Global Loop (click here) But, Putin is full of surprises. He irresponsibly entered into war without any prior plan for invasion. Never once has he consulted with others regarding his activities, so it is only best if others who are worried about Ukriane speak up to allow Putin to see how his agenda is not only ill conceived, but, dangerous for the entire planet. The radiation over the Pacific would contaminate the food chain.
A nuclear winter could occur over Russia with potential jet stream contamination for China, the Pacific and Alaska. There would be significant damage in Ukraine, but, the poison wouldn't stay in one place.
The world is looking at uncontained environmental radiation that would pollute water and air and begin an entire issue with cancers 20 years from the day of detonation. Not to mention birth defects.
This is the year 2022 where the world population, even with COVID deaths, is nearly 8 billion. China and India alone sequester 2 billion of that number. The idea Putin would release a nuclear weapon in a war that is he sorely losing is grossly incompetent. This, however, is typical of Putin's escalation technique in that when the early weapons don't work simply increase the size of the destruction by more and more deadly weapons.
Earth cannot sustain these explosions and the idea there would be contamination that would travel to countries not involved in this war is an outrage. The world of 2022 should be the year when ALL nuclear weapons are disarmed and the idea of ever using them filed into history. Don't think for one minute Putin cares about anything except his own agenda. He does not care if the world is contaminated, lord knows, Russia already is.
There is obviously a fall. But, the question is what caused the fall. The greatest impact is at the occipital area of the head with a linear fracture. There seems to be minimal blood loss, so the pictures of the shower show some blood in the shower that appear in the picture to be brown streaks. There was also impact of the face. None of the injuries at the back of the head and front explains the three hemorrhages that are subdural, subarachnoid and subgaleal. I suppose there could be some tearing after the initial impact of the head, but, there is also a chance the head bleeds were caused by the virus which may have caused imbalance and a fall. Unless all the head bleeds can be attributed to the impact of the fall, that is a viable explanation.
She will be a great Supreme Court Justice. I think this is especially nice that Justice Breyer is retiring and able to see a woman that was once a member of his staff become the Justice to fill his vacancy. That is really special.
I want to apologize to Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson for the ill behavior of some Republicans Senators. The worst of the bunch is the US Senator that was proud of the January 6th insurrection. I think his name is Hawley. He always is running at the mouth with political dogma at the center of his inability to be a real human being.
The sex offender and preying on children thing comes directly from the Senator's followers that state Democrats are pedophiles and eat children. It is all political. I am not surprised Hawley was able to work the questions enough to get his points across to the extreme right political wing of the GOP that Senator Grassley thinks is above doing such a thing. Well. They did such a thing.
I am looking forward to her place in the Supreme Court. What a great and humble person she is for placing each case in the heart of the USA Constitution and being certain it is upheld for the depth of freedom it brings to every American. I thank her for her time as a judge to date and for the many hours she will spend in the future.
Putin doesn't even have respect for his own people. He won't tell the truth. He dishonors the soldiers that died for his campaign and he won't even admit they are dead.
A war of attrition. That is the answer in the age of nuclear weapons. The suffering of innocent people at the hand of a genocidal Russian president to what end is undeniably full of grief.
Nearly two centuries of time saw several wars of attrition with Russia. Putin has his country of people primed for such a war. They are after all Russians and the world hates them according to their president. Long suffering may very well be in the Russian genome. If Vladmir Putin doesn't care about Ukrainians as he kills at will whether soldier or citizen what makes anyone believe a war of attrition is going to end this?
Russians don't care about morality, ethics or the truth. They only care about the bottom line.
March 22, 2022The report (click here) from the tabloid originally read, "According to the Russian Defense Ministry, during the special operation in Ukraine, the Russian Armed Forces lost 9861 people killed and 16153 wounded."
CNN analyzed the HTML code in the website which indicates that the article was published on Monday at 12:09 a.m. Moscow time.
Seconds after CNN read the original article — at 9:56 p.m. Moscow time according to the HTML code — the story was updated and removed all references to the death count. That update on the outlet's website came shortly after the article began to get attention from social media posts, which referenced the death count.
Some background: Since March 2, Russia has not reported a military death count. The original report from the tabloid is in line with US Department of Defense estimates, which say that there have been up to 10,000 Russian military deaths.
Vladimir Putin is engaged in a genocide of Ukrainians. He has no conscience. He lives in a bubble where life is always perfect for him. If a Russian raises an adverse word about him they receive punishment. He has no idea what the people of his country think of his leadership, if you can call it that.
Vladimir Putin will never understand that a war of attrition will be so devastating to the people that he will have to find the moral compass to end it. That isn't going to happen. He has no moral compass and he will do what he feels necessary to inflict suffering in Ukraine for as long as it takes. He will never concede a loss or believe that he will never win. It will be nothing but a scorched earth outcome and he is fine with that.
