The Ukrainians have been receiving replacement equipment from Nato and the US.
The Prez of the Ukraine has decreed that no one is allowed to make any negative comments about the poor quality of the new old replacement equipment from the west.The Ukrainian Nazis are now waiting to receive the west’s wonder weapons to save them.
Now where have I heard that statement before?
Oh yeah, the WW2 German Nazis said that too before losing the war!Do you do/say all of these things when you are winning the war?
Today there was some talk of the wounded being evacuated from the Mariupol steel plant’s tunnels but not by the UN. Rumor has it 51 Ukrainian wounded were evacuated. Another rumor said these were from a small group trapped apart from the main body of the trapped Neo-Nazis. This has allowed them to make their own decision.
Later there have been reports that the neo-nazis in Mariupol had surrendered but that seems misleading. Another report said 300 wounded have been evacuated by bus. Confusion reigns for now.
So the Ukraine is going to raise another million man army!
Commuissars are issuing draft summons at gas line queues, stores, post offices, etc, and even going door to door!
Ukrainian draft dodgers have simply gone into hiding!
They don’t want to be that last Ukrainian!That is the nice thing about propaganda.
You only have to say it.
You don’t actually have to do it!Neo-Nazi officers are escorting small groups of 50 to 70 year old men to the front lines.
Once they reach the front lines, the Nazis officers then abandon the men to their fate.
The Nazis leave the front lines quickly because they don’t want to die.The actions of the winning side!

Just one slight problem for Michael. He lives on the island of Newfoundland. I would be very surprised if there are any oak trees growing in his neck of the woods! So obtaining some acorns might prove difficult! And if there are any oak trees growing in Newfoundland, I seriously doubt the local squirrel population would be willing to share any acorns with Michael!
There was a British General and someone asked him what the key to his success was.
He said 3 things were key.
1. Never march on Moscow!
2. Never march on Moscow!
3. Never march on Moscow!Poor Joe doesn’t know he is marching on Moscow!
I think the real reason the painting took 3 years is due to a shortage of paint!
Britain had a trade embargo on all of Europe held by Napoleon!
Britain was still trading with Russia.
That is why Napoleon marched on Moscow!Joe is marching to Moscow!
No need to worry about winter clothing Joe!
You should reach Moscow before winter sets in!How appropriate! Napoleon!
Napoleon knows all about annoying Mother Russia!
I think Napoleon would say never march on Moscow!
Hitler would probably say don’t March on Moscow too!
Biden is determined to March on Moscow!
After seeing what happened to Napoleon and Hitler, Biden will fail too!
Russia can retreat forever.
Can Europe and the US survive this coming winter’s discontent?Michael Reid:
My experience of making bread out of anything but wheat, never really turned out very well.
Have you planted your flax yet?We are still fighting the Ukrainian War to the last Ukrainian.
Russia has been moving it’s small forces around to pick apart the fixed Ukrainian Donbas defensive positions.
Russians can move while the Ukrainians can not move.
When the Ukrainians try to move they die immediately.
When Ukrainians die, they die alone out of sight unnoticed.
Kill ratios are now between 10 and 20 to 1
The Russians are making steady progress in closing the Donbas cauldron.
The Donbas Ukrainians are getting closer to their breaking point.
The tell is MSM doesn’t feature the Ukraine anymore.
The MSM has moved on.
So when the Ukraine collapses, it will be a non-event.Military Museum curators in Europe are getting very upset because Natio keeps repeatedly confiscating all of the Museum’s best working military models to send to the Ukraine. A German military Museum curator, Adolf, complained that Nato had even taken all of their Panzer 4 tanks to send to the Ukraine! A Hungarian military museum curator complained that Nato had even confiscated all of their Mig 1 and 2 fighter planes to send to the Ukraine!
Regarding not so special prosecutor Durham. First he is not allowed to investigate andy current or former government employees. Now you know why he is so special. He is toothless.
The judge of the case, Cooper, is a badly conflicted judge appointed by Obama and married to a wife who is badly conflicted too. Political incest at it’s very best!
So Durham won 22 emails out of over 1,500. That is a victory? Since Sussmann is a lawyer most of his paperwork is protected. Same for Fusion. Same for Hillary. Yes a true mockery of justice, DC style.
