I wonder how long it is going to take for the Russian military to finally get tired of this incompetent political leadership and finally turn on their master(s).
I would bet you see more of a passive-aggressive approach, so as to not draw the attention/ire/weaponry of their superiors.

Great. Authoritative conspiracy nuts stirring up a big batch of Nofuckinshit for us. So what? Why is this a problem, and why publicize it? Who benefits from this knowledge?
I also read and saw videos of an English guy who went to Ukraine and said it was like a movie set, and an American soldier I guess trying to be a mercenary or something and he went there and he was like scared out of his mind because he said that they were being used as cannon fodder and then they were being counted as Ukrainian deaths and he was like get me the hell out of this place he didn't think things were legit either.

Yves here. John Helmer makes a bombshell revelation in his latest post, that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky participated in an in-person summit on March 15, not as widely touted in Ukraine, but in Poland. It is virtually certain that given the difficulty of assuring safe passage that Zelensky has not returned to Kiev.
This allegation matters because it vitiates the effort to depict Zelensky as the second coming of Winston Churchill, heroically holed up in his capital as bombs are falling. Zelensky staying, or appearing to stay, in Kiev, is also a rallying point for the sure-to-lose-but-still fighting Ukrainian army and the civilians who still unrealistically hope that Ukraine can win on the battlefield.
Admittedly, Helmer relies significantly on the debunking of visual evidenceâ¦.which has not proven difficult to do with a lot of Ukrainian propaganda. Helmer was a master well before the wor, having made the downing of MH-17 a pet project (he not only finely parsed photographs, but made careful readings of inconsistent and shifting claims of experts and prosecutors).
One might point out that showing that the official visual narrative of the meeting is faked does not necessarily prove that Zelensky was not in Kiev. Helmer presents other evidence that supports his contention, including reports from sources in Poland. What I found was compelling was that it was utterly implausible that the Polish, Czech, and Slovenian leaders made a long, overland trek to Kiev, as official accounts claimed. That would be disastrously risky in the absences of Russian assurances of safe passage, which were never made. That then begs the question of what actually happened.

This news I heard regarding Taiwan is coming from a whistleblower who just stepped forward. No link for this. Just heard in passing. A high likely hood of being correct. No reason to discount it. No reason to ignore it either. Time will tell. Me, I have long been thinking that Xi would invade right after our November elections. That would be the optimum time imo, or was until Putin went and invaded Ukraine and the subsequent reactions.
An interesting perspective. Took awhile to get through and I will likely reread it for further digestion. Interesting to call NATO's expansion an act of imperialism. Hard for me to call voluntary geopolitical reorganizing a form of imperialism. That would in kind make the UN an imperialistic organization, no ? Another fallout from Ukraine is the apparent revelation that Xi has evidently put off his planned invasion of Taiwan for this fall as a result of all the international economic fussing going on and its potential implications for China should he do the deed. Putin may be screwing Ukraine, but he has temporarily saved Taiwan, for now.
If you have hard intel about China's plans you should forward it to the Pentagon immediately! Your sources are obviously far more advanced than theirs, which is only to be expected— they're probably behind on their cable bill.
