'It's going to get worse': If Russia resorts to siege tactics, the Ukraine war could take a horrible turn
[Yahoo News via the KOS] "If Russia resorts to siege tactics, the Ukraine war could take a horrible turn"

WASHINGTON — Russian President Vladimir Putin's military forces seem poised to adopt siege tactics that could result in enormous civilian deaths and infrastructure damage after their initial assault has failed to topple the Ukrainian government, officials and experts say.

Putin and his military commanders have been caught off guard by the ferocious resistance of Ukrainian troops and ordinary citizens. His main assault force for the capital of Kyiv remains bogged down about 15 miles from the city, harassed by Ukrainian attacks and hobbled by a lack of fuel for combat vehicles and food for the Russian soldiers, a senior Defense Department official said Wednesday, speaking on condition of anonymity to describe intelligence findings.

Putin went to war with a "deeply flawed" plan for a swift operation to decapitate the Ukrainian government and install a puppet regime, said Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., a member of the Armed Services Committee. The strategy rested on the assumption that Ukrainian soldiers and citizens would acquiesce without a fight.

"He has gravely miscalculated the courage and resilience of the Ukrainian people," said Blumenthal, who visited Ukraine shortly before the Russian invasion and has been briefed on the war by the Pentagon. "These people were never going to welcome Putin as a liberator, nor would they accept Russian rule modeled on the Soviet example. They’ve gotten used to freedom, and they love it.""

That's what you call your own internal critics. CIA Director Bill Burns? "Troll." U Chicago scholar and world's authority on international relations John Mearsheimer? "Troll!" Kissinger, Albright, George Kennan, Robert Gates are all "trolls."

Keep smoking that crack, little ones. Whatever flatters your illusions and makes you feel better, dudes.

Meanwhile Russian troops have rolled over the south and east, and China is now stepping up and announcing they will help broker a cease-fire:

#8  Wealth management experts just now to HNW investors: Russia can easily manage to hold out against nuclear sanctions for decades, as a "siege" economy, like Iran.

They could have added that every Russian over 35 remembers enduring FAR worse hardship - not coincidentally, during the 1990s.

There's literally nothing the US can do to Russia that compares to the decade-long nightmare of economic devastation and social ruin that the Russian people endured between 1991 and 1999.

They kneecapped American industry in such a fashion as to make Putin a billion dollars a day and they pretend they're the Anti-Putin resistance.

Yep, Trolls.

At least the St. Petersburg Trolls, however misguided, are trolling for what they think are their own side.

China Says Ukraine Foreign Minister Sought Help to Negotiate Cease-Fire With Russia
By Liyan Qi

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba urged his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi to help mediate a cease-fire with Russia during a phone call Tuesday, according to the Chinese Foreign Ministry’s website.

Mr. Wang said China supported a negotiated solution to the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, and “supports all constructive international efforts that are conducive to a political solution,” according to the ministry.

During the phone call, Mr. Wang reiterated Beijing’s stance in respecting the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries.

Mr. Wang expressed dismay at the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, saying China is “extremely concerned about harm to civilians,” according to the statement.

Beijing signed a statement of solidarity with Russian President Vladimir Putin early last month, but has also tried to keep some distance from Moscow after it launched its assault on Ukraine, while accusing the U.S. of inflaming tensions. Chinese leader Xi Jinping on Friday said he supported negotiations between Russia and Ukraine.

#15  So now, because US policy makers ignored their own experts and poured high octane gasoline all over Ukraine, China is stepping into the role of nature and responsible global leader who reduces tensions.

As opposed to creating chaos, war and devastation in every volatile situation it touches.

How fucking embarrassing. China, now the lone adult in the room.

One says to the other "What is this line for?"

"Toilet paper" his friend replies.

"I'm SICK of these endless lines just to get the basic needs of life! ", he says. "I'm going to go kill Putin."

He leaves, but comes back within a couple of hours. His friend is still standing in line for toilet paper. "Why are you back?", he asks. "Did you kill Putin?"

"No", the man replies, "The line for that was longer than this one!"

#18  China with clueless Biden's help will drag out the finalization of the cease fire long enough for Russia to capture Mariupol and draw the noise even more tightly around Kiev and Kharkov.

Then we're back to Minsk II. Only now, instead of Ukraine having an intact country and an American protector, they've lost all the southern and eastern territories, their dam that prevented water for Crimea has been destroyed, and half their country is wrecked. And thousands of their people have been killed.

