5 April 22/ Col Macgregor: "This war will end when Putin wants it to end" with Jackson Hinkle

While those who wander aimlessly blaming themselves because they choose to remain ignorant of America’s geopolitical objectives. And as Germans bitch and complain about the price of gas, Trump, and once again are lovingly whispering in the ear of Russia how to divided Eastern Europe between themselves. There are 140,000 NATO troops on the eastern front who stand guard for reasons unknown to the cry babies. This speech I think also acknowledges why Ukraine soldiers give their lives to a greater cause.

I agree.

I am no Reagan fan, but I always gave him credit for knowing how to do speeches.

this is great

(By Christine Stevens, as a comment to "Russia having its own special truth" from Aleksandr Dugin. Aleksandr Dugin is the fascist philosopher behind Putin.


"Warning: Do Not Call It A Retreat From Kyiv
Call It A “Special Hindwards Military Operation”

And please do not imply that we have been forced by the heroic Ukrainian resistance to give up our insane plan of storming the capital of Kyiv.

Yes, it’s true that our convoy of tanks and soldiers got stuck, ran out of fuel and food, and most of the soldiers got frost bite and ran away.

But this is not a retreat.

The great Russian nation isn’t a nation of cowards. We are descendants of the Mongol horde, don’t forget. And in case you forget, here’s some footage of the chief propagandist of the fascist insanity in our great country, Aleksandr Dugin.


“We Have Our Special Russian Truth”

This special Russian truth is much like the famous Bizarro Jerry episode of Seinfeld, or kind of like “Opposite Day.”




When we kidnap the pregnant woman and bring her to Russia and force her to go on camera and say “The Russians did not bomb the maternity hospital,” see, in our special Russian truth, that means we DID bomb the maternity hospital and F..K you.
(Yes, this video was released today. It just keeps getting more and more F..ed up, people.)

Most of what we say is F..K You to the West.

You don’t like it, though.

So sure, you might think this is your moment to celebrate the heroism of Ukraine, because it’s like some kind of Davy and Goliath story and Davy kicked Goliath’s ass and Goliath is running away.

F..K you! That’s not what happened.

This is our Special Saving Face Military Operation. This is our Special Running Away Military Operation. This is our Special Scaredy-Cat Chicken Out Pussy Military Operation. This is our Special Russian Truth In Reverse Operation.

But it is not a Retreat!

And this is not a War!

Understand?

Anybody who calls this a retreat is going to get poisoned personally by me, Uncle Vladimir.

Ukraine is not even a country.

But we love Ukrainians like brothers.

And we don’t bomb civilians.

And I don’t have thyroid cancer.

I’m healthy as a horse!

Everything is going according to plan!

And and and and and and and and and and …. …and don’t forget. I have nukes! Girl, I will nuke you!"

Sky....how much money is the EU and in particular Germany putting into this twunts war chest daily?

Thousands of people are fleeing Ukraine's Donbas as Russia shifts the focus of its attacks to the east of the country.

Ukrainian authorities are calling on people to evacuate the eastern Luhansk region, with five humanitarian corridors out of the area planned today.

Nato foreign ministers are meeting for two days of talks on how best to support Ukraine.

It follows allegations of war crimes in the Ukrainian town of Bucha, where evidence suggests Russian troops executed civilians.

The US is expected to announce more restrictions against Russian banks, as well as measures targeting Vladimir Putin’s two adult daughters.

The EU Commission is proposing a ban on coal exports as part of a wide-ranging fifth package of sanctions being discussed today.

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky listed alleged Russian atrocities in a speech to the UN Security Council on Tuesday. Russia denies the allegations.

Trump or Russia you mean?
They say 800-950million per day, all in all, by all EU. However, Russia does not need this money to run the war, since its military completely runs unlinked to the fiscal budget from civil economy's exports. They can produce tanks by their own ores and fuels by their own oil. The sanctions cannot hamper the war directly. And Putin has the support of 70% of Russians, western media say. But he would not need it anyway, since his is a violent police tyranny.

Thats why my trust in sanctions is kind of muffled. Putin can run the war into next year if he wants - with high losses and with total oil and gas and bank embargo in place.

That is my main worry/concern regarding this insane event.
