1. Reuters: Ukrainian force begins evacuating from last Mariupol stronghold

KYIV/MARIUPOL, Ukraine, May 16 (Reuters) – Troops holed up in the last Ukrainian stronghold in the besieged port of Mariupol began evacuating on Monday, appearing to cede control of the once prosperous city to Russia after months of bombardment.

Ukraine’s deputy defence minister said 53 injured troops from the Azovstal steelworks were taken to a hospital in the Russian-controlled town of Novoazovsk, some 32 kilometres (20 miles) to the east.

Another 211 people were taken to the town of Olenivka, in an area controlled by Russian-backed separatists, Deputy Defence Minister Anna Malyar said. All of the evacuees will be subject to a potential prisoner exchange with Russia, she added.

Deputy Defence Minister Hanna Maliar said 53 badly wounded soldiers were taken to the town of Novoazovsk, held by Russian-backed rebels.

She said another 211 were evacuated using a humanitarian corridor to Olenivka – also a rebel-held town.

Russia earlier said a deal had been reached to evacuate the injured troops.

3. Newsweek: Russia Opens Fire On Israeli Jets Over Syria—Report

Russian forces may have opened fire at Israel’s jets in Syria, according to a report.

The alleged attack is believed to have taken place in Syria on Friday last week, according to Israel’s Channel 13 news.

Newsweek has not been able to independently verify whether the attack did take place and whether it was the act of Russian forces.

The unsourced report alleges that Russia used its S-300 anti-aircraft missiles as the Israeli jets attacked targets in Northwestern Syria.

We will add reports as they come in and meet some kind of impossible to define standard for what is worthy of reporting on this conflict. Please do check the comments under this post as the day progresses though.

Moscow To Strengthen Its Troops On Border With Finland Should NATO Deploy Offensive Arms

MOSCOW (UrduPoint News / Sputnik – 15th May, 2022) Moscow will strengthen its military presence on the Russian-Finnish border in the event of Helsinki joining NATO and the alliance deploying striking weapons on its territory, Viktor Bondarev, the chair of the Federation Council Committee on Defense and Security, said Sunday.

 

“We will strengthen the border, increase the presence of the Russian troops on the border if offensive, striking weapons of NATO are deployed in Finland, in our immediate vicinity,” Bondarev said on Telegram.

Finland announced the official decision to join NATO earlier on Sunday. The decision will be discussed in the Finnish parliament on Monday, and the voting is expected to be held on Tuesday.

The decision was followed by Sweden, which is expected to officially apply for NATO membership together with Finland.

“This is one of those wars you want both sides to lose”. -US General when asked about an Iran-Iraq war.

1. Senator Richard Black: The US is using the Ukraine as proxies

“We are using the Ukrainians for the time being as proxies. We potentially face an economic cataclysm in the US. Inflation is inevitable. We have this long-running move towards the border of Russia. The 'Boys from Davos' plot out the future of the world.” — Senator Richard Black pic.twitter.com/krozY8UplJ

UPDATE: I have just been informed that this particular senator is a paid propaganda organ of the Russian Government via RT.

(I so regret even TRYING to understand what is going on over there. All I know is, the exact same people who have been pushing Covid, lock downs, WEF communist take over of the West, mandatory injections with experimental mRNA gene therapy and a host of other atrocities, are four square with Ukraine. And that Zelenskyy claims that Trudeau was his inspiration to get into politics. And that he, like Trudeau, have nearly no accomplishments or reason to be leaders. And that The most corrupt and horrifying people in the US government like Biden and his son, have deep ties with China and the Ukrainian government in ways that benefit neither people of the US, Canada or the Ukraine. So what this Senator said made sense initially. I guess in the end, like the General said during an Iran-Iraq conflict, “This is one of those wars you hope both sides lose”.

Please see the reader’s Links for Today and yesterday for a LOT of material on this conflict, and check the comments under this post as the evening progresses. Also, Tucker Carlson’s opening monologue tonight is on the US Ukraine connection and is absolutely brilliant.

1. Capabilities of the US Warthog

A number of Warthogs spotted at a Canadian base in Gander:

But the argument goes like this:

Unusual to order fighter jets that only fly over uncontested ground. I thought we called those 747s.

2. This interview with combat veteran and Colonel, Richard H. Black is pretty harsh. Listen very carefully and try and determine what is fact and what is the product of his world view. But I can say for a fact that most or all of what he is saying about Syria is true, and even incomplete. We here at Vlad, published videos  of the nascent Islamic State, then called some other thing, Al Nusra Front or whatnot, but it was AQ in all but name, testing chemical weapons on rabbits. The US then claimed chemical weapons attacks had been done by Al Assad and used it as their Casus Beli to go in to Syria.

He also understands the Islamic religious rules and its role in the Syrian and other conflicts.

This video below, we had translated from Bulgarian TV and subtitled when Obama was in and when it was topical. EVERY platform, including Minds.com and Bitchute took it down well within an hour. For some reason it seems to be allowed to remain online now. But let me be clear, back in Obama’s day, if the US government (I assume it was they who censored this) decided they did not want you to know something, you were not going to be allowed to have any evidence of what you knew, or get to know it at all.

3. BBC: US president en absentia Joe Biden doubles down on his accusations that Russia is committing genocide in Ukraine

Trudeau agrees with Biden about Russian Genocide in Ukraine. As repugnant as Trudeau is, he is right about one thing. There is the use of rape and sexual slavery being used against the women of the Ukraine. This is true. but what Trudeau does not say, and what actually makes him so very repugnant, is that this is being committed by Chechen muslims.

Please post all related links and news to the comments under this post on the subject. More will be included in the post if there is any chance of coroborating the factualness of the item.

Remember, this is most certainly “the fog of war”, where determining narratives from reality is a near insurmountable feat. Each news event which comes our way is often or nearly always followed by a debunking post showing why its not as it appears, or is utterly untrue. It’s also difficult to know if the debunking posts are true as well. Much like Western reality as a whole since narratives were created by the left in order to force outcomes that are deleterious to Greek thought and damaging to Western civilization.

Remember, with the left, the point is never the point, and the revolution is ALWAYS the point.

That one statement explains everything from Feminism through abortion to global warming, acid rain, Racism narratives, Islamic immigration, multiculturalism, and any narrative that forces us to move the culture to the left in favour of a global government and the destruction of the Nation-State.

Worth keeping that in mind. At this point, any information on the Russia V Ukraine war, may as well be “for entertainment purposes only”. But we must persevere in the hope that some understanding comes from competing victim narratives and ‘just cause’ narratives as well.

3. First Russian Su-35S Flanker-E Multirole Fighter Confirmed Destroyed In Ukraine

This Su-35S was possibly on a SEAD mission. Note what appears to be the remnants of a Kh-31P-series anti-radiation missile (ARM) under the wing. This means it might have been tasked with a SEAD (Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses) mission, to disable the enemy ground-based air defense systems radars.
