Same Gen. Valery Gerasimov wey give briefing for Moscow yesterday?

Of course there're no doubts Ukraine has dealt with a lot of Russian Generals but let's not be adding zobo tutu to the story.

Zobo tutu ..... Lol

What do you expect the Ukrainian military to do to boost their morale.....

They will always add an extra zero and extra salt to the number of Russian Casualties.

That is a classic war tactics to boost morale

The Pentagon confirmed that the General visited donbas but cannot confirm the Ukrainian attack on the General.

SwattiLee:
Time wouldn't permit me to address every point enumerated above at once.

Even though I disagree with you, I think you did a great job butressing your point.

And yes, it also appears to me that Trump is not your 'type' of person and for that reason, you're calling him 'my guy'. Which is okay.

On racism, except we all want to be hypocritical, I think it's a global thing. You're probably aware of what happened to Nigerians in South Africa some months ago. Funny enough, that's black on black!

I don't know where you're residing at the moment. But I can assure you if you relocate to the United States, you wouldn't want to raise a family anywhere near black neighborhoods. Coz they most times behave like animals!

On Trump being a racist, it's mostly the making of the media in other to drive their agenda. Anything Trump did or didn't do was almost always blown out of proportion by the media and the Dems.

A good example was when he signed an executive order temporarily banning 7 or 8 Moslem countries from entering America the week he was sworn in. Guess what happened? The media and Dems put a label on it! And funny enough, the same countries had previously been banned temporarily a number of times during Obama's 8year reign.

Trump and Rocket Man

American policy (are often either dictatorial or ulterior) has never worked with NK and we should note that Trump is a result oriented man. His ultimate plan for NK was for Kim to jettison their weapons and in turn get American investment.

If you were heading a company and I'm also heading another, do you think we'd have problem collaborating if we're good friends? Unfortunately, it was the time their friendship started budding that Trump left the scene (to come back tho)

** My personal thought here: everything is evolving and time's changing but the unchanging ways somethings are being done is questionable!

To be continued....

I am waiting for the continuation Sir.

Thank you.

Putin na stubborn Landlord of Russia.

He alone determines when to lock the gate and open it..... Just like some primitive landlord would do.

I Salute the courage and bravery of the Ukrainian armed forces.

U.S. intelligence helping Ukraine kill Russian generals -NY Times

Ukraine has managed to target and kill many Russian military generals as a result of intelligence provided by Washington during the ongoing fighting in Ukraine, the New York Times reported.

Citing senior American officials, the Times said, "the targeting help is part of a classified effort by the Biden administration to provide real-time battlefield intelligence to Ukraine."

"That intelligence also includes anticipated Russian troop movements gleaned from recent American assessments of Moscow's secret battle plan for the fighting in the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine," the report said.

Ukrainian officials claim Russia lost some 12 generals in the last 70 days of fighting. It is not clear how many of them were killed as a result of US intelligence to Kiev.

The United States has focused on providing the location and other details about the Russian military’s mobile headquarters, which relocate frequently,” the paper reported.

The officials wouldn’t say how many generals they helped Ukraine target, doing so in secret to this point.

“ so that it will not be seen as an escalation and provoke President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia into a wider war,” according to the Times, but they did say that they were not involved in the "killing" of Gen. Valery Gerasimov, (as claimed by the Ukrainian military) Russia’s highest-ranking uniformed officer, telling the paper that

“The United States prohibits itself from providing intelligence about the most senior Russian leaders.”

One drone that the U.S. is now providing, the story notes, “can be used to identify and kill individual soldiers, and could take out a general sitting in a vehicle or giving orders on a front line.”

The officials quoted in the story all spoke anonymously, while a Pentagon spokesman said that “we will not speak to the details of that information” while acknowledging that the U.S. is presenting “Ukraine with information and intelligence that they can use to defend themselves.”

