How can we determine precisely what’s going on in Ukraine when actually everyone is mendacity? Anybody that willingly embraces the propaganda that’s being put out by both aspect with out questioning it’s merely not being rational. At a time like this, we should assume for ourselves and we should come to our personal conclusions. And we needs to be doing no matter we will to cease a worldwide conflict from beginning. For years, I have been warning that the USA and Russia had been heading towards conflict, and now we’re virtually there. If we will’t cease it from taking place, tens of tens of millions of individuals might die, and so the stakes are extremely excessive.
Do I belief Vladimir Putin?
No method.
He says that the troops that he has massed on Ukraine’s borders usually are not a risk.
In fact they’re a risk.
However is it a risk to invade Ukraine, or is it a risk to strike again if Ukraine invades Donetsk and Luhansk?
In fact I don’t belief the Biden administration both.
You’d be amazed at what number of in any other case rational persons are telling me that though the Biden administration has not stopped mendacity ever since they took energy that I ought to now totally consider all the pieces that they’re telling us about Ukraine.
What a joke.
Anybody that has unquestioning religion in something that Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, Anthony Blinken or Jake Sullivan has to say is being fairly silly.
I don’t need propaganda.
I simply need the reality.
So what’s the reality?
Nicely, that’s going to be arduous to determine in an atmosphere the place lies are being consistently fired in our course.
To the very best that I can decide, widespread artillery bombardment started lower than 24 hours after Russia introduced that some troops would begin to be pulled again from the border areas.
On Friday, the extent of shelling was significantly dangerous. In keeping with the OSCE, there have been over 1,400 explosions “within the insurgent held areas of Donetsk and Luhansk” throughout that 24 hour interval…
Fears of tensions boiling over had been backed up by figures launched Saturday by the OSCE, which confirmed there have been greater than 1,400 explosions within the insurgent held areas of Donetsk and Luhansk on Friday.
The OSCE’s Particular Monitoring Mission that’s deployed within the battle zone mentioned it had logged 553 explosions in Donetsk and an extra 860 in neighbouring Luhansk – including that it had confirmed one civilian casualty in a government-controlled space of Donetsk.
It put the overall variety of ceasefire violations on Friday at greater than 1,500, in contrast with 870 the day earlier than, suggesting an upwards trajectory of gunfire and mortars.
What I simply shared comes from a British information supply, and that’s vital to notice, as a result of western information sources are imagined to be convincing us that the Russians are about to invade Ukraine.
However it’s the Ukrainians that look like prepping for an invasion as they relentlessly pound Donetsk and Luhansk.
In fact the Ukrainians deny this, and a few western media sources are literally making an attempt to assert that the separatists in Donetsk and Luhansk are shelling themselves tons of of instances in an effort to justify a Russian invasion of Ukraine.
So what’s the reality?
That may be a excellent query.
It’s actually true that the separatists have been firing again into Ukrainian-held territory, and the federal government of Ukraine is asking this “provocative firing”.
However so far as I can decide, it was the Ukrainians that began firing first.
I actually can’t show that, as a result of I’m only one man on the opposite aspect of the planet making an attempt to determine issues out as either side relentlessly mislead all of us.
Nonetheless, what needs to be extremely clear to everyone seems to be that someone on the market actually, actually needs a conflict to occur.
Within the weeks forward, I believe that it’ll develop into clear who that’s.
The Russians try to persuade us that Ukraine is making ready to invade Donetsk and Luhansk now that they’ve been armed to the enamel by the U.S. and different NATO nations…
The Kremlin mentioned the availability of weapons and ammunition by NATO nations to Ukraine was pushing Kyiv in direction of a ‘navy answer’ in opposition to separatists within the nation’s east.
‘Consequently, civilians… who should evacuate to Russia to flee the intensifying shelling, endure,’ the Kremlin added.
However, the Biden administration is making an attempt to persuade us that Russia is making an attempt to “create a false pretext for invasion” as a result of Putin is a madman that desperately needs to get his palms on Ukraine. Actually, Kamala Harris says that what we’re witnessing is correct out of the “playbook of Russian aggression”…
“There’s a playbook of Russian aggression,” Harris instructed the heads of state and authorities, overseas dignitaries and a big delegation from the USA. “And this playbook is just too acquainted for us all. Russia will plead ignorance and innocence. It’s going to create a false pretext for invasion. And it’ll amass troops and firepower in plain sight.”
So who is correct and who’s flawed?
Simply hours in the past, we discovered that U.S. officers have supposedly gotten new “intelligence” that Putin has issued “an order to go forward with an invasion of Ukraine”…
The U.S. has picked up intelligence displaying that Russian navy officers got an order to go forward with an invasion of Ukraine, a U.S. official and one other individual with data of the matter instructed NBC Information.
The intelligence, which was developed very just lately, knowledgeable President Joe Biden’s startling declaration Friday that the U.S. believes President Vladimir Putin has already determined to invade, the folks mentioned.
I don’t assume that Russia goes to invade Ukraine right now.
Or tomorrow.
Or the subsequent day.
Actually, I don’t assume that he needs to invade Ukraine in any respect.
However I do assume that Putin positively needs to maintain Ukraine out of NATO and western missiles off of his doorstep. Simply try some remarks that he made late final 12 months…
“It’s you who should give us ensures, and you will need to do it instantly, proper now,” he mentioned at his annual information convention late final 12 months. “Are we deploying missiles close to the US border? No, we’re not. It’s the USA that has come to our dwelling with its missiles and is already standing at our doorstep.”
I additionally assume that Putin may be very occupied with holding Ukraine out of Donetsk and Luhansk.
If Ukraine invades Donetsk and Luhansk and begins taking numerous territory, I believe that Putin will really feel pressured to intervene.
After which western leaders could have the “Russian invasion” that they’ve been promising us.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson made headlines everywhere in the globe when he warned that the Russians are planning “the most important conflict in Europe since 1945”…
Proof suggests Russia is planning “the most important conflict in Europe since 1945”, Prime Minister Boris Johnson has mentioned.
He instructed the BBC’s Sophie Raworth in an interview: “All of the indicators are that the plan has already in some senses begun.”
Intelligence suggests Russia intends to launch an invasion that can encircle Ukrainian capital Kyiv, Mr Johnson mentioned.
No, I don’t assume that’s what the Russians actually need.
But when neither aspect backs down, I believe that’s precisely what we’re going to get.
No one needs to be invading anyone. The Russians shouldn’t invade Ukraine, and the Ukrainians shouldn’t invade Donetsk and Luhansk.
Finally, everyone ought to simply take a step again and chill out.
However it seems that’s not going to occur. Due to all the shelling in Donetsk and Luhansk, the Russians have introduced that they are going to be extending their “navy drills” in Belarus indefinitely…
Russia will lengthen its navy drills with Belarus due to rising violence in Ukraine’s Donbas area, the federal government in Minsk mentioned, as Russian President Vladimir Putin accepted a brand new spherical of talks with Kyiv amid warnings of an imminent Russian invasion.
If conflict begins, that can plunge the U.S. and Russia right into a everlasting state of battle.
In fact missiles wouldn’t begin flying backwards and forwards instantly. At first, either side would use different measures to place stress on the opposing aspect.
However finally a breaking level can be reached, and somebody would go for the jugular.
We should not permit issues to get to that time.
As a result of if we do cross that line, tens of tens of millions of individuals might die in a conflict that no one needs.
