Instead of Israel attacking Russians directly, Israel has tricked Ukrainian soldiers into doing the fighting and dying for them. American taxpayers have been duped into happily paying for it. Why? Because the motto of the Israeli Mossad is: "By way of deception thou shall do war". First, Israel had hired an Al-Qaeda mercenary army to conquer Israel's neighbor Syria for them. But in 2013 Russia helped to protect Syria from the bully Israel. So in 2014 agents of Israel in our USA government arranged for a military coup in Ukraine to overthrow the pro-Russian government in Ukraine. Agents of Israel also monopolize Google, KZread, and the main stream media thereby making it as easy as taking candy from a baby to fool everyone. The invasion of Iraq was not so long ago, yet no one seems to remember that it was Israel who tricked the USA into conquering Iraq for the benefit of Israel using the lie of "weapons of mass destruction". The gullible sheep just don't get it, and that's why this simple trick works every time.

It's simply untrue that they're holding onto Bakhmut out of stubbornness and sunk cost. That's a cheap human-interest angle that undermines confidence in Ukraine's strategic thinking. Foreign military analysts such as ISW and Michael Kofman say that Bakhmut is a sound strategy: to defend in a favorable location while elsewhere preparing an offensive.

Second, a few dozen flights out of Chisinau today with a land, board, wheels up turn-around of about 20 minutes. Again, I watched it personally on flight radar. This is exceptional because Moldova is also without air traffic for weeks at a time.
