To get a better context for the catastrophic and dangerous war zone that is Ukraine, yesterday European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Commission Vice President Josep Borrell Fontelles visited President Zelenskyy in Kyiv {link}. The primary purpose of the meeting was to affirm the intent of the EU to accept Zelenskyy into the Union.
Earlier today, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson also went into the war zone, toured the extreme chaos and battleground, and met with Zelenskyy (video below).
(Via MSM) – The UK is to send 120 armored vehicles and new anti-ship missile systems to Ukraine, Downing Street announced Saturday, after Prime Minister Boris Johnson paid an in-person visit to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Johnson and Austria’s Chancellor Karl Nehammer made separate visits to Zelensky on Saturday, the latest in a string of leaders to travel to the country during the ongoing Russian invasion.
Johnson posted on Twitter that his visit to Kyiv was “a show of our unwavering support for the people of Ukraine” and announced a new package of financial and military aid.
“Ukraine has defied the odds and pushed back Russian forces from the gates of Kyiv, achieving the greatest feat of arms of the 21st century,” the UK PM said in a statement.
He praised Zelensky’s “resolute leadership” and the “invincible heroism and courage of the Ukrainian people,” adding that the UK “stands unwaveringly with them in this ongoing fight … we are in it for the long run.” Later in his nightly address posted on social media, Zelensky thanked the UK and Johnson.

As seen in video promoted by the NATO alliance, Johnson and Zelenskyy ignored the threat of bombs, missiles and artillery that could be raining down upon them, and bravely walked without flak jackets, vests or even helmets despite the chaos.
Unfortunately, the cinematography produced by the western NATO alliance failed to capture the smell of burning diesel fuel from the aftermath of hundreds of tanks and weeks of street-to-street urban warfare. However, it does appear that Johnson was prepared for hand-to-hand combat if any angry shopkeeper stepped out of line. Courage is, as they say, contagious. Footage below:
The Ukrainians have the courage of a lion.
President @ZelenskyyUa has given the roar of that lion.
The UK stands unwaveringly with the people of Ukraine.

I have a friend living down Houston.
She got sick and was told by her doctor that she had “bird flu.”
That struck me as odd.
Do we already have tests that detect bird flu?

1,610 civilians killed so far in the Ukraine. How many did Bush kill in the opening weeks of Desert Storm?
Not that many civilians were killed the first week as the first 6 weeks took out mostly tanks, radar and communications. Once our tanks move in, there was little opposition until just outside of Bagdhad and that took a week. This war used very accurate guided weapons which kept civilian deaths to a minimum. There were incidents such as the Command and Control armored bunker that allowed civilians in at night and the restaurant where Saddam was reported eating at.
I don’t believe US military body counts. I remember the Pentagon fake numbers back in Vietnam.
This source says 6,700 killed during Shock and Awe – opening salvo of Desert Storm.

The Guardian says 7,000 killed by US military actions in the opening months, which is confirmed by this thread.

Sorry, can’t use wikipedia to confirm anything.
sorry, I watched the early episodes of the Shock and Awe show. Entire sections of Baghdad were destroyed.
Much colatteral damage, no attempt at a humanitarian escape corridor.
How many did he kill on 9-11? 😡
over 8,000
What’s with the music on Johnson’s twitter post? So Hollywood. All scripted. If it were dangerous he would not have gone. First victim in war? Truth.
Europe never learns.
Boris is there to see just how much devastating information about the Globalist Party of Davos Russia has captured. It’s as simple as that.
Davos delende est.
Funny how silent these advocates for saving the Ukraine were when Georgia got half their country invaded and occupied by Russia.
Guess only fascist governments are deemed worthy of saving by the modern DC & EU media/political classes.
The globalists aren’t buying children and laundering money through Georgia.
And how about that fuss they kicked up when the USSR was routinely carpet bombing hamlets in Afghanistan, killing an estimated 2 million Afghanis in the process. Why, my eardrums barely survived the din
Weird. The first major war crime-ish shelling after 6 weeks of war occurs in Lukhansk an area of Eastern Ukraine that is 40% Russian. Maybe Putin was unaware of this … Perhaps Russia wanted to make up for that weak assed war crime where they leveled a “maternity hospital” but only killed 2 people. I guess they forget how rugged Slavic newborns really are
Another WEF Hoax right up there with the CVirus Scam….
In a sane world, there would be peace negotiators, not chicken hawks trying to keep this going as a deflection from their destruction of Western Civilization
Look at his parent’s “Conservative credentials”. For those who do not know, Columbia U is where the satanic Cultural Marxists from Germany set up their operations to destroy Heritage America

