Russia bombards more than 40 Donbas towns
Telegraph ^ | 5/26/22 | Staff

Posted on 05/26/2022 7:13:15 AM PDT by JonPreston

The bombardment threatens to shut off the last main escape route for civilians trapped in the path of the invasion, which continues into its fourth month.

Russia has poured thousands of troops into the region, attacking from three sides in an attempt to encircle Ukrainian forces holding out in the city of Sievierodonetsk and its twin Lysychansk.

Why would they bomb a pro-Russian enclave?

Within the enclave are Azov Nazis, posing as NATO wannabees

Providing arms to the Ukraine will prolong the war, increase the suffering and the likelihood of a world nuclear war.

Yes, the whole war has been a succession of Russia trying to bite off more than they could chew, getting frustrated, then scaling back their goals, and repeating the process. Maybe they have finally scaled back enough to where they can bring a superiority of forces to a smaller area of the battlefield and make progress.

But it has been a very costly process for their leadership to figure this out.

You didn’t tell me anything because you didn’t speak. Besides, I wouldn’t give two sh*ts if you told me to my face.

What is the incentive for Zelensky to stop this carnage? We have already provided up to $60 billion as a down payment. The Biden Administration is calling for a Marshall Plan for Ukraine, which would be implemented even with ongoing hostilities. Zelensky wants $5 billion a month to keep the country operating.

Ukraine is one of the most corrupt countries in the world. It’s per capita GDP is $12,400, just $100 more than Cuba’s. Does anyone think that this aid will be spent wisely? Most of it will go to the oligarchs, including Zelensky.

“Within the enclave are Azov Nazis..”

Do they have a Nazi factory over there somewhere? They must breed like rabbits. At the beginning there were only 2 small regions where these alleged Nazis hung out.

Now they’re everywhere Russia says they are even tho they’ve been getting slaughtered (allegedly). Looks to me like the Russians, and more than a few gullible Freepers, are swallowing Russian BS like it was prime steak.

And if they are Nazis where are the death camps? They should be so big we can spot them from orbit. Where are all those Ukrainian Jews wearing yellow stars? Why don’t we see any of those?

You’re a tool, Jon. A very, very dull one, but a tool nonetheless. Stalin had a phrase coined for people like you. “Useful idiots”. And it fits you like a glove.

The targets are the positions of the AFU and deployed territorial defenses, which have been attacking Donbass for 7 years and those more recently deployed

Videos are showing very accurate artillery targeting of AFU military firing positions

The Russian goal is demilitarization. Proceeding despite AFU taking positions in civilian homes

Russians are firing shells with surrender leaflets as well as broadcasting details on surrender procedures to AFU units on FM radio

You don’t usually bomb the hell out of territory you’ve conquered. Doesn’t sound anywhere near over.

This is the part of Ukraine that Russia really wants. For its corridor to the Black Sea ports. So what does scumbag Putin do? He demolishes these towns and cities with artillery. Killing, maiming and so on.

Many of these routed civilians were pro-Russia a few months ago. But not anymore.

“The Russian goal is demilitarization.”

What is their legal justification for that? Would you be okay with the Mexican government shelling San Antonio for the same reason?

It ain’t. And if you actually believe it is you’re dumb as Putin.

No, for Russia, that is just a bonus!

He has none at this point. He's going to milk this for all it's worth, just like biden and nato. Lots of free money to be had by all of the corrupt players.

Citing UN rules legally justifying use of force to assist newly-declared and recognized ( by Russian Duma) independent republics under attack

Like we did in Kosovo

“And you are a Neocon Blood Dancer”

You’re the one cheering on a communist KGB agent who murdered his way into power, not me.

For the record don’t like either side here. I think we should stay the hell out of it.

But according to you chowderheads there are more Nazis in Ukraine than there were in Berlin in 1942.
