To deliberately kill a civilian is a war crime

Larry Johnson, a very well informed man (ex CIA) said last night that Ukraine is winning the war on the ground according to even Chinese AI but says it's not true. Russia is attacking the Konstantinovka–Druzhkovka–Kramatorsk–Slavyansk belt and has ended Ukraine’s ability to conduct maritime and trade operations from Odessa and Nikolaev since July 22nd. I am on Ukraine's side but the most to hope for is a peace on the current lines. But Putin cannot trust the US any more than Iran can so peace is hard to see happening - Putin would be stupid not to require Ukraine to demilitarise.

Gilbert Doctorow says Ukrainian attacks are making Russia speed up what hitherto has been for a very long time a slow war of attrition. Whether it is the CIA or MI6 who are really behind the Ukrainian attacks he doesn't know for sure but it seems almost certain to me. Brian Berletic has no doubts.

Brian Berletic on recent car bombings by the Ukrainian secret service.

▪️Western media is reporting on a car bomb killing the head of a Russian drone developer inside Russia;

▪️This is only the latest of serial car bombings and other attacks inside Russia killing military officers, politicians, and even journalist - the latter 2 being undisputably terrorism;

▪️All of these attacks are glorified in Western media as "demonstrated clandestine abilities" carried out by "Ukraine's" intelligence services;

▪️However, since 2014, Ukraine's intelligence services were completely captured and since under the direct control of the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) with networks of CIA bases criss-crossing Ukraine up to and along the Russian border;

▪️Thus, each "Ukrainian" intelligence operation is in fact a US operation - including the ongoing campaign of deliberate terrorism eagerly reported on by the Western media.

Brian Berletic On Russia Wrecking Ukrainian Shipping

▪️The US-directed attacks on Russian maritime shipping has resulted in heavy Russian strikes on Ukrainian shipping as well as port infrastructure and logistical networks connecting them to the rest of Ukraine;

▪️While this has a strategic impact on the overall war in Ukraine, inhibiting arms imports as well as impacting Ukraine's economy, it is a PROXY war - thus it is simply Russia and Ukraine destroying each other as the main instigator - the US - remains unaffected;

▪️The US use of proxy war enables it to grind down both its own proxies and targeted nations in the hopes of reducing their overall economic and military power to compensate for the US' inability to match either let alone both;

▪️Until the US pays a price for its wars and proxy wars it sees no reason not to continue - no matter how badly Russia wrecks Ukraine - the US never cared about what was always a fully expendable proxy in the first place;
