Hesitant to believe Russia will pull back. They want the land bridge to Crimea. Frankly they're idiots. Ukraine is no saint either. Negotiate a land deal. Give them their god damn road/rail and negotiate a resource deal for crops or whatever.

Ukraine is more corrupt, but Russia is just looking like a massive moron at this point. Negotiate. Give them money for the land you want with negotiations over resources. It's not complicated. They're going to piss away an entire generation of men and have demographic issues for decades. Russian women will flee to the west and Russia is fucked as usual for a century.

John Bolton is Mad that Ron DeSantis is Not Gung-Ho About Waging War Against Russia

After Florida Governor Ron DeSantis offered the reasonable, realist perspective that the Russo-Ukrainian conflict does not merit any further United States involvement, the neoconservative and superhawk wings of the Republican Party went bonkers. After the launch of Russia’s “special military operation” into Ukraine on February 24, 2023 these wings of the party consolidated to support waging a proxy war against Russia. For them, anyone who dared question such actions against Russia would be deemed a Putin apologist or agent of the Kremlin. Well it looks like DeSantis might be on the Russian government’s payroll.

Bolton said the following on Twitter on March 16, 2023:

I am disappointed by @GovRonDeSantis comments on Ukraine. Whatever the political strategy was, I think that it was wrong and in terms of geopolitics it was badly wrong. The conflict in Ukraine is of vital interest to the US and we deserve leaders who understand the importance of America’s global priorities.

Ukraine won't negotiate. They "negotiated" to end the civil war in Ukraine for 8 fucking years.

Ukraine is completely a puppet government, Zelenskyy has no agency. If Russia wishes to negotiate, they have to negotiate with the United States, and does the US have ANY interest in stopping this war?

I heard Putin put some Moscow protesters in jail for a few weeks.

How horrible is that - non violent protesters held in jail for a few weeks, pending trial. Then they got a few more weeks after being convicted for blocking traffic or throwing trash.

Thank goodness this kind of tyranny doesn't happen to Protesters in DC.

How would you sell to your constituence the idea of just giving up half of your country and turning it into a land-locked rump of its former self? Then, supposedly you successful in doing that, what would prevent Pukin from going for the rest of it in couple of years? With the benefit of diminished strategic depths at his side, among other things. Some kind of piece of paper he signed? LOL

Zelenskyy got elected because he promised to end the civil war in Ukraine. If that had happened, Russia wouldn't have attacked Ukraine, or at least, Russia wouldn't have had that excuse to go into Ukraine.

Zelenskyy is just a puppet, the US wants this war, it will continue for years I expect. Hopefully I'm wrong about this but we'll see.

Ukraine is already going to end up a land locked country, it may not even exist in 5 years as Ukraine.

Don't trust DeSantis. He's willing to kill people in wars if it helps him get elected POTUS. Make no mistake about it; the psychopath Neo-Cons control this man.

DeSantis Says ‘War Criminal’ Putin Should Be ‘Held Accountable’ Days After Saying Ukraine Not a ‘Vital’ U.S. Interest

DeSantis angered Republican hawks, Never Trumpers, and neocons less than two weeks ago when he characterized the Ukraine-Russia conflict as a “territorial dispute” that is not a “vital” U.S. interests.

DeSantis had told Fox News’s Tucker Carlson:

"While the U.S. has many vital national interests — securing our border, addressing the crisis of readiness within our military, achieving energy security and independence, checking the economic, cultural, and military power of the Chinese Communist Party — becoming further entangled in a territorial dispute between Ukraine and Russia is not one of them."

Kremlin: We'll Attack Any Country That Tries To Arrest Putin

There's been a number of new developments including tit-for-tat warnings and threats following the International Criminal Court's (ICC) last Friday issuance of an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The most blistering and alarming attack on the Hague-based court this week has been from former Russian president and current deputy chairman of the security council Dmitry Medvedev, who said any attempt to actually arrest Putin would be an act of war.

First, on Monday he said, "It’s quite possible to imagine a hypersonic missile being fired from the North Sea from a Russian ship at The Hague courthouse." He added as part of the warning: "Everyone walks under God and rockets… Look carefully to the sky..."

In follow-up on Wednesday he said in a video statement posted to Telegram that any "arrest" would surely spark world war 3...

"Let's imagine — obviously this situation which will never be realized — but nevertheless lets imagine that it was realized: The current head of the nuclear state went to a territory, say Germany, and was arrested," Medvedev said.

"What would that be? It would be a declaration of war on the Russian Federation," he continued. "And in that case, all our assets — all our missiles et cetera — would fly to the Bundestag, to the Chancellor's office."

Medvedev was responding to Germany saying it plans to cooperate with the ICC and arrest Putin if he were to ever fly to German soil.

WWIII Brewing? U.S. Launches Airstrikes in Syria after Drone Kills Contractor

'No group will strike our troops with impunity...'

(Headline USA) A strike Thursday by a suspected Iranian-made drone killed a U.S. contractor and wounded five American troops and another contractor in northeast Syria, the Pentagon said.

American forces said they retaliated soon after with “precision airstrikes” in Syria targeting facilities used by groups affiliated with Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, with activist groups saying they killed at least four people.

The attack and the U.S. response threaten to upend recent efforts to deescalate tensions across the wider Middle East, whose rival powers have made steps toward détente in recent days after years of turmoil.

Russia To Station Tactical Nukes In Belarus By July, Putin Says On State TV

A strike Thursday by a suspected Iranian-made drone killed a U.S. contractor and wounded five American troops and another contractor in northeast Syria, the Pentagon said.

“Why the fuck are US contractors and troops in Syria?” An innocent American said.

