One crazy Ukrainian guy jumped on top of Russian recon vehicle holding Ukrainian flag with no weapons. |

And was not immediately shot dead. Was that possible in Iraq or Afghanistan with NATO troops? My personal opinion: 1. The conflict is likely for months 2. It will proceed in Balkan/Syria/Libya style: Russia will squeeze out toothpaste from east to west 3. Cities will likely be under siege - as was Sarajevo, Aleppo . Ukrainian side will likely hold cities population as shield and switch to more terrorists/partisans-like methods of war. Population will receive much of suffering and will accept any fate/regime at some point. 4. Likely one-third of population will fled to west - expect around 10 mil refugees. Will see, how well EU will deal with it, and how much help will receive from big friends overseas - will it be 100K refugees accepted, or not even that? 5. There will be like three governments of Ukraine: one pro-Russian puppet (Yanukovich mummy was already unpacked at 8 March), one government-in-exile, and one or more 'governments' inside territories uncontrolled by Russia. Zelensky unlikely will be in any of them, MIA somewhere ('highly likely' claimed killed by russian saboteurs). In many regions there will be no state and law at all. 6. The foreign involvement will increase. NATO will not step in by itself, there will be Kerzon-Pilsudsky-Bzezinsky styled eastern Europe alliance created, that will set his safe zone(s) in west of Ukraine. Expect limited no-fly zone over the Lviv. 7. The progress for all sides will depend on situation over Taiwan. |

missed the opportunity of an almost bloodless victory, destroying tens of thousands of soldiers with missile strikes. |

We didn't bomb the hospital. Ok we bombed the hospital. We didn't use conscripts. Ok we did use some conscripts. As this war carries on into the third week. As more videos come out.... the entire nyet/whataboutism/doubt defense gets more and more ridiculous. There's a massive war going on right next to you paratmar. Come and see. |

Hospital is a questionable part. Take a look at Euronews video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oRMwoyM2Og 1. First 3 seconds: no damages on adjoined buildings. BTW, looks like hospital have place inside a cluster of multistore buildings. Pilots of FBs should be the aces, and did a dangerous dive to hit ONLY hospital. 2. The building looks severe damaged. But saved ones looks clean, with clean clothes and faces. Compare with shots from 9/11... 3. What the man on 0:12 f**** do? What is that shit? Why the bandage green? It it a proper way for handling wounded to head? Why he lookin into camera, not to victim receiving treatment? 4. We seen cars around burning, but no flames in building. Same on other video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_oRMwoyM2Og . I can also see no shrapnel effects on walls. 5. 0:50 The damaged building lacks windows at all. But next building have all windows intact. How quick in ukrainian glaziers... Just for fun: today confirmed involvement of volunteers from Syria |

I have watched the videos and I disagree with your assessment. BUT, here's the point - you are still fighting an information war like its 2016. The tactic is to repeatedly undermine ALL media until your target's head is spinning so much they get confused. It worked with Cambridge in 2016, but only because people were unaware. This time its different, why? Because no one is listening to Russian gov propaganda anymore, except Syria, even China is sniffing the wind and sitting on the fence. People are more media savvy, one false report does not invalidate 100 others. We understand the shortcomings of commercial media. Russia has already lost the information war, they undermined themselves with repeated blatant lies over too long a time period. Now, like their army, they have been exposed as Paper Tigers. No one in the West even bothered to check this time, they're all simply bailing out of the free-falling Russian economy. The US government is one step ahead of yours, they announce what false flag will be used next 2 days in advance! Now you're all just yelling at clouds. |
