Why on Earth do we need to listen to Putin and the Kremlin. Republicans are special.

 

[MOUNTAINH33L]

Crazy times that we're living in.

According to Rep. Mark Green (Trumplican - TN), we’re supposed to listen to Putin and the Kremlin, but not to Medvedev?

Medvedev is a Putin lieutenant. He’s a Kremlin functionary. He says what Putin tells him to say.

Trump Downplays Prospect of New Sanctions on Russia​

The president says he will know in about two weeks if Putin is serious about ending the war with Ukraine​

—> https://www.wsj.com/world/trump-dow...aa?st=CfUkZb&reflink=mobilewebshare_permalink

“… “If I think I’m close to getting a deal, I don’t want to screw it up by doing that,” Trump said Wednesday of sanctions, which he has raised in recent days as Russia has waged aggressive attacks on Ukraine.

“We’re going to find out whether or not he’s tapping us along or not, and if he is, we’ll respond a little bit differently,” Trump told reporters in the Oval Office….”




——
“About two weeks” often means “never” as Trump has used the phrase in his political career.

Oh he's back to his two weeks shell game, LOL. Trump really doesn't understand that the entire world sees him as a giant pussy.

Kellogg has effectively confirmed that Russia has lost
nearly 1 million people in the war against Ukraine. In an interview, the Trump representative stated that total losses in the Russia-Ukraine war have already reached 1.2 million people, and this number exceeds
U.S. losses in World War II. According to Ukraine's General Staff, Russia has already lost approximately 982,840 killed and wounded. Kellogg's statement can be considered a direct confirmation of this figure at an official level from the United States. It's worth noting that U.S. losses in World War II are officially estimated at
418,000 people.

If you’re counting Russian dead AND wounded, the US WW2 totals are 407,316 dead and 671,278 wounded (no figure for Coast Guard wounded).

I'm guessing the number of Russian men between the ages of 20 and 30 would be in the 6 million range. But you'd be considered expendable if you're from outside the Moscow/ St. Petersburg areas.

He's been an interesting follow since this all began and it even appears he learned a lot of Ukrainian. He's the commander of the Chosen Company. His response in Ukrainian says that he and most of his subordinates are done with the Ukrainian Armed Forces. This comes a week or two after the commander of the 47th asked for his dismissal due to “imbecilic commands."

Did they finally go too far and get invited to mercenary in another war?

perhaps, but the 59th motorized has been brutalized and barely survived Avdiikva.

Ukrainian Army Structure Being Reformed - How and Why

Ukraine’s Armed Forces is creating a new command and control “corps” system, Kyiv Post examines how it will be organized and how it will differ from the previous set up.

www.kyivpost.com

“Well, and you understand, no one wanted a permanent superior above them – every brigade commander wanted to have his own kingdom… So, probably, this wasn’t going to happen soon,” one staff officer told Kyiv Post a year and a half ago. FROM LINK

There will be some breaking eggs to get the new corp system implemented.

There's been some sort of Russian breakthrough of the Ukrainian layered defense between Pokrovsk and Kostiantynivka. This is probably the most active sector of the front.

Usually when a breakthrough happens, Russia is unable to follow up because they are so bad at combined arms and logistics to exploit the break. And sometimes Ukraine counterattacks. So will have to keep an eye on to see if this turns out to be strategically significant.
