Unfair, they gave Jesus 9 months to comeback and a peace deal just 7 days? But the anti Christ wanted Ukraine in 3 days, now well into his 4th year and still "winning" as Russia's economy continues to die. Removing Putin would help everyone including Russians.

NEW: As Ukraine steps up attacks on Russian military and energy infrastructure, Putin strives for mass civilian casualties. One of several new attacks on civilians and children:

Back to the threads subject, Putin dooms Russia's economy. We are now seeing massive hits on Russian energy and military infrastructure. "It was all destroyed", instead of "some damage", Today's knocked out was 1.7 million barrels/day.

A good reminder to pro Putin laughing all way posters what despot Putin is really about. He greatly upped his civilian kill while saying he wanted peace. Latest of many examples:

Where I heard it first? Moscow, 1966, when I toured a massive Russian propaganda factory. 90% of their product was in English for export for you to read. That began a lifelong close relation with Russia and its people. Haven't been confused since. 💂‍♂️

Textbook Russian propaganda—top to bottom deflection from their illegal grab, militarization, and reckless endangerment of Europe’s biggest nuclear plant. Ukraine shelling it? Sure, and they blew up their own dam too, right? Meanwhile, the IAEA’s just thrilled with the chaos.

Poof! And there it is. No facts, no refs, zero effort, and not a care. Deep Russian what-about-ism propaganda. Never mind Putin's passion for assassination by radioactive polonium and nerve agents so toxic they are completely banded, it's the CIA. Did you know that weaponization of what-about-ism was a Soviet (read Russia) cold war development?

Corroborative, Putin's claim is sufficient disproof. "We are not going to invade Ukraine!. Plus 150+ years of Russian state propaganda, yes even the tzars.

'Even' Putin? Putin is the mother geyser of Russian disinformation. Considering the current critical symbolic importance of Kursk. I wouldn't trust either side, especially Putin. A good source is ISW's daily Russian Offensive Campaign Assessment based on open source intel, including Russian. Here is what they say about 'encirclement'. March 14 ISW has observed no geolocated evidence to indicate that Russian forces have encircled a significant number of Ukrainian forces in Kursk Oblast or elsewhere along the frontline in Ukraine. Putin seized on a statement by US President Donald Trump about the supposed encirclement of Ukrainian forces in Kursk Oblast to distract from his recent rejection of the US-Ukrainian ceasefire proposal. Kremlin statements following Putin's meeting with US Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff on March 13 underscore Putin's rejection of the US-Ukrainian ceasefire proposal and continued unwillingness to engage in good-faith negotiations to end the war in Ukraine March 15 Russian milbloggers and Ukrainian officials continue to deny Russian President Vladimir Putin's unsubstantiated claim that Russian forces have encircled a significant number of Ukrainian troops in Kursk Oblast. Russian milbloggers published maps on March 14 and 15 showing Russian and Ukrainian positions in Kursk Oblast that do not indicate Russian forces have encircled Ukrainian forces, and two Russian milbloggers explicitly denied Putin's claim that Russian forces encircled a significant number of Ukrainian forces in the area on March 13 and 14. No picture, didn't happen. https://understandingwar.org/publications

You see only what you want to see. That's not science. They said that lab leak was their #1 choice, the most likely cause, but the confidence level was low. "Give me the apple pie, but my mom's was better". Question, what did he eat?

Things that are predicable:

From Lithuanian defense minister on Lithuania Independence Restoration Day (yes, those Russians again):

Now send the defensive weapons.
