    The United States, so-called defender of democracy, is going to send Ukraine cluster-bombs in violation of the Geneva Convention. These types of weapons have a high failure rate and wind up blowing the legs and arms off of citizens 10-15 years after their deployment. This is why over 100 countries have signed treaties outlawing their use. When the US claimed Russia was using these weapons the corporate media was claiming Putin was a war criminal, but have gone silent when it comes to the US deploying the same weapons.

    1) Much of the earlier arms and munitions Ukraine was given relied on Elon Musk's Starlink Satellites after Russia blocked prior GPS communications, but Musk later withdrew access to Starlink for weapon use. Thus Ukraine's need for both alt GPS access and more weapons that didn't depend on GPS guidance.
    2) We've learned that the news from Russia about crippling disruption in their command structure has not caused the vulnerabilities on the battlefield that would be consistent with Putin's reports about the recent rebellion.
    3) Putin's atypically non-aggressive response throughout the "coup attempt" seems "fishy" enough, that I believe it's not yet clear whether it was staged, or what the motivations & full related agenda might be if it was (Ex: To accuse anyone of participating that's on a "wish list" to be "purged", to position Prigozhin +/- some Wagner troops elsewhere in plausibly deniable ways, to later allege the "rebel" Prigozhin committed acts Putin wants to disassociate himself from, Etc.)
    It seems highly unlikely that Putin didn't at least have advance Intel re the "rebellion", info on unscheduled advances toward Moscow while Prigozhin et al were en route, or orchestrated the event himself.
    In addition, neither we nor maybe Prigozhin even know with certainty whether Putin plans to use Prigozhin as a
    scape goat for
    future Russian acts
    (Ex: "tactical nukes")
    &/or
    past International
    war crimes,
    annnnd, whether Prigozhin suspects Putin considers him "disposable" and thus he has "disappeared" instead to hide from Putin
    (vs just from Russia's enemies as part of a longer term plan of Putin's )
    regardless of whether he agreed to
    stage the coup as part of some master plan Putin's attempting vs
    was truly exiled to Belarus vs
    believes he may already be a target of Putin's assassins (Etc.).
    ~~~~~~~~
    I believe these may help explain why Ukraine's counter-offensive didn't benefit from the recent "coup attempt" reported by Russia.
    Time will tell.

    When Prigozhin marched on Moscow, Putin turned tail and ran. He's only interested in saving his own skin–he's a autocrat turned coward. When Putin marched on Kiev, Zelenzky stood his ground. He's responsible to his country–he's a comedian turned leader. Get Ukraine the tools it needs to kick Russia out of it's country and keep it out.

    Ukraine's offensive is a bust is the short answer and Washington will not give Ukraine what it needs to win. Ukraine is probably not going to retake the Doentsk and Crimea meaning she is essentially have lost the war. Good job in Biden throwing away American treasure on a lost cause.

    Hello, 🌻🌻🌻🏵🏵🏵🌼🌼🌼May I share an Old Testament Verse with you from Daniel 7:14 "And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a Kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should SERVE Him; his dominion is an Everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom shall not pass away, and His Kingdom that which shall not be destroyed." Also, can I share Isaiah 53:5 " But HE was WOUNDED For our TRANSGRESSIONS, he was BRUISED for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and with His STRIPES we are HEALED."

    God the Father loves you so much that He sent Holy Sinless Jesus (His Holy Son) to earth to be born of a virgin.Then, to grow up and die on a cross for our sins. He was in the tomb for 3 days, then Father God raised Holy and Sinless Jesus Christ (Y'shua) to Life! He appeared to people and went back to Heaven. We must receive Sinless Jesus sincerely to be God's child(John 1:12).After we get saved by grace through faith in Christ, if we truly love the Lord Jesus Christ, then we will obey Jesus(John 14:15). Mark 1:15 "And saying, the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: Repent ye, and believe the gospel." Jesus said in John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. "There's a real hell. It says in Revelation 21:8 "But for the cowardly, & unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, & immoral persons sorcerers & idolaters & all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire & brimstone…" Please sincerely receive Holy Jesus and put your true faith and trust in Him today and please repent. Will you have a Real encounter with Holy Lord Jesus (Y'shua is His Hebrew Name) and stay in a Genuine relationship with Him daily please?

