Re <<mistakenly thinks Russia Russia Russia started a war in Ukraine>>

... well, indubitably true that Russia Russia Russia did start at least this phase of the war, 24th February, in Ukraine.

What is murkier is whether there was a war in the Ukraine already underway against Russian Russian Russian speakers, and what else might have happened over the last 300 years, practically speaking memory regarding past wrongs might end for some cultures but perhaps not others.

In the meantime there are controversies w/r to whether any party is winning at the tactical, strategic, and media levels.

I figure that all should become quite clear with the passage of time, but, yet still, it is useful to try to figure out ahead of time, as the truth should and could impact carbon energy pricing, interest rate and such same.

I appreciate social media and hobbyist journalist, for they give us enough to ponder, deliberate, dialogue, as opposed to simply being spoon-fed

And over time, the more credible floats to the top. Bottom line, the only thing that remains true is that Ukraine experienced a rug-pull. The coalition of the willing and like-minded are essentially doing absolutely nothing to help the people of Ukraine, and doing nothing in broad daylight

Russia Claims Control Of Key Railway Hub, Solidifying Eastern Ukraine Gains

Authored by 'Sundance' via The Last Refuge blog,




If you were to read the play-by-play of information in the U.K. Telegraph [ SEE HERE], you could get whiplash from the diametrically opposed narratives coming from both sides in the propaganda war.

On one hand the western narrative is that Russia is losing, getting weaker, running out of money and weapons. On the other hand, France and Germany are asking Russian President Vladimir Putin to release all of the captured soldiers he is gathering, while western media claim all the Ukraine retreats are strategic.

It would appear the Monty Python knight has lost all his appendages and is yelling, come back coward, Ill bite your kneecaps.

(Via Telegraph)  Russia said its forces were in full control of the Ukrainian town of Lyman, a railway hub in the Donetsk region, on Saturday in a gain that would help set the stage for the next phase of the Kremlins offensive in the eastern Donbas.
Ukrainian and Russian forces had been fighting for Lyman for several days. The town lies 40 km (30 miles) west of Severodonetsk, the largest Donbas city still held by Ukraine but now under heavy assault from Russian forces. The governor of Luhansk region, which along with Donetsk makes up the Donbas, said on Friday that Russian troops had entered Severodonetsk.
The Russian gains indicate a shift in momentum in the war. ( read more)


Meanwhile the U.S. State Department, the actual combatant command center for the U.S. proxy war, along with internationally aligned diplomatic corps and the U.S. intelligence apparatus, are continuing to push the propaganda as if we cannot see how clearly staged it is.

Indeed, with the Pentagon preferring a ceasefire and peaceful negotiations while the State Dept demands more war, these are very remarkable times on the other side of the looking glass.

...If you ignore the new and clean uniform, to include the fresh out of the package gloves and helmet; and if you ignore the clean, groomed and well presented appearance of the soldier; carefully chosen for the youthful connection needed with the targeted audience; then its possible to admire the cinematography as well contextualized and constructed for social media delivery. The background music is a generally good selection, and has the feels as they say.

However, the Ukraine narrative engineers consistently run in to a problem when people start looking at the marketing aspect. World War Reddit, becomes transparent.
