Commentary from a grounded and realistic military professional on the Ukraine war. I find it hard to disagree with the following statement from the good Col;
"We are seen as people who are completely selfish, completely self-interested, no sympathy for or interest in anybody other than ourselves. That's a a very bad reputation to have. "

Take your time and review the evidence, then once you have, come back and tell me I am wrong. Accept that challenge, review the evidence, then PROVE to me I am wrong.
The 2014 coup in Ukraine was backed by the USA, remember the recording of Victoria Nuland, selecting who would become the leaders, and saying "F**k the EU"?
While the USA complains about Russia's putative illegal annexation of Ukraine, they themselves annexed the WHOLE COUNTRY of UKRAINE. THESE are the irrefutable facts:
From Der Spiegel, November 26, 2009 :
NATO's Eastward Expansion: Did the West Break Its Promise to Moscow?
What the US secretary of state said on Feb. 9, 1990 in the magnificent St. Catherine's Hall at the Kremlin is beyond dispute. There would be, in Baker's words, "no extension of NATO's jurisdiction for forces of NATO one inch to the east," provided the Soviets agreed to the NATO membership of a unified Germany. Moscow would think about it, Gorbachev said, but added: "any extension of the zone of NATO is unacceptable."

Obama admitted his role in the US-supported coup in Ukraine. (First video link below).
Victoria Nuland, Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs at the United States Department of State, admits in the second video that the USA supported the Ukrainian coup with 5 billion dollars. Note the Chevron symbol in the background of the video. John McCain (Senator Lovewar himself) and Victoria Nuland were in Ukraine in December 2013 amid the mass anti-government protests. (The third video is of John McCain in Ukraine addressing protesters.) During the visit, McCain met with Ukrainian opposition leaders in the country’s capital of Kiev, voicing his support for the protests, adding that he saw Ukraine’s future with Europe.
Obama admits the US-sponsored coup:
Victoria Nuland . . . 5 Billion recently, with Chevron symbol behind her

Biden's youngest son, Hunter Biden was hired to the board of Burisma Holdings, Ukraine’s largest private gas producer. The proxy Ukraine war is all about profit. The Eastern part of Ukraine is the major oil and gas producing region of Ukraine accounting for approximately 90 per cent of Ukrainian production and according to EIA (The American Energy Information Administration) may have 42 tcf (trillion cubic feet) of shale gas resources technically recoverable from 197 tcf of risked shale gas in place.

Three major corporations bought millions of acres of land in Ukraine immediately after the 2014 US-sponsored coup . . . . no planning there at all, right?

This is the butt naked clown the USA government has such a hard on for, that they are sending Billions of our tax dollars to. .
puff:
For sure Russian propaganda will use this, but I am listening to his military take on things. People need to know the harsh realities of what happens on the ground.
The crazy thing for me is Zelenskyy was elected on a pacifist agenda, an overwhelming result like 80%. Ukrainian's voted for peace with Russia. But like politicians in our countries, election promises get broken so what he did is increased attacks on the East of his country instead, ignoring the minsk agreement..
