Ukraine: Coming under fire in the Donbas trenches – BBC News
What’s life like in the trenches of Ukraine’s Donbas region?
“Very muddy and very dangerous”, says BBC correspondent Quentin Sommerville.
Ukrainian soldiers face “relentless Russian fire” according to Quentin, who recently came under fire himself while reporting from the country’s battlefront.
Quentin speaks to the BBC’s Frank Gardner about his time in Ukraine.

The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.
“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.
In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.
He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.
Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.
Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.
The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.

Explosions have been heard near two Iranian port cities, Bandar Abbas and Bushehr, state media has reported.
It comes after another night of strikes between the US and Iran, with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps saying it hit two UAE tankers in the Strait of Hormuz and targeted US facilities in Jordan and Bahrain.
The UAE called the attack “brazen”, adding that an Indian crew member was killed and eight others were injured.
Meanwhile, the US military says it completed strikes on targets aimed at degrading “Iran’s ability to attack commercial shipping” – Iranian state media reports three people were killed.

The US military said it was carrying out a new wave of strikes on targets in Iran. It said the aim of the attacks was to degrade Iran’s ability to attack shipping in the strait of Hormuz. It came ass the US Navy resumed its blockade of Iran’s ports.
Iran said that control of the strait of Hormuz was required for its national security and it will exercise sovereignty over the key shipping lane, whatever the cost.
President Trump announced that he was scrapping a plan he had announced a day earlier, for placing a 20% toll or tariff on all cargos passing through the strait of Hormuz.

The USA-led West have destroyed Ukraine: they deceived Zelensky into this fruitless and needless crisis.
Boris Johnson also truncated a promising peace agreement (on behalf of the USA-led western countries).
The leaders of Ukraine must realize that Ukraine is only being used as a proxy and SEEK PEACE with Russia!!!

BBC "impartial" media in 2023.
Today 1,000 Russians were killed.
3 Ukrainians were injured, one had toothache, one sprained his ankle, the 3rd man had stomach ache.
The media is an embarrassment, journalism is now a total farce.

No Where to Run – No Where to Hide.
2,000# projectiles were fired by the battleship New Jersey against North Viet Nam and the war was being won in the Narrow Part of North Viet Nam where the North Vietnamese travelled at nite with supplies. They were being decimated. These projectiles blew a hole in the ground one hundred and twenty yards wide.
N. Vietnam was about to give up supplying the Viet Cong. The US Congress stopped this inhumane action, and the war was lost.
So just imagine what 2,000# bombs will do to the Ruzzies. Paybacks are a mother. Wagners will be in little pieces. The devastation of these 2,000# bombs may wake Putin up. Drop a few 2,000# bombs on these turds in Bakhmut and see their will to fight after that.
Just where are Ukraine’s supposed 2,000# Bombs????

