#1 Russian rocket attacks target Ukraine oil and petrol depots in Lutsk, Kharkiv and Kyiv as Putin tries to starve the defending forces of fuel in ruthless bombardment

#2 ^ That concentrated Zelensky's mind wonderfully. He is now on his knees and begging for peace "WITHOUT DELAY":
"Security guarantees and neutrality, non-nuclear status of our state — we are ready to go for it.”

#4 That was quick. Was it because Pootie blew up his oil depots?

Or was it something we're not being told about? Is Zelensky still using greenscreen?

#5 Uncle Joe Strangelove's remarks about regime change got Zelensky's attention. He knows from hard experience what happens when you stick your finger in Vlad's eye. Scared the shit out of Zelensky no doubt

#6 Greta Zelensky has a hissy fit. He's exasperated! How DARE you?!"

LVIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy accused the West of cowardice Sunday while another top official said Russia was trying to split the nation in two, like North and South Korea. Zelenskyy made an exasperated plea for fighter jets and tanks to help defend his country from Russia’s invading troops.

#7 Whoa! Where the hell did that come from? What's going on?

Are there midnight pallets of money being dropped somewhere behind the scenes? In Tel Aviv?

Zelensky said: “Security guarantees and neutrality, non-nuclear status of our state — we are ready to go for it.”
The Ukrainian leader has suggested as much before, but rarely so forcefully

#9 Biden's been compromised by the Russians.
Remember when Hunter told his hooker that the Russians stole his other laptop?

The Daily Mail broke that story last August.

"The Russians have videos of me doing crazy f***ing sex!' Hunter Biden is seen in unearthed footage telling prostitute that Russian drug dealers stole ANOTHER of his laptops

#10 Gen. Jack Keane explains what's going on as Biden pressuring Zelensky to cave in to the Russians.

Biden was bullshitting as usual when he put on his tough guy routine last week and threatened Putin directly. Total smokescreen. The Russians have something on him and his son

#12 Zelensky cries uncle.
Yeah that's an amazing turnaround. Very strange. Makes you think there's something to the "Biden's been compromised" theory. What else could explain this?

Could be a bit of legerdemain on Zelensky's part

#14 legerdemain on Zelensky's part
Please explain. Putin's taken over half his country, killed tens of thousands and is now blowing up his oil depots. Doesn't seem like Zelensky has any remaining cards up his sleeve

#15 Looking back it was really dumb to give up Ukraine's nukes. Who made them do that?

Thus, the deception.

#17 up his sleeve
Nope... Z-man's sleeves are too short. And they're oh so tight. The better to show off his manly biceps

#18 Probably in the works since last week when Russia's debt risk was underlined. Someone I know who follows other news lines suspected the same thing, other than roll the credits.

If the whole last decision hinged on Joetato's Poland Rally, I would have picked up the phone right after the bite of pizza. That would make sense though, "Joe, need one more moment of your magic to get the people rallied for Ukraine." with him trying to be folksie and at one with the troops.

#22 I think Zelensky is finding that just because your folks bribe American politicians doesn't mean they will actually do much to help you when the time comes.

Probably. Midnight drops at his sugar daddy Jewish oligarchs' luxury villas in Israel

Two oil depots and a cyberattack that took down nearly the entire national Ukrainian telecommunications network.

#26 Jewish Oligarch, Whose Daughter Mouthed Off At Putin on Instagram, Might’ve Been Poisoned

#27 So Shithead Biden gets roasted by the previously-fawning White House press corps. Big headline in the Official Mouthpiece, The New York Times: "Biden Says His Putin Comment Was Personal... "

The Shithead of the Free World flat out lied about what he said. Then he admitted he said it but mumbled that it was somehow "aspirational."

#28 Oh wait. Now he's contradicting his aides and reaffirming his call for Putin’s overthrow.
"I’m not walking anything back,” Biden told reporters at the White House during an unscripted Q&A — after his subordinates strenuously walked back Biden’s initial, ad-libbed remarks. "I was expressing the moral outrage that I feel and I make no apologies for it.”

Remove this moron from the White House. Who replaces him doesn't matter at this point. This is getting really dangerous.

This insane individual is a menace to the world
