“Meanwhile, a massive military Russian buildup signals plans to launch a major offensive in a few weeks from now, aiming to end the war on Moscow’s terms.”

Russia is going to launch a WINTER offensive? That won’t end well.

Their February invasion made sense because they were going into the spring. But a winter offensive? The Russians already have logistical issues and now they want to run an offensive during a season when their army will need MORE supplies?

I already feel bad for all the young Russian men who are going to die.

No young Ukrainian men or women have died.

At least not in the "news" here in the West...

Haha - these idiots can’t even present cohesive propaganda:

I thought it was the US that secretly had all sorts of operatives on the ground and running the show in Ukraine... They got swapped out for the Brits? /s

Yes, we can blow up their satellites too, but can you imagine the impact on our world if GPS stops?

Can we? I seem to recall Cackles Harris say we weren’t going to have ASAT weapons.

As long as there is any Russian Federation military within any of the territories of Ukraine (as the borders were 20 years ago; not counting those areas with the Russian Federation’s military as tenants 20 years ago) then its impossible for anyone (unless they are supporters of mass murder) to side with the Putin regime. This whole conflict in Ukraine is a terrible tragedy of immense human suffering. What is needed is to have a peacekeeping force sent in from neutral countries like Indonesia and Vietnam into the disupted territories to ensure that cease-fires get put in place, that they are strictly enforced, and so that all disputes can be settled through war of words, not violence.

What emerges is that UK Defense Minister Ben Wallace’s secretive visit last week to Washington was more in response to a summons from the White House than a British initiative.

Somebody got caught with their dirty bomb down?