Sussmann has little to worry about even if he is nominally convicted of lying. At most he faces a reprimand. He won’t be disbarred.
Durham will succeed in convicting nobody. Those were the terms of his appointment by Barr. And so it will happen.
Regarding Professor Hudson:
Please keep in mind he comes at things with a socialist’s view point that governments should be making all of a country’s capital investments decisions. We all know how that turns out.
His analysis of capitalism is slanted towards communism. I have lived and worked in two communist countries. Yes they were perfect workers paradises. You would absolutely love it there.
Russian Shock Treatment.
Two Russian friends were discussing the glowing propaganda regarding working in Siberia. After much discussion, they decided only one of them would go to see if this was really true. Once in Siberia the friend would write a letter back to the friend who stayed behind. If the propaganda was true the letter would be written in black ink. If the letter was written in red ink, then the propaganda was false and don’t come.
So after a few months had gone by, the friend who had remained in Russia finally received a letter from his friend now in Siberia. The letter, written in black ink, talked in glowing terms of how wonderful life was in Siberia. At the very bottom of the letter the friend said. P.S. There is no red ink in Siberia!
During Obamas time remember we were supposed to sign a Pacific trade treaty?
The main feature of the trade treaty was all signing countries agreed to give up their individual country’s sovereignty rights to a council of international corporations. This corporate appointed council would determine all trade disputes between the countries.We just barely dodged this Obama bullet!
F.S.:
I am often surprised at how few people are even aware of the Dec-Mar 1939-40 Winter War that followed shortly after the German/Russian Sept/Oct 1939 conquest of Poland. This was a result of an earier pact Germany and Russian had signed. Germany conceded Finland and the 3 Baltic states as Russian pheres of influence giving Russia a free hand to do whatever they wanted.
Supposedly Finland’s border was too close to Leningrad so Russia wanted to swap land (I.e unproductive forest land up north for Finland’s best southern farmland). The Finns did not trust Russia.
One possible mistake the Finns may have made, when negotiating, was not realizing the significance of Stalin being personally involved in the negotiating meetings. This personal involvement meant he was sincere?/serious about swapping land. Naturally Stalin wanted land above the only Finnish defensive point, the Mannheim line. Accepting this meant the Finns would leave themselves wide open to a future sudden attack on Helsinki. In the end Finnish distrust of Stalin prevailed. It is interesting to note the 3 Baltic states got none of Stalin’s personnal involvement in their fate.
When Russia invaded Finland, they did not realize how poor condition their army’s leadership was in. In the late 1930s the Russian army had expanded greatly but in 1938 Stalin had purged/shot most of the existing experienced officers and generals 50,000? because he feared them.
Replacement officers also included a equal rank but politically superior commusar. The army officer had to first get approval of the commusar before he could do anything. The commusuars emphasized political endocrination as more important than army training. There were many stories of the political commusars shooting the army officers for disloyalty to the communist party. Thus many army officers dared not do anything that might upset their commusars. Stalin might have felt more secure but that meant the Russian army couldn’t operate properly nor efficiently. This hidden defect in the Russian army’s command structure is what made it possible for Finland to hold out for nearly 3 months despite being ill prepaared for war.
The Finns did have one thing going for them, a handful of good experienced generals and staff officers. The Finns’s top general, Mannheim, was an experienced officer in the Czars Russian army. Many staff officers had fought in the German army. All had fought against the communist take over attempt of Finland after the1917 Russian revolution. So Finland had generally good army leadership when war broke out despite little modern equipement. What they had, had come from the Czars army when Finland had declared independence from Russia in 1917.
This initial poor performance of the Russian army is probably what lead Hitler to summarized that to conquere Russia, all one had to do was kick in the front door and Russia would immediately collapse. What Hitler overlooked was immediately after the Winter War was over, Stalin started to bring back many of the experienced officers he had purged in 1938 to try and improve the Russia army’s fighting capabilities. He may have also limited the commusars powers too.
From a Russian point of view, imagine what would have happened if Stalin had not brought back some of the Russian army’s most experiencer officers in 1940, to improve the Russian army, driven by the poor showing in the Winter War against Finland?
