Russia Declares War on Ukraine<<MOD WARNING>>

This is the one.

If you want a private chat with Jenny then use the private message service. When you choose to add your Kremlin propaganda to her Kremlin propaganda in open forum you don't get to slither away by complaining that somenoe called you on it.

What sources did I use on Mariupol? Got a post you can point to? Got some sources you can name? Once again you accuse me of something with zero evidence.

Of course, we understand that this is all a distraction. You got busted vomiting up copy from Putin's propaganda factory. Again, no one is surprised.

 

Reports on Twitter last night are once again saying a collapse is happening on the Donbass front near Lysychansk. Pro- sources on each side going as far as saying the road to Lysychansk is under direct fire. BBC is reporting Ukrainian advisor yesterday saying Lysychansk would soon be encircled. How many troops will be trapped in Severdonetsk and Lysychansk is yet to be seen. Lots of villages falling quickly so it seems they retreated a lot of the defenders already.

 

All we can do is pray & keep helping. Temporarily capturing is one thing, keeping is another.

 

Imagine living in a country that had national pride instead of pride in teaching gay anal fisting to preschoolers.

 

Imagine living in a country that sends its young men to rape & murder their neighbours rather than giving its own people basic human rights.

That is what you support....from the comfort of a nation that gants you all the rights Putin never would.

 

When it comes to basic human rights, have a look around London or any bigger city in the USA and take a notice of thousands upon thousands homeless people completely neglected by so called civilised society. And things are getting worse by the day. As for the Russians, they clearly support their leader. They don't mind dying for the righteous cause.

 

Soldiers injected with toxins aren't much of a threat either.

 

I think the Russians may notice the new Ukrainian capability.

Pew poll: Global views on NATO and U.S. rise; for Russia, a decline

I find this poll about the global leaders popularity in their own countries to be far more accurate, honest and reliable.

A turn of the tide coming?
British PM Says Russian Advance in Ukraine Could Slow Over Lack of Resources. British intelligence predicts Russian momentum in Ukraine will slow in the coming months as its military exhausts its resources, according to comments by British Prime Minister Boris Johnson released Wednesday by several European newspapers. He added that he will push for further military support for Kyiv at the upcoming G7 summit to support a Ukrainian counteroffensive. He also said victory in the Ukraine war would at least be a return to the “status quo” before the conflict with the repulsion of Russian troops from invaded areas. Reuters

EU Leaders to Formally Accept Ukraine as Candidate for EU Membership. The EU will formally accept Ukraine as a candidate for EU membership on Thursday. The move is being hailed as a dramatic geopolitical shift in Europe, and one that is likely to anger Russian President Vladimir Putin. Achieving candidate status begins a ‘years long’ process to becoming a full member, but is expected to deliver a significant morale boost to Ukraine’s citizens and military as they continue to battle Russia for control of the Donbass.

....I wonder how long accession will take....decades..?

 

USG opposition to Russia's war of conquest and occupation is, IMO, fully justified, but your comments regarding the USG's culpability for centuries of systemic institutional racist oppression of black Americans are spot on.

IMO, the Republican Party’s betrayal of freed black Americans during Reconstruction was so horrific and stupid as to be unforgivable.
A mere apology will not mitigate the damage at all. Nevertheless, the USG should have apologized for slavery and the USG’s subsequent betrayal of black Americans long ago.
Ignorance of what is now virtually forgotten history probably explains much of the indifference, but there is no good excuse for not knowing the truth.


“Systematic effort was made during the whole period of Reconstruction to prevent Negroes from bearing arms. First, there was the demand that Negro Federal troops be immediately disbanded or moved from the South. Then the white militia searched Negro dwellings for arms and took them away.

"The militia organizations in the opposite country of South Carolina [Edgefield] were engaged in disarming the Negroes. This created great discontent among the latter, and in some instances, they had offered resistance. In previous inspecting tours in South Carolina much complaint reached me of the misconduct of these militia companies towards the blacks. Some of the latter of the most intelligent and well-disposed came to me and said: 'What shall we do? These militia companies are heaping upon our people every sort of injury and insult unchecked. Our people are peaceably inclined and we are endeavoring

to inculcate good feeling; but we cannot bear this treatment much longer.' Many are beginning to say:

" 'We have been patient long enough. We are free men now, and we have submitted to such usage as long as we can.' And again they ask: 'What shall we do?' I assured them that this conduct was not sanctioned by the United States military authorities, and that it would not be allowed." 37

While the Negro was in power, most of the Southern states organized Negro militia. In South Carolina, 96,000 were thus nominally enrolled, and others in Louisiana and Texas in the militia and in the police. Nevertheless, the Reconstruction governors were afraid to use these militia lest they start race war, and the effort to arm and equip them efficiently was silently opposed. Usually it resulted that disarmed and unsuspecting black people were set upon by white forces superior in numbers, armed and disciplined, and with little chance of self- defense.”

No idea.

 

You are assuming that Russian forces will soon be in a position to encircle a significant part of Ukraine's defense force, and that the Ukrainian force refuses to withdraw to a new defensive line.

How did that strategy work for the Japanese after they finally succeeded in taking Shanghai?

 

....it was just rhetorical

 

That's providing the EU still exists - which is doubtful Then again hope lives eternal in those easily manipulated.

If one does not fear Russia's might after seeing this tweet, then they must be living in a world of illusions.

Latest From The War Front:

The Russian Army and the Air Force proceeded with sweeping bombardments of positions of the Ukrainian Army. The Russian Ministry of Defense is talking about over 620 dead in 24 hours of the bombing alone, not counting Ukrainian casualties from the rest of the battlefields.

Videos released (which we will not see of course), show bombing by Su-34s, a barrage of Iskander-M ballistic missile launches and daylight attacks with P-800 Oniks.

Bastion systems hit artsyz air base southwest of Odessa where the control center of the Turkish UAV Bayraktar was located.

Also in Bakhmut the Russian Air Force launched Kh-59M2 missiles, one of the rare times that the launch of this missile is recorded on video.

Finally, the Russians claim that in recent days the hypersonic rocket Kh-47M2 Kinzhal has been used. The target was a warehouse of reinforcement 136 meters under the earth. Next to it there were several mercenaries, mainly British and American.

The explosion was really terrifying.

As posted above Ukrainian advisors are expecting the twin cities to be besieged, reports on twitter from both sides are saying that the road out is under Russian fire control, so it is close to happening as the Zolote front collapsed. The ones that remain might not have the opportunity to withdraw. Encirclement's work in most cases.
