From "The Analyst":

ALMOST UNBELIEVABLE

The news across Europe is full with images of the terror attacks in Moscow. Moscow vows revenge on the perpetrators and they’re trying to angle it so that Ukraine gets the blame, even though ISIS is flat out trying to make sure the Russians know it was them.
Already AI generated video of a fake Ukrainian admitting responsibility has appeared.
Meanwhile Russia terrorised Ukraine with horrendous missile strikes and is half way through attacks on another dam - a recognised war crime.
And where is the coverage of this? Barely even mentioned, it’s ‘just another day in Ukraine’ .
This latest set of missile attacks was very severe, and yet what does Washington quietly ask of Ukraine? ‘Please don’t hit Russian refineries because it might affect the price of oil’.
They have a point about the upcoming election. Americans freak out if fuel prices rise even a little.
In fact right now the price of petrol in the US is lower than it was in 2008. But that’s not how they see it. The piece of fuel could hit Biden’s chances of reelection and therefore tank any chance of aid for Ukraine.
Yet the oil refinery strategy is clearly working and it’s having an impact - something has to dent Russian income hard enough and this is doing just that.
Yesterday at least two StormShadow missiles made it through and cratered a major Russian communications centre for the Black Sea in the centre of Crimea. A military target.
Oil refining capabilities are a valid military target - they support the war machine and provide the fuel for the Russian army to function.
American aid I believe is likely to pass in the next 6-8 weeks. There’s at least three options the table that might make that happen.
Having seen what I’ve just seen and witnessed it can’t come soon enough.
I need to process a great deal right now about Ukraine. First hand experience tends to ground how you think. There’s a natural tendency to become angrier and more incensed.
Yet I have to keep a balanced perspective. Accuracy and consistency- the ability to see everything from all sides requires clarity.
So I’m having a day out tomorrow.
No posts, no reading, no phones, no anything. Just the dogs and a very very long walk.
Have a good weekend. Don’t forget Ukraine - ever.

Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦!