Sweden Says It Received U.S. Security Assurances if It Hands in NATO Application

Sweden has received assurances from the United States that it would receive support during the period a potential application to join NATO is processed by the 30 nations in the alliance, Foreign Minister Ann Linde said in Washington on Wednesday.

Sweden and neighbour Finland stayed out of NATO during the Cold War, but Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014 and its invasion of Ukraine have led the countries to rethink their security policies, with NATO membership looking increasingly likely.

Both countries are concerned they would be vulnerable during an application process, which could take up to a year to be approved by all NATO's members.

"Naturally, I'm not going to go into any details, but I feel very sure that now we have an American assurance," Linde told Swedish TV from Washington after meeting U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

"However, not concrete security guarantees, those you can only get if you are a full member of NATO," she added

Linde declined to say what assurances she had received from Blinken.

"They would mean that Russia can be clear that if they direct any kind of negative activities against Sweden, which they have threatened, it would not be something that the U.S. would just allow to happen ... without a response," she said.

Sweden's defence minister said last month that an application could trigger a number of responses from Russia, including cyber attacks and hybrid measures - like propaganda campaigns - to undermine Sweden's security.

Moscow has warned it could deploy nuclear weapons and hypersonic missiles in the European exclave of Kaliningrad if Sweden and Finland become NATO members.

Linde, who will now travel to Canada to discuss security matters with its government, said the United States was strongly supportive of Swedish and Finnish membership in NATO, which would increase stability in the Baltic and Arctic regions.

Both Sweden and Finland are expected to make a decision about whether to apply to join NATO this month.

SwattiLee:
Concerning his journey to NK border, it sure yielded fruit. Only that time was not enough for him to accomplish the whole mission which was to get Kim to open up the country so they can prosper.

The problem with Kim was that he was finding it hard to trust America hence the journey by trump to NK border. And it was beginning to yield fruit until the reelection flopped.

It appears you strongly believe in virtually everything the mainstream media have to say but the $400m aid to Ukraine that he withheld may be because to investigate Hunter Biden and that in itself was not contravening any law and even Zelensky said he was not pressured in anyway. But it had nothing to do with Putin.

Concerning Gerorgia, one of the top media, I think WaPo, broke the news that Trump was COMPELLING Georgia secretary of state to overturn the election but retracted their publication when the audio transcript came out and nothing of such was on it.

Trump as POTUS was head and shoulders above Putin. Unfortunately, the news media painted a very different picture simply because he wouldn't conform to their idea of what/who/how a president should be, hence the unrestrained disdain.

The red wave that'll sweep up the Congress come November will pave the way for his second term.

1 - Rocket Man and Trump

The North Korean diplomatic effort by Trump was a huge waste of Time.... It flopped big time.

Rocket Man and his people don't trust Democrats or Republicans. They prefer to die in hunger than to bow to US policy.

So why was your man going there to talk to someone that would not listen ?

He wanted to show strength but failed because he lacked adequate foreign policy experience. (Not because he lacked Time to continue diplomatic efforts)

If his trip was a half success, Joe Biden would have continued from where he left off and seal an agreement with Rocket Man.

2 - Quid Pro Quo

The 400 million dollar aid to Ukraine Scandal was not just targeted at Hunter Biden but on Joe Biden.

Kindly tell yourself the Truth..... Joe Biden was the Ultimate Target.

It was Pressure from Putin about America's military aid to Ukraine that made Trump to crawl back into his shell and started asking for investigation on the Bidens before he would release the aid.

Do you expect President Zelensky to publicly disgrace a sitting US President by saying that there was quid pro quo ?

That would not happen.

But you know your guy is a bad guy....

There was actually quid pro quo. He saw Biden as his biggest threat and wanted to nail him down politically.

3 - Racism

You said your man is not a Racist but when there was international outcry about the death of George Floyd, he could not even visit the family of George Floyd.

