Russia Rains Down Missiles; Lavrov, UN Israel-Palestine; Turkey Blames US/EU Collapse Grain Deal (Alexander Mercouris)

Once again it looks like the Russians have not run out of missiles. Alexander makes a good point about the fact the Russians used their drones and missiles to damage the Ukrainian energy grid, after which it was repaired. This meant there would be repeated attacks which were used to deplete Ukrainian air defenses. The target was not the energy system but the air defense system.

In relation to the entire war and the Ukrainian persistence in playing this attrition game, one has to remember that the war is a neocon idea. The neocons are are allies with Israel. So while the war is targeting Russia, that has supported Syria, they are also not fond of neo Nazis. They would see the neo Nazis, and the supporting population of Ukraine, as entirely expendable. The secondary target of the war for the neocons may well be the Ukrainians themselves. Zelensky may have a similar view at heart about the neo Nazis, but as a puppet he will just do whatever he is told or forced into. One thing that does not help the neo Nazis is their deranged determination to kill Russians. So they are up for the fight, but the process is wiping them out.
