Ukraine War Day #796: Escape By Drowning

Dear Readers:

Both Russian and Westie press report increasingly on the astounding and increasing number of Ukrainian deserters. For those who wonder where all those men go to, this piece gives a hint where at least some of them go: To the bottom of the Tisza River. The reporter is Alyona Zhilina.

Ukrainian Border Troops

It was the Ukrainian Border service which reported on this particular tragedy. They came across the dead bodies of two men who had drowned while attempting to swim across the Tisza River to Romania.

The bodies were found by border soldiers on routine patrol in the Transcarpathian Region of Ukraine, on the evening of April 27. Due to the high rapids and strong current, the soldiers were not able to pull the bodies out right away, they had to wait until the following morning. They are still trying to confirm the identity of the two men.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. The reporter reminds us that more and more Ukrainian males are trying to flee from the total and forced mobilization imposed by Kiev. Recently Zelensky signed an ukaz whereby young men on achieving the age of 25, are compelled to report for army duty.

It’s sad when ordinary non-evil people die such a senseless death. To cheer us up, I will end my brief post with this silly observation. Is it just me or, after the Russians took the town of Keramik, did the front-line in that area start looking like My Little Pony?

    Interesting fact, Tisa, as its know in the Balkans joins Danube just north of Belgrade. I lived on Danube in 1960’s and water was quite clean. If it carried anything, it was just sand.  I’ve seen Danube a couple of times in last 20 years and all that water carries nowadays is mud that covers everything with it. I can imagine what the source of that is and its not nice.

    Thinking about yesterday’s video funny where Xi asks, on camera, how long is this clown Blinky* going to despoil China with his presence? And the chutzpah of Blinky’s ridiculous request that Chinese leaders commit national seppuku by cutting off trade with Russia. One presumes this is to be done in a manner similar to that of Germany’s self-immolation through the voluntary destruction of gas/oil pipelines, trade-routes and other lifelines of commerce…what chutzpah.

    Now, to be fair to the lizard-like denizens of DC, they betray their country each & every day and inculcate this behavior into the elite “leaders” of DC’s vassal states so, in their reptilian brains it’s not that big of a deal. But…do DC’s “planners” ever consider, even for a moment, how odd it is to ask a leader, outside of DC’s inner circle, to lead his/her nation into the ash-heap of history? For the majority of citizens across the globe, treason is a big deal…enough to get you shot…deservedly. So how is it that these shameless chameleons go to a rival nations leader and not fear for their own worthless lives after such an insulting request? Diplomatic protections should only stretch so far and I’m not sure purposely “talking-shit” to another man should be included in such diplomatic protections.

      No red carpet, no Chinese dignitary…just the icy stares of security-staff and a single Dept. of State employee greet Blinky’s arrival in China.

        Xi Jinping is going to France, Serbia and Hungary next week. We may see 2-3 carpets then. Xi’s alleged plan is to tempt US’s vassals to become China’s vassals.

          Not being a fan of vassalage and having the utmost respect for Hungary, Slovakia and Serbia my hope is that China is on a mission greater than that of vassalage.

          France is a special case, I love the country and dare I say..the people but, the last 30 years of quisling governments leave me quite uncompressed…perhaps Chinese vassalage could be an improvement if the elites are made obsequent enough to understand that standing on your hind legs is far better than kneeling before a golden calf.

          I doubt the Chinese are looking for vassals. Their expressed goal is to avoid participation in all international zero-sum games.

    Yes, it’s a huge pony. If the image hadn’t been cropped you would have seen that a bare-chested Putin is riding it right towards Kiev.

    The figure being bandied about today was that the AFU lost 8,000 dead last week. Instead of the usual 5,000. Obviously, such slaughter has ramifications on the remaining troops.

    But who, me? old Joe and his criminal cohort, in anticipation of turning Speaker Johnson (quite why a bloody rules referee is so powerful is another peculiarity of the USA — everywhere else the Speaker is a house rules procedure nonentity chosen from the ranks of MPs) had already got Floyd Wostin to mass the last of the old US military junk from US depots on Ukraine’s borders — in Poland. The reason being, once it’s in Ukraine, Russia takes it out. Whether it’s smuggled into Odessa on empty grain ships or by rail from Poland, Russia takes it out. So far as I know, the rail line from Poland to Lvov is ruined — so how this US/EU materiel even gets into Ukraine is beyond me, as I’ve said for weeks. Must be some way, I guess.

    Now the US has bought Kazakstan’s old semi-flying old Soviet junk aircraft to send to Zelensky, and Spain had to cough up the last of its military junk too. The US and EU, er, NATO, whatever, are really scratching for crap. They’re down to their underwear. I’m sure Kazakstan will get it in the ear from Russia for being arseholes, much as will Erdogan who decided to buy US LNG replacing some Russian — dinglebunnies both. To whom I always add Modi as a completely non-trustworthy player and racist as well.

    Kharkov is about to have its gonads totally removed, and a new 100,000 man army has been formed led by Lapin the Bunny to also assail the city from the North. Ukraine is, of course, toast. It’s already dark brown, and tending towards black and smoky. Time for anyone with sense to bail out, which is what we’re increasingly witnessing with troops and 24 and a half0year-olds.