When he even called the brother of late Mr George, he didn't even allow him to express his grievances.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/may/31/george-floyd-brother-philonise-floyd-trump-phone-call

With all the Black Lives Matter protest in the US, what was his reaction ?

He was Non-chalant. He was a divisive figure. He openly displayed the "I don't care attitude" without hiding it.

During his regime (because that is exactly what it was) White Supremacists became more vocal the same way Fulani herdsmen are more vocal in Buhari regime.

I can give you more examples of Trump's Racist behavior but let me pause for now.

Trump and the Republican party as it is Today, has no love and regard for the African American Community in America...... And guess what,

That would be their undoing for many years to come. If the African American Community continue to come out in their numbers to vote for Democrats, No Republican would near the White House for a long time until they change their approach to the Black community.

Hillary Clinton lost her bid for the Presidency because African Americans were not motivated enough to vote..... And Republicans know this fact

That is why Republicans are now trying to suppress minority voters in various States in America

4 - Trump behaving like the Authoritarian Putin.

The Secretary of State in Georgia caught him red handed on tape demanding for more illegal votes to help him overturn the state presidential election.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump%E2%80%93Raffensperger_phone_call#:~:text=On%20January%202%2C%202021%2C%20during,from%20the%202020%20presidential%20election.

I know you tell me that you don't believe Wikipedia too ...... No wahala, you are not alone

But your man's behavior after his loss in the election is akin to the Authoritarian leader at the Kremlin.

5 - The Red Wave in November ?

I laugh .....

Ok we dey wait for una Red Wave.

I hope you are watching the current news in America.

Supreme Court Justices want to ban Abortion Rights....

Who do you think that would motivate the more in November Mid term elections ?

Democrats of course.

So we are waiting for the Red Wave you and your guys are planning.

There is no way Trump would return to the White House unless Biden loose the African American and minority votes, The Suburban votes,
And make less in road into White non-college voters.

But your guy nor dey shame oo

How can he lose the State of Georgia and expect to be President... Georgia that was a safely Red State.

Even Obama with his Black Political Anointing could not flip Georgia Twice..

What does that tell you ?...... There is a major Shift against your party.

Republicans losing Georgia in the Presidential Elections is a Bad Omen for the Party and if it repeats itself in 2024, then your party would have to re-strategize and Apologize to the African American voters that is dealing with them in Georgia.

Oh....... Wow

Putin Tells Macron West Could Use Its Influence To Stop 'atrocities' In Ukraine

https://www.nairaland.com/7109125/putin-tells-macron-west-could

US is helping to make the war a ‘strategic failure’ for Russia: Biden

Military support to Ukraine by the US and its allies is helping make the invasion a “strategic failure” for Russia, Biden has said.

Speaking at a Lockheed Martin factory in Alabama that produces anti-tank Javelin missiles, which have been a crucial asset for Ukrainian forces, Biden credited the workers at the plant for helping Ukraine resist the Russian invasion.

“A big part of the reason they [Ukrainians] have been able to keep up fighting and to make this war a strategic failure for Russia is because the United States, together with our allies and partners, have had their back,” he said.

President Biden also noted that military aid to Ukraine is a ‘direct investment’ in democracy

He called the US military aid to Ukraine a “direct investment” to protect democracy.

“Since Russia invaded Ukraine just over two months ago, we have sent more than $3bn in security assistance to Ukraine – alone us, not counting our allies,” Biden said.

“That money is a direct investment in defending freedom and democracy itself, because if you don’t stand up to dictators, history has shown us they keep coming … their appetite for power continues to grow.”

Biden added that Ukrainian forces are “making fools of the Russian military in many instances” with the help of US military aid.

GERMAN OPPOSITION LEADER VISITS
UKRAINE

‘This is our fight,’ says German opposition leader on Ukraine visit

Germany’s opposition leader has said during a visit to Ukraine that the country’s battle against Russian invaders was a fight on behalf of freedom everywhere, raising pressure on Chancellor Olaf Scholz to make an appearance in the Ukrainian capital.

