So much for those #russia #ukraine #war #peacetalks https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/rally-.. As you imagine, the #stock #markets have reacted in due kind.
#us to now #directly #deploy #manpads to #ukraine in what can be argued is a further #escalation https://www.zerohedge.com/military/us-ru.. This means that #russia now has a #greenlight to get #weapons from #china - not sure they thought this one out.
Damn, as the #lotuseaters point out, the #war in #ukraine is #complicated https://youtube.com/watch?v=jjW7G1Q_o-E There appears to be #nazis on both sides, #isis on both sides, #jews teaming up with #nazis and #muslims - it's an absolute mess.
#elonmusk being a #keyboardwarrior and #challenging #russia 's #putin for #ukraine https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/elon-m.. As the #article points out, this could also be about avoiding #scrutiny from the #sec ...
Apparently both #ukraine and #russia are looking #optimistic about some #peaceful #solution to their #peacetalks https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/u.. I #suspect that this will #depend on #military #advances and #resources too. Neither side will make #concessions if they believe they will #win ...
So the #wheat and #crudeoil #stocks dropped due to #peacetalk #optimism between #russia and #ukraine https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/stocks.. The joke is, neither side is prepared to back down. #putin is sending #military from #syria if that's any #indication https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/p.. The #market is simply wrong.
Why would the #us #target #ukraine with #cyberattacks , when the #us is #helping to #fund #ukrainians #fight against the #russian #invasion ? https://tass.com/world/1420473 Very strange. That raises the #question - why *is* #china #attacking #russia , #ukraine and #belarus ? Perhaps they are trying to push things along.
Checkout the last part of this #ukraine #daily #brief https://ukraineobservatory.org/2022/03/1.. The #ukrainian #soldier is #complaining about the poor state of the #captured #russian #mortar #military #equipment . This seems to echo a lot of what people believe about #russia 's currently fighting #capability - they have shown the world they are seriously under #funded and under #maintained .
The #us got #coldfeet about helping #poland #send #mig #fighterjets to #ukraine via #germany https://www.zerohedge.com/political/awkw.. #vp #kamalaharris was tasked with "smoothing things", which you can bet she did a shit job of.
Great point by #lotuseaters that we shouldn't stop being #critical of exactly who were are #supporting in #ukraine https://youtube.com/watch?v=ONKn4Rt_XUA #symbology to watch out for includes #swastikas and #blacksun #emblems - which appears to have #caught out even #nato https://www.newsweek.com/nato-says-it-di..
So it appears the #russian #military Z #symbol has been #decoded https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z_(militar.. Apparently it is being used in #ukraine to reduce #friendly #fire and to #coordinate #forces . The #ukrainian #army use the same military #hardware as #russia , so they need a way to tell them apart.
There have been a few scares about #shelling in #ukraine against the #chernobyl #nuclear #reactor , but the lack of #electricity to the #cooling #system is by far the largest #risk so far: https://www.axios.com/ukraine-chernobyl-.. The #iaea have #claimed that there is no immediate #issue here, but they have just 48 hours of #diesel #generators and all of the #monitoring has been non-working during this time.
So the #us were bouncing #ideas about the #polish #fighterjet #aircraft being used in #ukraine - #poland #accepted the #idea and now the #us are backing out: https://youtube.com/watch?v=4qrt7u804cQ This does not look like #nato #cooperation ... The #ukrainians desperately need those #aircraft and the #us will do anything it can to stall them.
*Oh wow* - #poland is giving all of their #russian made #mig #fighter #jets to the #us to #deploy in #ukraine ! https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/p.. This means they will be highly dependent on the #us to #replace those #aircraft for their own #defence . Apparently this caught #washington by complete #surprise .
Very informative #update on the #ukraine #invasion #situation https://ukraineobservatory.org/2022/03/0.. It's not looking good for #ukraine , although there are now #signs that #russia is getting #desperate .
Great #youtube #video by #tldrnews on the current #situation on the #russian #invasion it #ukraine https://youtube.com/watch?v=Z6WNML9xANA They accurately determine that the problem is #logistics .
