The DESTRUCTION of ODESA ? - Russian - Ukraine War - The New Cold War 2

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 3.25pm post the following, " Five people have been killed and eighteen injured in a missile strike in the southern Ukrainian port city of Odesa on Saturday, the president’s chief of staff Andriy Yermak said.  "

Lets Get Real:

Are we seeing on our TV's the start of the destruction of Odesa, the destruction of Mariupol and the deaths in Bucha have shown that the Russians do not care about human rights and will kill for the fun of it, that the Russian Command Structure supports such action shows that Russia has no honour and is the top of nations when it comes to having rogue regimes.  The West made a mistake in 2014 by not pushing back against the take over of the CRIMEA, this allowed Putin to think that the West was weak and would not come to the defence of other States that Russia might attack.   Thus President Biden who was Vice - President at the time needs to show that he will go the distance and will never allow Putin to win, we do not want to see another CITY destroyed.  One hopes that the West has given the Kyiv defence equipment to prevent missile attacks on Odesa.  The Russians will say or do anything to win, one has to remember that they could use WMD or low level tactical nuclear missiles in towns that they want or just to destroy. 

UK's SAS vs The Russians - Russian - Ukraine War - The New Cold War 2

Sky News: Reports " Russia investigating reports of SAS 'sabotage' in western Lviv region...Russia's main federal investigating authority says it will look at whether - according to a media report - the SAS has been sent in to "assist the Ukrainian special services in organising sabotage on the territory of Ukraine".  "

Lets Get Real:

One hopes that the SAS ( Special Air Service ) is in the Ukraine, they will be able to teach the Ukrainian Soldiers how to use the heavy military equipment that the UK will be sending to help the Ukraine Army fight the Russians in the East and South Ukraine.  The Ukrainian Army will be need to taught how to create successful sabotage operations on land that is suited for Russian tanks, and how to cause havoc to Russian supplies.   The WAR in the Ukraine is going to last a long time, and now we know that the Russians want to take the whole of the South and East Ukraine.  If the Russians are allowed to do this, it would create a major threat to other NATO States.  The Baltic States have small Russian minorities, the Kremlin will want them back if they can be successful in the Ukraine, and the costs of Defence will hit the roof if NATO has to double its defensive line in the Baltic States and Poland and Germany.  Also if Finland and Sweden to join NATO, the Russians are sure to pull something to equal the score.  The next few weeks will be crucial for Europe and western security.

It's not the South East Ukraine that Russia wants - Russian - Ukraine War - New Cold War 2

BBC News: Reports " Russia is aiming to take full control of southern Ukraine as well as the eastern Donbas region, a senior Russian commander says.  " 

Lets Get Real:

Thus it seems that President Putin has imperial ambitions, to recreate the OLD USSR or Imperial Russia, thus Russian threats on Finland.  Thus Western Leaders must think and plan for the WORSE, the West has to give the Kyiv Government ALL THE TANKS its needs and other heavy weapons.  If Putin takes the whole of the Southern Ukraine, the rest of what is left will be a basket case for the EU to deal with, the Russians would have taken ALL the ports of the Ukraine and made West Ukraine land locked.  Thus to prevent threats to other NATO States and States that might want to join NATO, the West has to dig deep and not grumble and think Western moves might upset President Putin.  This Munich 1938 ALL over again, but over a longer period, the Western  Leaders must not appease Putin, as he will take more and more.  In the UK Conservative MPs must not allow PM Johnson to be thrown out, he is the face of Western resistance to Putin, the Kremlin would be happy to see the back of Johnson.

Joe Biden's Approval rating at 41.3% - Toast Time for Joe - Mid Terms Nov - General Election 2024

Gallup: Reports " During Joe Biden's fifth quarter in office, which began on January 20 and ended on April 19, an average of 41.3% of U.S. adults approved of the job he was doing as president.  "

Lets Get Real:

It is toast time for Joe Biden, he needs inflation to go down by November, or look like its going down, he has to beat Putin in the Ukraine, and he needs to give the impression that he has not gone gaga.  Let's be clear, Biden is no Reagan or Clinton, will he change if he gets a thumping in the Mid Terms, from his present polices so far one has to say that Biden does not know how to outrun his base and get on the good side of the US voter.  In a few weeks Title 42 comes to an end at the border, after this finishes one can expect a massive migration surge, that will not go down well with the voter, they will see migration as a threat to jobs, also inflation could go up and Putin ambitions might not just be the Ukraine.  Thus POTUS has snookered himself, as reported in my previous post, Biden has told former President Obama that he wants to run again in 2024, if the Republicans take the House and Senate by big numbers, there will be pressure for Biden not to run, and for other candidates to comes out, otherwise Trump or someone Trump light could WIN in 2024.
