[Alas Babylon!]

There is one who is the General of the Armies (six star).

Hint: It’s historic.

If Ukraine would have agreed to NOT seek NATO membership, the war could have been avoided.

Correct. Add to that, Ukraine has been denied access to both NATO and the EU, from day one of their “ Independence “ in 1991. Ever wonder why?

“Zelensky does not even speak Ukrainian”

According to Wikipedia, his “first role in the Ukrainian language was the romantic comedy I, You, He, She.

How many Irish speak Gaelic? Doesn’t mean they love the English.

Typo in your post, Fleet Admiral would be O-11, not O-10. Also, the Navy and Coast Guard do not use the term “Full Bird”, since there is no confusion between O-5 (Commander) and O-6 (Captain). The Army, Air Force, Marine Corps, Space Force have O-5 (Lieutenant Colonel) silver oak leaves and O-6 (Colonel) silver eagle, so the term “Full Bird” comes from the actual O-6 Colonel rank having the eagle insignia, not the oak leaves of the O-5 Lieutenant Colonel though they both share the conversational title of “Colonel”.

Yeah, you answer a question with a new question. Clever.

[Tell the Syrians, them probably being good, radical Moslems, that there are thousands of Christians they can kill for their god and ever more women they can have for their reward and entertainment after they’ve killed the men. And I’m not joking on this one.]

If they’re recruiting Assad’s men, they’re going to be beer-drinking Alawites, i.e. not really Muslims, and considered heretics by actual Muslims. Assad’s dad purchased a tame Sunni imam who declared Alawites to be card-carrying Muslims. But in a world where even the much more numerous Shias are considered heretical, a single imam’s declaration hasn’t done much to change minds. Alawites are basically like Episcopalians in their religious beliefs - any interest in religion is purely identity-related rather than participatory.

Alawites who show up in Ukraine are gonna be looking out for #1 first and foremost. That probably means surrendering to Ukrainians who would probably be glad to funnel them to Poland, after debriefing them about Russian troop dispositions that they haven’t already gleaned from drone video and whatever intel we’ve been sharing with them.

If Zelensky were a fraud, why didn’t he bail out of there. He could be a PoliSci instructor at UC Berkeley by now.

Oh how I recall these photos from when Maidan thugs set fire to that Building In Odessa - they celebrated as they blocked the doors so people couldn't get out while continuing to throw cocktails in th windows - one the most hrroifying happenings I ever have seen...and our news was mostly silent on it. I was so angered! I covered this on our threads here on FR...these people are beasts of the worst kind.

Your weird blog link doesn’t explain how Putin intends to keep Ukraine in check.

Maybe he will use a blog?

[larrytown]

One’s dead, and one isn’t. That’s a difference too.

Cool, thanks for the help.

Ukraine just needs to surrender. Best for its people. They are getting stomped and the longer it goes, the more the west wants to intervene, then it goes nuclear. Nobody wants nuclear war.

[Bulwyf]

That’s a big reason, there’s more, but all people see on the media is support Ukraine and everyone jumps on that wagon with no questions asked. The Media lied their faces off for the last two years about Covid and I guess people forgot that already.
