It sure is taking longer than I thought. I figured it would be over by summer. It's difficult to tell what the real age-demographic situation is in Ukraine. Guess they've still got some fighting to do! It's a balancing act, letting Russia take the dremel to them to shape the post-war configuration that Ukraine is going to fall into, but not letting them advance too far west so it becomes too difficult to defend mineral extraction once the lines settle:
See how Russia's already starting to move in on the southern extent of that sweet sweet iron and rare earth stash? Plus, there's good farmland there! Yet, if we don't keep letting them hammer some more, Ukraine might still have enough spunk to unify and prevent us from grabbing it after the war's over. The idea is to grind enough of their adult male population away to only leave the violent, disillusioned youth, who can easily be manipulated into a civil war after Russia has been appeased. That will pretty much give the US and European interests carte blanche to carve up what remains, economically.

Oh, I forgot, there is also the little kimono-lifting game of testing Russia's drone and counter-drone technologies, and, by proxy, China and Iran's too. Has the point of diminishing return has been reached there yet?

Yeah, well
Not sure I care what a western (US) media outlet says about RT
I think there is a conspiracy in the West hiding many truths, to long to list and the media are controlled
Anyway, seems like msm has latched on to the story and are pushing it, ho hum, not that I would trust any western source over RT

That "Media Bias Fact Check" site looks good on the surface, but I found this:
https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/interacti...the-world/
How come Canada and Sweden get "Excellent Freedom" but the USA only gets "Mostly Free"???
Upon due consideration, I can only assume it is because "Media Bias Fact Check" are a bunch of Socialist Commies.
So take it with a grain of salt.

According to RT
https://www.rt.com/russia/
yet to be seen but, if Zelenskyy and Putin could hammer out a deal
would be a nice though
“Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky has called for a ceasefire with Russia along the current front lines. He made the comment after US President Donald Trump issued a similar appeal on social media.”
“Moscow has said that for a ceasefire to work, Ukraine must withdraw from the parts of Russian regions that it controls, and the West must end military aid to Kiev. Putin has also demanded that Ukraine recognize Russia’s new borders and abandon its plans to join NATO.
Guess it will clear the way for an action in Venezuela”
I prefer to listen to Colonel Macgregor who says that he has foreign contacts involved in this war, which feed him information.
You put the Venezuela scenario 'out there' which shows the many complexities or foreign tentacles of the players of this war. I still think we need to follow the money or where the money can be made.

RT is well-known for misinformational posts and stories since before a Trump Presidency
Ground News at least tries to show all angles and who is who
His mind was not for rent to any god or government
Always hopeful yet discontent, knows changes aren't permanent
But change is

RT was laughed at as a source over at ATS.
Laughed at by posters AND by moderators AND by the site owners.
