THE CURRENT OFFENSIVE HAS ACHIEVED NOTHING EXCEPT THE LOSS OF HUGE NUMBERS OF UKRAINIAN SOLDIERS AND EQUIPTMENT.
STARTING AT 16:40, BERLETIC COVERS THE RETURN TO THE UKRIANIAN ARMY OF THE AZOV BATTALIAN. HE FULLY EXPOSES IT AS A NAZI BATTALION AND ZALENSKY’S EMBRACE OF THEIR LEADERS.
THE NEW ATLAS
From President Trump:
Trump always presents a voice of reason.
All the other GOP candidates were asked to comment on the Cluster Bombs and only Nikki Haley commented – she of course endorsed sending the Cluster Bombs.
I am wondering whether Erdogan is reacting to Russia’s possible abandonment of the grain deal.
Turkey was never on the side of Russia, anyway – they’ve been selling the Turkish-made drones to Ukraine from the beginning and now they are planning to actually build a factory in Ukraine for making these drones.
When sites like these speak of “heavy Ukrainian losses” (and of course, ignoring even heavier Russian losses), what they are saying is that Ukraine’s counteroffensive is continuing to gain ground — which it is, both around Bakhmut and in the Southeast.
On the diplomatic front,
So far, Russia’s aggression against Ukraine has accomplished the following:
1. It is leading NATO to expand by three significant players (Finland, Sweden and Ukraine)
2. It has led to a strengthened Turkey-NATO connection, negatively impacting Russia’s naval access to the Mediterranean
3. It has led to the sinking of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet flagship and a substantial part of the rest of the fleet
4. It has led to the loss of the most modern half of its tank force, and some of its best helicopters
5. It has exposed weakness of the Russian military, with over a million young Russians fleeing the country to avoid fighting against their Ukrainian kinsmen
6. It has caused the most serious coup attempt in Russia since 1991
7. It has isolated Russia economically, wiping out most of the gains it made after the fall of the USSR
8. It has made Russia subservient to China
With “victories” like these, Russia would do well to suffer some “defeats”.

It appears that Erogan has switched sides, something which is inherent in his nature, and for which no one should really be surprised. He is also supporting Sweden’s entry into NATO as well. A more pressing concern than either of these of course will be if he intends to continue keeping NATO out of the Black Sea.
A massive issue. Turkey breaks it’s promise. It’s word now valueless
