Running Newsticker for the War in Ukraine

Hey, in Russia accidental and mysterious and “accidental” deaths are a revered tradition.

 

The Walruses maybe? Or Sea Lions. Or just plain KGB.

 

KGB on Steroids.

I suspect there is a lot of dissent we are not hearing about.

 

Quite possible....I suspect there are parties looking on how to get rid of the Kremlin clown and this epic disaster of a "war"?

 

what's interesting is that the report comes from VChK-OGPU which is generally accepted as being close to FSB sources. It stated that the FSB wanted to get information from Kotelnikov but he died in solitary.....it kind of hints at this being a screw-up on the part of the FSB...he probably wasn't meant to die...at least at that point...??

 

Or was killed by the target of the investigation to keep Kotelnikov from talking.

 

ah yes............beware! There be rabbit holes.....with many apologies to Ortelius.....

 

and 10 years on.....still making magical statements....."weren't us gov'nor..."

 

That is a likely scenario.

 

With apologies to Paul Simon: "Still lying after all these years."

Key Takeaways:

So far 572000 RuZzki KIA ....that # could be considerably higher since battles,skirmishes,firefights are constantly ongoing and most dead Orc conscripts are left to rot in the open.

Key Takeaways:

• Russian state news outlets editorialized comments by Russian Security Council Deputy Chairperson Dmitry Medvedev and claimed that he said that the Ukrainian state will no longer exist by 2034, likely to support the Kremlin's efforts to prepare the Russian public for a long war in Ukraine while promising that Russia will complete its objective to destroy Ukrainian statehood within a decade.
• Russian officials continue to seize on diplomatic meetings with European states to create the impression that Russia is normalizing its relations with the West and claim that there is limited Western support for Russia.
• Russia and India continue to strengthen their bilateral relationship amid reports of ongoing Russian weapons exports to India.
• Russia and Ukraine exchanged 95 prisoners of war (POWs) each in a one-to-one POW exchange on July 17.
• Kremlin officials continue attempts to curry favor with Russian ultranationalists by appealing to anti-migrant animus despite such appeals generating tensions with the Russian government’s efforts to execute the Kremlin's wider migration policy.
• Ukrainian forces regained positions south of Toretsk, and Russian forces recently advanced north of Kharkiv City and near Kupyansk, Svatove, Avdiivka, and Vuhledar.
• Russia's crypto-mobilization campaign continues to generate increasing financial costs for the Russian government. . . .

 

LOL....it's 2034 now?.....what happened to 3 days?

RuZzia doesn't have until 2034.....China has already absorbed much of the Far East and Mandarin classes are being introduced in numerous RuZzian classrooms across Siberia?

Also name changes have taken place according to Chinese maps. Vladivostok is now known as Hashenwai?

 

Where did you find these interesting tidbits of info? Sounds like something I need to read.

 

You wanted to destroy Russia yourself! You only saw her as an enemy. Now think about what will happen in 2034 if China absorbs Russia and whether it is beneficial to the United States.

You shouted about the "evil empire" of Russia. I would like to see what you have to say about the super empire of Greater China! Eat a spoonful of the **** you've done. You didn't like the Russians, so let's see how you like the Chinese.

 

It's interesting that you use the phrase "evil empire" are you suggesting we should view Russia through a "Western" lens...Russia should be likened to a naughty "Western" nation perhaps?

.....medieval would be a better description.....if one looks at the levels of accepted and authorised violence and the ways in which officials and government officials and the media conducts itself and the repression of the population, merely vassals of Putin...yeah...medieval would be an apt description. Which if you look at the aftermath of Crocus City and how the "suspects" were treated - medieval fits about right.

 

Well, zoomy is Ukrainian background so probably prefers China to Russia at this point...lol

 

You should watch less TV!
