Mopping up is allegedly all that is left for the Russians to complete.
The Daily Exposé hosts Larry C Johnson, who makes a compelling case.
"When a 24 mile (or 40 mile, depends on the news source) was positioned north of Kiev for more than a week, it was clear that Ukraine’s ability to launch significant military operations had been eliminated. If their artillery was intact, then that column was easy pickings for massive destruction"
"The Ukrainians did not even mount a significant infantry ambush of the column with their newly supplied U.S. Javelins"
Can't really argue with that analysis.
"Not only is Russia striking and destroying bases used by NATO regularly since 2015, but there was no air raid warning and there was no shutdown of the attacking missiles"
"Russia is self-sufficient and is not dependent on imports. Its exports are critical to the economic well-being of the West. If they withhold wheat, potash, gas, oil, palladium, finished nickel and other key minerals from the West, the European and U.S. economies will be savaged"
"Russian military strikes in Western Ukraine during the past week have shocked and alarmed NATO officials"
"Putin has sent a very clear message—NATO forces in Ukraine will be viewed and treated as combatants. Period"
How could it be otherwise, I would ask?
There is a lot more good sense in this article which you won't (yet) find on the BBC.
