The Duran

Ukraine's front lines are collapsing as Russian forces advance on Kharkov, Zaporizhzhia and Donbass all at once. In this episode we break down Zelensky's desperate push to close Russian airspace, the empty 90 billion euro loan and the very real chance Kiev's railway lifeline to Europe gets cut. Is this the checkmate moment that finally ends project Ukraine?

In the Guardian even the football scores should be double checked.

The only thing the Cabal have left is a massive false flag on mainland Europe.

NATO is like a drunken gambler that doesn’t know when to quit.

The West is in a panic. It's very obvious and self inflicted. Let Ukraine go to its conclusion.

When are the Europeans going to find that they have been taken for 'suckers.' How much property does Zalinski and his people own?
Take it all away from him.

Russia. Was only ever going to win. Against the west. And crush the proxy Ukraine.
The west is broke. Economic. Culture gone.
The EU. is on its ass. While many so called UE nations. Think to leave. The EU.
NATO. Is on life support. No weapons no man power no clue.
Russia. Has economic stability.
Weapons manufacture. Stability
With the oil and gas to produce. Said products. Listed above.
The only country that didn’t sell its people out. But fought to keep. It’s. Identity. It’s faith. Its borders secure.
Unlike. The west.
Gents. Thank you for all you do.

What still amazes me is the level of control NATO has over its domestic information space; 4+ years into this and the majority of the UK population still don't realise that we are at war with Russia, despite the obvious and serious economic repercussions - it's astonishing

They have been lying to us about this war for so long, that now more than anything, they fear the end of the war, and the truth finally coming out. The massive Ukrainian casualties - the relatively light Russian casualties. How the Ukraine NEVER had a chance to win this war. Their only positive outcome would have been if the Putin regime collapsed and the West managed to install a puppet government in Russian! As we see in Iran, overthrowing governments is not so easy.

Not to alarm everyone, but is anyone else concerned at how effing stupid Western “leaders” actually are???

I'm an Englishman from London, I wouldn't trust British media to tell me the score of a football match, let alone anything important. This anti-Russian agenda in the UK is way out of hand, really. A little story - I'm using the Grammarly website sometimes; even though my spelling is fine I do have some problems with punctuation every now and again. Anyway, I was checking one of my texts which included word Ukraine and it was underlined straight away, so I double-checked the spelling and punctuation but everything was fine. I was at a complete loss, so I clicked on it, and you know what popped up instead of grammatical correction? A flipping advertisement to support Ukraine and to condemn Russia. When even grammar websites are pushing this mad agenda, you know there's no hope.

There is a moment where Zielinski will have to disappear if he doesn’t want to end in jail or worse, being killed by the Ukrainians.
Everybody knows the war is lost. Problem is European leaders need the war to stay in power.

@Shoey77100 3 weeks ago (edited)

the EU & NATO thought it could just waltz in and take Ukraine and the Black Sea from Russia, they were wrong.
now they need to apologize to Russia, give them their money back and do what we can to set things right with Russia
no matter how it might occur if this war were to end before the U.S. midterm elections it would help Trump in the American public eye

@JeffWarrenAnderson 3 weeks ago

Yeah, we could say EVERYTHING done in The Name of The Ukraine War... was not only stupid but horrendous as many of us have screamed since December of 2021 and March of 2022 and so on and so on... watching Ukraine AND it's people be sacrificed now to the tune of millions dead

Since this conflict, I now have an uneasy question: was there ever actually a war that was worth fighting and dying for? Or, was war always used to enrich the elites?

We now know that EVERYTHING after WWII was pure manipulation.

Now we must question WWII and verify everything about it. I simply don’t believe anything I read anymore.

American history books are invalid until validated.
