The latest from Ukraine

Russia has encircled an indeterminate (estimates range 80,000 to 200,000) number of Ukrainian troops in the North. The Ukrainians are cut off from their supply lines and the only question remaining is if the Ukrainians will surrender or fight to the death. Sadly for those brave Ukrainians there is not much they can do. Stupid war started by the US and the price is being paid by Ukraine. Doubt me? Ask Lindsey Graham or Mitt Romney or any of the other war hawks in the US government.

@ArtieKat So you are heading to Donetsk? Good for you. Give my regards to Zelensky assuming he is still in power by the time you get there.

Give my love to St Peter - you have a hell of a lot of explaining to do when you reach the pearly gates.

@ArtieKat My sins are covered by the Blood of Jesus. Sad that the same is not true of you. You can fix that if you want.

Can you provide a link for that news? I've searched online for, "Russia has encircled an indeterminate (estimates range 80,000 to 200,000) number of Ukrainian troops in the North.", but the only website that came up with those exact results was to this site, to this post.

I did see a story that is titled, "Putin still has ‘well over 200,000 troops’ in occupied Ukraine, top US general says", but the article says nothing about Ukrainian troops being encircled. What you said in your post, were you eluding to something that could possibly happen?

Sorry just trying to understand the post and the information provided as it doesn't seem to match web searches.

@twiigss It is a comment I heard during an interview between two men. One of them has a lot of contacts in the US intelligence service and that is what they told him. I doubt that I could find it again if I tried since web searches tend to obscure the facts on the ground. Google is likely one of the worst and things like Youtube tend to restrict the information that is on their site. Not being critical of either just saying that it is very difficult to do actual research on the web when the content providers/search engines are censoring as fast as the news is put out.

@hippyjoe1955 yeah they seem to censor a lot these days.

@twiigss I heard a rumor that was later proven to be true about something news worthy in Canada. I tried to find it and google censored it as did bing etc. A few days later it was confirmed as being true but until then it might as well have never happened if you wanted to find it on any search engine.

They have been fighting over there since the year 900.

That means one war will end and the other in the Middle East has started. Thanks HJ

@msros I don't think the war involving Israel will last that long. Hamas makes a great punching bag.

msros · F

@hippyjoe1955 But that region is fighting forever.

@msros Yes Ishmael was one that fought with all his brothers. Nothing has changed.
