#1  U.S. President Joe Biden will call Russian President Vladimir Putin today to discuss the build-up of troops

Why would #FJB fight for Ukraine's border when he won't fight for ours?

#5  Burisma bakhsheesh

The Burisma oligarch was backed by Yanukovitch, the Putin sock puppet, who corporatized government corruption, stolen election President. Sound familiar?

#6  there is some territory just North of the Russian influenced/occupied area in the East of Ukraine

it has a substantial population of Russian speakers and it is not easily defended

I wouldn't be surprised if Russia tried to incrementally expand their influenced area and then get another cease fire.

Military court upholds verdict of five convicted Dagestan terrorists
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[KavkazUzel] The Military Court of Appeal upheld the verdict of residents of Kaspiysk sentenced to long terms on charges of creating a terrorist community and preparing to attack a police officer.

As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote , on April 14, a military court in Rostov-on-Don sentenced five residents of Kaspiysk: Bagauttin Medzhidov, Ismail Narchavov, Felix Pirveliev, Murad Abdulkerimov and Huseyn Ramazanov to long terms of imprisonment, having found them guilty of creating a terrorist community and preparing to attack a police officer.

Abdulkerimov was sentenced to 18.5 years in prison, Narchavov, to 18 years, Pirveliev and Ramazanov, each to 17.5 years, Majidov, to 17 years.

The convicts were tortured after being detained, they planted grenades and ammunition, said lawyers Nadezhda Borodkina and Magomed Magomedov.

According to the investigation, in May 2016, the defendants created a terrorist community in Kaspiysk.

They "illegally acquired, stored and carried ammunition and explosive devices, and also set fire to two beer bars in Kaspiysk," investigators believe.

In August 2016, at the suggestion of Abdulkerimov, the defendants agreed to attack a policeman, after which they "jointly developed an attack plan, assigned roles among themselves, and also looked for an opportunity to acquire firearms and ammunition, but were detained by law enforcement officers," the investigation claims.

The defense appealed against the verdict, however, the collegium of the Military Court of Appeal in the Moscow Region today also found the defendants in the case guilty and upheld the verdict of the Southern District Military Court unchanged, a court official told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent .

"The defenders emphasized that the court of first instance violated the procedural procedure in terms of examining the evidence, that is, it did not give the opportunity to present them, and this is an unconditional basis for the cancellation of the sentence.

Further, it was emphasized that all five defendants were convicted under Article 317 of the Criminal Code of Russia (encroachment on the life of a police officer) only on the testimony of a witness [...] with the illness of “schizophrenia.” The court heard our arguments in the appeals, but did not want to examine the evidence from the defense. The court of first instance did not gave an assessment to some of the expert's conclusions, which we presented. And this is also the basis for canceling the verdict. After listening to us, the court decided to leave the verdict unchanged," she told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent.

She said that the defense will appeal against this decision.

The appeal against the verdict was received on October 21, it follows from the case card on the website of the Military Court of Appeal.

[KP] NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg arrogantly denied Moscow the right to have its own sphere of influence and be against the entry of its neighbors into the North Atlantic Alliance.

#2  Don't send javelins. Send Jimbo and Hunter Biden, also Devon Archer and Christopher Heinz (Kerry's stepson) and Victoria Nuland's son.

Maybe give them old-school Bronze Age javelins. And a suite at the Kempinski with a steady supply of hookers and crack for Hunny.
