This is the Friends of History Debating Society. I am Gaius, John Bachelor. I welcome

Germanicus Michael Vlegos. We're in Londinium. It's springtime. The centurians are

pleased. We're pleased. There's news from Rome that there's more trouble

in Dacia, what else? However, we're concentrating on 2,000 years from now because the rumor mill is over extended and we must pull it back in.

The rumor mill this last week, Germanicus, includes rumor that families are preparing to leave Western Ukraine in the face of

rumor a Russian spring offensive,or that the front line that the Ukrainians have constructed quickly is not to hold.

Rumor that there's discord, it's a polite word, between Washington and Ukraine about

negotiation, and rumor that the Russians mean to press on to Kief, not stop. But rumor, the Russian

negotiating position, is as hard now as it was in the beginning. Ukraine is to be demilitarized. It's agreeable that it

joins the EU, but no weaponry, no fortifications, certainly no participation by the political leadership. cert become Russian and be part of the Russian Federation. And there is not to be any

negotiation whatsoever about reparations. No reparations are to be paid by the Russians. They have defended themselves from the

NATO offensive of these last decades. Rumor. What are your rumors, Germanicus? Good evening to you.

Well, I do have one to add, Gaius, and that is that it was admitted by the leader himself, the Fjr Zelensky, that all this time that Ukraine has been telling us,

meaning him and his circle, have been telling us that Ukraine has a million men under arms.

They're now admitting that there are only about 300,000 Ukrainians at the front.

And of course... Ukrainians at the front.

And of course, in any war you're going to have more people who aren't on the front,

supporting the people at the front, than you will have at the front.

But this comes as a complete devastating surprise because

it's literally covering up all of the missing and dead that the Ukrainians haven't

wanted to admit to they haven't wanted to lose their luster with the West and lose money.

They also wanted to save having to pay pensions on many of their soldiers who were dead.