With China as the new global leader, the only mature, adult rational great power left.

I seriously cannot believe America is trying for this outcome. Americans have been played for fools. Yet again.

#23  Ukraine previously asked Israel to help to intercede with Russia and facilitate negotiations. But as we see in the other post, Russia’s position is fixed, not open to negotiation — Ukraine asking China to help isn’t going to change anything. Separately, China expects to be the sole hegemon standing at the end, with all including America and Russia prostrate at her feet.

The menacing 40-mile-long Russian military vehicle convoy bearing down on Kyiv appears to have stalled
[INSIDER] A large 40-mile-long convoy of Russian military vehicles appears to have stalled on its way to Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine and a key objective as more and more Russian forces move into the country to support Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion.

Russia's invasion of Ukraine has suffered a number of setbacks, and the Russian advance has slowed in the face of not only substantial Ukrainian resistance but also logistics and supply problems.

Some invading Russian forces are "literally out of gas" and are "having problems feeding their troops," according to a senior US defense official who briefed reporters on Tuesday.
They have not foking 'stalled.' They are the BAIT! There could be no other military or tactical reason for parking a convoy bumper to bumper, hub to hub. Putin has his air force and nuclear forces standing by, awaiting a NATO response. For the love of Gawd, DO NOT TAKE THE BAIT !

#2  /\ Yes, you've nailed it. All of the above.

Neoconservatives and the MIC (one in the same) are restless and impatient to get involved in yet another war. You did see the Ukrainian lapel pins, flags, and pocket squares in the State of the Union ?

Meanwhile, we continue to support Putin's expansionism by purchasing his crude oil. Global war, the perfect pretext for globalism. NATO needs a booster shot. Xi needs validation. COVID is waning. Fauci is gone from the media. A new, even larger crisis must soon unfold.

The Super Yamato class battleships of WWII were built with US steel. Japan had no steel. With the exception of petro-dollars, Putin is broke. You decide what is taking place here.

China has firmly believed for 20+ years that they will inevitably defeat America in the coming shooting war.

"...the Supreme Leaders Office EO was not at all related to Iran’s nuclear program, and the removal of these sanctions under a so-called nuclear deal is a ridiculous farce. The State Department’s lawyers know better but were forced into this by Malley..."

But wait! There's MORE:

13.There’s much more: sanctions will be lifted on huge swaths of the regime’s economic and financial arms (close to 40 major entities) that support the Iranian terror, repression, and WMD infrastructure and were sanctioned under those legal authorities.

Due to illness, the Democrats are actually a minority in the Senate at the moment, so it getting the thing signed isn’t nearly as meaningful as it appears.

Pillars of Russia’s Disinformation and
Propaganda Ecosystem





Quoting the USA State Dept.
(see: pages 31 thru 36 of 77)

"News Front is a Crimea-based disinformation and propaganda outlet with the self-proclaimed goal of providing an “alternative source of information”
for Western audiences. With reported ties to the Russian security services and Kremlin funding,it is particularly focused on supporting Russia-
backed forces in Ukraine. News Front’s manipulative tactics to boost reach led to a near total dismantling of its presence on social media in early 2020.

#4  Check this out ... now we know why Ol' Man Biden confused IRANIANS and Ukrainians.

Turns out that right now our "negotiators" are begging Russia to send weapons to Iran to induce them to sign the new JCPOA. Dissidents inside the US State Department report that Russia's diplomat is driving the deal terms, telling our diplomats what to do - and they're bending over and complying.

@MPPregent:
While Putin's invasion of Ukraine is on every mind, the Biden team is courting Putin to make a deal with Iran while no one is looking.
A deal that will give Iran a bomb by 2024 and gives Iran sanctions relief now that frees up oil for cash to pay Putin for weapons & Syria.

[NewsFrontInfo] 23:41 Russia is not gathering any additional troops to involve them in the operation in Ukraine - Pentagon

23:03 The Russian Aerospace Forces resumed strikes against the objects of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, National Battalions and Terodefense in Kharkov.

23:01 Mariupol is still booming with episodes. So there are battles for the city. Azov just won’t leave, they have nowhere to go.

22:58 The delivery of humanitarian aid to the territory of Ukraine from the Belgorod region has begun.

We need more such actions and personnel.

