Watching Alexander Mercouris is eye opening today. 5 helicopters have been shot down as they have tried to evacuate someone or many very important people from the AZOV controlled steelworks. Now, a Maltese flagged ship has tried to dock at Mariupol and Russia warned it to stop, but it refused so Russia sent a volley of shots across its bow. It has now been boarded and taken to a Russian port where those onboard (Alex believes very highly trained to make this attempt) will be interrogated. 😳 Another bizarre thing is that the ships call sign was. IAMAMANIAC ! Whatever or whoever is in these steelworks is a top priority to get them out or they are hiding something they don’t want the rest world to see.

NATO officials among the Azov battalion could be high ranking (Cloutier is/was a 3-star general, Lt. Gen.). If so, they could implicate whoever gave them orders, which could trace up to heads of state. Who would be complicit in everything the Azovites were involved with, mainly war crimes. To say this would be bad PR is an understatement. Their "cooperation" could be prompted by reminding them that, as foreign military officers, they are not "combatants" as defined under the Geneva convention---and would therefore not have the protection of the Geneva convention. (This was a principle that the Russians used to destroy the International Legion almost to a man.) Turn states evidence or die by firing squad. What to do, what to do?
