Why can’t the mainstream media simply inform us the reality? Relating to the conflict in Ukraine, getting correct data has confirmed to be slightly daunting. From the Russian media and pro-Russian sources, we’re getting an countless stream of Russian propaganda, and I suppose that’s to be anticipated. On the opposite aspect, the mainstream media within the western world is commonly simply regurgitating Ukrainian propaganda and repackaging it as “reality”. For instance, an article that was deliver extensively circulated earlier right this moment says that the Russians “may buckle in 10 days” and it claims that the Ukrainians are inflicting catastrophic losses on the Russian army. Day after day, we’re being advised that the Ukrainians are on the verge of victory, and naturally that’s full and utter hogwash. The Russians proceed to win extra territory, and the Ukrainian army has been struggling defeat after defeat. However the Ukrainians need to challenge a optimistic narrative, as a result of that offers them the perfect likelihood of enlisting outdoors assist.
Personally, the folks that I really feel actually dangerous for are all the harmless Ukrainians which can be caught in the midst of this battle. Thousands and thousands are needlessly struggling, and so allow us to hope that the taking pictures will finish quickly.
Most Individuals don’t notice this, however the Russians are literally providing to finish the battle if six main circumstances are met…
- No NATO membership and a impartial place.
- Russian must be the second official language of Ukraine, with legal guidelines prohibiting it abolished.
- Recognise Crimea as Russian territory.
- Recognise the independence of Donetsk and Lugansk.
- Demilitarisation of Ukraine and abandonment of weapons that could possibly be a menace to the Kremlin.
- Banning of ultra-nationalist events and organisations in Ukraine.
However you received’t hear a lot about this on the key cable information channels, will you?
And that’s as a result of it doesn’t match with the narrative that they’re at the moment pushing.
I undoubtedly perceive the need of many individuals to root for the underdog, however the actuality of the matter is that the Ukrainian armed forces are drastically outmatched.
On the jap entrance, the Russians simply flattened the city of Avdeevka and basically worn out the Ukrainian ninety fifth Airmobile Brigade…
The large information of the day is that the Russian forces lastly determined to, shall we embrace, change tempo, and by all account the depth of the artillery, aerial bombing and missile barrage which hit the Ukie forces within the city of Avdeevka was completely unprecedented and following this barrage the LDNR forces broke by 8 kilometers of nearly essentially the most closely defended sectors in your complete theater or operations. The Ukrainian ninety fifth Airmobile Brigade (one of the fight succesful unit of the Ukrainian Military!) was defending this sector. In keeping with reviews, this whole brigade was principally worn out.
The reality is that what the Russians simply did to Avdeevka could possibly be achieved to each single main metropolis in all of Ukraine.
The Russians possess immense standard firepower, and on this case it seems that they have been attempting to ship a message to the opposite Ukrainian items that at the moment are basically encircled within the “cauldron” within the east…
So, not solely did Russian encircle your complete Ukrainian forces in an operational cauldron, she then proceeded to chop that single power into two smaller cauldrons (however each nonetheless contained within the greater, operational, cauldron) and now as a present of power, she destroyed essentially the most fight succesful Ukrainian unit in essentially the most closely defended city.
The “message” right here is obvious: we strongly encourage you to put down arms or else…
In the meantime, we could also be about to see a brand new main operation within the south.
In keeping with a number of sources, a Russian naval process power seems to be heading towards the Odessa space for a possible amphibious touchdown…
Russian Navy ships might be seen in satellite tv for pc imagery approaching the Ukrainian Coast. The Sentinel 2 satellite tv for pc picture, taken at 11:47 native time, reveals at the least 14 vessels.
The vessels have been discovered by Naval Information with the assistance of Damien Symon, an impartial protection analyst. Preliminary evaluation of the vessels suggests 3 teams. Two are made up of combatants, and one has a number of touchdown ships. The touchdown ships seem to have sailed immediately from their staging place off the Crimean coast. Analysts are looking the imagery for extra vessels.
Over in Mariupol, the Russians are utilizing devastating techniques that they employed throughout the two Chechen wars…
Rockets rained down on Mariupol, a port metropolis on the Sea of Azov of about half 1,000,000 folks, over the weekend concentrating on residential blocks and systematically flattening suburban areas of town. In the course of the two Chechen wars, slightly than sending troops to attempt to take town, the Russian military merely flattened it with sustained shelling after which simply marched in throughout a sea of rubble.
This is the reason the Russians have solely encircled many of the main Ukrainian cities that they’ve approached thus far.
It’s basically siege warfare. The Russians are slicing off provide routes, and they’ll relentlessly pound opposing forces till they both give up or are worn out.
It isn’t a good battle, and the dying toll is rising with every passing day.
Fox Information reporter Steve Harrigan simply returned from Ukraine, and that is his evaluation of the battle…
I believe for me, Ukraine is a achieved deal. It’s flattened and so they misplaced.
Sadly, that could be a very correct evaluation.
However the western media continues to be encouraging Individuals, Canadians and Europeans to volunteer to battle with the Ukrainian army.
In fact this isn’t something just like the wars in Iraq or Afghanistan. Once you go to conflict towards Russia, you might be abruptly killed by a cruise missile if you are sleeping…
THREE British ex-special forces troops are feared to have been killed following a lethal Russian airstrike on a base near the Polish border.
It’s believed they died immediately within the cruise missile blast which reportedly killed a number of greater than beforehand by – presumably effectively over 100 – based on the Day by day Mirror. Insiders have mentioned the three males weren’t a part of the overseas fighters unit that was being skilled on the Yavoriv base on the sting of the border with Poland. It stays unclear which department of particular forces that they had served in.
And when you recover from to Ukraine, there’s a excellent likelihood that they might not ever allow you to depart.
Should you doubt this, simply hearken to this testimony from somebody that was miraculously capable of make it overseas.
He tells these coming to Ukraine to battle, to not come it is a lure. pic.twitter.com/bcKFId51E9

These which can be pro-Russia get upset with me as a result of I’m not cheering for the Russians to win.
And people which can be pro-Ukraine get upset with me as a result of I’m not cheering for the Ukrainians to win.
However this isn’t a recreation.
I used to be strongly advocating for peace earlier than the conflict erupted, and I’m strongly advocating for peace now.
So many are needlessly dying, and the longer this conflict stretches on the extra doubtless it’s that it’ll result in a world nuclear battle.
And if a world nuclear battle occurs, billions of individuals may die.
So I’m not ashamed to be rooting for peace.
Sadly, leaders on each side are making very silly choices, and so I don’t count on the taking pictures to finish very quickly.