The word win doesn't exist in the Russian language except when athletes are denied wins for the motherland because they use drugs not allowed in international sports. That is the only time when win will mean anything because the suffering of the athletes is typical for the way the world treats Russians. That is the national dialogue that creates the idea that Russians will suffer as long as necessary because that is what life perscribes for them.
This genocide by Putin will last years and he doesn't care. He doesn't care how many boys he will lose in combat or the tanks that will be destroyed or the missles that will destroy every inch of Ukraine. Putin has no conscience and he has protected criminals in Russia that have killed for him by poisonings in Europe. Those criminals are national heroes to Putin. That is the level of deranged reality Putin carries out and has for a long time.
War of attrition? Putin says, bring it on. He problably had dinner with Satan every night which is why he is no longer married regardless of the children he brings into the world.
Putin has no conscience. Remember that when talks fail time and again. President Zelensky has been attempting to engage in dialogue with Satan's spawn for two years already.
The Ukrainian people need a solution for their homeland. Anybody have one because a war of attrition is nothing to Putin.
Civilians are not the easiest people to motivate to leave. In the USA when the authorities tell the people in the path of a very bad storm to take shelter, regardless of all the information before them, they don't always leave. Some end up dying. This is not as unusal a paradigm as one might think.
They have strong ties to their homes where they feel safe and secure. From the pictures and videos I saw from my laptop the ones with the most incentive to leave are mothers with children. For as much as they love their husbands and want to stay, they recognize the tiny lives in from of them and realize they are the only answer to their survival.
Any civilian that leaves can understand as soon as it is safe they can return. Obviously there is no way of knowing how long it is going to take to move the Russian people to stop their president from killing, but, civilians only have to understand simply that they are safer elsewhere.

Every Ukraine civilian needs to leave Mariupol. There is a Russian somewhere with a map of the city and are using it to target buildings. No one is safe. There is no civilian in Mariupol that is safe. They should leave because the missiles are the only weapon Putin is guaranteed to have an effect.
March 20, 2022
I can't believe American generals have not talked to the Russian military leadership to give them a strong dose of reality as to what their missiles are doing.
There are reports of Russians leaving their own country because of the crack down of dissent against the invasion (click here).
It looks to me as though they are taking on far less danger than facing Ukraine troops. They are pretending to understand there is danger in the apartment.
They remind me of the Iraqi troops when Gulf War One occurred. The Iraqi men were forced into service wearing shoes (of the moment) which were average every day footwear. Some of the Iraqi soldiers still had their evening shoes on when they went to war from the nightclub. This is crazy. Put a weapon in the hand of a Russian and call it an invasion.
This is disgraceful.
Ukrainians are riped out of their lives, some killed by soldiers that haven't got a clue and this is the way Russia sees the war succeeding.
The Russians are in the elevator. I guess. What do they need to be in an elevator for? When the door opens I hope it is a friendly on the other side.
Like they had to break the camera. That is anger. That is not a soldier in control of his destiny. These guys aren't trained. They are pressed into service as conscription soldiers and they are PO'd they are there in the first place. Putin put numbers of troops in Ukraine and told them to fight. It is a cage match. Russia hasn't got a chance and someone needs to put an end to this genocidal war.
Volodymyr Zelensky's government (click here) has suspended 11 Ukrainian political parties because of their alleged links with Russia.
The decision was taken by the Ukrainian national security and defence council, and although 10 of the 11 were small parties, one - the Opposition Platform for Life - holds 44 of the 450 seats in Ukraine's parliament, according to The Guardian.
At the same time, Zelensky signed a decree on Sunday to merge all national TV channels into a single government-run service - effectively ending the operation of private TV media....
An EU diplomat states, no one should see what he did in Mariupol.

Every time Putin brags about his military it feeds the USA military industrial complex.
We need a world where countries compete economically providing a good quality of life to it's citizens, not the chronic fear mongering of war. The current war ego is antiquated and destructive. There is no reason for it.
Russia is a mess and out of control. Let's face it. Russian mercinaries numbering 200 were destroyed by USA military. Currently, explosions by terrorists in the way of suicide bombs are lethal and undermining to societies. But, the nuclear threat among the major powers in the world needs to end. The entire concept of Third World countries spending money on it's nuclear weapons rather than it's people is stupid and counter productive to their national need.
The head table of a gala celebrating the tenth anniversary of Russia Today in December of 2015 included Russian President Vladimir Putin and American retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn.
Russia's lack of military prowess is why this is an anti-peace dinner. Jill Stein is not a threat to the USA, Flynn is an entirely different issue.
