Ann: Drilling Update - Copper Sulphides present in Hole 3, page-45

Gee, some here mustn’t watch more than the Channel 9 news. There are other news outlets, mostly foreign, who have people on the ground, even in the trenches, as we speak. Brave souls. Then of course there are independent analysts from numerous organisations across the globe who write/commentate when asked.

But these days in the free speech epoch, many think their entitled opinion must be worthy, or even true, based solely on the fact that their entitled to an opinion.

Well in that case, here’s mine. Hopefully a little more informed.

The invasion began in 2014 when the Crimea (in full) and the two ‘disputed’ territories were also taken (in part). Presently, the Russian backed separatists of the Ukrainian Donetsk and Luhansk regions hold about eastern one third of those regions, so the front line is well within Ukrainian territory. The bulk of the Russian forced are still in Russian territory, but very likely to move into the front line where seperartists and Ukrainians now face off, which just mentioned, is about into the two regions about one third by area.

Russia is most likely too take the entire two regions, so yes, this will become a major conflict. Whether they them push beyond Donetsk and Luhansk is unknown, but most analysts suggest not. But you can never second guess a dictatorial madman, and after his public rant three days ago about how Russia is entitled to all the states once belonging to the old empire, is cringe worthy.

so pray for the best, or hope the same.
