South African president blames NATO for Ukraine
“The war could have been avoided if NATO had heeded the warnings from amongst its own leaders and officials over the years that its eastward expansion would lead to greater, not less, instability in the region,” Ramaphosa told South African lawmakers on Thursday.
Rather than reaping an expected peace dividend after the Cold War ended in 1991, NATO expanded, adding former Warsaw Pact nations and ex-Soviet republics to its fold, starting with Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic in 1999. Another wave came on board in 2004, including Bulgaria, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia. Albania and Croatia followed in 2009; then came Montenegro in 2017 and North Macedonia in 2020. Ukraine and Georgia have asked to join the bloc.

72 hour rule in effect here big time. 13 Heroes Died saying "F U!"
Lots of use of human shields by Azov in Mariupol, Refugees were complaining the Azov Battalion was blocking the agreed humanitarian corridor out of town. This was a few days ago, I don't have the link.
My asspull guess is the Russians are creating a "Cauldron" around the Ukrainians blocking in the Luhansk/Donetsk area, and the AFU (Armed Forces of Ukraine) put Azov in Mariupol since they have good morale and keep the public from assisting/selling to the breakaway areas with intimidation as the holder of the Southern Flank.
I expect to see Russian forces in the North cut south or go to the Dneipr and send holding forces South to cut off the AFU west of Donbas, though the priority is encircling Kiev.
Only 150,000 troops on Russia's side are currently involved, hardly the overwhelming force that was expected.
The corvette of the Black Sea Fleet “Vasily Bykov”, which was “sunk” by the Ukrainian media, returned unharmed to the port of Sevastopol. “Vasily Bykov” reached the harbor of Sevastopol on March 16. No visible damage was noted. In the lists of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the ship is still listed as “sunk”.

Basically this is Afghanistan 2.0, and the CIA is again funding and training terrorists. But this time their focus will not be on the Middle East, but on us, here. Heed this warning now, or we will all be white supremacist domestic terrorists in five years.
Total video is 2.5 hours, but only the first half is dedicated to Ukraine.
