I thought he was going to talk about the occupation of Georgia, from the chapter headings, but he didn’t unfortunately.
He references the always superb Shaun Pinner, quoting Shaun’s “like isis but a state actor with a permanent seat at the UN” comment.
I strongly recommend Shaun’s Substack page and the news site; London Loves Business, where he is their special Ukraine correspondent.
Another quote from Shaun yesterday :
“There simply aren’t enough anti-ballistic missile interceptors on the planet to deal with the volume Russia is now sending into Ukraine.
Taking out the launchers? That’s a different kettle of fish.
Starlink could give Ukraine the capability to target the archer, rather than continually trying to intercept the arrow. But politically, Ukraine is denied that connectivity over Russia.”
“It would be a game changer.” — Fire Point CEO Iryna Terekh
Yet again Ivan Muskovy is working to enable putler’s genocide.
Krasnov will be delighted.
Note also that Krasnov’s personal lawyer, Todd Blanche, is now Attorney General.
So, nothing dodgy about that then. The Krasnov Crime Family lawyer now in charge of U.S. law. What could possibly go wrong?
