  1. Today CNN played s story of a woman who escaped from Mariupol, but her boyfriend was a commander of the Azov Battalion. He sent her messages saying he'd been ordered to fight to the last man, rather than surrender. CNN portrayed this as moving romance story. First the Azov Battalion is one of the most extreme neo-nazi groups with very vocal anti-semetic policies, and one of the reasons Israel did not vote against Russia at the UN. But the 2nd is why does Zelensky want his soldiers to fight to the death instead of surrendering? What purpose is served by sacrificing the last ~1000 soldiers even if they are neo-nazi's? The purpose is it's good propaganda. In the battle of the Donbass the Ukrainians (before the invasion) were previously dug in, getting to ready to attack. But they are now starting to move out of those areas into the towns, villages, seeking human shields. Shouting war crimes all the while. The sacrifice of the ~1000 in Mariupol may backfire in the battle of donbass when Ukrainian soldiers feel they are there just to be killed for propaganda purposes. But ultimately what are the Ukrainians fighting for? They are fighting so that the US can slap crippling sanctions on Russia. They are dying so that at some time in the future, they can allow US nukes on their soil. They are dying to provide propaganda for the information war. And peace talks? The most important of the sanctions is against Russia oil and gas. Zelensky will not be allowed to sign any peace agreement until gas sanctions are in place. Zelensky has as much authority as Asraf Ghani, and Hamid Karzai the two US appointed presicents of Afghanistan.
