A dire warning from the Ukrainian top general Dmitry Marchenko. In an interview with the Ukrainian channel TSN, he emphasized that Russia is currently re-grouping to attack Kyiv once again. He also highlighted Russia’s desire to cut off Ukraine completely from the Black Sea this year.
We need to make sure this doesn’t happen.
Comment from Jason Jay Smart:
Two years into the war appears to have changed little. While we’re still dithering on Ukraine’s membership in NATO, which is long overdue, people are dying and dictatorships worldwide are on the rise, feeling few repercussions for their actions. The US needs to be a leader and a bold one too.

A good piece by David Frum. Though Johnson is much more supportive of Israel than Ukraine, it seems like he’d rather obey Donald Trump than help our allies. This doesn’t bode well for American global leadership and does indeed sound like a “great betrayal.”

The GOP’s Great Betrayal
Congressional Republicans are blocking crucial aid to Israel and Ukraine out of sheer servility to Trump.By David Frum
On January 17, House Speaker Mike Johnson led a candlelight vigil at the Capitol to mark the recent passing of the 100th day of hostage-holding by Hamas terrorists in Gaza. Members of Congress assembled shoulder to shoulder with families of hostages. The Republican speaker delivered a heartfelt speech. “We must stand together in solidarity with the Jewish people,” he said. “And we will, from the synagogues in Brooklyn to the country churches of my home in northwest Louisiana, from the Senate to the House—we support Israel, believing that we can overcome the darkness with light.”

Speaker Johnson is one sick magaputler hypocrite. He’s full of Christian compassion for Israel, yet is happy for Ukrainians to die each day because of his determination to paralyze US-Ukraine Aid.
Gen. Marchenko is not a man to ignore. Outnumbered and outgunned he defeated putler’s best professional troops in Mykolaiv. Then repeated that feat in the battles of Voznesensk.
The loss of Mykolaiv and Odesa would be the death of Ukraine. You can be sure that the putinaZi rat vermin are working on all sorts of diabolical schemes to achieve that.
They may have crappy, piss-ass orcs but they’ve got shitloads of them.
