I bet we see her again as we pass through this next phase of madness.

My 2 cents on comments--Let your paid subscribers cover the overhead so that all who subscribe at any level can comment. It increases the richness of the experience and the crowd wisdom. But there are occasional people out there trying to sell something, and I would block those. Some are bots.

Hahahaha, that was brilliant! On a serious note, my prayers are with the citizens of Russia and Ukraine both… they didn’t ask for any of this. Government elites everywhere are so blatantly corrupt they are going to kill us all with their BS 😡

That video is classic. Lovely. I would like to know if Putin has any arguments going for him. Don't know if you could dig out the truth of that?

Seems to me he certainly does: the lies about NATO and it's continual expansion etc. are on his side, for sure, I feel.

But is it truly a problem to have armed neighbours? They all freak out about it. China, USA (cuba thing?) and so on. But that's the leaders historic paranoia.

How real is it?

People now dying on the assumption it's real. So what's behind all this? Anonymous NATO policy makers pushing, pushing. And Putin following precisely their rationale and saying 'enough'. ?

I see that much. More depth and clarification from you if that's in your orbit would be good.

And then we have to move into looking at what Ukraine is. It's clearly not a monolithic entity: Ukraine. It's two countries in potential at least if not in fact. As I understand it. How true is that?

Failing all of the above simply factual reliable truths about the conflict would be good. 20,000 Russians dead said many reports. I doubt that very strongly. In some armies that's 20 divisions. More commonly say three. At the very least a whole division. Armies don't lose whole divisions like that. And this report isn't just 'lost', it said 'dead'. Deaths generally run at something like 10% and that's large. So we're looking at something like overall 200,000 killed and injured. Which would always be accompanied by thousands captured. Could take it up to a quarter of a million.

Total nonsense is my reaction. But I'm nothing but a layman. I'd like more facts.
