Current Affairs Ukraine

No the schoolboys in the playground have me down as in the pay of the Kremlin. This will end badly but the usual suspects will still be liking Twitter footage of strikes on tanks etc as the mushroom cloud spreads West.

None of it need happen….

Damned if you do,damned if you don't.? Apparently someone is going to repost my support of Putin content...?

I bet you can't wait

Comrade @bluestevon can you condemn these Russian attacks?

 

[LinekersLegs]

Not at all, but it's laughable to think todays attacks where anything but a very coordinated and precise strike on very specific targets. I doubt a piece of grass in an empty park was on the list between headquarters of the SBU in Kiev and the thermal power plant in Lvov.

Deliberately targeting the German consulate?

 

[Spadge Vernacular]

I'd call Putin a rat but it would be insulting to rats.

Let's see how the Germans react. Perhaps Leopard tanks being entered into the fray.

that red brick structure behind her is the university. Another precision strike by Russia @bluestevon ?

Correction - it appears to be their visa office rather than the embassy itself


Still doesn’t appear to critical military infrastructure and a pretty stupid choice diplomatically,

Those pesky Russian bots.

In potentially better news, apparently there is a new Turkish proposal to restart negotiations. I'd have thought everyone would support that.

No, Zelenskyy has played the Western media incredibly well. Ukraine would have to make territorial concessions to end this short of driving the Russians out entirely. What Zelenskyy has done is make that a non-starter for Western governments, who would be confronted with outrage from the governed if they lined up behind anything short of Russia's explusion from de jure Ukrainian territory.

That, in turn, got him maximum aid from the West with respect to prosecuting the war. The question is whether it will turn into a trap where the situation on the ground stalemates and Zelenskyy is unable to negotiate his way out of that mess. In fairness, I would suggest that while it might cost him power in such a scenario, he would probably say, "Worth."
