Russia GO HOME. Get out of Crimea.

#Russia #Ukraine #BlackSea #Crimea

Okay, Friends, RantWoman knows perfectly well that many Friends might not consider the course of military campaigns standard peace testimony fare. This video is also clearly propaganda mde by someone but RantWoman is not going to track down who. The video reflects a number of points RantWoman has seen addressed in other, as yet unposted videos. RantWoman considers the video credible and reliable enough to post as partial counterpoint to the disinformation disaster in the Oval Office last week.

RantWoman has more to say about the MANY ways that Putin's "Special military operation" is going VERY badly for Russia. This is partly due to Ukrainian military genius, partly ever tightening international sanctions, partly intelligence help from Elon's Starlink satellite system, and of course US military aid.  This video for instance if anything understates the meaning of Ukraine successfully driving the Black Sea fleet back to Russian waters.

RantWoman is VERY tired of "Rah Rah America" about events in the White House. Multiple commentators have pointed out that usually diplomatic negotiations occur behind closed doors, but the Friday events were clearly designed to make a public splash with the President trying to browbeat President Zelenskyy into signing a bad giveaway deal about mineral wealth.

Pin here, from the wayback machine, the President in his first term both trying to withhold aid Congress had designated for Ukraine and getting snared in blowback from trying to get Pres. Zelenskyy to lie about Hunter Biden. In other words, the President is still big mad.

Professional diplomats would also not give away the entire Ukrainian store without demanding something from Putin. Today's proffer from the US administration: lift international sanctions on Russia. Uhhhh, suppose Russia were to just pull back. Partial lift. Pull back further and  STAY longer: more sanctions go away. In other words, Putin is scared. RantWoman is not a professional diplomat and has no reliable off-the-cuff read about all the complexities of different European and NATO countries' positions. RantWoman is also DEEPLY alarmed by other reports, but for now, RantWoman invites readers just to chew on this video.
