President Zelensky Isn't Getting It; Build It And They Won't Come!

[JimofPennsylvan]

The Ukrainian and European Union governments taking a position that the U.S. and U.K. are overacting to Russia military offensive moves is a major mistake that they will come to regret. At this juncture no one knows and that even includes Vladimir Putin whether he will order the Russian military to invade Ukraine, Putin is too cunning he will always do what is in his best interest so he won't make the final decision on this issue until the last minute before the invasion. But that being said Ukrainian President Zelensky should be preparing the Ukarinian people to fight an imminent war to stop a Russia invasion whose aim is to take Ukrainian territory, Putin's activity is to unusual even after his large build-up of troops at the Ukrainian border, enough for optimal leverage at the negotiating table, over the approximately last two weeks he sent an additional twenty-three battalions to the Ukrainian border. President Putin will get something big out of all his moves of late toward Ukraine or he isn't Valdimir Putin.

I personally don't think Nato gives Vladimir Putin enough at the negotiating table to placate him so I think Putin invades Ukraine and hurts Ukraine enough to placate himself. I agree with the commentators that believe Putin doesn't conquer the country of Ukraine but takes a portion of the country twenty percent of the east and twenty percent of the south. Specifically, this portion will have a border from the North approximately fifty miles to the west of Chernihiv, down to Pryluky, down to Poltava, down to Dnipropetrovsk, down to Zaporizhzhya, down to kakhovka, west to Nova Odesa and down to Berezivka and over to the border of Moldiva. Putin doesn't want to take Kyev with all the patriotic Ukrainians there that would die for their freedom rather than live under Kremlin oppression they would create an insurgency that would kill many Russian soldiers. Vladimir Putin core goal is to not have a Ukraine that hurts him, a Ukraine that hurts him is one that is part of Nato and/or is prosperous and democratic because then ordinary Russians will want what ordinary Ukrainian have and try to topple his government to get it. President Putin taking this portion of the country achieves his goal Ukraine never becomes part of NATO because Nato has a common defense mandate which if Ukraine was admitted would then require them to fight a war against Russia to reclaim Ukrainian sovereign territory and Nato countries will not take on that burden! Further, Putin taking this territory cuts Ukraine off from the Black Sea which hurts Ukraine economically plus with Ukraine being in part occupied by Russia it will be deemed an unstable country by the investment community so foreign investment will be low all resulting in Ukraine's economy being a lukewarm one at best.

President Zelensky could lead his people to win this war against Vladimir Putin and the Russian Army but he has to offer his people bold and tough leadership. He needs to have a national address to his people where he levels with them about the challenges they face. He needs to tell them we are fighting a superpower in Russia here whose armed forces are competitive with the superpowers of the U.S. and China. We cannot win this war by defeating or wiping out Russia's military head to head we win this war by causing fatalities and casualties to the Russian armed forces high enough that their leaders conclude it isn't worth it to wage this war. In order to do this the Ukrainian government must largely keep its army intact through this war because the unleashing of Ukrainian army weapons against the invaders will bring significant Russian military casualties that will mount; practically this means we must not let large portions of our army get encircled and get trapped by the Russian army. Specifically this means the Ukrainian Army must continually position its front line in front of the Russian Army's front line it must not allow columns of the Russian Army to get behind the Ukrainian front lines because otherwise these Ukrainian troops will be trapped and will be wiped out as Russia drops its gigantic amount of munitions on the caught Ukrainian soldiers. To this end President Zelensky should tell the Ukrainian people that in the east the Ukrainian army's front line will be fifty miles from the border and it will be completely out of the province of Luhansk and if the Russian army breaks through the front line in overwhelming force the Ukrainian Army front line will pull back accordingly there will be no peninsula type of land formations that existed in the Ukrainian front lines at the battle of Debaltseve which allowed Ukrainian Army units to be cutoff and wiped out; the Ukrainian army needs this initial fifty mile buffer to provide time for the Ukrainian army to reposition itself once the Russian army crosses the border because the Russian army will be moving quickly, Russian equipment is high quality which provides them with this speed quality.