“These aren’t images you forget in a hurry,” Friedrich Merz, leader of the Christian Democrats, who lost power in last September’s election, said of the destruction.

“It’s not enough to see it on television: you have to see it in person to understand the extent of the tragedy.”

Merz added: “The Chancellor [Scholz] is right that it’s not just Ukraine that’s being defended here, but democracy and freedom – the very way we live in Germany.”

Russians are paying a high price in this War.

Russian President Vladimir Putin discussed the situation in Ukraine with his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron in a telephone conversation on Tuesday and urged the West to put pressure on Kyiv to halt "atrocities", Russian news agencies said.

Putin told Macron that the West could help end "war crimes (and) massive shelling of towns and settlements in Donbas", leading to civilian casualties.

Russia denies alleged war crimes by its own forces in Ukraine and has blamed the deaths of civilians on what it calls nationalists and "neo-Nazis", a claim dismissed by Kyiv and the West.

"The West could help put an end to these atrocities by exerting appropriate influence on the Kyiv authorities and by halting arms deliveries to Ukraine", RIA news agency cited the Kremlin as saying.

Putin also told his French counterpart that Moscow was still ready for dialogue with Ukraine.

SwattiLee:
I object.

One of major reason Trump purposely became close to Putin was so to always put him in check whenever he tries any nonsense.

Do you remember he used same tactics for Kim Jong Un of DPRK?

Trump refused to make use of the normal presidential way of relating to other head of states but rather adopted a one on one relationship strategy.

If we're going to face facts, it worked well.

In one of his recent interviews prior to the Ukraine invasion, Trump said he once told Putin in a meeting that he knew that he(Putin) wants to invade Ukraine but it's an impossibility as long as he's president of the U.S.

Of all the head of states globally, Trump knew that it was only Putin that has got some balls, hence the closeness.

Unfortunately, the mainstream media continually painted a wrong picture for the people; Trump was always bossing Putin and not the other way.

Abeg forget Trump the Racist.

He waisted his time trying to be friends with Putin and Kim Jung un

Trump was and would always be a Russian puppet in the white house.... And that is what Putin's Russia want.

The lead up to his 2016 victory, shows clearly that the Russian regime favour him to be in the white house.... Even though Republicans would disagree.

Forget about the seeming strength that he claims to display, the results were zero.

When he went to the North Korean border to meet Rocket Man, what difference did that make ? ...... NOTHING

Remember when his Puppet Master in the Kremlin warned him about America's Support for Ukraine, he withheld more than $400 million in aid to Ukraine.

He later told Zelenky that he must investigate Joe Biden, before the aid would drop (even though he denied it, we know Trump is capable of such an action)

It took Congress to expose him before the aid was released.

Remember after loosing the State of Georgia in the General Election, he was caught on record trying to persuade a state official to give him votes illegally because that is what his Puppet Master would do.

Trump in the White House is Putin's delight because they see someone they can manipulate....

Authoritarianism in America became a norm during his tenure because that is what he learnt from his Puppet Master.

FORGET ABOUT TRUMP THE RACIST.

topcatking:
Now that you've gotten all emotional over my post... "which was objective, stood against rape and yet absolved no side of blame" , I hope you feel better.

Considering how your post would have the world believe that only "Russian soldiers " weaponise rape, I hope you keep this same energy for boko haram, bandits, the ongoing conflict in Ethiopia and Mali etc where woman and the girl child are being raped left and right .

Nobody supports rape, but at least have the decency not to demonize a single party and make others seem saints.

I am not demonizing anyone. I am just shining the light on the current global event.

Yes I am Pro-West but I would not fail to speak out the day NATO soldiers rape 10 year old girls anywhere in the world.

Evil is evil no matter our political affiliation.

topcatking:
OP it is obvious that you are not a student of history.

