Russia advances steadily, Eu to soon send troops?

 RUSSIA ADVANCES ALL ALONG CONFLICT LINE

DOLLARS WITHOUT AMMO OR SOLDIERS IS USELESS

The fortunes of the Ukrainian army are steadily looking increasingly dim as they are being pressured all along the 600 mile conflict line. Russia is advancing incrementally but at an increasing pace. It seems their strategy is to move forward, then reinforce a defensive line, then move forward. It seems the Russians have abandoned any type of blitzkrieg or shock and awe strategy, just moving forward and grinding down the Ukrainians every day, everywhere.

There are reports that civilians are evacuating out of Karkov and that defensive lines are being built around Kiev. The effort to recruit another 500,000 soldiers by the Ukrainians is becoming very difficult. Sadly, there were some videos out of new Ukrainian recruits who appeared to be both boys and girls much under 18 years old. The average age of the Ukrainian army is estimated at 43 years old with many in their 50's and 60's. Most of the experienced and well trained have either been killed or injured beyond service ability. Kiev has held the remaining elite troops to protect Kiev. 

It is also reported that there are substantial numbers of Polish, U.S., Baltic and French troops already on the ground. It has been verified that a large number of French troops were killed near Karkov. 

Yesterday at a European meeting in Paris there is word that the European countries are contemplating moving troops into western Ukraine. It is interesting that they are not labeling these possible troops as NATO troops. Some believe that this force will be mostly Polish, French and Latvian troops. 

Russia has been clear that it is not interested in occupying all of Ukraine, while it will not give up those oblasts that have voted to become part of Russia, they want a independent, neutral Ukraine. No NATO expansion to the borders of Russia. This has been their position since 2008 and they appear to be willing to go to all out war to have that result. NATO is also adamant that they want to make all of Ukraine a NATO member, with NATO military bases and missiles on the border of Russia. 

The new political strategy in the U.S. is to blame the dire circumstances of Ukraine on Republicans for a lack of money. Money will not buy ammunition that does not exist or soldiers who do not want to die. In the field, it only use is as toilet paper or to line the pockets of those who have the ability to skim off their portion.
