| Direct Translation via Google Translate.. Edited. Text and video taken from the V Kontakte page of Armed Forces of Novorossiya (VSN) Former US Army Colonel and former Chief of Staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell Lawrence Wilkerson on a likely large-scale Russian offensive: They [the Ukrainians] are committing suicide on these Russian defense fortifications. And let's see what will happen in the future if Russia bleeds Ukraine so successfully. And there is every chance that this will happen. Then we will “invite” Russia to attack, and she will be able to take significant parts of Ukraine that it never claimed, that it doesn’t want, didn’t want initially. We should have come to the negotiating table weeks ago for a diplomatic solution. I just hope it's not too late. I hope that we haven't passed the point that I just talked about, where Russia will have a new incentive to take a completely new position in this conflict and say: screw this US election, screw it all, we don't care, we We will take as many territories as we can. And then we will present it to you as a fait accompli. I believe that this is where we are heading. This is how a military conflict develops. This is not what we wanted to get. We don't want an effective Russian crushing force in the heart of Europe. |

| #2 If they have to call up their 40-70 year olds to take Ukraine, who will be left to conquer anyone else? |

| #1 We don't want an effective Russian crushing force in the heart of Europe. Criminals, drunks, retirees, mercenaries, godless heathens...they'll fit right in. |