Germany came dam close to defeating a 1941 Russia army as was. Against a 1940 year prepared Russian army, Germans would have probably won.
So the Winter War experience with Finland in 1939-40, is probably what saved Russia from Germany in WW2. So much for an insignificant Winter War that nobody knows anything about!
When Biden says he is working on something, it is true.
He just forgets to say he is working hard against you!So Congress can’t just fast track $40 billion without any paperwork.
They actually have to pass a $40 billion bill.
Poor critters.Have noticed the Ukrainians are now shoving untrained reservists into the Donbas line of contact. There they get to die all alone and in silence. The neo-nazis have been pulled back into the second line to shoot any reservists trying to retreat or surrender. Clearly the behavior of a winning side.
Global Wars:
Everywhere you look there is a global war being waged against us, little people.
There is now deathly silence coming from the war in the Ukraine. Since people are now dying of artillery shelling, well out of sight, there are no opportunities to make any interesting videos.
There is a US self inflicted energy war being imposed on us, by our own masters. Why today Biden just cancelled all oil and gas leases in Alaska. I guess he forgot about Alaska, after earlier canceling all onshore and offshore federal oil and gas leases in the US. Biden has also started pumping the US oil reserves dry. Biden has also forbidden banks from financing oil and gas companies too. All of these steps, and more, have been taken with your best interests in mind!
Reducing food production is another war against us, altogether! US railways have been ordered to strictly limit shipping of urgently needed fertilizer within thee US. Naturally US food processing plants that never ever caught fire before are now all of a sudden catching fire or even blowing up!
Killing of US babies is now approved at the highest levels of US government. Producing baby formula hasn’t been allowed for 3 months. Abortion is clearly eing protected. At least they are being consistent.
Then there is the war on our money. The Fed is pleased that interest rates are only at 0.5% while inflation rages at double digits. The Fed is also very pleased that nobody is pressuring them to hurry in raising interest rates to fight inflation.
Then there is the ongoing war on our freedom of expression. The Ministry of Truth’s new illegal czar now wants the power to rewrite everything you say!
The WHO wants to impose an international vaccine passport to be able to control our ability to travel anywhere. Not vaxxed, then you can not board a bus, train, or airplane. Your local government can then easily further restrict your movements, like from even leaving your home.
Then there is the ongoing war being actively waged on our personal health. The covididiots are already dying before our very eyes, if you dare open your eyes. Average life expectancy is falling. The covididiots are blaming the non-vaxxed for all their problems and for not selfishly wanting to die with them.
Then there is the ongoing propaganda war against us. Every year the propaganda pressure against us keeps increasing. The level of mind pollution is sickening.
I am so sick and tired of all of these wars being waged against us. I am sure I forgot to mention a whole bunch more wars currently being waged against us.
So I hope you don’t mind if I take a badly needed nap where I can dream of opening the island cottage even though I know the melting river ice crushed my fixed docks into tooth picks.
World’s reserve currencies: False Dreaming
If like China, a country that wants to retain complete control of their currency, it becomes automatically impossible for others to use it as a reserve currency. With China there are already rumors out there that China may devalue their currency by as much as 20% because the value of the Japanese Yen has recently fallen against the USD, making China’s exports less competitive.
So do you really want to hold Chinese currency that can be suddenly devalued by the Chinese government overnight? Besides the Chinese peg their currency and the Hong Kong’s dollar to the USD! So you might as well hold USD instead!
Another problem of dealing with a closed currency like China is how do you earn Chinese currency? You can not! China does not run trade deficits, only trade surpluses!
The above are the very reasons China would dearly love it if you did accept their currency! It would give them total control over you just as it does over their own citizens!
So dreaming of creating a new fairer socialist’s world reserve currency using a basket of currencies and linked to commodities?
Well have you noticed how stable commodity prices are these days? Yesterday? Will the commodity your country produces even be linked? If, yes, how much weight will it be given? Have you noticed how stable any basket of constantly inflated fiat currencies is today or yesterday? How much weight would your country be given in the currency basket? Besides how much gold does your country hold? Besides who gets to make these decisions anyway? The Golden rule?
Guaranteed you won’t be a happy camper because you can’t get something for nothing! You know, like your favorite past time of printing unlimited free money! What if perennial deadbeats like Argentina and Greece want to join? Has your dream become a nightmare now?
