  1. Talk about military experts, General (ret.) Abrams spells out a scenario that puts the Russian effort in doubt. I am an artist living 2,000 kilometers from Kiev and the war seems to be coming closer by the day. What I would like to ask General Abrams is this. If NATO sees that Mariupol is falling into Russian hands, will this be the moment when the NATO shield comes down and ground troops enter the Ukraine along with air and naval support to win back Mariupol? Does General Abrams agree with General (ret.) Petraeus that Mariupol is the Ukraine's Alamo? What I see is that if Mariupol falls, Kiev falls. The Russians have shown a lack of concern for losing soldiers, I remember reading how German commanders were stunned to see Russian commanders sending infantry in to attack German positions in Stalingrad with inferior weapons or no weapons at all. But we all know who won WW II. What we must not do is underestimate the Russians and not to forget that their staunch ally the Chinese are waiting on the sidelines. Here is how I see things going. I think we will see a surprising boost in morale in the Russian effort to make the land corridor from Crimea to the Donbas region happen. They will be hours from taking control of Mariupol when a decision from NATO allows the shield to come down and NATO troops to be deployed in Ukraine. A no-fly-zone will be set up and a naval blockade will pummel Russian destroyers blocking the Ukraine's access to the black sea and Mariupol will be back in Ukrainian hands. The one downside is that of course this will start WW III in earnest. Strange as it may sound, on this side of the pond at least, military strategists are starting to speak openly as well as some politicians that the NATO shield gives Putin the right to annihilate civilians in impunity. Going after him and risking WW III is the only way the west will survive according to some in the military and political fields. This means things are going to be ramping up to a continental conflagration, but honestly, it may just be the only way to get through this. Because we can see that the Russian government has their vision on how things will turn out and it's totally opposed to ours. Be safe--