He Who Starts a War – Loses
Speaking about the Russia-Ukraine war, NATO’s Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg recently told a German weekly newspaper, “We must prepare for the fact that it could take years.” As I have said several times, this war is not like any war before; it is a scrutiny on a new level, a precursor of more scrutinies to come. This scrutiny may have started with Russia and Ukraine, but it will not end there; it will encompass all of Europe, and eventually all of humanity. These scrutinies will drive human society to rebuild itself in a way that helps us achieve life’s essence and purpose.
The current bafflement and indecision that has overcome us is not negative. It is a mandatory state that precedes any progress. There have always been struggles over who will rule—which party or which leader or which ideology. The reflections imposed on us today impel us to determine how we want to relate to our society, to our country, and to humanity, and what will advance us to achieve the state of completion and perfection.
Although at the moment, the struggles are between individuals who are leaders of their countries, people already see that this is not the correct way for humanity to be, at least not in terms of the leaders’ motivations. When leaders’ decisions are driven by considerations of the benefit of the public rather than their own benefit, their decisions will be correct, they will succeed, and they will win everyone’s support. This, by the way, does not pertain to one specific leader but is true of all leaders, as this will be the basic tenet of leadership in the future.
The mutual dependence that seems to burden us today, causing shipment delays, food and energy shortages, and spreading viruses around the world, is really the flip-side of our mutual responsibility. When we learn the message of interconnectedness that it teaches us, we will find that our connections do not hurt, but allow us to live more comfortably and easily, and that our mutual dependence is an invitation to connect our hearts and not only our economies.
The reason that we currently feel as though the world is in crisis is that we are unwilling to accept our interdependence. In the struggle between forced interdependence and reluctance to play by its rule, we are causing everything to shut down. However, if we embrace connection rather than reject it, we will discover its countless benefits compared to having to rely only on ourselves.
We are living through a very special time in history. A pivotal shift is happening, a spiritual transformation. Gradually, we are learning to perceive ourselves not only as individuals, but also as parts of a system that maintain a symbiotic relationship with it: We nourish the system, and the system nourishes us.
Until today, we perceived ourselves as separate beings. This put us in constant struggles against every one and every thing. The survival of the fittest epitomized our attitude towards life.
In the new perception awakening within us, our attitude will change to what anthropologist Brian Hare and research scientist Vanessa Woods refer to as “the survival of the friendliest.” In this approach, those who feel connected to others and act with everyone’s benefit in mind will prosper, and those who cling to the attitude of “each man for himself” will find themselves defeated by life.
Soon, and I hope it will come without too much pain, humanity will come to complete despair. We will feel that we are suffering blows every step of the way, and at every point in our development. When we come to this, people will agree to connect as a last resort. At that point, I really hope that humanity will begin to contemplate how to rise above the ego because otherwise, it will inflict unbearable suffering on all of us.
In the era that is now dawning, we will not be able to impose decisions on others. We will not be able to oppress or force each other into any resolutions that they will not want to make of their own volition. Person against person, country against country, regime against regime, no one will be able to impose one’s views on the other. In the new era, he who starts a war—loses. Rather, everything will be done with connection and reciprocity

'Ukraine officials say" and the Ukraine Secretary of Defense" says : yawn !!! I would not trust anything coming out of Ukraine as far as I can spit ! While no one in the media or in Washington wanting to ask tough questions like why Putin in one years time has not dropped one bomb on Zelenskys home town or why Russian forces allow all this big armor to just waltz into the country with no push back or stoppage etc !!! And again no one asking why ! PS: Although Fox News own Tucker Carlson has said twice on his show that Zelensky has shutdown all the churches in Ukraine and again not a peep from Republicans in Washington on this fact alone ! HMMMMM !!!

Victory ✌️ to western plutocracy and military industrial complex plutocrats ruling the west and who own the media and politicians ✌️.
War means new weapons markets and profits and clearing of old inventory.
Profits means more money 💰 for mansions and super yachts and private private jets and other good things in life.
Victory ✌️ to the profiteers of war ✌️.

Ukraine military I strongly recommend that you raise the white flags 🏳️ and surrender to the Russia military. The clown who’s calling himself president is insane and incompetent and he doesn’t give a dam about you guys. Find the courage to arrest him and turn him over to the Russia military for prosecution, and hopefully he will spend the rest of his life in Siberia . Russia 🇷🇺 is going to destroy every single one of your guys.
You guys are not in the position to even dream about beating Russia 🇷🇺 armies. Don’t let this clown convince you otherwise. I fully support Russia 🇷🇺 special military operations.

This journalist is also a hero!
Transparency, esp through real stories in the words of real people, helps hold the hearts of those in the world who are appalled by Putin's horrendous murders and destruction and thus continues to inspire growing support from around the globe to stop Putin!
People behaving honorably don't need to subdue others by force, they will respect & aid other honorable people voluntarily … but they need to be shown which innocent victims need what help where,
and that's part of what makes honest journalists and those who help them our world's

January 20, 2024 at 3:58 pm
It's tragic that there's not yet enough support to spare Ukraine the heartache of deciding where to focus their force. Unfortunately, I fear that Crimea is a relatively higher priority(?),
iff {if and only if) Putin is simultaneously prevented from connecting the land he's temporarily controlling along Ukraine's southern coast to the land he's temporarily* controlling
in Transnistria!
Footnote:
*I say temporarily because, even though Transnistria's a living example of why it's important to evict invaders before they populate areas illegally forced under their control with sympathizers … annnd before children born under occupation accept the invader as their leader, I believe those who want leaders to comply with International Law shouldn't neglect to emphasize that occupation of a victim country's sovereign lands
(legally- recognized)
does NOT equal legal "annexation"
and thus
remains unresolved.
