#1 Siege warfare is incremental and slow. Western media repeats and repeats that winter is coming as if this will impair Russia. The invasion occurred in February. So a bone thrown to the western media to print something. Political theater is media of the West. Russia is aware of this trap of being goaded into mayhem of Media blitz. 2/3 of countries not western aligned side with Russia. Breach of faith(USA and NATO) being the common belief. No use of Nuclear, massacre but rather perceived as Russian measured response. Ukraine sends fodder to its front lines. The meat grinder is in full operation. No effort to end the war. West pursues more war and advises(Boris Johnson) Zelenskiy not to capitulate. Rather West sends billions in military aid(weapons) Not currently available so a delay till various weapons are manufactured. Hence Ukrainian slaughter.

#2 A fine recital of the Kremlin line. Meanwhile, it's Russia scratching for cannon fodder.

#4 #2 The lament of the Ukrainian solder being healed and sent back to the front as fodder. 80,000 to 200,000 dead and disabled with Ukrainians left where killed. Kremlin line, I prefer reality. No effort to mediate. The elites want war anywhere or everywhere. One crisis after another. Great former powers have gone thru this before in the past. Overspend. Many battles here and there. Then inflation. Then austerity. Our solution was to print money and then print more money. Our current state at this time. Safety net promoting a nation of indolence.

#6 ^"Cackles in Kamela", good one. I will use that when appropriate but deny my being the originator. Being as a minor flea on a dog myself.
