News from Putin's peace keeping forces:
Ukrainians defending island defiant before dying
By Chris Zappone
Audio has captured the moment a Russian warship told Ukraine border
guards defending an island in the Black Sea to surrender or be fired on.
They responded: “Go f--- yourself” before the Russians fired upon them.

"According to the navy the soldiers on the island repelled two attacks
by Russian forces but in the end were forced to surrender "due to the
lack of ammunition."
The statement added that Russian attackers have completely destroyed the island's infrastructure, including lighthouses, towers and antennas.
Russian state media also showed the arrival of the Ukrainian soldiers in Sevastopol, Crimea where they are being held."

"Donald Trump says a few of the Russian peacekeeping tanks rolling into
Ukraine would be welcomed on the southern border, where the former
president claims 10 million illegal immigrants are “bum-rushing” the US.
“And he’s [Vladimir Putin] gonna go in and be a peacekeeper. That’s the strongest peace force … We could use that on our southern border,” Mr
Trump said. “There were more army tanks than I’ve ever seen. They’re gonna keep peace all right.”
In a lengthy interview with The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show from
Mar-a-Lago, the former president lamented the lack of a strong military presence on the border.
“Millions of people, not two million or one million, like they say. I
say 10 million. Millions of people are bum-rushing our country,” Mr
Trump said.
“And many of these people come from prisons. They’re being let out. Countries — 127 countries now they have. But many of these countries are emptying their prisons like we’re a dumping ground right into our country.”
Mr Trump added that he’d rather see Joe Biden redirect the US troops
sent to eastern Europe in support Nato back to the US, where they could
protect the southern border with Mexico from illegal immigration.
“In three weeks, you could finish it. They won’t even let Texas use our military, which is all bought, sitting there waiting to be put up. It
could have been erected in less than three weeks,”’ he said with a pivot
to the border wall.
“I’d rather see our southern border protected. But I don’t like the idea he’s sending a small number of troops [to Europe]. It’s a joke compared
to what the other side does,” he said, in an apparent reference to the 150,000 Russian troops waiting on the doormat of Ukraine."
Yeah, that will show Putin. We can show our strength by pulling
troops out of Europe and attacking Mexico.