22:22 Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation: We appeal to all international organizations, all without exception, as well as to the leadership of Ukraine - to immediately ensure the creation of humanitarian corridors for access to safe places for all citizens who have expressed a desire to do so, all without exception.

22:15 Destroyed by the troops of the DPR T-64BV of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the village of Prokhorovka.

22:10 A convoy with humanitarian aid from Crimea arrived in settlements in southern Ukraine. The irony of fate... Ukraine cut off the water supply to the Crimea, and promised to make it deserted. And Crimea collected humanitarian aid for her. Because he knows how important it is when in difficult times there is someone who will lend a hand and lend a shoulder.

22:02 Russia has formed humanitarian convoys to help the population of Ukraine, the Russian Defense Ministry said.

22:00 In the Lugansk region, the mayor of Kremennaya Vladimir Struk was found dead, who had previously offered local deputies to start communication with Russia and the "LPR". According to his wife, unknown men in camouflage stole it yesterday. His body was found today with a gunshot wound to the heart.

21:56 Russian Defense Ministry: It is necessary to immediately provide humanitarian corridors for the exit of citizens in Ukraine to safe places. At the same time, nationalists prevent the exit of civilians from Kyiv, Kharkov and Mariupol. The Russian Armed Forces are counting on prompt assistance from the UN, the OSCE and human rights organizations in resolving humanitarian issues in Ukraine.

21:38 The mayor of Kherson, who just yesterday heroically resisted the "aggressor", has already changed his shoes in a jump. A worthy example to other mayors, do not break the comedy and do not ruin people.

21:17 Basurin on blocking and storming Mariupol: Everything is going as planned. Volnovakha will be ours soon. Mariupol is blocked. The troops will continue to move in the direction that will help us finally stop the shelling of residential areas of settlements not only here, but also among our neighbors in Luhansk.

17:52 VVoznesensk, Mykolaiv region, the Armed Forces of Ukraine blew up the bridge.

17:51 Residents of resort villages to the west of Mariupol (near Belosarayskaya Spit) report that they are surrounded: Ukrainian troops do not let them go to Urzuf and further to the territories liberated by Russia. The Yalta-Mangush road was mined, and the road along the Sea of ​​Azov to Mariupol - bridges along the steep coast were blown up. The connection is barely there. In Mangush itself, they say that our people did not enter the city, but went around it to the north.

17:50 During the day, the Russian Aerospace Forces made about 400 sorties: Strategic facilities and stocks of materiel are put out of action, radars and air defense systems, and accumulations of equipment are destroyed. The workshops for the production of Molotov Cocktails and advanced positions are being liquidated. Arsenals and position areas are put out of action. The embargo on massive fire destruction of objects of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which was in effect until now, has been finally lifted. So far, we have seen the work of infantry units, special forces, army aviation, and artillery. Now the results of the full-fledged work of fighter-bomber aviation have gone. But the grouping of the Russian Navy in the Black and Azov Seas has not yet been fully involved.

17:45 "Valiant" Ukrainian soldiers are sitting in ambush at the school. They will wait until the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are planted with them, after which CNN, the BBC and other non-polite people will join the case with the topic of merciless executions of schools by Russians. This is just to understand with whom and what kind of war is going on.

17:39 At the moment, a cleansing of the city of Mariupol is underway.

17:36 A resident of Berdyansk about taking control of the city by the armed forces of the Russian Federation: “It is now calm, safe here, crime has been neutralized. There is no police, everything is closed, blocked. In fact, we have complete anarchy here, but at the same time, doctors go to work for free, there are volunteers, ”said a local resident.

17:27 On the territory recently occupied by Ukraine, an elderly woman crossed a convoy of the Russian Armed Forces, and then the fighter climbed into the locker and gave her part of his dry ration. Moved to tears.

17:25 On the offensive on Slavyansk: Russian equipment reached Izyum even moreyesterday. The servicemen of the RF Armed Forces staged a duel with mortar crews of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and then retreated back. In fact, without the liquidation of a large group of the Armed Forces of Ukraine roaming in the Volchansk-Veliky Burluk-Pechenegy region, the stabilization of the route is impossible.

17:23 The situation in Kharkiv: They are trying to disable the military infrastructure mainly at night. At the moment, the city is blocked by Russian troops from the north, east and southeast. In the village itself, it is relatively quiet, the “witch hunt”, the search for “saboteurs” and looting continues. The territory of the tank school is burning down, shells are exploding.

