I guess even RT has limits. Krasovsky has been suspended.

Nah it doesn't have limits. Sometimes the real narrative just slips out from the propaganda mouthpieces. He will go to the Russian version of rehab. Then end up back online later.

Soon our troll will be along and say there was a mistake in the teleprompter. That they really wanted the Ukrainian children to have a warm sauna. To take off the chill off winter. Then a refreshing dip in the river. Just like they do in Finland.

What’s up with the right wing crazies and their Putin worship anyway? Dictators R Us?

Look, it's not so much Putin worship as it is throwing him a bone so that we can have Peace For Our Time (tm).

 

Go home and have a good night's sleep.

To be fair, left wing crazies also somehow support Putin. They still seem to think that Russia is still communist...

Hi John,

Thanks for that; I had not heard of it.

Goes along with Hitler wanting Paris to be destroyed as they retreated.

I visited Oradour-sur-Glane back when in high school.  Unbelievable horror.

Oh, they aren't buying the "De-Nazification" story, so let's try "De-Satanization".

Russia's 8-month de-nazification campaign failed, now de-satanization is the military goal

The FSB brain trust isn't totally stupid. They look at Merica and see what works. Why should Russia re-invent the wheel?

In the next 30 days I predict Putin bombs the Ukraine back into the Stone Age if they refuse to negotiate.

It's now finally 30 days since this prediction, so let's check how it's going.

Looks like Ukraine is about to score a major victory in Kherson. Russia is retreating from the only major city they've captured this year.

Putin has been silent on predictions lately. He has been silent on the capitulation west of the Dnipro. His cheerleaders on RTV of course don't criticize him or the army.

Everyone knows that if a hospital window isn't nearby a car crash works as well.

Slim awaits instructions from Putin/FOX.

Putin is open for negotiations. Zelenski hasn't pocketed enough US money yet it seems. The ball is in Zelenski's court but he's too greedy. He refuses to end the war. In the next 30 days I predict Putin bombs the Ukraine back into the Stone Age if they refuse to negotiate. I'm pretty sure he has severely damaged the power grid as I predicted he would. Since NATO want's to get involved this will escalate even more as they promise more anti-missile defense systems ... So Putin will launch his cruise missiles before they can get them in place. It's gonna really get ugly ... More innocent kids will die. Stop the warmongering and make Peace.

Well, to be fair to Slim, Putin wanted to bomb Ukraine 'back to the stone age'.

Putin's done a reasonable job sending them back to the 19th century by destroying a lot of the power infrastructure.

He would have sent them back further had his 'dirty bomb' idea gone anywhere.

Fortunately, the west made it REALLY clear that they knew what he planned and apparently convinced him how bad of an idea it was.

It seems that the only person in the whole world who doesn't realize how seriously the Russian comms have been compromised is Putin himself.

The west knew he was invading Ukraine.
They knew when & where.
They've known where high ranking generals are going to be.
They knew the Russians were expecting a Ukrainian attack in the south, that the Russians had moved forces that way, and so the Ukrainians attacked in the north.
They knew perfectly well that any 'dirty bomb' would have been Russian, not Ukrainian.

None of this is a coincidence. 

I'd love to know exactly what and how many aspects the west has broken into.

Not unlike World War 2 with the Japanese and German codes, this sort of thing is just something the west is pretty good at.

Looks like Russia is going to lose control of their most important 2014 objective. They need access to the Dnipro River (Ukrainian spelling) and Kherson to divert water to Crimea. The Crimean peninsula is in a "dry" part of the Ukraine and needs irrigation for farms to be successful.

As to whether Ukraine will ever regain control of the Crimean Peninsula ... consider how many different groups have fought over that peninsula: Sythians, Greeks, Romans, Ottoman Turks, Poles, Crimean Tatars, Czechs, German Nazis, Lithuanians, Swedes, Soviets, White Russians, Tzarist Russians, Ukrainian nationalists, Ukrainian anarchists, etc.

It will be a fait accompli in 72 hours.  The winner of a battle is the one who “gets there the firstest with the mostest”.  And that, my friend, is the Russians.

I won’t even address the folly of attacking mechanized divisions with outnumbered light infantry without logistical support.

 I can't see how our harsh words and finger wagging will dissuade him from seeking his goals.

Looks like our finger wagging and our harsh words (and some discreet funding of weapons systems for our allies) has indeed done quite a bit to prevent Putin from achieving his goals.

Mrs. Vaira Vike-Freiberga the ex president leader of Latvia was recently interviewed. The subject of her becoming the leader of NATO came up.  She stated that she was not likely to win a vote. Because her attitude was that Putin only understands power and a Churchill like iron firmness. Which she has. She has an interventionist attitude towards protecting Ukraine.

All three of the NATO Baltic states have the same attitude. IMO they know Russia better than anyone from a western point of view.

Probably Article 4 before Article 5. Specially if it turns out this was Ukrainian air defense impacting flight of Russian missile.

[ryoder 1,590]

Not a Russian missile:

Escalation fears ease after NATO, Warsaw say missile that hit Poland was Ukrainian stray

[Phil1111 1,149]

Colonel Vadim Boyko an officer with close links to Putin has committed suicide. He was found" inside his office at the prestigious Makarov Pacific Higher Naval School in Vladivostok "

Because there were no hospitals nearby and he never left the base. So no car accidents or hospital windows were handy. Thus he shot himself several times in the back of the head.

A monkey will be along shortly to blame the west. For causing the loss of this officer by encouraging Ukraine to defend itself.

I believe he shot himself in the chest.  Five times.

"The BAZA report questioned how the colonel could have shot himself in the chest five times."  But, of course, did not ask TOO forcefully, lest the reporter discover himself committing suicide.
