What Do Russians Think About The Ukraine War?
What do Russians think about the war in Ukraine? In this reportage, I travel to Rostov Russia to speak to the locals about the hard facts of the War and what they think about it. As expected many of them support the decision of the Russian Government to join the war but not all. You may be very surprised by what they have to say.Now that Ukraine Drone attacks hit airfields deep in Russia in Kursk and other cities things are changing fast. Russian missile strikes continue to force emergency power shutdowns across Ukraine. The city of Bakmut / Artyomovsk seems to be almost ready to come under Russian control.

the shelves looked full and the store was clean
although prices were cheap , sunflower oil like $1.50 where we pay $7.50 for about the same size bottle , the majority of population is elderly seniors , and the pension checks are a lot less than USA , so the prices are relative
at least there does not appear to be food shortages

WWI type injuries... trench foot, loosing feet, diseases....
The "sunk cost fallacy" has also been called the "Concorde fallacy": the British and French governments took their past expenses on the costly supersonic jet as a rationale for continuing the project, as opposed to "cutting their losses".

This is the viewpoint from the Russian side of the Ukraine issue. Turn on CC to translate
One of its main goals was to form an ideology that would dehumanize Russians and break all ties that existed for decades before. Initially, Russians weren't seen as a minority in Ukraine, but the anti-Russian sentiment gradually became overwhelming. Nationalists have been taught how to lead a war on social media, eventually launching a guided communication battle against the Russian people.
Stepan Bandera was the head of the Ukrainian nationalist organization in 1929. In 1934, the Gestapo accepted the Berlin chapter of the organization — he organized terrorist acts, killing officials. In 1941, the Ukrainian nationalist organization was responsible for the biggest Jewish pogrom in Lvov, killing about 7,000 people. Yet, in 2010, Stepan Bandera was pronounced a national hero, with torch-lit marches in his honor ever since.

Fast Forward to Fascism, Ukrainian nationalism in the making!
The nationalist movement in Ukraine didn’t just happen; it took years to build. It's been growing for years, nurtured by western curators and supported by western funds. By the beginning of the Maidan, an entire network of neo-not-see units had already been up and running in Ukraine, but the Ukrainian government didn’t prosecute them. Ready and able military and terrorist units dispersed and showed up at anti-Maidan meetings in Ukraine’s cities. The years 2019 and 2020 saw meetings and protests in Kiev demanding the denial of special status for the DNR and LNR breakaway regions.One of its main goals was to form an ideology that would dehumanize Russians and break all ties that existed for decades before.

Less than half an hour in length and well worth watching. Thanks for posting, Goldhedge!
at approximately the 25:40 mark:
"It would never have grown that far and that much if the Americans had not paid hundreds of millions of dollars to sponsor that."
and at 26:50:
"They've betrayed Ukraine, robbed it, and given it to the Americans to feast upon: Ukraine, my homeland!"

Listen to Alex (Twitter files targeting Trump. Putin, trust at ZERO with west. EU Greek MEP World Cup bribes. U/1) above.
The west used Maidan 'agreement' to lie to Putin and arm Ukraine. That is an act of war. Fortunately, Putin has a cooler head. Now he's merely grinding down the Ukraine military - the stated plan from the beginning - into little pieces.

Now that Merkel came out and said the Minsk agreement was ignored to beef up Ukraine's military, i.e., she lied and people died... Putin said there was no way to trust any negotiations.
Alexander explains the dichotomy between the east and the west.

didn't realize Odessa was a military target...
SUNDAY, DEC 11, 2022 - 09:00 AM
Over 1.5 million people in the southern Ukrainian city of Odesa are without power following Saturday nighttime "kamikaze drones" pummeling electricity infrastructure in the region, also as blackouts continue surrounding the capital of Kiev and other cities.
"As of now, the city is without electricity," the Ukrainian presidency's office said of Odessa. "The situation remains difficult, but is under control," spokesman Kyrylo Tymoshenko said, but while acknowledging that hospitals and maternity wards do have access to electricity at this point.
"As a result of the strike, there is no electricity in almost all districts and communities of our region," Maksym Marchenko, governor of the Odesa region said while pointing to suicide drones as the chief Russian weapon in the fresh attacks.
Starting Friday, the Ukrainian government said Odesa and southern regions were in the midst of suffering the worst and most sustained power outages due to the latest wave of major Russian aerial attacks. The biggest of these attacks started Monday and particularly targeted much of the south and its power grid.
