It is good that you post this gringo. The crawling adulation of the current Ukrainian regime, especially in the "liberal" press is nauseating. Ukrainian nationalism is a disgusting ideology, rooted in fascism. The cult of Bandera is beyond sick, and the idea that the Azov Battalion are defenders of liberal democracy is beyond ludicrous. The BBC and the Guardian hiding Nazi insignia in their images of "brave Ukranians" has been sickening. It is as bad as the eulogising of those "freedom fighting mujahidin" scumbags in Afghanistan, who with CIA backing defeated the only decent society that the people there experienced. Look where Afghanistan is now, compared to where it was in the 1970s.
It's last days in the bunkers stuff from NATO nazis now. They are falling apart whilst attempting to project unity. Hungary have just had a huge purge of military officers. DeNATOfication it is being referred to as. There is a lot of "chatter" around this. Big things are brewing. Hungarian article below. Use google translate.

Some people talk about political cleansing
None of those we interviewed accepted the statement by name, and it was not easy to speak to some even anonymously. "I'll be fired tomorrow if I speak out," one of them said.
Everyone emphasized that they are far from having a complete view of the processes, so the emerging picture also shows in our article what explanations for the downsizing are circulating in military circles, it may become clearer later how close to the truth they are.
The sources speaking to us in the background can basically be divided into two groups. One group includes those who have heard that a primarily political purge is taking place. For them, such a downsizing during the large-scale war taking place next door is unjustified, they do not understand why the organic organizational change, which otherwise characterizes the national defense, is inappropriate. After all, obviously young people come here too, and older people leave the staff, even without a wave of layoffs.
There were those who heard that some people were called home from a NATO mission or mission abroad to inform them that they were no longer needed, but they did not yet know who would take their place. We also hear about high-ranking soldiers who "have been building themselves up for 20-30 years" and now they are "white-faced" waiting for their turn. It is also heard that it is easy to "get on the list of suspects" who has worked for a long time in a NATO command or in the foreign service. Previously, in connection with the firings, the former Secretary of State for National Defense Ágnes Vadai from DK also referred to "NATO exemption".
Also of note is piece quoted below;
Journalists from Hungary report that the Kiev regime is conducting ethnic cleansing by forcibly mobilizing Hungarians — Mass mobilization of Hungarians has begun in the Transcarpathian region of Ukraine.
Over the past few days, military enlistment offices have been on duty in public places, and also conducted house-to-house and apartment-by-apartment rounds with summonses in the cities of Beregovo,Vinogradov and in the village of Surte.These Settlements are places of compact residence for the Hungarian diaspora, whose share of the local population is 30-50%. Orban has cleared out the military of potential coup plotters a la Turkey, it appears. It would not be surprising to see a future Hungarian move into Transcarpathia. There are many examples on social media of Ukrainians being forcefully conscripted-grabbed off the street and bundled into vans.
The longer that this drags on, contrary to western media and governments propaganda talking points, NATO weakness is exposed and Russian strength emphasised. The long war suits Russia far more than NATO.
Instead of attacking and taking land, as NATO planned for and expected, Russia have dragged NATO into WW2 style trench warfare. A war of attrition on Russia's terms where they are firing 6 times more artillery shells everyday than the Ukrainians. Losses of manpower also favours Russia massively- something like 8-1. NATO have no answer. Pour as many arms in as they want. Russia has way more to pour in yet. As Putin said a month or so back; "We haven't even started yet"
Turkiye, Hungary. The pathetic "Talinn nine" agreement exposing the disunity in NATO. The Talinn 9 probably some sort of pathetic attempt by the UK, who head it, to show some sort of updated "Coalition of the willing". No Germany, France, Italy. The cracks are becoming fissures. More like a pack of yapping poodles.
