Ukraine has not been sovereign since 2014 when a US-backed coup toppled the democratically elected president, and unconstitutionally installed an interim government hand picked by the US (Nuland phone call "eff the EU").

Are you in Germany, John? Do you read German? I do, and I'm next door in German speaking Austria.

I note you use the common dodge of questioning the source and not the content. Hillary's emails showed massive corruption and serious mishandling of classified material. The emails were authentic. Who leaked them and published them is not the key, just whether they were real.

Exact same story on the other side for Hunter Biden's laptop. Huge corruption scandal involving Ukraine, where Joe Biden was in charge of US policy after the 2014 coup. Joe Biden in on video bragging about how he coerced Ukraine to fire an Attorney General. An AG that was investigating Burisma, the company where Hunter Biden had a $1,000,000/year no show board job. Do I think Rudy Guliania or the New York Post are awesome? No, but I don't care, as long as the info is factual. And it is.

Lots of civilians die in war. Even the western press, had been noting that the Russians were holding back. That ended at least partially after the Kerch Bridge attack and the Dugin assassination.

Trains in Ukraine (and Europe in general) are electric. It is horrible what is happening to the civilians without power, but there is a direct military objective in taking out the trains that Ukraine needs to ferry weapons, ammunition and troops to and from the front from (mostly) Poland (some Romania).
