Hi Zim,
I'm not going to try to answer all of those questions; most of them I've tried to answer before and most of the the rest are easily searchable. But not searching and not opening your eyes to the POSSIBILITY any of your facts or premises are wrong seems to be where you are stuck?
Anyway, it is an interesting world. Rather disgusting. But fascinating, in a twisted fashion. Kind of like watching one of those nature documentaries where one insect eats another whole, or sometimes in pieces. And the eaten never learn. ;-)
Very soon now Russia will be over the Dnieper. And then Odesa, or maybe Kiev itself, will be eaten. But you will then probably still be talking about Russia's lost tanks. And how Zelensky, the eternal comic 'elected President', now living comfortably in London or maybe Miami, will soon mount an offensive to conquer more of Russia!
