🇺🇦 #UKRAINE 🇺🇦


Ukraine Gov LIED when the said "Russian forces fired at residential areas of Kharkov."

www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2022-02-28/dozens-killed-in-rocket-strikes-on-ukrainian-city-of-kharkiv-says-ukrainian-official

Video 1 shows "Garages" being targeted, not high-Rise residences.

Video 2: same scene, different angle.

Video 3: posted by a Ukr Nat supporter. It cannot be seen exactly what was targeted, BUT we are clearly meant to presume the High-rise residences were targeted.

"Rocket Strikes Kill 11 in Ukrainian City of Kharkiv, Says Regional Official

At least 11 people were killed on Monday (Feb. 28) in rocket strikes on residential districts of the Ukrainian city of Kharkiv according to Ukraine Gov sources.
"

Ukr Gov is not being 100% truthful when they claim "residential areas were targeted."

Therefore the claim that "civilians were deliberately targeted" should not be taken at face value.

WAR CRIMES

Ukrainian Army artillery has been targeting civilians today in the Donetsk area of Donbass South East Ukraine.

The DNR ( Russian-Speaking Independant Republic, Ex-Ukraine) claims it was deliberately aimed at residential areas.

OSCE observer reports demonstrate that the Ukraine army has been regularly targeting Russian-speaking civilians in Donbass with artillery fire, on an almost daily basis for most of the past 8 years.

Some seriously slick almost-heart-string-tugging propaganda being produced by the Ukrainian side.
🇸🇰 SLOVAKIA 🇸🇰

The "Free" Countries of "Democratic" Europe!

"For public support of Russia's actions, you may face up to 25 years in prison."

Slovakia introduces potential 25 year prison sentence for public support of Russia's actions, expressed online or in any other space

Situation Map, 2nd of March 2022

This is how the map of battles in Ukraine over the past day looks like


Blue-shaded area in Donbass South East Ukraine is estimated position of large Ukr Army/Azov/RightSektor forces.

Potential "Cauldron" forming in that area. Deadly for the forces of Ukraine if caught in that pocket.

If caught, may be given option to surrender, but would they take it?
So, I hear that all the TV&Radio Bobbleheads agree that "Russia is in isolation" and now too do their bobbleheaded audiences, due to them incapable of critical thought...,

But is that really true?

Here's a list of countries that have already refused to agree to sanctions against Russia.

Several others are hesitating.......

🔹 Moscow partners in the BRICS group (Brazil, India, China, South Africa). 41% of the world population between them all.

🔹 The countries of OSC (Belarus, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Armenia, Kyrgyzstan).

🔹 Azerbaijan and Moldova have abandoned anti-Russian restrictions. But the most surprising thing is Georgia's position.

🔹 Latin America (Mexico, Argentina, Venezuela, Guatemala, Colombia, Cuba, Nicaragua, Chile).

🔹 The Middle East (Syria, Egypt, Turkey, Iraq, Iran)

🔹 The Balkans (Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina).

🔹 Hungary, yet a member of the European Union.
China-Russia are destroying the hegemonic Dollar System

In 2015 90% of their bilateral transactions were conducted in dollars.

By Q1 2020 46% of their bilateral transactions were conducted in dollars.

De-dollarization results in a Defacto Alliance.

They've been doing this since 2014.

This is a case of WHEN not IF.
Putin didn’t just invade the Ukraine on 2/24/2022, he officially ended the #petrodollar system.

How?

Remember, Russians don’t do anything without a plan. They and China have been prepping for this moment for years and are now ready


Russia has stated NATO expansion into Ukraine was a red line.

They knew their invasion of Ukraine would be inevitable and would have strategized that the US/West’s response would be SWIFT $ system exclusions/sanctions, sanctions which started today.

For years Russia & China have looked for ways to re-monetize gold & exit abuses of SWIFT system as a geo-political tool against them, but how to do it, how to exit, without West declaring it an act of aggression or war against West?

Well, this Ukraine invasion just accomplished that end for them.

And the West is doing it themselves.

Now, freed to declare themselves SWIFT system outcasts by the western govt hands, Russia can now say “we will turn oil pipelines back on, but not for dollars.”

Russia then declares that Europe or anyone that wants Russian oil (as 3rd largest global producer) or Russian/Ukrainian wheat (1/4 of worlds production) must pay in gold, or use the ruble-yuan gold backed payment system.

Total Ukr Gov Forces in Donbass region is estimated to be as high as 45,000 (10-12 Brigades)

Ukr Gov forces risk complete annihilation if surrounded/"cauldroned"/"Kettled" based on results of 2014/15 conflict.

Russia Today ( RT) reports from the Donbass region in South East Ukraine

Most in the west have no awareness of the bombing of Donetsk and Luhansk for the last 8 years.

Reports like the one above from RT are why all western Govts want to ban RT from all broadcast systems and internet video platforms.

If accurate then the Ukr Army in Donbass is in serious trouble and retreating fast.

Map of the situation in the Donbass, according to the most recent information received by @CIG_telegram - evening of 02.03.2022

🟥 Russian
🟦 Ukrainian
DPR
🟪 LPR

1. The Russians have moved in the direction of #Izyum and are expected to take the strategic town on the road to #Slavyansk.

2. The #Lugansk militia has enveloped the Ukrainians at #Severodonetsk, and crossed into the Donetsk province to establish positions near Slavyansk.

3. The Ukrainians intend to withdraw from all current positions in the #Donbass to avoid being surrounded. Trying hard to avoid a Cauldron

4. The largest engagement in the Donbass so far: a battle has raged between the Donetsk militia and the Ukrainians at #Volnovakha for multiple days.

5. #Mariupol is fully surrounded. According the Russian MoD, the Donetsk militia crossed the border deep into the Zaporozhya province to link up with Russian forces securing the Azov coastline.

If you can't immediately name both of these guys, any opinion or "Hot Take" you might have on the situation in Ukraine is completely invalid.