Will the USD remain king? For now, yes. Forever, no! The WEF wants to impose a world digital currency on even the US!
It isn’t well known that the Ukrainian neo-nazis were involved big in human trafficking.
Before Russia was goaded into a war with the Ukraine, it is interesting to note the Ukrainian army consisted of 102,000 neo-nazis, 250,000 regular army, and about 300,000 reserves. Obviously after 2 months of war those numbers have been reduced. Best guesses run at about 50,000 KIA, wounded, or captured.
What stands out as abnormal is the size of the non-regular army, the neo-nazis.
How do you attract so many people to join the neo-nazi army? Many of these recruits are likely maladjusted misfits. The best way to attract these types of people is to give them a sense of belonging, power, drugs, and not least of all, an endless supply of young girls.Clearly the top neo-nazi stuck in Mariupol’s steel plant got first pick of the young girls. Likely she is still there with him.
I once read an account from a German Panzer tanker fighting on the eastern front in Russia. They were in a sudden retreat and the tanks were running very low on fuel. Along comes a convoy of covered trucks lead by a high ranking German officer demanding to be allowed to pass, requiring the tanks to move off the road.
The Panzer officer was badly out ranked but was outraged because only the tanks could save them all from the rapidly approaching Russians. The high ranking truck officer refused to give the tankers any badly needed gas. The enraged tanker then swung his tank gun and pointed it at the high ranking German officer, which yielded the desired result. The gas in the covered trucks was syphoned out and put into the tanks.
The German tank crews curious as to what was in the covered trucks that could be so valuable, worth more than their miserable lives, discovered it was a moble brothel full of drugged girls for German officers!
On a funny note, if you can call war that. The Russians noticed an Ukrainian unit had called an officers meeting at the unit’s headquarters. Instead of immediately shelling it, the Russians waited. After the meeting was under way, the Russians shelled the Ukrainian unit’s headquarters. Survivors where then observed running out of the headquarters naked!
Phoenixvoice:
I often wonder what it takes for a person to question the official narratives spewed daily by our masters.
Intelligence is very helpful but I don’t think it, on it’s own, can do so without some other trait.
I would not exactly classify myself as intelligent so obviously some other trait is at play.
I must confess that my Father often quietly questioned narratives.
Growing up I always wanted to know how things really worked.
Why could a Swiss watch still work if I had a few gears left over?
Thus my technical education.
I suspect some world travel in my early adult years was my trigger.
So for me to question economic, political, health, etc narratives comes naturally.
I still haven’t fully understood why most people can’t figure out they have been lied to.
I know it is partly a combination of human psychological and emotional traits overwhelming common sense.
I do know under duress, common sense is not as common as it should be.Gonzalo Lira:
Since his arrest he has switched to topics outside of the Ukraine.
No surprise here.
He has safe and unsafe topics.The war on the west’s vaccinated people is just starting to be noticed.
Unexpected and sudden deaths can only go unnoticed for so long.
Dogs causing hepatitis in kids only works for those with dogs.
Vaccines good for increasing demand for doctors, hospitals, drugs, and undertakers.
Vaccines great for reducing average life expectancy.Here in Ontario at least half the people are still wearing masks.
Clearly fear was driven deeply into these people.
They are likely also the vaxxed.
The vaxxed should be scared but they don’t know that yet.
Somewhere anger will surface amoung the vaxxed.
But I know better than to hold my breath.Aspnaz:
I suspect Xi is killing 2 birds with one stone.
His internal enemies and an external one for good measure.
I know fertilizer is one export China isn’t currently allowing which amplifies Russian actions.
The problem for us little peons is we will all be dead before the truth ever emerges.Dr. D:
China is targeting the west, not covid.
China is only locking down exporting port cities.
You can turn covid off by just ignoring it!
The west’s ports, railways, and trucks are being shut down.
Shortages of goods to move is why.
You can’t just turn the west’s supply chain back on.Hundreds, if not thousands, more Ukrainians just got silently cancelled today.
Being cancelled means any evidence that you ever existed, are permanently erased.
Canceling creates no noise, only an empty void of silence.Who is the US trying to cancel?
