War in Ukraine

Great summation of the overall current state of things in Ukraine...from Larry Johnson LINK TO ARTICLE

If you want to know how the war is going in Ukraine, you only needed to take note of one piece of “news” today–Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin called his Russian counterpart:

US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin spoke with his Russian counterpart for the first time since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the Pentagon announced on Friday.
The call lasted approximately an hour and was at the request of Austin, who used the first call between the two in 84 days to urge Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu to implement an “immediate ceasefire,” according to a brief readout of the call. The two last spoke on February 18, a week before Russia launched its invasion of Ukraine.
CNN​
If Russia was losing or completely stuck in Ukraine, one would expect that Sergei Shoigu would be the guy calling Austin and begging for mercy. Well, that is not what happened. It was Austin that placed the call, apparently unconcerned about his recent public call to weaken Russia. Why would Austin urge Shoigu to implement an “immediate ceasefire” if Russia was getting its ass kicked? Russia getting whipped by Ukraine is exactly what Austin has called for. Remember?

“We want to see Russia weakened to the degree that it can’t do the kinds of things that it has done in invading Ukraine. . .”​
If Russia is on the ropes, why call off the beating? You call off the fight when its your guy getting pummeled. The Russian offensive in the Donbass has ramped up significantly in the last week and it is carving up entrenched Ukrainian units with no hope of being reinforced or rescued by a counter-offensive.

Let's see if the Ukrainiacs have an answer for this. Never thought I would be thinking this, but it looks like that of all entities that might put the brakes on this escalation, it may end up being the Pentagon.

Yeah but Ukraine won the highly important and highly strategic "battle" of Kharkiv, so obviously they are winning. Plus, have you seen the video of the tractors?? Durr durr durr.

Glad to see these liberated people enjoying themselves.
Still been waiting 8 years for those Crimeans to start rebelling against the Russians. Now looks like we have to wait on Mariupol, Kherson, Mykolaiv, etc. to start revolting against these evil Russian invaders.

Kherson has started a bit. That was where they whacked the general I believe one dead general ago? But hey Kharkiv doesn’t have to wait they can start right now Moe woohoo! 🤡

Oh and add Mykolaiv to the list that can start partying now too. And Odessa never stopped partying woohoo!
 
If you think they are the same race then you need to share your feelings with people who are actually Russian and Ukrainian. I bet they will be real receptive of your opinion.

Many of these ethnic Russians have lived in the Donbass region of Ukraine for centuries. It is their homeland. Just like at one time what is known as Western Ukraine was the homeland for many Poles.
What's their secret to longevity? Turnips and vodka?

You know there's a difference between race and nationality.
