Biden White House, project Ukraine policy shift

A small but remarkable little story. (I remember also reading something very similar that happened last year.)

The text reads:

Staff at a Donetsk hospital rescued a wounded man at the risk of their own lives. A soldier had a 10-centimetre grenade fragment removed from his lung.
The operation lasted more than an hour, medics wore helmets and body armor, and pyrotechnicians were on duty in the operating room. Eventually the explosive object was removed. It was handed over to the rescuers for destruction.

The accompanying photo shows an X-ray of the man's lung, featuring a large white rectangular object stuck right in there.

And a more sobering post, a very good English translation from the original at Readovka. Not only have there been mass Ukrainian casualties that shocked even some Russian commanders, but there were also hundreds of Ukrainian troops surrendering.

~~~

"We had enough of this war" - amid unsuccessful counter-offensive by the Ukrainian Armed Forces, mass surrender of enemy soldiers has been recorded.

Constant unsuccessful attacks, which result in huge losses, have a very negative impact on the morale of the soldiers of the AFU. For example, in the last two days alone, numerous videos have been published of Ukrainian soldiers surrendering.

And this is an extremely unpleasant wake-up call for the Kiev regime. After all, it is usually the soldiers of the defending side who surrender during an offensive, not the attacking troops. So this reverse disproportion in the number of prisoners of war is evidence of serious problems in the Ukrainian armed forces.

The reasons for these problems are absolutely transparent and clear. Russian minefields have not been cleared, artillery has not been suppressed and air cover has not been provided. It already sounds bleak. And then with such unfavourable inputs the "defenders" are sent to meat assaults without support of their armoured equipment and artillery.

The surprise here is not that the Ukrainians surrender and refuse to advance, but that someone else manages to be sent into these suicidal attacks. At the same time, the "fog of war" hides from us much of what goes on behind enemy lines.

Russian intelligence learns about the refusal of whole units to go into battle from the interrogations of prisoners and from the data of radio interception, but the number of deserters is still unknown. However, it is certain that with each day of this failed counterattack, more and more AFU soldiers will leave their units voluntarily.

In a fortnight of heavy fighting the enemy has not achieved any major success. The Ukrainian armed forces are trampling in the pre-field, bleeding to death.

Even the information received today about the occupation of the village of Pyatikhatka by Ukrainian troops can hardly be interpreted as any progress in the stalled offensive. The enemy troops have not even reached the main line of Russian fortifications in this section of the front.

The enemy command had less and less time to change its approach to the offensive. Otherwise, very soon the number of those who refuse will reach catastrophic proportions. And the counter-offensive will quieten down by itself, because there will simply be no one to attack.

A couple of things I picked up a few days ago really stuck with me, probably heard on The Duran as my go- to source of updates on the war each morning, or maybe a comment in an interview on The New Atlas (sorry this is a bit vague). Anyway someone referred to what is happening in Ukraine as mass murder; the other comment I recall was that (paraphrasing here) 'the West,' or those running this thing, do not care about Ukrainians or how many die in appalling conditions, as they are seen as related to Russians (which they certainly are on several levels). The psychopathy seems to be really that bad.

I myself can't see the war as anything less than strait-up murder (though it is more and worse than that too given multiple agendas), and maybe the surrendering soldiers are seeing that as well. What must it be like for Russian soldiers also to have to kill so many people they know haven't got much of a chance in battle.

Yes. I can't locate the telegram post now, but a couple of days ago one Russian commander said [my paraphrase] that they merely wanted to defeat the Ukraine military, NOT murder every one of their soldiers. (And many of the deaths have been because the Ukrainians are no longer evacuating their own wounded, leaving them to slowly and agonizingly die wherever they fell.)

Here's a 30-second video that's a little tough to look at, but this seriously wounded Ukrainian soldier will survive. That's because he was rescued by the Russians, who are now giving him the best medical treatment that they can.

In addition to the mass surrenders (and reported defections and refusals to fight), it's been reported that the 47th Brigade of the AFU is now breaking their own equipment to avoid going on the offensive.

🤬 Zelensky-controlled "Orthodox Church of Ukraine" has consecrated an icon featuring Bandera and Shukhevych, the Union of Orthodox Journalists has reported.

In addition, the icon includes the flag of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army.

Stepan Bandera and Roman Shukhevych are the most notorious Ukrainian war criminals and Nazi collaborators, directly responsible for massacres of Poles, Jews and Soviet Ukrainians. According to various estimates, their victims numbered in the hundreds of thousands.

Both Bandera and Shukhevych are venerated as heroes in modern Ukraine.

Now imagine an icon featuring Hitler, Goebbels, and a Nazi flag in some Catholic church.

During the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah located in Lebanon where the latter achieved a strategic advantage leading the Zionist State to, more or less, “respect” their Northern border neighbours (which has not prevented them from attacking other neighbours in more sophisticated ways since), Hezbollah’s military leader stated in an interview that they had no respect for the technologically armed soldiers of the West, whether they were Israelis or Americans: for them, the only real fight would be between two men armed each with a knife.. Men with equal weapons, in other words, and that of course was another way of saying: with just their bare hands, or still differently: with just their martial arts abilities.

Chivalry would then be the rule. The distance to purely symbolical fighting – where entire armies fighting are replaced by just a 2-person match between their individual champions – a bare-handed fight between Joseph Biden and Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin for instance – would then be small.

All the rest is a form of mass murder. The way in which the West “wins” through technological superiority is in essence the expression and result of their basically racist attitude: they refuse the physical battle between two bodies because that would confront them with their own fundamental fear of life, their crippled desire, their incapacity to love, forgive, ...

The refusal to fight, this almost Luddite refusal to use armour in fighting may represent a glimmer of hope for future humanity – because the Russian army may acknowledge this as what it is: the return to innocence.

I hope and pray that they maximise a policy which is already theirs of destroying as much “Ukrainian” weaponry as possible as Ukrainian soliders are already doing themselves while at the same time maximising the possibilities for surrender which the Ukrainian soldiers are doing as well.

Nikolaev. The beginning of the end

A cholera outbreak begins in parts of Nikolaev, Ukraine. Residents are forbidden to leave their homes.

It should be noted that in the Soviet Union and modern Russia 99% of residents are vaccinated against the disease, but in Ukraine along with "decommunisation" the vaccine struggles has been actively developed.

We can see the results. It is important to note that thousands of AFU troops are stationed in Nikolayev.

No counter-offensive, now the Ukrainian military will fight the toilet bowl.

The interviewer is how old? 25?
The interviewee is how old? 75?
The interviewer will burn in Hell for fifty years because of the moral pain he has inflicted and the physical pain he will vicariously inflict (by a means of a few clubs wielded by his chums behind the corner maybe?) on a poor old man who does not want to give up truth.
