    Peter Zeihan, a geopolitical strategist, says Ukrainians need to kill 10 Russians for every Ukrainian. And that the only realistic way of doing that is causing famine in the Donbass and Crimea. That’s the harsh reality.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Outnumbered and outgunned, one front-line soldier has given a sobering account of Ukraine’s struggle to cling on to its foothold on the east bank of the vast Dnipro river.

    Under relentless Russian fire, the soldier spent several weeks on the Russian-occupied side of the river as Ukraine sought to establish a bridgehead around the village of Krynky.

    His account, sent via a messaging app, speaks of troop boats blown out of the water, inexperienced reinforcements and a feeling of abandonment by Ukraine’s military commanders.

    Ukraine’s General Staff reported in its daily update on Sunday that its forces were maintaining their positions on the eastern bank of the Dnipro, and were inflicting “fire damage on the enemy’s rear”.

    Ukraine’s commander-in-chief Gen Valery Zaluzhny told the Economist magazine in November that, “just like the First World War we have reached the level of technology that puts us into a stalemate.”

    Ukraine’s military meanwhile says it wants to target Russian supply lines and force them back enough from the river to protect civilians from shelling.


    The original article contains 1,169 words, the summary contains 172 words. Saved 85%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

    This is really fucking simple: Ukrainian interests and Western/allied interests overlap 100% in the context of this war. We provide money, hardware, training, and intel, Ukraine provides manpower, we kill blyats and destroy a threat to our world order. So what the fuck is the problem??? Maybe we should dispatch the fucking cunts among us whose alliances are to Moscow.
