Zelensky needs to get his ass back to Ukraine.
Russia claiming shells falling inside Russia...might use as an excuse to invade
Damage from Rostov, Russia, where Ukrainian BM-21 122mm rockets fell on a farm
https://rumble.com/vvbten-footage-from-rostov-russia-where-ukrainian-bm-21-122mm-rockets-fell-on-a-fa.html
Scary times for sure.
The remaining question, is how greedy will Putin be?
Zelensky needs to get his ass back to Ukraine.
************
He’ll be the first to leave the country if things get hot.
Just watch.
“Zelensky needs to get his ass back to Ukraine.”
Probably not a bad idea.
As planned, 19.02.2022 in Russia conducted training of strategic forces.
In particular in their move:
- the launch of the Kinzhal hyper-sound aerobalistic missiles;
- launches of winged missiles “Calibre” and hyperzvukovih “zirkonív” sea base;
- winged rocket of the “Iskander” complex;
- MBR “Yars”;
- winged air base missiles;
- Balistic rocket “Sinêva” from the submarine.
NOTES:
The following facts are interesting to us:
**1. As you can see from the official video, the “Kinzhal” rocket launched from the MiG-31 plane did not hit the target. As a goal was symbolically chosen for Russia a residential house (screenshot from video).

However, going to be hard for Russia to deny their attacks as it was published by RADIO LIBERTY, correspondents were at the scene.
A mortar attack took place at the position of the 30th Brigade near the village of Novoluganskoye (to watch the video, scroll to the end of the news).
According to Anton Gerashchenko, adviser to the interior minister, journalists from CNN, FOXnews, Washington post, New York Times, Voice of America and other world media were able to see who is actually preparing for an offensive on peaceful Ukraine, and who is preparing for defense.

Pray for the people of Ukraine
You are aware that the UN and NATO are not the same thing?
“NATO does not have my trust”
*************
That’s a reasonable view considering that it’s hard to trust anyone who doesn’t want to pay their fair share of the cost burden. Just saying.
If Ukraine should join NATO we will have yet another country to militarily subsidize, if we are not already doing it.
““NATO does not have my trust””
The United States does not have my trust anymore. I think the USA government hates me.
Ukrainians: "Russia is getting ready to invade us".
Now, a lot of weird stuff has gone on with Ukraine. We had a coup d'etat in 2014, that was a classic Soros style "color revoution". The Democratically elected government (that was pro-Russian) was deposed and replaced with a new, unelected Government that was pro EU and USA.
That was the event that set things on the present course.
I'm also reminded that after that US backed coup, somehow the crack-head son of Obama's VP, Biden, got a ridiculous no-show job that paid him over $1 million a year, that we know (from the Laptop from Hell) that Joe himself was probably getting his "10% for the Big Man".
And when the legitimately elected President of the USA attempted to bring some of this up with a newly elected President of the Ukraine: his private phone call was "overheard" by US Military Officer who happened himself to be Ukrainian, and he went to the Deep State and hostile Democrats with his "overheard" information and they ginned up a totally political impeachment designed to take Trump down in an election year.
Main witnesses were the Ukrainian-born US Army officer, and a foreign-born US Ambassador the the Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch.
Everything done to Trump (and America) in this period was spearheaded by people with stong ties to Ukraine.
THE POLTIICAL SITUATION
After the legitimate elected government of Ukraine was overthrown in 2014, not surprisingly not everyone in the country was anxious to be ruled by the rebel appointed President. Several regions rebelled, broke off and formed their own Republics. In addition the Crimea had an uprising, with Russian support, and at the end of it was annexed by Russia.
Play stupid games (coup d'etat against elected leaders) win stupid prizes (secession of regions of the country that don't want to be ruled by the new self-appointed bosses).
Now, there are plenty of Russian counter-claims to go against the Ukrainian claims that you've posted here. Basically their claims go like this:
Russian claims: The Ukrainians are going to attack the break away Republics in the Donbass region.
They have at least as many obviously biased articles to support their claims as the Ukrainians do to support their claims.
Ahhh, the Slavs!
For instance:
LIVE UPDATES: Kiev's Forces Fire Over 400 Shells Towards DPR, Situation Remains Acute, Donetsk Says
In philosophical terms: I don't see the breakup of corrupt, failing multi-cultural super-states (Ukraine) into federaltions of smaller independent, homogeneous Republics as something so horrible that the USA should get involved, particularly when the areas in question border on Russia.
I hope we stay out of it.
Shut up and pay your taxes serf.
They are both deep state. UN manages Wars in Korea, Viet Nam, Afghanistan and Africa. Nato only stirs things up in the North Atlantic.
Good reply. The first casualty of war is truth.
Propaganda flying on all sides.
Lots of fighting around Donetsk right now
Explosions can be heard in Donetsk, Ukraine

Ukraine is attacking Russia just like Poland attacked Germany in 1939.
