      Stay safe. I did what you are doing now, in Syria back in 2013. Death can really come out of nowhere. Your 'fixers' are the most important people in your life now for keeping you as safe as possible. Don't put too much faith in the 'Press' label on your jacket, it can actually make you more of a target when you are on the front line. The other thing I learnt is that the enemy can pick up on any satellite comms devices you might have and use that signal for targeting, so if you do, only turn Sat devices on when you really need to, and away from front line.

      I wonder why the Russians have left the city center and government buildings untouched. Certainly, they could level them if they wanted to. It appears to me that The Russian Federation is still trying to avoid totally leveling the cities and minimize civilian causalities. As an American, our military doctrine is shock and awe. We gain air superiority first, take out anything that would challenge that, then we hit and destroy major infrastructure. Finally, after our opposition has been sufficiently weakened, we move in troops and armor.
      The Russians have never gained total air superiority over Ukraine. They moved in troops and armor without perfect cover. I assume they thought they could just roll in and take over as they did in Crimea. I guess that's what their intelligence told them. I wonder why they didn't modify their strategy when their intelligence was proven wrong. Why have they not gained total air superiority? Why send in troops and armor when you have no close air support. It seems suicidal. Why does Ukraine still have any aircraft at all? Why have the Russians not cut off their supply routes and rail?
      Strictly from a military standpoint, Russia's battle plan looks foolish and reckless.

      You have now crossed the line from Journalism into western propaganda. One sided bias with no context of the actual nazi Ukraine Azov battalion bombing and murdering thier own citizens in the Dombass region for 8 years with aprox 14,000 casualties, all for being ethnic Russians who just want to be able to speak Russian. Sad and pathetic. UNSUBSCRIBED! Watch Patrick Lancaster RUclips to get a clue. Epic fail!!!

      The oligarchs on both sides profit from this war.
      The Western oligarchs are profiting (via their large stakes in the defense companies), while the ones in Russia have their assets overseas and can consolidate more control by buying up cheap Russian/Ukrainian assets after the devaluation from the war.
      ⭐️⭐️The oligarchs have pushed both sides into war, and profit immensely from this.

Meanwhile in just two weeks that many civilians died by Russian hands in Ukraine. Donbas is like a mini Syria except the Russians are supporting the rebels (they just choose the side which is the most profitable). The separatists are backed by Russia so the war in Donbas is just another failed attempt by Russia to capture more territory for their oligarchs. And stop pointing your finger at Azov which was a group that alive was smaller than 10% of all the combined soldiers that DIED in Donbas and made up 0,1% of the Ukrainian army. Many citizens of Mariupol were happy to be liberated by them.

    • @vogelinvlucht
      @vogelinvlucht 2 года назад

      Ever wondered where evil comes from, those who question the God Sal Rizvi comments about? If God is all powerful and all loving, why would He allow all this misery? Well... Maybe because there is a dark side to this world that God is ALLOWING to unfold so that we can see the bad and choose the good. After all we aren’t robots and God allows us to make our own choices. If he would have to stop all the evil in this world in the blink of an eye, many people would perish too for they will just die in an instant: for they choose darkness and evil. But God loves those people too, He wants to save them too.
      I pray for the Ukrainian and the Russian people. And, we have a promise:
      “Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” ~Jesus (John 14:27)
      There is hope, it is found in God, in His Word. God bless all who read and hear.

      @@vogelinvlucht isn’t it also convenient that you can say god did this and god did that or god allowed it without ever knowing if what you are saying is true or just feel good words? It’s more like people have their own will regardless and god is a device we use to explain things. But also a device used to justify actions which is where I get tired of this thought process. The real reason good or evil comes out of people is within the person themselves - not some imaginary man floating in the sky or even less believable is a man under the ground in a fire pit making you do bad things 😂 you did it all yourself. at least with Buddhism you look inward trying to fix yourself which is all you really can do. Most religions blame someone else for all your problems.

      @@vintageexcellence I don’t think you’ve understood what I meant nor know about my religious beliefs. The Bible is my guide and the way to lead into truth, according to my convictions. The Bible teaches that we all have choices to make, like I was saying; we’re NOT robots. Exactly my point; we make our own decisions. I don’t know why you put words in my mouth I did not utter nor why you assume to know my beliefs. There is a good influence given us by examples, (the Bible being the ultimate guide) and the Holy Spirit who leads us into all truth. Then there is the bad influence (which by the way does not live underneath in a pit etc, who told you that, where is that based on?) by the devil and his fallen angels who want to lead us into sin. Now, the choice is still ours, it is always our own choice and decision to sin. My responsibility. I am to blaim. I need and can make things right.
      It is my sin, that caused the death of the Son of God. But thankfully, he paid for these same sins. And one day, the ones who believe and remain in Him, may go HOME.
