KYIV — With world leaders focusing their attention on trying to solve the Israel-Hamas conflict, Russian President Vladimir Putin has resumed hammering Ukraine on all fronts.

Over the weekend, Kremlin forces attacked Ukrainian energy infrastructure and struck regions with missiles and drones. Newly replenished Russian forces have also been pressing Ukrainian troops on all parts of the front line.

On Saturday and Sunday, Russia shelled the Kherson region alone more than 200 times, Oleksandr Prokudin, the regional governor, said in a statement.

Biden the “Peace President” didn’t Woodrow Wilson start this excrement just over a century ago about wanting Peace and a War to End All Wars.

100% there is a larger game being played here. Lavrov was in China today, Putin and Xi are to meet Wednesday.

****

You noticed the narrative shift. We’ll see where that goes.

If Putin is hammering the Ukes because we are focused on the Middle East, then I guess we have to . . . . . double down in Ukraine, put advisors on the ground.

Here we go again. Putin is the evil genius who

manipulates US elections

Controls outsider US Presidents as agents

has duped Europe into its green delusions and energy insecurity

has blown up Russia's own pipelines

Has launched a completely unprovoked and unexpected war in Ukraine

Will invade Western Europe as soon as he can

Has Iran controlled like a puppet on strings

is making war on Israel

Has convinced Palestinians to smash themselves like eggs on Israeli rocks

My God, Putin controls everything!

Somebody needs to tell Jo Jo that his buddy Z needs a few more pallets of U.S. currency. Preferably unmarked bills.

Putin and Xi are to meet Wednesday

Expect a major flareup in the Taiwan Strait. How many places are our aircraft carriers going to be at the same time ?
