Unconfirmed reports of a massive surrender by Ukrainian forces in Lyman.


Big if true.....




CNN and BBC tomorrow- “Ukraine ends combat mission in Lyman, a massive loss for Putin”

Escalation appears to be in the cards - from NATO's perspective at least.

They are leaving it to the Russians to bury their dead.


They don't even want their killed soldiers back to give them a decent burial.


They'll be hundreds of Ukranian families that think they are sti!! alive. Carnage when they find out the truth Zelensky will have to flee the country.

I've got a delicious Bunnahabhain 30 Year Old lslay Single Malt Whisky that I have been keeping for my 60th.


I'm going to open it and enjoy a wee dram when somebody puts a bullet in Zelensky's skull.



He's slaughtered thousands to massage his own ego.

Goldman Sachs model estimates $11bn of US equities to BUY for month end.
