If the user knows this. And they aren't using a tablet/mobile device (no hover). The poster is counting on people not knowing, otherwise again why bother covering them up in the message?
On mobile it will still show it, if you place your finger but don't click. I personally never click on anything before seeing the actual
Kissinger named three options for ending the conflict in Ukraine
Russia will win in Ukraine if it keeps the occupied territories where key areas of industry and agriculture are located, this will weaken NATO, Kissinger believes. He also allowed other options for the development of events
The conflict in Ukraine can be resolved in three ways, depending on which one is implemented, NATO will be weakened or strengthened, former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger told The Spatator in an interview.
The first scenario envisages that the Russian troops will remain in their positions by this day, thus, they "will receive 20% of Ukraine and most of the Donbass, the main industrial and agricultural areas and a strip of land along the Black Sea." Kissinger felt that such an option would be a victory for Russia, while the significance of NATO would be "not as decisive" as previously thought.
The second option suggests that Russia will “try to be ousted†from Crimea, the territory that it took control of before the start of the special operation. According to the former US Secretary of State, in this case "there will be a question of war with Russia itself."
According to the third scenario, if Kyiv is able to "keep Russia" and the confrontation line is "pushed" to the borders before the start of the special operation, this will mean the loss of official Moscow, Kissinger believes. He explained that in this case, Ukraine will be rearmed, close ties will be established between it and NATO, or the country itself will become part of the alliance.
According to Kissinger, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky decided to implement the third option. The former US Secretary of State considered that the same scenario would be a "significant achievement" for Western countries, NATO would be further strengthened by the accession of Finland and Sweden, and Ukraine would have "the largest ground forces in Europe."
“For the first time in recent history, Russia will have to face the need to coexist with Europe as a whole, and not with America as the main link in protecting Europe with its nuclear forces,†Kissinger is sure.

Snake island is what Russia would have used to claim a ton of resources. Them giving it up is a sign of their weakness. I think they ran out of people willing to die on the island.
Russia's economy is in trouble. Let's look at some numbers between the USA and Russia, since clueless Putin supporters tell us how the ruble is rising and Russia is doing great.
Stats for USA:
unemployment 3.6%
inflation 8.6%
wage growth 11.5%
Stats for Russia:
unemployment 3.9%
inflation 17.1%
wage growth -7.6%
Russian people still have jobs but they make less than before and with a very high inflation their meager paycheck buys less.

So no time period and no source.
I have no idea what Russia numbers are but I'm curious about your 11.5% above. Got a source?
"WASHINGTON, April 21 (Reuters) - The United States will give Ukraine another $500 million in to help its government continue critical government operations, doubling the $500 million aid pledge by President Joe Biden in March, U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said on Thursday.
The new aid will help Ukraine pay government salaries, pensions and fund social programs necessary to avoid a worsening of the humanitarian crisis caused by Russia's invasion of its southwestern neighbor.
Yellen said the $1 billion in direct aid will require the Biden administration to make a supplemental budget request to Congress and she was committed to asking lawmakers for further help for Ukraine.
"We've got to find ways to meet Ukraine's needs," she said."

Wage growth in the US is not 11.5%. Real income has been declining, meaning wage growth is lower than the inflation rate.
I find it really odd that our government continues to pour in money for Ukraine; including adding money to pensions for them. It's just ridiculous.
We are crushing the Russian military who attacked a neighboring country without real justification. And doing it INSANELY cheaply. Id be perfectly fine dropping a Trillion in there. About 18 months of our military budget. Because long term it removes a threat because they attacked someone.
