Macron working to save face prior to his election back then. I can only assume in the last couple of weeks he's resolved to know their fate.

Obviously I can't cover the war in granular mode, so I look for bigger picture stuff.

Well, then. Does this rise to the level of a good reason for which an extremely diverting religious question, about a constitutional right to kill innocent unborn children in this country, would be raised to divert our attention away from our proxy war against Russia in the Ukraine?

Why would British Mercs be in Syria?

I had not heard of that before.

My guess would be as trainers paid for by the UK for anti Assad forces, which was basically Al Queda in Syria.

How many mercenaries are fighting in the Ukraine? I read one place 40% of Ukrainian forces, which seems incredibly high.

"Why would British Mercs be in Syria?"

They're not really mercenaries. That's just for deniability. It's the Anglosphere projecting power, and they want to be part of it.

The rumors, reports and intriguing mysteries of the pit of Azovstal read like the notes of a suspense thriller.

The desperate attempts last month to extract "someone or someone's" from Mariupol speaks volumes that there a high value targets in the subterranean chambers. The identity of whom when revealed to the world would be a nightmare for NATO.

It appears something major happened at Azovstal today...exactly what is murky. Telegram reports are that the plant was fired upon and more interestingly that Russian troops actually went into Azovstal.

Alexander Mercurios of The Duran was asked in a live Q&A today about what was happening. He only said that he was hearing many things and would not say anything until MoD confirmed it.

Many reports have the Canadian Col already in custody in Moscow.

The American General Cloutier has been off the rumor mill for a few weeks. IF he was in Azvostal... he would have been the highest-ranking US officer there. He would have been a HIGH priority for extraction. Was he on the chopper that was annihilated and now rests in the Sea of Azov? Or as Mark mentioned, there are unconfirmed reports of two American officers being shot within the complex. Perhaps they took their own lives.

There is too much swirling around the hell hole that is Azvostal to not believe that there are high ranking officers or mercenaries with NATO/US employers deep in that pit who are responsible for much of the horror visited upon the innocent civilians of Mariupol.

As far as I am concerned if there are American officers ...they are a disgrace to the uniform and the county they claim to serve. Not that I recognize that country any longer.

That means that they are not considered lawful combatants.
