Finally, non western sources state basically Kiev is now going to be flattened. Lavrov’s speech a few hours ago confirms that. The operation is expected to take one week OR until all objectives have been met.

Hitler lost the Battle of Britain when he shifted from attacking factories and military targets to attacking the British cities and urban population. Putin can do the same thing with the same result.

Good night Ukraine, you poked the Bear once to many.

When the bear attacks someone who is fighting back heroically, we don't blame the victim or cheer on the bear.

None of this would be happening if Putin hadn’t invaded.

It’s about time they took the gloves off.

“24x Kalibr, 64~ KH-101”

That is a very big night for Russian Cruise missiles.

They also attempted an Oreshnik, but it broke up in the air over Kazakhstan.

“Russia is likely targeting energy infrastructure again”

Yes, blackouts in parts of Kyiv.

“I think Putin probably hates us as well.”

Very likely. That’s the problem when we go all over the world “helping” other countries. Everyone ends up hating us.

Taking the gloves off according to Russian law , means declaring war. Vlad is still not willing to do that, he by law is still classifying Ukraine as an SMO. Westerners have no concept or idea the restraint Vlad has shown.

If the Duma declares war, the Russian Neo Cons can attack the EU and all parties supplying weapons. Vlad is under pressure from their own Neo cons to just nuke Ukraine and finish it.

I laugh at all the idiots wanting to get rid of Putin, if they did, the entire EU would be a huge smoldering hole.

When a moron tourist in Yellowstone tries to take a selfie next to a bison, and the bison depantses, gores, and tosses the tourist in the air, we give said tourist a Darwin Award.

There’s a very fine line between bravery and stupidity. Zelenskyy crossed it many times.

The Russians claim that they are winning the war and do not need a negotiated peace to get what they want.

The Ukrainians claim they are winning and Russia will soon collapse so they do not need to make any concessions to Russia. Kind of far apart on terms so it looks like the two are going to have figure this out on their own. Too bad so many are going to have to die and so much is going to be destroyed in the process.

Post War Ukraine is not going to be a fun place to be and things may get a bit lean in Russia too.

Ukraine is becoming the testing ground for numerous foreign weapons systems.
Expect to see a few of Kimmy’s Longdong (or Nodong) missiles too.

Putin's "comrades in arms," the North Koreans, have also imposed belt-tightening measures. The daily ration of bark soup has been cut in half!

The Ukies have been bombing the ethnic Russian provinces since 2014.

“If it is true, it’s Z’s and the CIA’s ultimate in your face to Donald Trump and America.”

What planet U live on? Ukraine is a free sovereign nation that is whacking Russian invaders here. This has zero to so with Trump and CIA.
Ukraine is doing the same thing you would do, shooting back at some home invaders.

“The Ukies went after Russia’s Strategic Nuclear forces, they will now pay a very, very heavy price for the stunt.”

So claims Vlad Putin’s PR man here. Go live there since you love anti-GloboHomo so much.

Putin has many dupes here who believe Ukraine invaded Russia. Same as during the Cold War, we had many communist dupes who defended everything the USSR did. Back then, many European peacenik organizations that staged street protests, received secret funding from the Kremlin.

So, to be clear, destroying enemy military facilities is BAD!

Killing civilians on the enemy side is GOOD!

How have we gotten here?

There is no denying Kiev and targets all across Ukraine are receiving a huge spanking for their stunt. I suspect Vlad will show little restraint this next week and rightfully so.

Messing with Russia’s nuclear forces is the most brain dead move yet, they deserve a very, very severe retaliation strike for trying to start WW III.
