The abortive Ukie counteroffensive was suicidal and with Russia suddenly improving its airstrikes did a lot to polish up Putin and the boys after the embarrassing Prigozhin affair. What a stroke of good luck for the Kremlin when they desperately needed a makeover.

It seems it is intended to be a long drawn out affair.

This is so sad....because of all the people who died, and who fight for their families and homes. It make me angy - because the same things happened here in Croatia in our war - brave and honest people died, or become sick because politicans use them for their interests....And this situation make me also so sad --- now only I can say is R.I.P. Morozov, R.I.P. all of you heroes

p.s. which links would you most like me/us/anyone to share?

edit; like p.p.s - how about pick one? Every time I comment in a thread wherever it is I will drop that link at least if nothing else. Which one do you want it to be?

Like just now I'm looking at Vladimir Brovkin

Sorry I've just re-read my first reply, I have put a grammatical error in the sentence.

Il re-type:

You could post this one or Rolos' pinned article. The piece called 'Welcome to the Slavlands'.

Ok. Good Idea. I can, of course, post many , any. I already posted a link to this one at his suggestion. Tomorrow I'll get onto that one. :)

I put this up and shared it to my FB and shared the FB post to my feed. It's a tiny bit of a start.

No no, Rolo did a piece that is a collection of key info, that is pinned to his page, on his account, on substack.

Anal - Satanists is a joke about how the East, Russia and mainly Putin bring up a point that they are apparently more moral than the West is, in that the West promots homos and are apparently satanic.

This could be affecting decision-making:

Hi Rurik,

I would like to point out that building a factory takes 1 or 2 years and that starting production requires training of workers. Thus if it is true that Rheinmetall plans to start producing weaponry and ammunition this year, it means that they have already received the machine-tools and the production lines. What is left is erecting the walls or buying a large building and the installation of the equipment.

So either this announcement makes public something that was planned 12-18 months ago; or the factory was to be built in Germany but politics prompted the move to Ukraine.

Thank you for the continuing good work.

I thought you were revealing truth to me. Then I thought you were a nut, right over the top. Now I think (perhaps) you are revealing truth to me.

What I will do it pass your links on as well as I can.

This oligarch v oligarch thing seems very real to me. But the ramifications of it are not, I think, clear cut. We can't just condemn Putin on those grounds. It could even be considered an excuse for him: it is the environment within which he has to operate.

Or you think there is another environment within which he can stand and from which he can clobber the oligarchs?

Anyway. Your issues, your 'evidentiary' links certainly need, deserve, are entitled to wide dissemination so yep, I'll do what I can. (which ain't much).