President Zelensky should tell the Ukranian civilian populations in these withdrawn territories that many such areas have local militias and we will allow them to stay and fight for their and your home communities and I am even instructing the commanders of the Ukrainian army units in the border areas for those militias that have the expertise to operate tanks and artillery guns that the Ukranian army commanders leave up to twenty percent of the tanks and artillery guns with the militias to defend their communities and be generous in your assessments if the militias can handle the weapon systems. Furthermore, if Russian military columns invade the border they will eventually hook left or right to trap the militias if the militias request help to try to escape I instruct the Ukrainian army commanders not risking being encircled or captured themselves using Ukrainian artillery and tank fire to try to weaken or create a hole in the Russian lines so the militia have an opportunity to escape. President Zelensky needs to provide a public disclaimer to these militia fighters, he needs to tell them "if you are taken prisoner by Russian forces the Ukrainian government will not trade a permanent cease fire for your freedom, making such a trade practically means agreeing to the permanent loss of Ukrainian sovereign territory such an agreement can never be made"!

If President Vladimir Putin invades Russia it will be by the end of September this year he will not likely invade later because the military operation could take up to two months and if he starts in October or November his army could be in a fight in December when there is freezing temperatures and snow which could immobilize tank, troop carriers and artillery carriers which could make them easy targets for Ukrainian shell fire which could cause great losses to the Russian army, President Putin is too smart to take such a risk. The point being is President Zelensky should be calling up all the reserves of the Ukrainian army for a six months stint to take Ukraine through this danger period; heaven knows there is work for them to do Russian Generals will probably try to run at least two Russian military columns one from the north going south and one form the south going North to meet at Zaporizhzhya and cut off the Ukrainian army in the east and eventually cause them to be wiped out. What the Ukrainian Generals should be doing is building trenches and fortifications to protect artillery guns and tanks at least four if not six couples of lines running east to west around thirty to forty miles apart along this Russian invasion path so if need be Ukrainian weapons systems can be added to these lines to be used to slow the advance of the Russian columns buying the Ukrainian army some time to withdraw the Ukrainian army in the east to west of Zaporizhzhya through these escape routes! Honestly, I think Vladimir Putin will come this year with his invasion force but the Ukrainian people with God's grace and smarts and bravery can win this war of Russian aggression!

I think he "gets it". Oh, and the best time for a Russian attack there is in the dead of winter when the ground is frozen, better supporting Russian tanks, not September or any part of the rainy fall, due to trafficablity of armored vehicles.

Residents of Mariupol report the arrival of Ukrainian convoys with multiple rocket launchers MLRS "Smerch". This is reported by the "Wargonzo" project of military commander Semyon Pegov, citing his own sources, the correspondent of Donbass Today betrays.

"The arrival of twelve MLRS, accompanied by units providing security and supply, was recorded by local residents," wargonzo reports.

It is noted that it is Mariupol that is closest to the other cities controlled by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, located to the Russian-Donetsk border. On some sections of the Azov front - the distance to the border is within 60 km. This is just an acceptable, if not the optimal distance for the work of "Smerch".

Somewhere in Libya these installations would have already been blown up by coalition forces from the air. For the violation.

Then the "students" need to go to their embassy and have their government help them get out. I'm with the ukrainians---Ukrainians FIRST.

Oh and I did notice a lot of Male africans---the ukrainians are evacuating women and children and making their males stay behind. African males are getting treated as well as the ukrainian males.

Ukrainians FIRST.

Right words - Uber alles!

Right words - Uber alles!

Ukrainians are fighting invaders---and the african and indian men go to their country for a free ride but when Ukraine is attacked they all lift up their dresses and try to take seats on the train that should be given to women and children fleeing the war.

Shows what type of trash the foreigners are----they want the free ride but they won't help out their host country once it is attacked.

As I said, I am with ukrainians on this. The foreigners better go find their embassies and never come back.

Ukraine’s Deadly Gamble

I read your article, but its author missed something that was grossly hidden by the American Press, which considers the abominable betrayal of the public by calling the truth a conspiracy theory. That truth is no lie. Biden was NOT elected by the one-vote-one-person convention set forth in the Constitution. The Democrat Party has a lot to hide. Why they let an admitted on film former Vice-President who used his office for personal gain through unconstitutional extortion of a foreign country, the Ukraine, for giving him the billion dollars he demanded because he was going to end America's foreign aid package of several billion dollars to buy protection from Russia, which Putin decided he needed to take over the civilized world with a little help from his well-paid friends who put their bank account fatness ahead of the United states of America and all we stand for.

