Russian Ukraine War

[mateinone]

I think both sides are suffering heavy losses daily, but yes i do believe that morale is lower on the Russian side. The reason isn't that surprising when you mobilize people against their will. They are very patriotic and there are a lot that actively would join themselves, but the number of mobilized is quite high now. As for whether Russians are bumbling fools.. no i don't think this is true, but they are using archaic methods and they have comfortably been outperformed by Ukraine based on the comparative numbers and equipment of the 2 sides.

There is propaganda in the west it is clear, but as i said in an earlier post, it is not comparative to the propaganda within Russia, which always happens when there is only one story told and publicly disagreeing with that narrative can land you a lengthy jail term.

I want to be clear Mio.

I dont want to create an equivalence between propaganda.

All I'm saying is that when propaganda begins, believe nothing you've heard and half of what you see.

Generally speaking im not invested either way, but am keen to learn about the outcome and motivation.  My only concern is whether or not the conflict escalates.

Already dead, according to a family source.

An intereresting question.

I use as my source on all things Vampiric... Kim Marie Ostrowski- Author of the Vampire 'Bible'

Kim Marie writes..

Are vampires dead or alive?
Considering they are referred to in 2 ways.

as the undead
as the Living Dead
and that most of the time in the mythology, a person usually has to die to become one.

usually the person is either drained and given the blood of the vampire, or died with Vampire blood in them. (there are also the odd stories where they just need to be bitten which for me is just up in the air of which)

so therefore they are dead, but a ‘living’ corpse.

(unlike a Zombie which is all decaying or rotting dead but somehow reanimated for some reason but still stays dead, just with the most basic instinct, to EAT.)

BTW has anyone else noticed the uncanny resemblance between Putin and the Mona Lisa....tell me the guy hasn't been around for centuries.

Perhaps all the above.

He is dead, he's not a vampire, he doesn't age because its not him. Its a double...and another double....

Supposedly Saddam Hussein had 5 or 6 doubles that used to get around.
Who knows anymore.

if you want further proof you need to look at the paintings of Jan van Eyck  !!!
Do a google search on Jan van Eyck and Putin, this is seriously uncanny!!

And that led to the fake news story of the National Gallery removing a van Eyck portrait because it resembled Putin  :

Russians are going to become a colony of China, they just dont it....China sign off on most of Putins activities and the interesting aspect now is the proposed deals between Putin and Nth Korea. Put basically the Nth Korean's are starving and need food and oil plus international currency and Putin is running out of weaponry, spares and artillery shells, rockets etc to continue with his barrage into Ukraine.
Nth Korea have the same old old Russian weaponry and churn out a lot of munitions via their sweatshop factories and would be able to supply Putin and keep the war going in return for Food, Oil and money which Russia have plenty of.
China would have to sign off on such a deal given both countries are beholding to them and they dont do anything without weighing up the pros and cons for their political aspirations. Russia have traditionally had no time for Nth Korea but in recent times have been forced into following what China's foreign policy dictates.
A well fed Nth Korea wouldnt be affected so much by sanctions anymore that have helped put the brakes on and a nutter like KimJ might be tempted to try his luck by obtaining better long range ICBMs and nuke subs.
Id be stopping that little liaison developing and involving the Chinese who I am sure would have the same concerns about KimJ straying from their game plan and doing his own thing fuelled by a desperate Putin.

I was just listening to a security expert / political strategist who was adamant Russia is behind this latest breakout of fighting in Israel. The hypothesis seems to be rather than take the expensive options to scale up fighting on that front, they have chosen to weaken Ukraine by acting to distract / divide Allied support by given the Allies another war to fight.

He suspects there could be further outbreaks of regional fighting to come, and he warned of terrorist attacks on domestic soil, or potentially false flag operations, financed / enabled by Russia to weaken and distract support for Ukraine. Ukraine won't get resources from Allies if the Allies are given issues to deal with closer to home.
