buddhi 4 hr ago That the Stavka consider the West "non agreement capable" is not propaganda, it is a fact. Putin has been calling for negotiations since 2014, and still is to this day, all of which have been spurned by the West. As far as the Minsk agreements, Merkel admitted bad faith to Die Zeit (Dec 21, 2022), “The 2014 Minsk agreement was an attempt to give time to Ukraine time." Since the West has been sending tens of billions of arms to Ukraine, why would anyone believe they would want to stop the slaughter? Twice Boris Johnson has been sent to Ukraine to end talk of negotiations.
Letsrock 3 hr ago Trump was for ending all wars and promoted peace.
Len Kinder @buddhi 3 hr ago "All" politicians are commanded by the ruling class to do or say whatever they do or say. Putin and Biden et al are no exception. So what they do and say is for show, in order to divide the rest of us into opposing camps supporting one puppet or another.
buddhi 3 @len hr ago That is not so true with Russia. The best way to understand Russian politics is simply to listen to what they say. The Russians have been saying for many years that the expansion of NATO into Ukraine is unacceptable. As Kissinger stated about Russia, "Nyet Means Nyet." Many top US strategic thinkers (Kennan, Matlock, Perry, McNamara, Hill, Kissinger, Burns) have been warning the neocons about this, and have been ignored.
buddhi @letsrock 2 hr ago Yes, that is correct. He avoided war with Iran after they shot down our provocative drone flying up the Persian Gulf even though all his the top military brass screamed for war and had a strike package ready to go. He stood up to them, asked the simple question "Was anyone killed?" (No) and avoided a war the military had all planned and ready to go.
Len Kinder @letsrock 2 hr ago Lets, Trump is an actor, like most politicians, and a puppet, like "all" politicians. Did he not say whatever his advisors/handlers told him to say? And were his advisors not servants of the ruling class? He called Hilary crooked in public, but admitted in private that they're close friends. The ruling class used Trump to herd "conservatives" in two directions (pro- and anti-Trump) and to help herd "liberals" in other directions. They wanted liberals to take the Covid vaxes, so they enthroned Biden instead of Trump, since liberals were starting to resist the Covid narrative under Trump.
Len Kinder @buddhi 2 hr ago Russia went along with the pandemic scam. Did they not? Russia went along with the fake war against Ukraine in order to help divert public attention away from the huge numbers of Covid vax deaths and injuries. Did they not?
buddhi @len 2 hr ago They went to war reluctantly against Ukraine because NATO expanded to their borders with multiple bio-weapon labs up against that border as well as nukes with a five-minute flight time to Moscow. They also intervened (in the Russian-speaking Donbas region) to stop the more than 14,000 Russian-speaking Ukrainian deaths killed by the neo-Nazi Ukrainian Army shelling since 2014. Nothing to do with covid. Covid, by the way, was not entirely a scam. Remember that it was a bioengineered weapon that should not be taken lightly.

buddhi 2 hr ago edited 19 min ago I probably do know more than he does about Ukraine. Much of what that guy says is true but he's playing to the crowd, targeting confirmation biases, looking for likes and readership. He seems to have little understanding of the military strategy, current on-the-ground maneuvers, unit strength, or the historical context.
Although there absolutely is a false Ukrainian narrative pushed by the Western governments - If Ukraine has been winning for the past year, why have they lost 24% of their territory, representing 90% of their GDP? - it is absolutely not a fake War. Saying that disparages the brilliance of the Russian attrition strategy and the extreme courage of the Ukrainians dying for a lost cause.
The casualties on the Ukrainian side are 8 to 10 times the Russian casualties, and equivalent to the inconceivable World War 1 casualties. 75% of those casualties - 900/day - are due to the Russian artilleries' 60,000 shells per day (10 times the Ukrainian counter-battery fire).
What's been happening is when a Ukrainian brigade of about 3000 men starts to move forward the Russian integrated all-arms ISR (intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance), the best in the world, instantly picks it up and those 3000 men are annihilated by long-range Russian artillery before they have a chance to engage the Russians. No Russian soldier is lost.
That casualty rate is unsustainable for the Ukrainians because, although they previously had a population of 45 million, they're now down to about 28 million. 12 million migrated to Europe and 2 million to Russia. Total Ukrainian dead are about 250,000 with 600,000 badly wounded and out of the fight. 25,000 Russians are dead with about 2.5 times that as casualties.
Ukrainian press gangs are going into cafes and trucking 16 year-olds and men over 40 years-old to the front where they have a average lifespan of 4 hours.
The Russians are fully mobilized now with 1.5 million men and 24/7 ammunition and equipment production capacity targeted for 30 more months. The Ukrainians and NATO will run out of everything in just a few months (in war when you run out of ammo, you die), right about when the mud dries and the Russians can finally move their men and heavy armor northeast out of the Donbas, which is now secured, and south down from Belarus towards the Polish border to cut off the NATO supply route. Bakhmut has been operationally encircled by the Russians and that's the last of the many defensive lines the Ukrainians built up over 8 years. They've all been breached. The way is now clear over Nebraska-flat land all the way to the western border. If Poland and Romania decide to join the fight, they will be annihilated.
This is a real war which will be over by August.
Len Kinder 1 min ago Thanks for the details, but I didn't mean there's no fighting or dying going on. I meant the puppetmasters of both countries are faking the reason for the fighting. The real reason is to divert attention away from Covid deaths, but that's not the whole purpose. An added purpose is to increase profits for the rich by reducing vital supplies to people on both sides, who must now pay higher prices. It thus weakens the common people, making them less able to threaten the Covid conspirators with legal or political action.