Biden was chosen by the deep state communists who use omeurta like Republicans use the truth to determine the fate of this land.. The Democrats first conspired with opinion-makers in Hollywood and the corrupt and for sale liberal media icons who took the omeurta to choose Democrats uber alles to praise in the press based on political reasons rather than personal achievement and selflessness. So the leftist press supported Democrat know-nothings and selfish fiscally wanton abominables to rule the House and an omeurta expert as the House Speaker. Did they know the outcome? I have a feeling the outcome was determined by the number of benjamins the party of once-respectable liberals who held the lock and key to the IRS piggy bank that actually is the property of the American people. Nancy and her deep state determined that Trump had to go before he got the chance to be inaugurated, and Obama's Oval Office is where the hatchet fell. Obama was told to order the important people in the Democrat circle only to destroy Trump by impeachment as quickly as their finders could make a good case. That didn't happen, so they relied upon a carefully orchestrated a hell-on-Earth for the new administration, which is what we saw--the creation of a false narrative to make the President appear in the worst light possible, dredging up funds collected by Joe Biden from the Ukraine and George Soros, the Democrat my money is yours if you make me richer with interest in omeurta's finest false narrative. Washington DC became an acrid warzone for lies the Democrat invented with a little help from their experts in Hollywood who were to express constant disdain based on the false narrative du jour, iow a lying movie script that was learned to make people hate a bad guy who wasn't really a bad guy, and to love the good guy who actually was not necessarily good at all. The way Hollywood does that is to make certain the classic bad guy in the script must hurt a woman, steal from the church plate, or kick a puppy that goes into a piteous cry until it passes out. The false narrative took a man who adores his children, but is so busy, his wife got herself forgotten by her man who was doing all he could to make her life a fairy tale, but alack and alas, business had to go first for that to happen, so bingo! Hillary's war room discovered a great way to destroy Donald Trump, who was President-to-be, they took one thing he did in a weak moment, was to pay money for sex during his wife's pregnancy along with a contract that got her promise to never reveal the indiscretion so his wife would not have to cry with a broken heart. That was a pretty good blow, except for the broken contract that showed the sex sale madam was a greedy person who broke her word to a well-paid for service including bribery. Nobody liked it so the Clintonistas dredged up a porno film and pasted the likeness of the first lady, and showed it blatantly on a fuckbuddy-style porno website anyone checking up on why they found an online mistress her forgetful husband was paying for the thrill of watching her antics that took all his sexual energy away from her marriage. People in this country took all that as a bad sign. Others were already acquainted with Democrat dirty tricks thanks to the outrageous claims of a past acquaintance of Trump's choice of the next Supreme Court Justice to show America the accused and his friends were all womanizers. In Brett Kavanaugh's ordeal, the false narrative was eventually discredited by its instigator who worked closely with deep staters Nancy Pelosi, Comrade Kamala Harris, Democrat Operative Christine Blasey-Ford, the faux-victim and co-conspiritor with the talented Comrade Harris, and thus was ushered in by Senator Diane Feinstein, who I would hope was not aware that it was a pack of lies, but who knows?

What does it take for this nation to understand that the Democrat Party has separated itself from the real world and created its own alternative reality based on an unfair totalitarian power grab it is close to owning, except that the truth gets in its criminal way. They decided to go for America's neck with faux hatred for the College of Electorates that stands in their way based on building America state by state by state, with a say-so even for the smallest-populated state, a 1/number of states, which as presentvly is 1/50 states in national elections for the Executive Branch of Government.

The numbers of voters was destroyed at 3 am the day after real votes were counted showing that Donald Trump won . It wasn't by miracle the writing of new agendas in vote counting and proof only one vote was cast per person in states where the Democrats see to it that anything goes! Including more people voting in a district than live there. Biden actually did not win. The Democrat Precinct obeyed deep state orders to accept suspicious boxes of votes determined by Democrats the false narrative that he won based on boxes of last-minute voters who ALL voted for Biden in the same handwriting of one person, likely the omeurta pal of the deep state with no morals whatsoever.

If you think the unpopular President Biden was elected honestly, you are mistaken. It will take two more years to prove it, although already, those who are reviewing the polls that haven't already been destroyed, there are serious breaches indicating that Joe Biden's Deep State handlers prevented voters from knowing that Joe Biden the Extortionist DID NOT WIN THE GO-AHEAD FROM THE REAL AMERICANS WHO VOTED, EACH WITH A DIFFERENT HANDWRITING. AS THE LAW REQUIRES.

The American people fell into the Democrat web-of-lies. I didn't. And they did sureptitiously in lock step with the jerks in the press who think they're pulling the fastest one opinion makers ever pulled. It wasn't them. It was the Deep state commies who tore up their communist member ship cards like Pelosi did when she ran for congress.
