BOMBSHELL?? Russia and Ukraine had a signed peace deal!? Putin claims to have signed receipts.
It's not a bombshell, its bull *****
The russian propagandists have a series a narrative alterations they are attempting with this fabrication.
1. The russian military didnt fail in the opening days of the war (they did, but it was a lot closer than people think)
2. Russia wants peace, which is ridiculous because if they want peace they can withdraw at any point. Russia actually only wants peace if it means Ukrainian subjugation.
3. The Ukrainians are pawns of the west and dont control their own destiny. Again this is ridiculous.
4. Makes Zelensky seem untrustworthy, and a bad faith actor. As if he is the villain when a foreign country declares your country as having no right to exist and then invading.
For the record the most uniformed people about the war are the ones following the war via twitter.
I'm working today and not juneteenthing (got a business to run) so I won't address these points in detail, but your basic understanding of this war and the geopolitics undergirding it is fairly limited, like much of the people who are driven by the prevailing "Star Wars"-like MSM narrative.
But I'll just say that the events as they have unfolded the last year plus fully support our non-conformist interpretation of the conflict. Almost everything that Macgregor, Swiss colonel Baud, ex Intel officers Larry Johnson and Ray McGovern which the realist faction of BI has relayed here turned out to be true.
No your understanding of this war and the geopolitics surrounding is fairly useless, and I don't have time to dive into how everything you have said about the war to date has pretty much been dead wrong, and how you are actually the one that is completely unrealistic and horribly misinformed on the subject.
After all, you have said:
1. The war would be over in a month.
2. The Russians were Nebraska in the 90's and were grinding their way to victory.
3. The initial thunder run on Kyiv was 'the great deception.
4. The initial thunder run on Kyiv was 'a show of force' to push Ukraine to the negotiation table (notice how the same event has now had the narrative changed three times).
5. The Russians were trading land for time with their withdrawals.
6. Al-Jazeera is a pro-western media outlet.
7. Ukraine destroyed the Nova Khakova dam.
Its just really sad when someone refuses to leave their bubble of information and evaluate information from additional sources and third party perspectives. If you did that you might have a more accurate understanding of the war and how Russia is destroying themselves in an attempt to subjugate a foreign country.
My bubble of information is populated by people like Mearsheimer, Jeffrey Sachs, Chomsky and co, not the peddlers of MIC-sponsored feel-good storyboarding factory that you've been exposed to.
-It is Nebraska vs Kansas, it's a war of attrition between two highly unequal parties, and Kansas is already on its third string. Ukraine has lost 300,000 KIAs and about the same wounded or MIA. At this rate, Ukraine's military is going to collapse within 6 to 12 months. The rate has been slower than expected due to Surovikin's conservative approach of limiting Russian casualties.
-The Russians did trade land for time on their withdrawals, they were highly overstretched with less than 200,000 soldiers manning a LOC about 2,000km long. Since then, they've nearly halved the LOC, fortified it and boosted their numbers.
-AlJazeera is a western-aligned media outlet, it is based in Qatar, which is essentially a US protectorate, an emirate with a tiny population and the home of the headquarters of United States Central Command (USCC) and United State Air Force Central Command (USAFCC).
From your perspective AlJazeera is some anti-American Arab network and there is no difference between them and say, Press TV, Iran's main news outlet. AlJazeeras reports on say Syria or Ukraine are aligned with those of the BBC or US networks.
-Ukraine did destroy the dam.
They bombed its rim this Summer, using HIMARS, plenty of evidence for that
, and they had every motivation to do it again.
