  1. @Felix
    This is the second time you have suggested that I have lied in the past day, and I do grow weary of your distracting tactics to substitute for any foundation of your unfounded comments. I have not even offered a comment on this page anywhere though you claim I have purposely misrepresented, without explanation or defense of your accusation, but do state I should be censored for lying.

    It is a telling testimony of your timid fears and obvious lack of any support of your own ranting that you desire to invoke the age old manner of all totalitarians and imperialists in winning an argument, namely to have your voice be the only legitimate sound to echo within the marketplace of ideas. Perhaps your hero worship should be changed from Trotsky to the Queen of Hearts as you call for the silencing of dissident voices like a spoiled child missing its mothers guidance.

    Indeed, your fear of opposing views is as revealing of your failing premise as is your own inability to articulate a clear defense of your idle speculations. Adam is indeed a very capable researcher as Edgar describes him, and clearly capable of providing a defense for those beliefs his research leads him to accept as valid. His contributions speak of the charity of his nature and provide a inspiration for us all to emulate. His input or that of any other is capable of withstanding or failing to survive an open challenge based upon the persuasive character of the argument to withstand scrutiny, rather than being due to either the charmless insults you are given to spew or your hoped for suppression of alternate views that might provide a greater insight than you are capable or interested in pursuing.

    I do believe such methods as you support are routinely employed on such echo chambers as Facebook and Twitter where the brain addled automatons seem to be a literally captured audience. Hence, if censorship is to be the desired defense of your vapid views, perhaps you will find such tyrannies as these more to your liking.

    I am only a blogger here, but for my part, I do appreciate and welcome an alternate view to challenge my own. A greater understanding is gained by any cerebral challenge, and who would not prefer this. Only, the greater understanding comes from a fair discussion to reveal the merits of any argument, and not due to any low borne tactics of a bullying child as you seem to champion. So, again for my part alone, I would ask that you do stick around and put forth your curious if not clearly supported remonstrances, but do set aside your more autocratic tendencies toward totalitarian tools and invectives. They do not help your arguments and place you in a very poor light, distracting from any merit to be found in the most brilliant and eloquent contributions you may have to offer.

  2. Edgar good let’s see about this source.

    The problem is people are setting up not traceable websites

    And Insider is known to publish from anonymous sources.

    Then it is spread.

    This is the great problem. The stuff is already on the pages of Israpundit. Thus making Israpundit a vehicle for lies.

    This person Adam Dalgliesh should be suspended and a published statement on his history placed on site. The same applies to the person calling himself PELONI! This should be done by the editor as he alone has primary responsibility for lies.

  3. @FELIX-

    I need so no research as I am very computer ignorant. Adam is far better and an excellent researcher, so I’m happy to wait to see what he comes up with. I have no doubt, but that he will dig more deeply. It is an important issue.

    You may have noticed that my comment was conditional. I remarked
    “Assuming this is correct”. And that simply mean that my comment in only of moment-however small- IF the report is correct.

  4. First of all this could well be very fake news and Adam and Edgar should research it’s veracity before doing this.

    Apart from that please say what the implications are.

    You really want Putin removed. As does Bidens stated words of last week.

    It is regime change by America, Britain EU and NATO.

    How disgusting.

    As later they come for Israel. Is that what you want?

  5. Adam you are being very foolish here

    But I do see how his alleged illness could open an avenue to end the ukraine war in a way that preserves Ukrainian independence

    You must realise that the terrific analyst Diana Johnstone simply stated a truth when she said that post the Maidan coup the AMERICANcapitalist state simply took over the Ukraine state.

    We have total evidence of this.

    Please do not try to trick the readers.

    And do your necessary research to prevent you fooling the readers

    The most serious issue possible.

    I USE STRONG LANGUAGE BECAUSE THE ISSUE OF TRUTH IS CRITICAL

  6. This is a completely new twist to an already inolved situation. Putin’s illness. Assuming it is correct, than Putin would do well to resign and allow normalcy to return. Adam is quite right. His suggestions are realistic, and logical, as well as beneficial to stabilty instead of turmoll.

  7. https://www.businessinsider.com/putin-health-cancer-fears-and-baths-in-deer-antler-blood-says-report-2022-4. This article in Business Insider says that Vladimir Putin is suffering from thyroid cancer, and has been for several years. BI relies on information from a Russian language internet newspaper called Proebst.(I don’t know where it is published). According to Business insider and Proebst, Putin has been visited several hundred times at his residence in Sochi (not, apparently in Moscow) who are specialists in thyroid-related illnesses. It is also suspected that he underwent a major operation within the past two years.

    No, I am not rejoicing at the report that Putin is unwell. I don’t want him to die anytime soon. We all have to go some time. But I do see how his alleged illness could open an avenue to end the ukraine war in a way that preserves Ukrainian independence, saves face for everybody including Putin, and permits a gradual restoration of good relations between Russia and the West.

    If they are shrewd, Putin’s colleagues in the government will tactfully suggest to Putin that it is time for him to retire and concentrate on rest and medical treatment.

    Putin’s decision to invade Ukraine was rash and not in Russia’s best interest, in addition to causing immense suffering in Ukraine. The Russian army has been humiliated by the unexpected intensity of the Ukrainian resistance and the depth of anger at Russia by the Western powers. Putin, many people claim, was not expecting such bad consequences for Russia.

    Illness of the thyroad could go a long way towards explaining Putin’s unwise decisions. The thyroid plays a major role in determining people’s mood and behavior. Some thyroad conditions can produce manic, hyperactive behavior in some patients. It is amazing in how many instances a leader’s poor health can adversly affect his judgment and lead him to make reckless decisions that endangere his own country and the world.

    The Russian leadership needs to find a way of removing Putin from office in order to find a way out of the Ukraine debacle, since he is responsible for the debacle. But they canot use this as a justification for requesting his resignation, at least not to his face, without greatly angering him and placing their own lives in jeopardy. On the other hand, asking him to retire (not “resign”) for health reasons would offend him much less, and he might agree.

    In that case, a younger, healthier and more realistic leader could back away from the occupation of Ukraine without losing face, since the invasion would not have been his (or her) idea, and begin the process of restoring relations with the West.

  8. This map exaggerates Russian control in the N. cf https://europe.liveuamap.com/

    RT confirms that the Russians have been redeploying out of the Kyiv area — probably to the E through Belarus, by the looks of it. I read earlier, that the action around Kyiv and other cities was to draw strength from the real action in Donetsk and Lugansk. The Azov Battalion in Mariupol is surrounded.

    In India, 86% to 6% of those polled say Russia will win:
