The Neocons and the Woke Left Are Joining Hands and Leading Us to Woke War III

https://www.newsweek.com/neocons-woke-l ... on-1748947

The online mob has decided that any support for a negotiated settlement—even proposals that Zelensky himself appeared to support at the beginning of the war—is tantamount to taking Russia's side, denouncing voices of compromise and restraint as Putin apologists. This removes them from acceptable discourse and shrinks the Overton window to those advocating the total defeat of Russia and an end to Putin's regime—even if it risks WWIII.

No doubt the US/Europe is guilty of plenty of clandestine messes but it isn't reasonable to ignore what Russia/China have been up to the last decades.

Front-Line Defenders Standby For Russian Offensive Near Bakhmut
https://funker530.com/video/front-line- ... r-bakhmut/

Uneventful cell phone video coming out of Bakhmut captures Ukrainian troops standing by for a Russian offensive on the Ukrainian side of the Bakhmut "No-Man's Land."

There may not appear to be a lot happening in this video, but take special note of the ambient noise that's being recorded in the background. I imagine the situation here is much like the ambiance and feeling you would find in a 1917 trench line as Allied forces waited for German advances in small Belgian villages that no one had ever heard of before.

The primary difference between now and then however is that today we get to virtually sit in the trench with the fighters on the front-line instead of just reading about it in a newspaper weeks after the fighting had finished. Maybe this time we'll learn something about it and realize that these are real people with real lives having their life negatively impacted by a conflict that their politicians started..

Probably not.

Russia has suffered 180,000 killed or wounded in Ukraine so far, while the figure for the Ukrainians is 100,000 military casualties and 30,000 dead civilians,
estimates by Norway's army chief
https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/2 ... egian-army

[Coligny]

Current Nato estimate,
Russia has lost the war at least 5 times since last summer.
Russian casaulties amount to at least 3 times the total Russian population. The ecomnomy is in shamble, Putin is so sick that he already died 3 times and each of his body doubles died at least twice in the last month.
Also, the Russian army has no longer any battle tanks, no ammo for these battletanks they don’t have, the air force is decimated, no more pilots are available.
But to support the war effort please send free plane and tanks to those poor Ukrainians sons of bitches so they can protect their maternity clinic targetted daily by Russian missiles they ran out of stock of 3 month ago.

Also, if my aunt had balls she would be my uncle.
