to make some weapons.
The failure of the Russian military in the field is proof that the money was mis spent
And that raises the question. Where is the much hyped Russian Air Force?
For years, Putin in salesman ship on the order of My Pillow spokesman Mike Lidell, Flew his planes all over the world to show them off. When needed, they aren’t there
They wil get a Soros friendly Government im Russia, A/K/A, a Soeros puppet in the style of Ukraine and everything will be good. Everyone will be happy. The Soros worshipers will be happy. The media will be happy. The Globalists will be happy.
The media
Ukraine may still lose against Russia.
But here’s the thing. Russia has one of the largest militaries in the world. They should have been able to just steamroller Ukraine within 100 hours. It should have been the equivalent of the US invasion of Iraq when the country fell. Putin was wanting to show the world that the Russian military is still one of the strongest in the world. Instead it has shown the world that the once powerful Soviet Army is but a hollow shell of it’s former glory.
Russia does have more men and equipment and may be able to grind Ukraine down but it is rapidly turning into Afghanistan 1980 part 2 for them. And that didn’t go well for them.
Ukraine is a nice country run by criminal thugs. Just like most of the other former Soviet republics. But that doesn’t mean that we should turn a blind eye to Russian expansion. Does anyone think that Russia would stop at invading Ukraine if the rest of the world ignored Ukraine. We went through this in the 1930s when no one challenged Hitler. I don’t like spending tax dollars on other countries wars. But I also don’t like spending even more on a European war when it could have been stopped early on.
The world is their oyster. (they think)
Arrogant know it alls. Wherever they go suffering and misery follows. Coming soon to us. Our cup will be running over.
