A routine and seemingly innocent news release photo from the Russian Ministry of Defense, is rapidly becoming quite controversial. It started with the image shown above.
General Gerasimov, the Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Federation (center), giving a briefing about the ongoing Russian "Special Military Operation" in Ukraine. But . . . . . . . on the wall behind the man seated to the left of Gerasimov, is a map.
A map with very interesting new Borders:
Here is a slightly zoomed-in view:
The region you see circled on the image above, and in the lower image, where the red arrows point . . . . show "Russia" as extending all the way to Odessa.
The Graphic below shows Ukraine with areas highlighted in Red as being the "Russia" on the MoD wall map:
So is this a "slip-up" or are we seeing a warning from Russia, showing what Ukraine will be reduced to if Ukraine continues its useless fight?
I don't believe this is a slip-up at all. In my view, Russia is telling everyone how things are going to be.
If Zelensky and his war pals from the collective West, continue their useless fight, Ukraine will be left with no Black Sea coastline. Its access will be solely through the Danube River.
It is long overdue for Ukraine to agree to Russia's terms, and thereby put an end to this war. The West may want otherwise, but there is no hope AT ALL of the West doing anything for or with Ukraine, to prevent this outcome.
Unless, of course, the West enters into direct war with Russia. That would result in World War 3, which will likely go nuclear, within hours.
I say "No thanks." Ukraine wasn't worth this fight to begin with and it's not worth it now.
