[Its All Over Except ...]

EU foreign affairs chief Joseph Borrell is obviously being paid by Putin, as is NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg (in the article below).

Typical bureaucrat..........says the war will be over in weeks if no ammo is supplied, then schedules a meeting 3 weeks away....... hahahaha they don’t get much more incompetent these days.

The Hindustan Times is a Putinist organ which pumps doggerel. Nobody is in a panic. The Ukrainians are rolling back this supposed “offensive.”

[Worldtraveler once upon a time]

Given that Russia is about 145 million people, Ukraine was about 45 million though many have fled, and the European Union about 450 million people — not adding in the US as a people and a GDP — Borrell’s foolish braggadocio has been wrong and more wrong. If the 450 million people of the EU, as represented by their industry, are unable to match the war materiel production of 145 million in Russia, and without regard to which side one might cheer on in this mess, then the condemnation of the EU, 2 and 1/2 times larger supposedly in population and many times in supposed GDP, is demonstrably ineffectual. Why is that?

Ignoring all the cheerleading for one side or the other, the glaring fact is that Borrell's admission -- "...unless the bloc finds a way to speed up provision of ammunition to Ukraine within weeks...." -- is that the "bloc" which is bigger than its opposition is fumbling and thereby weak. A bad mix for the supposedly enlightened European Union, which is headed by the once defense minister of Germany when Germany could not mount even a war game without simulating weapons. Borrell has been a blowhard, but now grown into a paper tiger.

Joe the dummy left the ammo in Ukraine.

[Repealthe17thAmendment]

It's likely Russia will end the war if they are able to control Luhansk and Donetsk. These areas were already predominantly Russian in culture, and were negotiated in the Minsk agreements in 2014. Crimea was also basically settled as being returned to Russian control in 2014. This is really the only disputed territory, but those who favor alternate agendas prefer not to concentrate on this element.

The real tragedy of this war is how many lives have been lost, and how many billions of dollars have been wasted on a dispute that was almost settled peacefully about nine years ago.

We need a Biden balloon airlift of ordnance.

BUT there should have been a secret plan to give Ukes fighter jets...Biden really effed up.
