  1. He had a chance to explain what it is in the beginning and totally blew it. Is this really an expert? He goes right into the politics. I thought the experts were supposed to enlighten us in their areas of expertise.

  2. Every time 'Russia says' someone's planning something or makes other BS claims of that nature, it's something they themselves are planning to do, or are guilty of doing. Preposterous, but in a way handy having them inform us so openly about their secret plots.

  3. If he does it there will not be a single Russian unit left in Ukraine. They're all targeted. If the word is given Ukraine is liberated in one massive, precision strike. (Or perhaps just the black sea fleet as a warning shot).

  4. The corporate media class is wholly interwoven with intelligence services and military think-tanks. Gleichschaltung is at the level of German newspapers under Goebbels. Shame on you. You are morally completely bankrupt. NATO propaganda rag.

  7. Russia will keep finding pretexts for its ongoing invasion. It's had nothing but pretexts from the start.

    They don't have to make sense, be credible or even close to realistic, they just have to be enough to justify (to Russians) the ongoing military disaster it is suffering itself, and its increasing isolation from the world.

    Meanwhile, Russia has given itself the right to continue to escalate this war without pause or consequences.
