ruSSian Nazi murderers and war criminals have hit strategically highly important target in Kharkiv - a hobby market!, with more than 200 people inside, killing at least two. I call upon president Biden and other leaders of NATO countries to lift the ban on striking ruSSian territory with western weapons!

It's not enough to provide Ukraine air defense to try to stop missiles and drones, or tools to destroy occupied airfields on Ukrainian territory. The kremlin terrorists fly from further out to drop glide bombs on civilians until Ukraine can truly fight back and drop those bombers while they're still above russian territory.

Cope harder Pooty. Pull your head out.
The war ends when you run your sorry ass back to Moscow with your tail between your legs.

But this seems like a good sign, it appears he’s looking for a way out.

> The system also opens the possibility of using them to ambush Russian aircraft as they take-off or land on Crimean air bases. The USVs can sit off the Crimean coast and pick off the aircraft as they approach unawares. There is at least circumstantial evidence to suggest that this may have already been done.

Threatening Russia’s control of Crimea—and inflicting grave damage to its economy and society—will, of course, be difficult. But it is a more realistic strategy than the proposed alternative: a negotiated settlement while Putin is in office.

Putin has never agreed to respect Ukrainian sovereignty—and never will. If anything, Russia’s rhetoric about the war has become more annihilationist, invoking the Russian Orthodox Church and suggesting that the conflict is something like a holy war, with existential consequences.

Any negotiation in the current circumstances would at best leave Ukraine crippled, partitioned, and at the mercy of a second Russian invasion. At worst, it would eliminate the country altogether.

No sustainable, long-term peace can emerge from negotiations with an aggressor that has genocidal intent.

Ukraine and the West must either win or face devastating consequences.
(EXACTLY!)

ENDGAME FIRST

The fact that Ukraine and its partners lack a strategy for victory, three years into the war, is a serious problem.

Without an end in mind, leaders in Kyiv, Washington, and Brussels are making key decisions on an incremental and ultimately incoherent basis. Ukraine may achieve local successes, but not a comprehensive defeat of the enemy; for their part, Kyiv’s Western partners tend to think only about the next tranche of supplies.

And without a strategic picture, it will be difficult to sustain morale and the will to fight in Ukraine and beyond.

Good comment on by Timothy Snyder:

”This isn’t 1939, this is 1938 but Czechoslovakia has chosen to fight.” …

”In that world where Czechoslovakia resists, there is no second world war.” ..

”There would have been a conflict, but there would not have been a second world war.”

We are in 1938, and we can prevent World War Two by helping Ukraine win!

This was always the plan of the Russian orcs. It has ZERO to do with their lies about NATO. #CloseTheSkies #SlavaUkraini

I certainly have had enough of some people claiming that we must cower to Putin, because he has nuclear weapons. And I am glad to see, I am not alone.

In a debate show on Danish national tv, foreign editor of Danish newspaper Weekendavisen, Anna Libak replied to yet another “But Putin’s has nuclear weapons!” by saying, “If Hitler had nuclear weapons, would we have given him France?”

Bingo! Of course we would not. And neither should Putin have Ukraine.

Additional info - incident took place 3.45 km from target zone. This time potential has realized in a good one.Target information, time marker, codes, key words etc - in a previous posts. We will try to do our best in making these attacks more potent and accurate in the future. People in a tyranny never sleep peacefully.