The east or the west?
The US wants regime change in Russia.
Will Russia get regime change in the US, instead?Professor:
Your “little skiff” comment reminded me of a boat trip my Wife and I took from Kingston to Ottawa and back via the inland Rideau Canal.
We had a 16 foot power boat. At the first set of locks at Kingston there was quite a long line up of big boats waiting to enter the locks. Being at the end of the long que, we were pleasantly surprised to be called by the lock master to enter the lock, ahead of many still waiting big boats The lock was already full with large boats but we were directed to enter up the middle, in-between the big boats.
As we slowly entered up the middle of the lock, we were surprised at how helpful the people on the big boats were. They all had their long poles ready to help guide us up the middle of the lock, between their big boats. As the now closed lock filled up with water, the people in the big boats, on either side of us, used their poles to helped us maintain our middle position in the swirling flow of water. This process was repeated 4 more times as this set of locks had 4 locks, each raising us about 20 feet a lock.
After exiting the lock first, before all of the big boats, I said to my Wife the rich bastards were more worried about our crappy boat scratching the paint on the sides of their beautiful big boats, than helping us!
Every once in a while, a big boat would reposition some of their boat bumpers so we could hold onto the sides of their boat as the lock waters swirled around us. We soon learned these were friendly folks.
One little interesting tidbit I read, if true, said the Canadian General was caught in a sewer pipe trying to escape from the Mariupol steel plant while the first hostages were being released. I guess not even a sewer rat, never mind a fly, can escape!
Gas Price War:
It would appear that the deranged psychopath that controls gas prices is still alive and well!
I remember noticing “it” way back in the 1960s, well before I could drive!
Prices always rose before long weekends.
“It” always raised gas prices when your tank was running on empty!
“It” always lowered gas prices when your tank was full!
No matter how hard you tried to out smart “it”, “it” always out smarted you!Observing what Russia is doing in the Ukraine reminds me of what Russia did in Syria.
Russia has put pressure on only certain parts of the Ukraine. This has forced the Ukraine to defend it’s major cities at the expense of supporting the eastern Donbas front. Russia has left the route open for the Ukrainians and Nato to try and reinforce the Donbas front. Russia has shaped the battlefield. It has done all of this using a smaller attacking force.
In the early first phase, Russia took calculated risks in moving quickly with light mobile forces. This move exposed these mobile forces to higher levels of casualties. Now in the second phase, Russia has consolidated and secured it’s gains and moved to greatly reduce the risks it’s attacking forces are now exposed to.
Now it is the fixed Ukrainian Donbas forces that are badly exposed, trapped in their very own fortified positions, just like the neo-nazis in Mariupol’s steel plant tunnels. Being sitting ducks without air cover is not a very good situation to be stuck in. Using long range artillery, the Russians can now minimize their risks while exponentially increasing risks for the Ukrainians. Grinding is slow but deadly.
So far Russia has refused to be baited by the US into widening the war, despite numerous provocations. Russia is only using a small fraction of it’s professional army in the Ukraine.
The bulk of it’s forces are sitting ready to engage Nato.
Russia is the turtle. The US is the hare.
The turtle is winning in Syria.
I sometimes think Russia is baiting the US instead.I am still puzzled how a Canadian General who left for the Ukraine in early April somehow managed to sneak into the besieged Mariupol steel plant?
Well if he did, then getting his ass caught seems fitting justice.The Mariupol steel plant is peaceful during the day from 8 AM to 6 PM but at night it is trick or treat time. The inmates now want food in exchange for hostages.
Yesterday the Ukrainian War got cancelled due too a lack of Ukrainians willing to come out and play.
Unfortunately the Russians got mad and cancelled about 900 Ukrainians.The US is bragging about sinking that Russian ship.
So Biden is now escalating things.
Things must not be going so well in the US of A then!
Biden and the Democrats need moar war!
That Falkland War worked out really swell for Argentina’s generals didn’t it!My observation is when ever governments get involved in a matter, they make it even worst than it ever was in the first place.
Individuals know all the pros and cons of their personal situation and are thus in the best position to decide what is their best outcome.
As Shakespeare said, “First let us kill all the lawyers”!Today is Wednesday or hump day as the rest of the week is down hill.
