   My first objective here is the subject concerning the Russian stated purpose   
   for this operation: Kiev refuses to recognize Crimea as Russian and the   
   Donbass republics as independent.   
   Odessa or the entire Black Sea coast as the stated objective does not match   
   this.     
   Is someone not telling the truth here?   
   Or is it that this little bit of "intelligence" is being played well out of   
   proportion to impress the minds of the masses, who are easily swayed by viral   
   popular or unpopular very uncommon tweets   
   Officially, we need to go by the stated objectives of Moscow for peace.   
   Perhaps any extra territory occupied by the conflict is a negotiable   
   bargaining chip.  I am guessing here, of course, as is the rest of the West.   
      
   The second objective here is the allegation concerning any Ruatssian policy   
   concerning  the execution of prisoners of war. Admittedly my own exposure to   
   the allegation does not absolutely refer to the execution of prisoners. As a   
   jury member and from    
   what I have heard from the Western media, it could refer to the separation of   
   detained persons into two groups where the prisoners of war are virtually   
   separated from their relatives as long as this forever war between Russia and   
   the US drags out.  Or it    
   is a rogue command order or even a staged order.     
   Russia can simply counter by revealing the numbers of prisoners of war that   
   have not been executed.   
   In this case, allegations of any Russian policy concerning the execution of   
   prisoners of war would be one that Moscow would be expected to deny, with some   
   proof of life of existing POW's offered as evidence.   
      
   Am not certain Chinese would be impressed by any conflict of interests that I   
   may have suggested or referred to.   
      
   Am certain also US and Russian intelligence are not reading this public post.   
      
   Do I joke at times, or is that a lie?
