    How is the Ukrainian invasion of Russia related to the recent shooting of US president candidate Donald Trump ?

    # This Ukrainian invasion of Russia is an enlargement of the Russia-Ukraine war; its aim is to draw NATO into a hot, direct, BIG war with Russia; i.e. larger war.

    # Mr Donald Trump, on the other hand, wants to end the Russia-Ukraine war.

    =========

    Mr Donald Trump, do you knowWhyYouWereShot?

    # For the same reason that President JohnF KennedyAnd nearly the whole family of SaigonPuppetPresident NgôĐìnhDiệm wereShot.

    # That is, because you're OBSTRUCTING our business;

    # Our thousand-billion-dollar business;

    # Our business of making money from wars, especially the Russia-Ukraine war;

    # (the American war in Vietnam with Kennedy and Ngô Đình Diệm family)

    # Our business of selling ammunition and guns, soldier boots and hats, …., of selling LPG and wheat (to replace Russia's and Ukraine's), of forcingUkrainianGovernment to sign debt papers non-stop, of acquiring cheap Ukrainian land and assets, ….

    # You're OBSTRUCTING and threatening our business by your THREATENING TO ENDthatWAR.

  2. If any of you… ANY! Think that Russia would ever get beaten by Ukraine you are insane. Russia is prolonging this because they dont want to use nuclear weapons etc and start WW3. Putin has come multiple times to the table offering peace treaties to Ukraine. US is funding a war that is the start of another world war. Wake up people, the elites are not doing this for our safety. The west are the ones trying to force NATO right at the border of Russia. We would not tolerate this if it was the other way around.

  3. Escalation doesn’t end well. Of course jb/Kh and the UK told Z not to negotiate. Now Russia took negotiations off the table. Without the US and NATO forces on the ground, Ukraine can’t possibly defeat Russia. The death ratio to date has been 4 – 1. So here we are closer to WWIII. No new wars under 45.
    Oh and VENN Diagrams don’t represent a position of strength.

  4. CBS propaganda funded by the USA 🇺🇸 proxy war shadow government 🤣

    The USA 🇺🇸 led invasion of Russia 🇷🇺 was just a PR propaganda stunt 🤣

  5. I know that the people who still believe what the democrats and the media say are as dumb as a box of rocks but even they must remember YESTERDAY when they said “don’t count Ukraine out just yet they are a scrappy bunch” and considering they all used the word “scrappy” rather than any other word like it should also make it clear that everything they say comes from one source to keep the message consistent and like everything else that source is the DNC.

  6. ‘No food or water for days:’ Ukrainian soldier explains why he surrendered to Russia

    Aleksandr Makievsky recounted how one unit was told it would be targeted by ‘friendly’ fire if it withdrew from its position

    Some Ukrainian soldiers are being left by their commanders without food and water for days at a time while being forbidden to retreat under the threat of death, according to a Ukrainian soldier who surrendered and was interviewed by the Russian Defense Ministry.

    On Sunday, the ministry released a three-minute clip featuring Ukrainian soldier and former police officer Aleksandr Makievsky, who said he voluntarily surrendered to Russian forces after experiencing firsthand the hardships on the front line caused by the military leadership’s callous and ruthless attitude toward its own troops.

    Makievsky said he was dismissed from the police force after refusing to join a Ukrainian assault brigade. Three months later, he ran out of money and received a draft notice and had little choice but to sign a contract with the military.

    He claims he was told that he would be deployed to Donbass on the second line of defense, which was not supposed to directly engage with Russian forces.

    “We were immediately taken and dumped there and told to dig in… The spades were blunt, work was impossible,” he recalled. “We had no food or water. By the sixth day, I thought I was going to die.”

    He also recounted how one day he heard extremely chaotic and tense radio chatter when one Ukrainian group decided to retreat. “[The group] was told: ‘If you retreat, we will fire a volley of Grad rockets at your position. The war will write everything off.”

    Makievsky admitted that he was scared and wanted to leave, but he knew that he would be executed by his fellow troops. “Two brotherly peoples are being pitted against each other… War is hell… The government embezzles money while the common people suffer. They are doing business, and commanders are no better,” he added.

    Many of the Ukrainian soldiers who have chosen to surrender have accused Kiev of treating them as “cannon fodder” and failing to support them in combat with basic equipment. They have also complained of a lack of basic training and numerous desertions. Meanwhile, the Russian military has set up a special radio frequency that Ukrainians can use to surrender while guaranteeing prisoners of war humane treatment.

  7. why no elections in Ukr, ABC? Isn't it a democracy?

    why is Zelensky in charge when his term expired? the Ukr constitution says the leader of the Rada is supposed to be President. What gives, ABC?
