    6 months later and none of these predictions were right. I still dont think Ukaine is winning really but Russia isnt winning neither. Russia has taken 20% of Ukraine with brute force. There is two ways this can go. Ukraine manages to do a counter offensive and expels Russia. Or the scenario I think is more likely: Russia wont leave. They will attempt to annex what they have already taken and double down their efforts. It is in Russias interest to reach a stalemate for now. They want to resupply during winter, make Europe freeze their asses off to weaken their resolve. Ukraine is absolutely dependent on military aid for years to come. What will happen if Russia gets time to consolidate is that they can throw in 300K reqruits every year. They also have a million professional soldiers on paper. Annexing Donbas will make it easier to do a general mobilization in those areas. Russia also has 2 million reservists and with a general mobilization, they have 3 times more people than Ukraine. I suspect Russia will crush Ukraine gradually over many years just with its meat weight. My theory may very well be wrong of course. Russian tech seems outdated. They have bad dicipline and morale. Western weapons may be what tips the scales.

    All the destruction and loss of life needs to be posted in the form of a bill to be paid by the Russians.
    Put it all on Putin’s tab.
    And update the amount daily – the amount that Russia will be responsible for at the end of the conflict.

    BIOLOGICAL LABORATORIES IN UKRAINE AS A WEAPON AGAINST RUSSIA
    ❗️❗️❗️

    The topic of biological laboratories of Americans on the territory of Ukraine, raised yesterday, was further developed in the speech this morning by the official representative of the Russian Ministry of Defense, Igor Konashenkov.

    The topic of biological warfare, which the Americans are preparing, is more important than ever.
    “The Russian Ministry of Defense continues to work on the analysis of documents submitted by employees of Ukrainian biological laboratories on the secret military biological activities of the United States on the territory of Ukraine.
    Russian specialists from the Radiation, Chemical and Biological Defense Forces studied documents on the transfer of human biomaterials taken in Ukraine to foreign countries on the instructions of US representatives.
    In addition, of particular interest was the detailed information on the implementation of the US project on the territory of Ukraine to study the transfer of pathogens by wild birds migrating between Ukraine and Russia, and other neighboring countries.
    According to the documents, the American side planned to conduct work on pathogens of birds, bats and reptiles in Ukraine in 2022, with a further transition to studying the possibility of carrying African swine fever and anthrax.

    Biolaboratories set up and funded in Ukraine have been experimenting with bat coronavirus samples, documents show.
    The goal of this and other Pentagon-funded biological research in Ukraine was to establish a mechanism for the covert spread of deadly pathogens.”
    In the near future, the press service of the Russian Defense Ministry will publish the next package of documents received from Ukrainian employees of biological laboratories and present the results of their examination.
    On my own behalf, I want to add that we are receiving indirect confirmation of the fact, which was discussed many times during the COVID 19 pandemic, about the possible involvement of the US special services in the creation of the virus, from which, by the way, the US itself suffered more than other countries.

    Dear readers, subscribers! The United States declared war on the entire Slavic world. Ukraine and other countries were guinea pigs, and they planned to use their deadly bacteriological weapons against all of us, especially against Russia. We'll find out more later. What fate was prepared for u

    This guy fails to mention at the time of this broadcast that foreign Fighters helping Ukraine will be something to watch for.
    As of right now from various sources that are public the estimates are that 47,000 foreign fighters from many different countries in the world are actually in Ukraine right now and armed to help do Ukrainian forces. It is estimated that 75% of these volunteers are combat veterans and the number just keeps growing by the day.

    Either the west is underestimating Putin, or they are just straight up gaslighting people. They keep saying he's mad, crazy etc. The man was a KGB agent, and then the DIRECTOR of the FSB. Among world leaders he might be the most well versed in geopolitics. I doubt sanctions were not considered In the war plan. I assume that's why he secured that strategic partnership with China a month ago. They'll use China to work around SWIFT. Mastercard and Visa are already being replaced by the Chinese Unionpay. They jus handled a 1.4 trillion economy exclusively to China. Thus is only beginning, sanctions will start to hit the west too. That's why they are trying to mend relationships with Iran and Venezuela to try to replace Russian energy quick…good luck…

    He knew this before waging a war. As long as he gets help from China as he is now, he's good.

    Why don't we pre-emptively hit CHINA with sanctions too.

    Given we are not sanctioning their oil, they will get paid by US to fight though the sanctions. Oil funds at least 50% of the Russian government. We import Russian oil. And, we are doing NOTHING to sanction their oil. Ukraine discovered huge natural gas and oil resources in 2012. They would of become an oil competitor to Russia. Russia invaded Crimea and East Ukraine in 2014 where the majority of those resources were. So, part of this war is about oil. And, we are not sanctioning it.

    The reason for the intervention of NATO troops, the Western press calls a wave of ethnic cleansing in the region[13][14][15].

    Subsequently, the International Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia confirmed the responsibility of the Yugoslav security services for crimes against humanity against the Albanian population of Kosovo, especially during the NATO operation[16].

    NATO bombing of Yugoslavia began on March 24 and ended on June 10, 1999. Both military installations and civilian infrastructure were under attack. According to the authorities of the FRY, during the bombing, the total number of civilian deaths was over 1,700 people, including almost 400 children, about 10 thousand were seriously injured[12]. According to the UN, 821 people are missing, most of them Serbs. Due to the fact that NATO used radioactive depleted uranium in ammunition, the Allied Force operation claimed the lives of people even after its end[17].
