IMO, and all that, but the attack on the bridge to Crimea shows me that Zelensky, his Nazis, and the US/UK/EU/NATO war pigs will just continue to target civilians. And for no reasons except to prolong the war for campaign and profit motives, and because, again IMO, they just actually enjoy killing civilians.

Oh, sure. Anything to prolong the war. $$$$! Plus, Nazis are real good at death spirals that take a lot of other people with them in one final bloody blaze of glory for The Race, whichever one that may be.

Nazis gonna nazi.

The intention was never to go to nuclear,but to get Pooty Poot bogged down in a quagmire,from which Raytheon could make a mint.Mission accomplished.

Well, that's a fallback position for sure. The warmongers themselves salivated at the prospects of breaking Russia up in such publications as Foreign Affairs and The Atlantic. Short of that, weakening Russia will do.

The problem is that none of this IS weakening Russia, and I think a few of the pompous asses in Washington are starting to figure that out.

Eh. Russia has its own ugly problems with manufacturing ammo and has raided most of its stockpiles down to the bones, just to keep its troops in the field supplied today. Most RU logistics remain poorly managed and corrupt and within a year even the dumbest-stubborn "attrition war" campaign will become unsustainable; as field troops start declining to obey orders due to inadequate supply of basic needs. All Ukraine has to do is be less of a total shitshow than the RU army, which is not hard, and they'll eventually win back a lot of their territory.

You have zero evidence to support that assertion, other than Western propaganda outlets that haven't been right yet on the subject of Ukraine, but that doesn't mean you are flat-out wrong.

I'm sure Russia DOES have some problems. They always do. They also have a real good track record of winning on their own turf and, like it or not, Ukraine is part of that turf.

It ain't "their turf" anymore; or they would've had it all back already. Instead, the 90%-fascist UR Party regime decided to pursue a fascist war of expansion, cloaked in a fig leaf of "de-nazification"(or whatever the pretext is this week). Too bad they chose the region that used to provide the (multi-ethnic) Soviet Union with its toughest troops, whose descendants ain't eager to be ruled by unaccountable oligarchs in Moscow and St. Petersburg.

Like all right-wing regimes, United Russia's is a rotting edifice; which now has a grass fire licking at its base, that it set itself. Any Marxist can see that. That's more than just "problems" that can be wishcasted away.

Interesting, to see this scuttle out from under a rock. I suppose we are to be disheartened or something. Nah.

Evidently Zelensky, with help from the US and UK, used a grain shipping lane and a civilian ship to make a terrorist attack on a bridge that is now only used by civilians, and killed 2/3 of a family, so far - which I understand was celebrated in Ukraine - so now has put the grain AND civilian ships in danger. Can anyone tell me where the US has actually done anyone any good? Or not caused harm?

And...no answer to those questions, at least not any that can be found in this century. There's the rub. The US was opposed to any grain deal at all, and did everything it could short of open war with Russia to sabotage it. It succeeded.

Somehow, I don't think this will help the Empire's image in countries where people really need that grain, and people like the person to whom you responded will be puzzled that they support the evil dictator Putin.

I seem to recall your voluminous posts about how very very much you hate Trump - and those were not nearly as full of actual facts.

I hate imperialism, wars for profit, and the profiteers who grow rich off of them and always arrange for more. In turn, they hate me back.

It is an equitable arrangement with which I can live quite comfortably, but thank you for your concern.