Colkitto, you caused me to verify on Wiki that Eric Holder was a Columbia U and Columbia Law grad. While there, I noted that Eric Holder spent 12 years working at the DOJ’s public integrity division. Several years later, he was one of three members of a team, and likely the strongest, whose task it was to choose a VP running mate for Obama.
How do you like that? A guy who spent 12 years immersed in integrity issues for the federal government picked one of the most corrupt persons in politics to be BHO’s VP.
That should remove any doubt that Eric Holder is an America-hating Marxist.
Nice catch Sherri. You are a good poster on here. Ty for the add on.
Too bad the National Socialists did not get to liquidate these luciferians before they fled Germany

Thanks.
This whole Ukrainian ‘war’ situation is starting to smell like more of a scripted fabrication than Biden’s ‘White House’ studio / stage events.
Are we watching a movie?
Yes, a snuff film.
The Devil shaking hands with one of his minions.
Although I get it is a photop I just know that President Trump would have flown there also, assessed the situation, called for a cease fire then flown to Geneva to meet with Putin and Zelensky and hammered out a deal to stop the war, not try to exploit it for political cover like the Biden administration. Then they would have to give President Trump the Nobel Peace Prize.
Next world hotspot to flare up? The Middle East. Thanks Biden.
Would love to see the Brits fight the Russians…Go Get’em Boris….and you guy supply all the money for it…

I don’t trust Redfield.
“People like Mrs Thatcher – state-educated, lower-middle-class, provincial, female – were not supposed to question the 1945 state-socialist settlement. To its architects, such people were of no account. They were neither poor enough to attract romantic sympathy, nor grand enough to be entitled to power. They were expected to know their place.”–Charles Moore
Sounds awfully familiar, doesn’t it? That’s what they said about Donald from Queens, too.
Deep State-Hireling Zelensky says he’s Winston Churchill and Truth Minister Boris Johnson says he’s the new Thatcher.
Oh, hell no. That kind of lying and self-puffery must not go unpunished. “Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren’t,” said Mrs. Thatcher. And if you have to tell people you are a historical giant, you aren’t one of those, either.
“We have not successfully rolled back the frontiers of the state in Britain, only to see them re-imposed at a European level with a European super-state exercising a new dominance from Brussels.”

Outstanding information, thank you
Zelensky and his advisers would do well to study Mannerheim. Closely.
Lara Logan did a nine minute interview on OAN news Network. You can see it on Rumble and she gives a fascinating background on the Ukraine situation. She warns that everything that we are being told is a lie or a gross distortion.

Rumble.com is Free Speech Central these days.
If you were going to make a dramatic video of “war-torn” ukriaine then you woud actually show the war-torn part.
so where is it?
what was the guided tour of?

Basically she agrees with Jacques Baud.
“ Johnson and Zelenskyy ignored the threat of bombs, missiles and artillery that could be raining down upon them, and bravely walked without flak jackets, vests or even helmets despite the chaos.”
There is small risk that Russia could target either man.
Their artillery lacks reach, their Orlan-10 drone lacks range, their cruise missiles are inaccurate and unreliable, their remaining inventory of bombs would have to be delivered by aircraft.
There are many anti aircraft batteries in Kiev and elsewhere.
Kiev decisively repulsed the northern axis of Russia’s invasion in early March and the area is secure from attack.
