"mood of the moment" is how the democrats operate. One of the many reasons they are so dangerous to America, Americans, and the rest of the world. Democrats are the greatest threat to our country, Mr. Potato.

Not at all, but I wanted a laugh for the day as I knew it would tick off a certain propagandist.
Zelensky Signals Donbas Could Soon Fall: "Indescribably Difficult" Russian Onslaught
BY TYLER DURDEN
SUNDAY, MAY 29, 2022 - 09:55 AM
In a Saturday night speech Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky gave his most dire assessment to date of the status of Ukraine forces in the eastern Donbas region, where for over at least the last two months Russia has concentrated its forces, following the Feb.24 invasion of the country. Saturday marked the 95th day of the conflict.
He described conditions there as "indescribably difficult" in what marks a notably pessimistic shift and negative tone for the Ukrainian leader, strongly suggesting the fall of Donbas - or at least whole regions such as Luhansk - could be imminent. He identified several intense ongoing battles in places with a large Russian force presence, including Severodonetsk, Lysychansk, Bakhmut and Popasna. Sievierodonets in particular is scene of fierce up-close street battles.
"But our defense holds on," Zelensky sought to assure the public. "It’s indescribably difficult there. And I am grateful to all those who withstand this onslaught of the occupiers."

if the reports out of China are valid & correct - they are pulling civilian vehicle transport ships out of service for conversion to military combat vehicles >>> definite sign of the Taiwan invasion - if it's their big trans-ocean carriers that's bad news - timetable will be short ....

They might try it...once...
Amphibious landing on Taiwan would be a slaughter.
Taiwan has been under constant threat of invasion from the mainland for something like seventy years. They haven't just been sitting on their hands all this time.
I inadvertantly caught a glimpse of their coastal defences once, before they saw me on the beach. One minute it was a hillside covered in rocket artillery batteries, the next minute it was just a hillside.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has announced that the sixth package of sanctions will also shut down SWIFT for Russia's largest bank, Sberbank.
As Censor.NET reports, she said this at a press conference after the EU summit, EP reports.
"I want to note that other elements in the package are also important. This is the deswiftization of Sberbank. Sberbank is the largest Russian bank with a share of 37%. Therefore, now it is good that we are deswiftization Sberbank," said von der Leyen.
"We also have a ban on insurance and reinsurance of Russian ships by European companies. A ban on the provision of various business services to Russian companies and, most importantly, a halt to the broadcasting in the EU of three Russian state media outlets that disseminate the disinformation we have witnessed in recent weeks and months," she added.
In addition, as added by the President of the European Council Charles Michel, the EU will expand the sanctions list of those responsible for war crimes in Ukraine.

EU media spreads even more disinformation and so does yours. The EU only censors Russian media so that EU media can lie even more. Censorship is always the last resort of the EU it only serves to the sheep can read only one opinion and that you can steer the sheep to the slaughter.

Meeting on Russia's war crimes in war against Ukraine took place in Hague
Representatives of a group of countries working to investigate Russia's war crimes in Ukraine are meeting in The Hague on Tuesday amid calls to bring to justice those responsible for the atrocities.
As Censor.NET reports, this was reported by "European Pravda" with reference to the AP.
The co-ordination meeting is taking place on Tuesday at the European Union's Judicial Co-operation Agency Eurojust with members of the Joint Investigation Team and International Criminal Court (ICC) Prosecutor Karim Khan.
A joint investigation team consisting of Ukraine, Lithuania and Poland, meeting in The Hague on Tuesday, was set up in late March, a few weeks after the ISS launched an investigation in Ukraine.
ISS Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan visited Ukraine, including Bucha, and gathered a group of investigators to gather evidence in the liberated territories.
Among the participants of the meeting is the Prosecutor General of Ukraine Iryna Venediktova. Her office has already opened more than 8,000 war-related criminal cases and identified more than 500 suspects, including Russian ministers, military leaders and propagandists.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has called the killing of civilians "genocide" and "war crimes," and US President Joe Biden has called Russian President Vladimir Putin a "war criminal" to be brought to justice.
Russia categorically denies that its troops are guilty of atrocities.
There are growing calls for a special tribunal to prosecute Russia for the crime of aggression in Ukraine. The ICC cannot prosecute crimes of aggression, as neither Russia nor Ukraine is a member of the judiciary.

