And this is what ? Scotch mist ?

 

Where do these strange media items come from saying that Putin wants all of Ukraine? They might have had some veracity at the start, but after two years and barely taking the east, it's IMO a nonsense to say that the plan is to take it all. It's just not logistically possible to do so, IMO.

 

I suspect the western propaganda mill is at work.

 

You actually might find it interesting since it mostly agrees with your viewpoint.

If it agrees with my opinions It's hardly at fault itself, is it?

 

I was speaking in general, not specifically. I'm sure you are aware that this is an opinion forum populated by old people ( like myself ) that don't always post according to your druthers.

Jai yen, jai yen. Have a nice cuppa and a biscuit and chill.

 

I wasn't aware that you were pedantic, but I might have to change my mind on that.

Expect the cheery posts about Russia losing to dry up when Russia wins ( when Trump stops it and Russia gets to keep what it has ).

Trump's plan is not peace, but a truce with the aim of rearming Ukraine for a more successful war. Some Media resources might not tell you that directly because they are involved into informational component of the war. There is no such thing as "Russia gets to keep what it has". Because if Ukraine has at least a single square centimeter of land, modern US weapons will be delivered there and shelling of Russian territory will be conducted from there.

I wasn't aware that Trump confides with a member of AN.

This appears to have been a very well organised attack, firstly to know exactly when the train would be passing, then to arrange ground operatives to place explosives on the track, stopping the train, and thirdly following it up with HIMARS and Switchblade drone attacks to totally destroy it.  Not only is the fuel it carried no longer available for Russian use, but it will take some time to clear and repair the tracks, especially if repair crews also come under attack.  The video discusses the possibility that those who placed the ground explosives were partisan fighters, rather than Ukrainian soldiers.  If so, then there appears to be a well organised resistance on the ground in Russian occupied territory, in communication with Ukrainian intelligence and supplied by drone drops.
