They Make a Desert ...

They rob, kill and plunder... and where they make a desert, they call it "peace". Tacitus

When Vladimir Putin ordered "peace makers" into the Russian-speaking Donbas region of Eastern Ukrainane, some may have expected a limited operation: to protect the Russian-speaking residents of the breakaway Ukrainian republics of Donetsk and Luhansk. But as now seems clear, Russia's objective in Ukraine is no less than occupation and assimilation of the entire country. 

But Ukraine don't rape easy. Russian forces have been held up for two weeks in attempting to subdue Ukraine's largest cities, Kyiv and Karkhiv, but thus far have little to show for their efforts but death and destruction, including many dead Russian fighters. Other towns and cities are also maintaining a  stiff and resistance. Mariupol, it seems, is in the process of being entirely destroyed to save it from occupying Ukrainian forces.

Will Russia fight and Ukraine defend until every urban area is reduced to rubble and the urban population has been decimated or put to flight? The people of Russia apparently have Putin's back. NATO, meanwhile, is pouring javelin anti-tank missiles and Stinger anti-aircraft missiles into Ukraine, thus ensuring continued Russian losses. Nothing, then, will likely end this war short of Ukrainian surrender or Russian victory. 

Given the peace terms Russia has offered -- Ukrainian neutrality, an end to the sniping and shelling of the independent Donbas republics, and recognition of Crimea as Russian territory -- Ukraine could without dishonor end the war now. But it won't because it is driven by the globalist imperative that requires the destruction of Russia, something that this war, plus the sanctions of NATO nations will go far toward achieving.

How Putin Is Gas-Lighting the West

 The Russians, God bless their paranoid souls, hate having NATO missiles moved up to their border, a development in breach of NATO's 1990 promise not to expand into Eastern Europe — a deal made during negotiations over German unification. 

So what to do?

Well, hey, why not move Russian forces on Russian territory, up to the border, not of NATO, but to NATO wannabe, ex-Russian Ukraine?

And it's worked like a charm. Biden, Bojo, and globalist suck-up, Justin Trudeau, are doing their tiny nuts:

    The Russians are on the move! 

    World War III is about to begin! 

    Lethal weapons for Ukraine are on their way!

To add to the tension, the pride of Britain's Comprehensive School System, Foreign Secretary Liz Truss, who doesn't know the different between the Black sea and the Baltic, informs Russia's foreign minister that Britain does not recognize Russian sovereignty over the Voronezh and Rostov, which are both indisputably part of Russian geography.

Perhaps she confused those Russian regions with the break-away, ethnically Russian, self-governing Ukrainian regions of Donetsk and Luhansk. But could she not have spared a little time from selecting a hat for her Red Square photo op to get at least somewhat briefed for her talk with the Russians?
