People are over using the word "genocide" etc.
Alexander Mercouris reports that the UA guys trapped in the steel works are running out of food and water.
That seems strange.
I notice that that the MSM reports that Mariupol has not fallen rather than the steel works have not fallen.

The 40,000 155mm rounds that Uncle Sam plans to send to the Ukraine, which would arm 18 self-propelled howitzers that Uncle Sam plans to send to the Ukraine, can be moved long distance only by rail. Before that happens (or as it happens), Russia will destroy the railroad switches, bridges, or other infrastructure, or rocket or bomb the trains en route.
Next, the 10 counterbattery radar stations that Uncle Sam plans to send, would need highly-trained crews to be effective, and to be integrated within the Ukraine’s existing artillery units.
Problem is, the Ukraine’s existing heavy artillery units are mostly destroyed already. Most of the personnel are dead, deserted, in hospital, in captivity, or (more likely) pinned down somewhere in a bunker in the Donbass, not utilizing their skills.
Training new personnel is not an option—Russia has been bombing or rocketing recruit staging areas, training grounds, etc., killing hundreds and hundreds. It’s gotten so bad that Zelensky has cancelled the spring call-up.
At this point, no one is going to make good use of those radars. It’s like donating tent stakes or lawn chemicals to someone who needs to change the tires on their car.
Next item. Russia has already destroyed over a hundred Ukrainian helicopters, over two-thirds of the fleet. Will sending in another 11 change anything? Very soon, there won’t be any fuel for them, anyway.
Folks, this is not a video game.
The USSR was able to incorporate some Anglo-American hardware and to train army, after army, after army, after army in 1941-1943 (as they were progressively destroyed or partially chewed up), in part because it had a rear area.
The Ukraine has no rear area. Anything can blow up anywhere at any time.
The Ukraine is also just about out of idiots who want to die for Zelensky and the Maidan cult.
They can round up all the men they want, but there’s no more fresh, new, willing manpower that will stand and fight. Whoever is under arms right now, is all there is. There’s no more “bench.”
As I have said more than once, and I said it weeks or even months before the war, it won’t be a “peoples’ war.”
I’m NOT saying the people are all for Russia, but once the Ukrainian army (and some number of yahoo militia who don’t quite reflect or represent the public) is run down, that’s it. The supply of fresh, motivated bodies is very limited.
Of course, the U.S. and its bloc will keep sending more and more stuff, regardless of what happens to the stuff. What else can they do? Their populations don’t want to get involved directly.
The Ukraine will be destroyed… and the Four Horsemen will come to YOU
Recall the 300 million rounds.
300 million rounds is enough to keep the war going (at least as an Afghanistan-style conflict) for several years. As I’ve said, the Ukraine will be totally destroyed.
I have written repeatedly, since the first days of the war, that if Brandon and the Europeans keep pushing Saint Zelensky to fight, and keep arming and escalating and raising the stakes, rather than trying to make a deal…..
…..it will lead to the total destruction of the Ukraine, turning it into a very well-armed, starving Somalia in Europe, with a number of severely under-maintained nuclear power plants—one or more of which will go up into the air, likely sooner than later.
And, as has been established already, the global fertilizer shortage (made much worse by U.S. sanctions on Russia and Belarus) coupled with Ukrainian wheat going offline, means that up to 100 million Africans will need to get off the planet, or at least, leave Africa. It will be a sight. And this is just what we know for sure, so far.
I’m calling it now, the Four Horsemen are coming. This will affect you. Some of my “VIP” readers may think they are immune, living in $1.5 million row houses on Capitol Hill or wherever. You’re not immune. In fact, DC will be the pits.
