The Russian Invasion of Ukraine (Part 2)

Some of this must be a blend of panic and seeded disinformation - the Donetsk airport report in particular just doesn’t seem possible.

Yeah, I think there is a lot of disinfo going on to panic further the Russians to make bad moves.

Quite ironic, not for the first time with Russia.

For people like me confused by the NAFO acronym:

The North Atlantic Fellas Organization (NAFO; a play on NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization) is an Internet meme and an online phenomenon dedicated to countering Russian propaganda and disinformation about the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.

It does say ‘extremely’ unconfirmed reports. Where does extremely take this statement, other than being completely useless.

Imagining that Ukraine continue to make territorial inroads, and with Ukraine expected to continue to their pre-2014 borders, is there appetite in Crimea for liberation and returning the territory to Ukraine?

It seems reading up on it that Crimea is really messy in terms of how they identify themselves. We can’t just look at ethnicity (which is majority Russian).

Is there a case for Crimean to be an independent state with protections from simply being annexed again by Russia like they were in 2014? (though it was a fake independence as a means to be annexed)
Protections through NATO for instance?

The roar of John Deeres must be frightning!
I’m impatient for this next Deere season with John leading the way.
