Defending an Army

Chapter 1: Towns as Battlegrounds

As the war progressed through the stage of the Russian advance a pattern emerged in the actions of what the corporate press termed "heroic Ukrainian insurgents". A pattern of atrocities which was very familiar from the similar actions of the "heroic Iraqi insurgents" of CNN during the second gulf war. There were no major engagements outside of civilian areas; there were no movements of Ukrainian "insurgents" in significant numbers outside of densely populated civilian infrastructure; there were no evacuations of civilians from battlegrounds. Zelensky even forced the civilians back into Kherson on the frontlines after it had changed hands and then happily reported more civilian casualties and of course demanded more free weapons.

Zelensky's war was not Waterloo or Gettysburg where the men left the children behind and fought out in the vast unpopulated expanses of farmland, the majority of eastern "Ukraine".

The above is was where the Ukrainian "heroes" were found. Out of uniform in children's playgrounds with more unevacuated children trapped in their homes in front of the firing positions of the "heroic insurgents". Amnesty International issued a statement condemning the actions of the Ukrainian army after finding family homes, hospitals, schools and churches routinely used as firing positions with the terrified civilians still trapped inside. Infact in some instances they found Ukrainian artillery placed in school playgrounds. In Iraq the US used to track mortar shells with radar and fire back automatically on the origin. It is likely the Russians have the same capacity. The Ukrainian "army" has even proudly released videos of themselves militarizing family homes. In one video I saw the "insurgents" were occupying a farm house proudly ambushing the Russians. How well that tactic would have worked and how long these "heroes" would have lasted if the Russians were just using American WW2 style tactics and leveling everything in their path could be supposed.

The above is an image of the Russians driving into an ISIS style ambush implemented by zelensky's "insurgents". The Russians are on the road btw because between the tires the Chinese sold them, and the mud they don't travel far in the fields. There is extensive farmland surrounding this little town in which the Ukrainian jihadist could have taken up firing positions. However that is not the way of the "heroic Ukrainian defender". The Russians are not leveling the little villages, although they easily could and save themselves, the Russians do not choose to kill the ethnic Russian villagers. Therefor where are the "defenders"?

As seen in the image above, right behind the family homes, using children as cover for their "counterattack" on the Russians. This picture tells the real story of Ukraine. The Ukrainian "army" was never an army defending a country. The reports coming out of Ukraine were image after image of an Iraq, a murderous force of jihadists doing everything in their power to use the bodies of children to defend their occupation of a country. Is it any wonder that zelensky completely shut down the press and throttled any civilian attempts to release videos of their treatment by his "defenders"? How many mothers really ask for their children to be used as body shields by the "army of their country"?

Chapter 2: All Children Left Behind

Then there is zelensky's evacuation of ethnic Russians from combat zones: The evacuation that did not take place in any strategically valuable location. As soon as the Russians got anywhere near civilian homes, inevitably occupied by the Ukrainian "army", zelensky claimed no evacuation is possible. Most of these towns were all of a few hundred to a few thousand people. One of the larger would be a city like Mariupol with a population on the order of 50,000 or less. Among the largest is Kharkiv with a popolation of just over a million and a location almost on top of the Russian boarder. In evacuation drills in the 1957 Portland, then with a population of around 370,000, evacuated in around 35 minutes from the city center with outbound traffic moving at an average of 15mph. In 10 hours this would be 150 miles. In the highly disorganized evacuation of Houston in 2005, 2.5 to 3 million people evacuated in around 24 hours over a 100 mile distance. Zelensky had months to evacuate from obvious strategic locations, like Kharkiv, while the Russians built up their forces on the boarder. He had days to weeks to evacuate locations like Mariupol as the Russian army approached their objectives.

The only evacuation zelensky performed in Mariupol was the evacuation of children from their homes to military bunkers under a steel mill. The same military bunkers that became the primary base for his "heroic insurgents" continual attacks on the Russian army. The Russians repeatedly requested an evacuation of the children and non-combatants from the military installations. Zelensky repeatedly refused. Without the trapped children the Russians could easily have destroyed the bunkers and the "heroic Ukrainian resistance". As it was the siege went on for weeks during which according to the Ukrainians the Russians suffered massive casualties as a result of the "resistance" of the same "heroes" sheltering behind the children in their bunkers. When the siege finally wore down the pedophile's "heroic insurgents" the pedophile called for a truce to "evacuate the children". The Russians agreed immediately but there is no record of the children making it out of the bunkers in which they were tortured. Was the truce perhaps really for the pedophile "president's" "heroic insurgents" to escape before the Russians found the bodies?

Chapter 3: A Question of Motive

There was one evacuation however; this was the evacuation recorded by France24 of a town the Ukrainians did not want to occupy. The story begins with France24 dutifully repeating the propaganda line of the day as, perhaps, instructed by the Ukrainian officials: "The town is being evacuated because the Russians are shelling it". The video then shows Ukrainian army soldiers wandering leisurely through the town. In spite of the stated danger of being hit by a Russian artillery shell any second neither the news team nor the Ukrainian military show any sense of urgency or apprehension. Do the Russians stop shelling if they are in danger of hitting Neo-NAZI soldiers instead of random ethnic Russian civilians? The team then runs across a terrified woman. She says she is leaving and going to the camps "because her neighbors were killed by the shelling". For some reason however she forgets to mention who killed her neighbors. The Ukrainian army is of course close at hand. The French news team then goes on a little farther. They find a group of citizens sitting outside their house. These people are defiant. They are not going to the camps where the ethnic Russians are being concentrated by the Ukrainian army. They actually state they are staying in the town and waiting for the Russians. For some reason they are also saying that they know the direction the shelling is coming from and it is the Ukrainians who have been shelling them.

...so if the town is filled with ethnic Russians who want to go over to Russia and in the wrong location to be "defended" the towns people are encouraged to evacuate by "Russian" artillery which of course stops as soon as Ukrainian "heroic defenders" enter its target. "Russians" wouldn't want to hit Ukrainian army soldiers now would they? These "Russians" who commit atrocities for some reason refuse to fire when the Ukrainian army is present but habitually wipe out ethnic Russians when no "heroic insurgents" are there to be harmed and zelensky can sell the bodies for propaganda. Why don't the Russians use their real firepower to level all these towns and save themselves, if they have no problem killing civilians? If the Russians unleashed their real capacity the war would have been over in a week. Do the Russians prefer to take what the Ukrainian government has testified to as huge casualties just because they might kill some Ukrainian jihidists in the process of killing the civilians?