Rape has always been "weaponised" by invading armies or armies seeking conquest.

From ancient Greece to Rome to carriage, Saxon wars, the jihads , the crusades, in internecine and intertribal wars across precolonial Africa, in the first world war (great war), second world war, civil wars... in Iraq, Vietnam and the like.

Where there is war, rape is a weapon. (It is part of the spoils of war)

So whether Russian soldiers rape or the Azov battalions rape, or US soldiers rape or the French foreign legion rapes or UN peacekeepers rape or NATO troops rape or the German wermacht rape or child soldiers,boko haram and bandits rape.... it is an abnormality made normal by war.

Women suffer the most during war.

History never lies.

No clean hands.

Thank you very much...... My History lecturer.

You must be the Vice Chancellor of Nairaland University of War Crimes Explanation.

You are The Dean of the Department of Normalization of Rape In times of War.

I Salute You sir.

The fact that some idiots have committed rape in times of war and conflicts does not make it right..... You would agree with me.

So we have to speak against it and shine the light on it whenever such evil is being perpetuated....... Regardless of who the offenders may be.

Just imagine if that 10 year old girl raped in Ukraine is your Daughter..... How would you feel. ?

Would you still see it as the spoils of War ?

Yes Rape is an abnormality that is already becoming normal during conflicts but we must continue to speak against it.

No father wants to see his daughter, mother, sister or wife raped..... Hence we must condemn the evil act.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said on Tuesday that Germany would support Finland and Sweden if they decided to join NATO.

"If these two countries decide they should join the NATO alliance then they can count on our support," Scholz said in a statement after hosting the Swedish and Finnish leaders at a two-day Cabinet retreat near Berlin.

Scholz said no one could assume that Russia would not attack other countries.

The two-day meeting at Meseberg Palace was to discuss the course to take in the face of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, among other issues.

Still undecided

Swedish Prime Minister Magdalena Andersson and her Finnish counterpart, Sanna Marin, attended the first session of the meeting on Tuesday morning as guests.

The two leaders both said Russia's attack had forced their countries to rethink the question of NATO membership.

"Russia's attack on Ukraine has changed our security environment completely'' and there was "no going back," Marin said.

"We have to decide on whether to apply for NATO membership or continue on our current path,'' she added. "That is the discussion we are having now in our national parliament."

Andersson said Sweden's parliament was conducting a security review that will be presented on May 13.

"The analysis includes future international defense partnerships for Sweden, including a discussion on NATO, and all options are on the table,'' she said.

"While our respective security arrangements are of course decided nationally, we coordinate very closely with Finland,'' Andersson added.

Speaking at the start of the meeting, Chancellor Scholz called the two countries "close partners and important members of the European Union."

He said the meeting would discuss Germany's future economic course amid a myriad of challenges, including that of the Russian invasion and climate change, in consultation with scientists and economists

Why were the Swedish and Finnish premiers invited?

Owing to their proximity to Russia, Sweden and Finland both feel directly threatened by Moscow's attack on Ukraine, fearing the Kremlin's territorial ambitions could extend throughout the Baltic region.

Finland in particular shares a 1,300-kilometer (810-mile) border with the Russian Federation and fought the Soviet Union during World War II, losing territory after the conflict.

Their geographical location makes the two EU countries major stakeholders in the conflict in Ukraine.

The fear of Russian aggression has led to a surge in support in both countries for membership of NATO, of which other Nordic countries — Norway, Denmark and Iceland — are already members. Germany is also a NATO member.

The Finnish newspaper Iltalehti reported on Sunday that Helsinki would decide to apply for NATO membership on May 12. It cited Finnish government sources as the basis for its report.

If Finland does apply to join, Sweden is likely to make the same move to avoid being the only Nordic outsider. Surveys have shown that a majority of Swedes are now in favor of joining the alliance in a surge of support provoked by the Russian attack on Ukraine.
