⚡️EXCLUSIVE: Musk to Replace Shoigyu.
After last night's fiasco in Sevastopol Famous American Traitor Musk is a front-runner to replace Shoigyu.
Asked today if Ruschia can win. Shoigyu demurred like a duck.
"I know we can win. Let me lead Ruschia to victory," Musk told Putin.
⚡️Sevastopol Attacks: Three Dimensions.
1. Material damage to irreplaceable vessels affects Ruschia's capacity to wage genocide.
2. Message to Ruschists Everywhere (like Musk, Putin,...): Ukraine's victory is inevitable - You've lost.
3. Message to everyone: Crimea is Ukraine.
⚡️29 March 2022: "The main tasks of the special operation in Ukraine have been completed," Shoigu said. Since then Ruschia’s Theory of Victory is “stalemate.” Every action of Ruschia inside Ukraine has been oriented to convincing Ukraine’s allies that a stalemate, as existed between September 2014 and February 24th 2022 is the inevitable outcome of this war.
Ukrainians who lived through the Minsk I and Minsk II betrayals of Ukraine by Germany and France particularly will not accept any peace agreement short of Ruschia leaving 100% of Ukraine.
Any discourse inside the West that promotes the Stalemate Thesis ignores Ukraine’s agency and is a function of Ruschia’s Stalemate Disinfolklore vectors.
⚡️Those practising postmodern governance in England got no theoretical grounding in That French Muck.
Yet, they model contingency, cynicism, Enuf of Experts thru every pore. Letting Covid run amok is result. Hyper-Modernism: Too Much (Covid), yet Never Enuf.
⚡️I Moved to Severodonetsk in Jan 2015.
No hummous, anywhere.
Crystal (now destroyed) got it in Jan 2016.
@leSilpo (now destroyed) a month later.
Avocados too arrived in 2015.
Post Soviet city being transformed. Progress.
Now after murdering 10,000+ native language speaking residents, Russia doles out potatoes. 😩😡😖
5 March 2022 was the first time Ruschia shelled Severodonetsk. In the coming two months the city would be destroyed. Thankfully the lovely family I lodged with left the city on 6th March 2022. They now live in the European Union. 10,000+ civilians were killed. Here are photos from that first attack:
I LOVED living in Severodonetsk for three years. This is what the 🇷🇺 barbarians did to it yesterday. In July 2014 the 🇷🇺 who had occupied Severo retreated accross the Donets River. Retreat again, Barbarians. You're not wanted there.
Severo is a new city. Severo's oldest quarter was built after WWII by German POW. Severo was the USSR's top city for Ammonia production. Ruschists slowly destroying that plant.
Severo has many parks, stadia, Olympic sized swimming pools. In Soviet times, everything would've been immaculately maintained. Since USSR's collapse, Severo has had its best days after July 2014 & the Ruschists retreated. Ruschia briefly held Severo then.
I lived in the Mir Hotel for a year. Ruschia shelled the Mir in 2014.
Two days ago [27.05.2022] Ruschia occupied the Mir (which means "peace" in Russian). Yesterday, Ukrainian armed forces killed the occupiers. Mir is now free again.
Dreamt of Mir Hotel in Severodonetsk last night. Lived in it for a year. Ruschists briefly occupied it yesterday. Before being killed by 🇺🇦 armed forces. Ruschists don't even know why they're there. Barbarism, haunting our dreams. As President Z says though: they're doomed.
Then in an amazing house with a lovely family, who're now refugees in the 🇪🇺. They left behind their underfloor heating, swimming pool, flower-rich garden. Afraid to ask if they brought their pets with them. Here's my 🐱 Henry in the kitchen there.
Well-fed gentle, feral 🐱 & 🐶 are what I noticed most on my morning 🏃🏿♀️ through Severo - 10km from one side of the city to the other. In winter (-20 sometimes), they lived in warm basements of apartment buildings. Each neighbourhood has a system for feeding their cats & dogs.
Gradually I got to know Top Cat. He balanced on a bin. Thus his name. He seemed ill. Brought him to the vet. They tested him. Said: "He's dying." Top Cat spent his last week with me in comfort at the Mir Hotel in Severo. He's buried in the pet cemetery in the forest.
Fate of my gentle & kind neighbour in Severodonetsk: "...house to our left was also hit & our neighbour was simply torn to pieces from a direct hit. He & 2 friends were putting out a fire in a garage. 1 of the 3 was hospitalized & died from his wounds, & the 3rd burned to death."
Severodonetsk is like Jerusalem to a village Chechen TikTok "soldier" who has watched 2,500 Ruschists die to get to the Good Zone. German Prisoners Of War built Severo. Ruschist POW will rebuild 🇺🇦, brick by brick, without all that conformist Communist Architecture.
@WSJ calling Severo a "key" Ukrainian city is the highest compliment it has ever received. As de-facto capital of Luhansk Oblast, Severo is important (I lived there for 3 years👇🏽). Ruschia occupied Severo in Jun 2014. Retreated in July 2014. If Ruschia takes SVD, a brief victory.
Ukrainians whose cities, towns, and villages have been erased completely from the face of the earth have an experience of memory emptiness few of us, I hope, will ever know.
I feel a little of it, when I think of moments, places, people I knew in Severo.
People like the vet who saved the life of my cat, the Turkish restaurateur who I got to know so well I would visit his family home (which I saw in a video was obliterated) never responded to my emails.
I'll always wonder what happened to them.
I saw video of decaying bodies on the sandy lanes I used to walk to work along each day.
The maternity hospital where so much joy was felt now a fifteen months after Ruschia occupied the city is still a shell. Genocide.