Supporting Ukraine sure was worth it, wasn't it? Woke America can't win a war against China, let alone one that includes Russia as an ally of China. Way to go Joe Biden ... the worst, most corrupt, and dangerous President in my lifetime.

China Open to Strengthening Military ‘Coordination’ with Russia
https://www.breitbart.com/asia/2023/03/31/china-open-strengthening-military-coordination-russia/

“The Chinese military is willing to work together with the Russian military to fully implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state, further strengthening strategic communication and coordination,” Chinese Defense Ministry spokesman Col. Tan Kefei said.

Tan said this enhanced cooperation could include more joint exercises and patrols, such as the five days of training held in the Gulf of Oman by China, Russia, and Iran during the week of March 15. Tan said the exercises would help the three authoritarian countries to “jointly carry out diversified maritime military missions.”

Russia: New Cold War is Over, We Are Now in ‘Hot Conflict With the United States’

"... the way our American opponents are recklessly, provocatively, and in many respects absolutely carelessly moving up the escalation ladder, the way they are blinded by their absolutely absurd certainty about their ability to inflict a strategic defeat on Russia makes one doubt their mental faculties and their common sense.”

The U.S. is “playing with fire” and was risking making “fatal mistakes”, Ryabkov said, saying the Russian Federation “will be ready to take all measures and to use all means at our disposal” if there were attempts to encroach on their sovereignty.

A little of topic here, but why would anyone use nukes when massive EMP's that rock us back to the stone age might be just as effective?

The Russians are saying that they are willing 'to use all means' at their 'disposal.' Their use of nuclear weapons doesn't rule out using EMPs as well, IMO. Whatever the case, we are playing with matches inside of a warehouse that is stacked to the rafters with dynamite.

RedStar says

Isn't a nuke the method to make a massive EMP?

Zelenskyy has now said he’s open to peace talks with Russia if only they let him have a few wins first, just to take back some of the territory he’s lost.
He sounds fucking pathetic.
His army is just about destroyed.
Russia will be the ones dictating terms.

Yes. From what I understand of it, it's a nuclear bomb set off above the atmosphere. The atmosphere is charged, moving it suddenly creates a magnetic and electrical surge, this hits all circuits with eddy currents, and it blows everything out.

Yep, and Air Force jets like the KC-135 are actually hardened to be able take an EMP pulse and continue functioning.

US Will Threaten Europe To Implement Sanctions on Russia

Two officials from the Treasury Department will visit European allies to demand trade with Russia ends

by Kyle Anzalone April 7, 2023

The White House plans to send a clear message to its European partners in the economic war against Russia, "you are either with us or against us." Two US Treasury officials will visit European and Central Asian partners next month to demand all sanctions on Russia be implemented.

Treasury officials Liz Rosenberg and Brian Nelson will meet with leaders of financial institutions in Switzerland, Italy and Germany. The AP reports the officials will have a simple message, "1. Continue to provide Moscow with material support or 2. Keep doing business with countries that represent 50 percent of the global economy."

BREAKING: LEAKED US DEFENSE DOCUMENTS SHOWS WESTERN FORCES ON THE GROUND IN UKRAINE! …And Countries ARE NAMED in Leaked Document!

According to the document, dated 23 March, the UK has the largest contingent of special forces in Ukraine (50), followed by fellow Nato states Latvia (17), France (15), the US (14) and the Netherlands (1).

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/04/breaking-leaked-us-defense-documents-shows-western-forces-on-the-ground-in-ukraine-and-countries-are-named-in-leaked-document/

PS: President Truman was the first to send 'military advisors' into what was then known as French Indochina, later named Viet Nam. At first, America's presence made up a small contingency, but during the peak of the Viet Nam War, America's troop strength reached 543,000+. Could this escalate to that level?

Do we really want to risk a major war with Russia in their part of the world? Don't count on NATO, it's a paper tiger! And, if Russia gets backed into a corner, they WILL use their nuclear arsenal to defend their country.

Chances are such a low number are trainers for small groups of UA. It's too few to be advisors.

One thing I do wonder is how many Western Contractors are there.

Many. Who cares? Let them fucking destroy themselves. It's hysterical it's even a debate among Americans. If you want to go die, go for it if you're doing it voluntarily. Again, who cares?

RayAmerica said, “ Don't count on NATO, it's a paper tiger! And, if Russia gets backed into a corner, they WILL use their nuclear arsenal to defend their country.”

True. Last month the EU voted to send 2 billion in arms to Ukraine. These were to come from member nations who would be reimbursed for the munitions. They swiftly realized that there simply weren’t that many munitions in the EU to buy and send to Ukraine!
Paper tiger indeed.
And their citizens are mostly disarmed.

Yeah, Malcolm Nance is there and likely advising and training on intel.

I suspect Dyncorp and Blackwater (or whatever new names they go by) are there with their "contractors" just like they were in Afghanistan such as "providing security" for U.S. State Department officials, etc.

Look up the slang term "sheep dipping" as that could come into play there.

How on Earth does a 21-year old in the AIR National Guard have access to all these documents?

Given his age, nevermind not active army, what rank could he possibly be? Why would an AANG unit have these kids of documents? Why would he have access to them?

Regardless of how you feel about Russia-Ukraine, there's simply no reason one can fathom that a person of such junior rank, in a Guard unit, could come in contact with this material, which is clearly big picture stuff. If this level of info is so widely distributed, it's a foolish Security Risk.

I wonder if he worked with someone else to get this classified info.

Oh, no doubt Malcolm Nance is a intelligence asset fag. He's supposedly in Ukraine to "fight the good fight" - you know how I know this is false?