For some very strange reason, neither the Russians nor US could find any Ukrainians that wanted to come out and play today.
So for that reason, the war in the Ukraine had to be cancelled today!Instead we are left to fight over Jewish Nazis and abortion!
Clearly the Jews let Hitler down.
Democrats need abortion to win in November!Today the Fed confirmed that they need high inflation to reduce the value of debt.
They are very pleased that the current level of inflation is doing it’s job.
So the Fed isn’t going to stop the good work inflation is doing, anytime soon.Ontario’s medical association has desertified 3 doctors for prescribing ivermectin.
Yes, they are still out to get you!
Oh, look!
A squirrel!
O.K. folks, stay calm!
A trapped squirrel just escaped out of the Supreme Court building!
This poor squirrel must have been hungry and was looking for some nuts to eat!
Now there are plenty of nuts outside the Supreme Court building for the squirrel to eat!Yes Tesla uses the same secret sauce that bullion banks use to suppress physical gold with endless supply of paper gold. All perfectly legal too if you are in the club.
Since drug companies are in the club, everything they do is perfectly legal too!
Everything Congress does is perfectly legal because they are in the club too.
Universities are in the business of disciplining ideas and knowledge because they are club members too.
You are not a club member, so anything you do is illegal.
Oroboros:
The only flaw in your prosecutors argument is they do not need to prove their case.
They can simply make up a false case and drag anyone they want into court while bankrupting and ruining their lives.
This week is Fed’s meeting week.
In case you haven’t noticed the pattern, in the days leading up to the Fed’s meeting, gold and silver paper prices get roundly thrashed and suppressed.
Since the silver market is tiny, only a few billions in size, this is where the bullion banks start the carnage. They massively short silver, it only takes a few billion of paper money – chicken feed, in a manner no self respecting trader, wanting to make money, ever would. You can see this by watching the gold/silver ratio shoot up from the 70s to the 80s. That shows the amount of pressure being exerted.
Once silver has been routed, then the bullion banks insanely short gold. Now gold requires using a few 10 billions of dollars to rout. All of this is done using paper dollars on the London Metal Exchange (LME) and the Chicago Metal Exchange (CME). These exchanges are set up solely to protect bullion bank shorting. Not only that, the bullion banks do not have to deliver real gold but can force you to settle for paper money. So these are not places where you can buy real gold, only paper gold. Everybody else, for decades now, gets rountinely royally screwed. Why they never learn is beyond me! Guess there is an endless supply of of suckers.
Once the Fed meeting is over, gold and silver might be allowed to rise slowly. Gold is only allowed to rise limit up $20 max each trading day. However there is no limit down each trading day. The bullion banks know where everybody’s paper gold position is at all times. You can’t see other trading positions so you are always trading blind. This is a very corrupt paper gold play pen. It pays to know who the mark is.
Buying and holding, and never selling, is the only way to beat the bullion banks (I.e. never playing their game and never letting them hold your gold either. If you don’t hold it then you don’t own it!). But remember gold and silver are only insurance against disaster. Gold and silver will never make you rich. But it can get you nicely killed.
Has anyone noticed, now that the covid pandemic coverage has suddenly disappeared from the front page of MSM, suddenly we are finally getting sensible court rulings about the mandated vaccines being illegal?
Only now are “some” court judges daring to do the right thing. Where were these cowardly bastards two years ago we we really needed them?
In Canada however, there are still no brave judges. All judgements have solidly favored vaccine mandates.
Since the US hasn’t yet run out of Ukrainians, the war is on it’s 67 day of killing off living Ukrainians, today. How long it will take for 7the US to kill off the remaining Ukrainians is unknown. However there are rumors that many of the remaining Ukrainians, of fighting age, are not willing to die. There are reports that the vast majority of Ukrainian men of fighting age, like 70% to 90%, have not bothered to show up when called to report for duty. Instead they have either fled the country or more likely have simply gone into hiding! None of this can be proven, due to western censorship but if true, then the US may eventually have a problem of fighting the war until the last Ukrainian, sooner rather than later.