Jack Posobiec and his brother are in Ukraine. Been sending some informative information and video. This is a rare reporter that I trust.
JACK POSOBIEC:
“The biggest impression I can say from my trip is that the people of Ukraine have the warrior spirit. Even in besieged Mykolaiv where conditions are deteriorating we saw civilian men and women persevering”
“We got stopped by troops for filming right outside the Odessa train station and told to delete footage. And again police came up to me on the platform and asked to see my documents while I was just facetiming with my wife letting her know we arrived safe”
“Been in Europe for weeks now and still not one person has asked to see any sort of vaccine card or certificate. We aren’t vaccinated. The mandates failed, the people won this round.”
THE POST MILLENNIAL…
“The two brothers boarded the overnight train to Odessa where they met with local journalists and got a feel for the city. The train, Posobiec said, was "completely sold out," full of people heading back into Ukraine.
The lines to get into the war-torn nation are long, stretching for upwards of ten miles in some places, as Ukrainians who fled after Russia's February 24 invasion have begun to make their way back home, to see what damage was done and remake their lives on this new terrain...”

As Censor.NET reports, this was reported by "European Pravda" with reference to the AP.
The co-ordination meeting is taking place on Tuesday at the European Union's Judicial Co-operation Agency Eurojust with members of the Joint Investigation Team and International Criminal Court (ICC) Prosecutor Karim Khan.
A joint investigation team consisting of Ukraine, Lithuania and Poland, meeting in The Hague on Tuesday, was set up in late March, a few weeks after the ISS launched an investigation in Ukraine.
ISS Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan visited Ukraine, including Bucha, and gathered a group of investigators to gather evidence in the liberated territories.
Among the participants of the meeting is the Prosecutor General of Ukraine Iryna Venediktova. Her office has already opened more than 8,000 war-related criminal cases and identified more than 500 suspects, including Russian ministers, military leaders and propagandists.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has called the killing of civilians "genocide" and "war crimes," and US President Joe Biden has called Russian President Vladimir Putin a "war criminal" to be brought to justice.
Russia categorically denies that its troops are guilty of atrocities.
There are growing calls for a special tribunal to prosecute Russia for the crime of aggression in Ukraine. The ICC cannot prosecute crimes of aggression, as neither Russia nor Ukraine is a member of the judiciary.
They should investigate all crimes in Ukraine, not just the ones by Russia.

Yes, of course, all the countries that already hate Russia like the plague, the best investigation team for one-sided investigations, the result is already known before the investigation has begun, really ridiculous.
Do you have the feeling that Russia takes this seriously? You can investigate as much as you want with Poland, you will not succeed and Russia will not accept any verdict.
You can also turn it around, if Russia would investigate Ukrainian crimes and Kadyrov would participate, you would also say it was a farce!
I expect the DPR will try a lot of the Azov for war crimes. It will be interesting to see how fair their processes are and, if they are, whether any Western government will accept the judgements as legitimate.Yes, of course, all the countries that already hate Russia like the plague, the best investigation team for one-sided investigations, the result is already known before the investigation has begun, really ridiculous.

(I suspect the latter is a "no", regardless of how fair the process is.)
Andrew hard to say truth is generally the first casualty of war for those who are well read. There was a time up until the 1st world war when truth and war propaganda after wars end was admitted to and sorted but that all changed at the kangaroos courts in Nuremberg at wars end in 1945 where Germany is still vilified and punished for crimes she did not commit right up until this very day.
Whether Russia accepts it or not, it doesn't matter.
What matters is that as a result of this decision, Russia will receive more new useful sanctions, and Ukraine will receive more new useful weapons ...
It is questionable there will be much, if anything, remaining of Ukraine after this.
Poland has made noises of annexing the western parts of Ukraine . . . not that it matters much whether Ukrainian territory is ruled by its present puppet government or one which seems to go overboard kissing US govt backside.
It is unfortunate for Ukraine that it permitted extremists and the US govt to dictate its government policy and actions, including shelling Donbas for eight years.
happily for some the end outcome justifies whatever the means. Even at the sacrifice of truth for lies