    Of course it's an escalation to which Russia will be forced to match.
    Clearly the provocateur is NATO who sought to tempt Ukraine to join them, bringing troops and heavy munitions to the Russian Ukraine border, less than three hundred miles from the centre of Moscow with only the flat lands between them. I remember when I use to think we were 'The good guys' and it is horrible to see what we have become.

    To understand why the soldiers of the Russian Federation are murdering Ukrainian civilians, it follows from the fact that for "SOME" of the soldiers of the Russian Federation, Putin is not only the president, but above all "GOD" and in addition a god in the balls!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As if that wasn't enough, Putin is a god in relics. And since God said that it is necessary to kill the Ukrainians, how can you not do it, it is understandable. The greatest god for "PART" of the Russians is Vladimir Lenin, while the lesser god is Stalin and Putin. And since god is god, it means that the actions of people devoted to him are complete in their thinking, acting and devotion. Logical and rational thinking doesn't have to work that way. God Putin wants to kill Ukrainian civilians, so it must be done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The statements of the Orthodox Church clergy are also important here, for example, that a priest said that he would fire an artillery cannon at Ukrainians to kill them, another priest shot at Ukrainians with an RPG, another Orthodox priest ran to Putin to kiss his hands, it means that for some members of the Orthodox Church God Jesus Christ is not important but God Lenin, Stalin and Putin. This is why Mary, the Mother of God in Fatima, 1917, said about many mistakes in Russia, also in the present tense. Currently, many people in the Russian Federation should have a preventive examination of their mental condition, who is their god and what their life motivations are, why they do what they do. And do you know what will happen after Putin's death? The Orthodox Church will hang a monumental painting in an important place, it will be a painting of Putin and with relics!!!!!!!!!!!!! Millions of people will worship him. And if god Lenin died and he wasn't supposed to die, well that's puzzling (???) So that's why in the USSR and the Russian Federation it's so extremely bad and hard. Russians, you should help yourselves with a psychiatric visit. (M039)

    Зрозуміти, чому солдати РФ вбивають мирних українців, випливає з того факту, що для «ДЕЯКИХ» солдатів РФ Путін не тільки президент, а перш за все «БОГ» і крім того бог в яйця!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Наче цього було недостатньо, Путін — це бог у мощах. А раз Бог сказав, що треба вбивати українців, то як цього не робити, це зрозуміло. Найбільшим богом для «ЧАСТИНИ» росіян є Володимир Ленін, тоді як меншим богом є Сталін і Путін. А оскільки бог є богом, це означає, що вчинки відданих йому людей повні в їхньому мисленні, дії та відданості. Логічне та раціональне мислення не обов’язково має працювати таким чином. Бог Путін хоче вбивати мирне українське населення, тому це треба робити!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Тут також важливі заяви духовенства православної церкви, наприклад, священик сказав, що буде стріляти з артилерійської гармати в українців, щоб їх убивати, інший священик стріляв в українців з РПГ, інший православний священик побіг до Путіна поцілувати його. руками, це означає, що для деяких членів Православної Церкви важливий не Бог Ісус Христос, а Бог Ленін, Сталін і Путін. Ось чому Марія, Мати Божа у Фатімі 1917 року, сказала про багато помилок у Росії, також у теперішньому часі. Зараз багатьом людям в Російській Федерації варто пройти профілактичне обстеження свого психічного стану, хто для них бог і які життєві мотиви, чому вони роблять те, що роблять. А ви знаєте, що буде після смерті Путіна? Православна церква повісить монументальний живопис на важливому місці, це буде картина Путіна і з мощами!!!!!!!!!!!!! Мільйони людей поклонятимуться йому. А якщо бог Ленін помер і не мав помирати, то це дивно (???) Так от чому в СРСР і Російській Федерації так вкрай погано і важко. Росіяни, ви повинні допомогти собі відвідати психіатра. (N025)

    President Biden, NATO, does Ukraine deserve an opportunity to celebrate their own 4th of July? Controlling the air space over the battlefield in Ukraine, that's air superiority. Give Ukraine the munitions the Ukrainian's say they need. F-16's, F-16's, F-16's and ATACMS, let me repeat myself, ATACM's. I'm sorry but you and your advisors don't understand what Ukraine needs to win this war sooner than alter. Listen to the Ukraine military, Listen to your retired generals. Please!!! West, you are 12 months behind the training curve. Try looking like you're a little more ahead of Putin's learning curve.