The latest casualties estimates, that I have seen, if true, run at 47,000 Ukrainians, killed, wounded, or captured. Russia officially says 4,000 Ukrainians have surrendered so far or about 60 per day. That means 43,000 Ukrainians have been either killed or wounded. That amounts to about 650 Ukrainians taken out of the fight, the hard way, each day. So far that hasn’t yet been enough to knock the stuffings out of the Ukrainian army.
Right now there seems to be very little new news about the grinding fight in the Donbas. My view is that the Russians have switched to an artillery war, which is a very boring slow moving form of fighting, but very deadly to those on the receiving end of the artillery shelling. The Russian use drones to ensure all the Ukrainians are dead, before moving forward. This type of war is slow but the Russians are in no hurry. This has 2 benefits for the Russians. It greatly reduces their own casualties while maximizing Ukrainian casualties. I would characterize this style of fighting to simply; “Let the other bastard pay!”
Mariupol’s steel plant seems to be getting most of the news coverage these days. Some civilians have been evacuated (per Zerosum above). For the neo-nazi this makes sense if they are running out of food, as then there are less mouths to feed. There have even been reports the neo-nazis want their 600+ wounded evacuated too. Again less mouths to feed, so they can hold out longer. Best estimates are 6 days of food supply left.
None of these trapped neo-nazis are ever going to get out of this alive, after killing over 10,000 Ukrainian civilians in Mariupol. That is more than one Ukrainian civilian killed per neo-nazi. Initiation rites into the neo-nazi unit, required proof of killing Ukrainian civilians. Donbas Russian Ukrainians will see that no neo-nazi escapes alive. Donbas has retained the death penalty for this very reason. Only prisoners allowed to live will be tried in Russia which does not have the death penalty.
This whole Ukrainian situation is nuts, except for the US wanting the war to last forever. I am hoping the US runs out of willing Ukrainians more quickly than they expected.
Dr. John Day : Good Luck with your exams!

It is amusing to see that the vaccinated are still afraid of us unvaccinated! Too bad the vaccinated don’t realize that by only associating with the vaxxed, their worst nightmare, catching covid, is much more likely to come true! Worst still, the vaxxed have no idea that their shortened lives are threatened by the vaccine’s multiple poisons. As Mark Twain said, you can not easily convince someone they have been lied to.
There are still some Ukrainians left so the war to the last Ukrainian is still on. But there are definately a lot fewer Ukrainians than yesterday. Russian artillery crews continue practicing their rather deadly craft. Sadly two-thirds of all Ukrainians will be killed just by artillery shelling. Too few Ukrainians are surrendering. It is hard to understand how so many Ukrainians could be so brainwashed but then again I look at how many (most) Canadians were vaxxed.
The ability of the neo-nazis in Mariupol to make cement has been lost as the noose around the steel plant tightens. The number of neo-nazi wounded has risen from 400 to 600. I assume the dead have also increased too. The Russians figure there were 8,100 neo-nazis in Mariupol to start with. Of these 1,300 surrendered and 4,100 have been killed leaving about 2,600 initially trapped. That number has likely been dropping every day based on 200 more wounded.
The Russians have pin pointed all of the neo-nazi’s bunker locations. They have plenty of water but are running short on food as their main supply of food was accidently vaporized by the Russians. May 9th holiday is rapidly coming up for the neo-nazis. The Russians have sent negotiators to Mariupol so something may be up.
I remember very well being in Moscow in the days leading up to the major May 9th Russian holiday. Moscow was basically digging itself out of from winter’s grimy existence and getting ready to welcome spring. Little old ladies were all out in force with brooms tidying up the mess winter had left behind on all the sidewalks and streets. Gray Moscow was bravely springing back into life. I never got to see the big parade as I was whisked to my coal mine in Siberia, where winter still had a firm grip on the region and was only reluctantly yielding to spring. There was still big broken pieces of ice floating on the river and patches of snow where the sun didn’t yet shine.

Well I know Russia paints a big white “Z” on all their military vehicles!
I haven’t seen them use the letter “G” though.Both are puppets or as Lenin said “Useful Idiots”.

An example of this was the Conservative Tree House (CTH). They got shutdown by Word Press with no warning as part of big techs’ covid censorship. CTH had to set up their own server before they could come back on the internet. Wolf Street was another web site that allowed no covid coverage.
