Martin is a legendary forecaster, like him or not, he has been right on for two decades.
“Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky rode to power on pledges to clean up the Eastern European country, but the Pandora Papers reveal he and his close circle were the beneficiaries of a network of offshore companies, including some that owned expensive London property.”
No surprise, St Zelensky is a crook, everything tied to Ukraine is corrupt. The quicker the world realizes they have been deceived by this crook, the better.
I’m reading Russia is on the advance. Here comes more, unnecessary pain.
Any leader in a war is “responsible” for deaths. Lincoln, FDR, Churchill. The real responsibility in this war belongs with Putin. The only alternative to fighting was surrender. We know now what Hitler had planned for Britain. He intended to eliminate the entire male population. Those who become prisoners or subjects accept their lot and have no control over it. Those who fight and die do so that others may live.
At least Walter Cronkite was able to tell us how many died by government estimate each week during the Vietnam War.
The casualty figures in this war are so secret if someone really came out with them they would be arrested IMHO.
“You can, too. Just call toll-free, ‘The Biden School of Making it Big in Government.’”
“And do it today.”
No polling or anything, but I suspect that the vast majority of people living outside of Russian-speaking regions would have been happy to keep the pre-2014 status quo, where Ukraine wasn’t into ethnic ‘purification’...given the war they now have to deal with.
But that was too much for our Neocon plotters in DC, who were (and are) hell-bent on overthrowing the Russian government and dismembering that country. So they got some useful puppets in place and so here we are.
Not true. I think things could have been worked out far in advance of the fighting, but we did nothing to negotiate and allowed Russia to build their forces.
We wanted this war. There is no doubt about that.
Even if Ukraine wanted to negotiate we would not let them.
Wow... People die in war?
Pretty sure that for every Ukrainian death there have been double the amount of Ruzzian deaths. It’s always easier and lest costly in human life to defend, than it is to attack.
The Russian in Ukraine are responsible for their deaths. This is BS propaganda.
May all the supporters of this war around the world pack up and go fight on their chosen side
If you look at what Putin wanted, there was nothing to negotiate. He wanted the West to do to Ukraine what Britain and France did to Czechoslovakia. Also, like everything else we deal with today, the issue was never the issue. Putin got a huge popularity boost with the annexation of Crimea. He had an election coming up. At the last election there was significant unrest because anywhere from 129 percent to 150 percent of the registered population voted. He put down the protests, but they were a danger to him. If he bloodlessly won Ukraine, he’d be popular again. Therefore, he asked for things the West and Ukraine couldn’t give him. Thus, he established he was willing to negotiate, and the West was the cause of the war...which would take him only three days. But he was operating on bad information which is a danger when everyone you don’t like falls out of windows.
Sure, Ukrainians wanted to be slaves of Putin, except for some CIA mind control we pulled. Okay
“legendary forecaster” in his own mind that is always wrong and repeatedly spouts Russian propaganda.
Retired former Gen. Krivonos who is being investigated for looting.
More propaganda from a pro-Putin Freeper..
Putin, even demanded NATO withdraw from eastern Europe, Poland, Baltics, etc.
Russia said on Friday it wanted a legally binding guarantee that NATO would give up any military activity in Eastern Europe and Ukraine, part of a wish list of security guarantees it wants to negotiate with the West.-Dec 17, 2021

Wow. Grossly oversimplify much? What he said is true. We would NEVER allow Ukraine to negotiate because if they did, it would interfere with NATOs plans to carve up Russia.
CIA mind control? Really? Good God man, put down the crack pipe.