17:22 The Russian delegation left for the meeting place with the Ukrainian negotiators.

17:15 A native from Odessa turned to the Ukrainians with a request not to resist the Russian troops: “Do not believe the propaganda that the goal is to destroy people. This is a lie in order to hide behind people. Power is hidden behind the people. This special operation is being carried out against those who took part in the ATO,” said a resident of Odessa.

17:04 Resident of Mariupoltoldabout the "valiant defenders" from the "Azov" detachment, who fight under the guise of civilians.

17.00 The head of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry claims that 19 countries are supplying weapons to Kiev, and more than a thousand mercenaries from 16 countries are also arriving.

13:54 Shariy announced that the persecution of the UOC-MP has begun, radical elements are intimidating the death of clergy and their families. So far, this situation is aggressive in Volyn. By the way, the UOC really helps people and refugees from other regions. People stop being idiotic.

In this regard, our positions are being strengthened. The possibility of a counterattack is indeed present. According to Volnovakha, “from the fields” they report that the settlement is still in a state of “cleansing”. In the southern direction, in the Mariupol direction, everything is quite difficult - the enemy snaps.

13:30 Residents of Lisichansk report the impudence of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. There, the Ukrainian military are hiding behind the backs of the civilian population.” In Lisichansk, the Armed Forces of Ukraine locked themselves in the maternity hospital, went into the wards, into the intensive care unit where newborn children were lying in the pump rooms, put a machine gun in the window, and lay down on the bed to rest in the wards.

Both the US and Russia are led by intelligence agencies. Vlad and the FSB on one side. The Klingons on the other.

The S-2 (intelligence officer) sees the S-3 (operations officer) as a moron. He secretly dreams of becoming the S-3, or assuming the role of operator. Vlad and our own intelligence community are 'living the dream.' Everyone wants to be an 'operator.'

Please tell me I am wrong.

'The invasion of Ukraine is suicide for Putin,' says Kremlin critic Mikhail Khodorkovsky
[France24 Podcast] Exiled Russian Kremlin critic Mikhail Khodorkovsky said in an interview with FRANCE 24 from London that the Russian invasion of Ukraine is political "suicide" for Russian President Vladimir Putin, who "cannot win in Ukraine, even if he manages to take Kyiv or Kharkiv". This war is the result of an "emotional decision" by Putin, the former oligarch said.

Pfizer's COVID-19 Vaccine Goes Into Liver Cells and Is Converted to DNA: Study
[EpochTimes] The messenger RNA (mRNA) from Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine is able to enter human liver cells and is converted into DNA, according to Swedish researchers at Lund University.

The researchers found that when the mRNA vaccine enters the human liver cells, it triggers the cell’s DNA, which is inside the nucleus, to increase the production of the LINE-1 gene expression to make mRNA.

The mRNA then leaves the nucleus and enters the cell’s cytoplasm, where it translates into LINE-1 protein. A segment of the protein called the open reading frame-1, or ORF-1, then goes back into the nucleus, where it attaches to the vaccine’s mRNA and reverse transcribes into spike DNA.

Reverse transcription is when DNA is made from RNA, whereas the normal transcription process involves a portion of the DNA serving as a template to make an mRNA molecule inside the nucleus.

"In this study we present evidence that COVID-19 mRNA vaccine BNT162b2 is able to enter the human liver cell line Huh7 in vitro," the researchers wrote in the study, published in Current Issues of Molecular Biology. "BNT162b2 mRNA is reverse transcribed intracellularly into DNA as fast as 6 [hours] after BNT162b2 exposure."

BNT162b2 is another name for the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine that is marketed under the brand name Comirnaty.

The whole process occurred rapidly within six hours. The vaccine’s mRNA converting into DNA and being found inside the cell’s nucleus is something that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said would not happen.

#4  In vitro. A test tube. Does it work in vivo, in actual functioning organ tissue? Not likely, the body does have regulatory systems that inhibit this sort of thing, like enzymes and such. Still, it bears further research, that’s certain. Good reason to be cautious and do a risk assessment, especially since the mutation of COVID19 has produced a far less pathogenic version.

#11  So far, the deaths among young people have been publicized have mainly foreign male soccer players, which the media here just glosses over. If there's suddenly a young female American athlete whose death is suspected to maybe have anything to do with the vaccine, all hell will break loose. So, expect this to get buried fast and deep.
