Self delusion is not an uncommon human trait Kai...Man's insecurity is legendary, as is the resultant destruction it causes... Aryan's are blonde and blue eyed! What a f##ken joke...
It is kinda weird. We were on holiday in Greece when I was 12-years old and had all-white hair. All the locals wanted to touch my hair. I felt like a King as everybody was staring at me.
Haha…now that reminds me…My Mother was a nurse working at (the old) Darwin Hospital…She went back to work only a day or two after giving birth to me. One morning she went down to the nursery to see me and I wasn’t there! She looked everywhere and asked everyone where I was! She then looked out of the window and off in the distance was a group of Aboriginal women sitting in a circle under a tree…She could see them passing a bundle around…Hot footing it out there she came across me being passed around the group…I had a big shock of white hair…The Indigenous women thought I was an old man reborn…Something they had never seen before.
Death of any living being is saddening. But what I've heard today is deeply tragic: 43,000 Ukrainian soldiers have lost their lives. May Lord have mercy upon their souls.
Do you really believe the casualty figures on either side? We aren't going to find out exactly or even close to it how many casualties of all kinds there are until the war is well and truly finished. To show you how difficult it is, experts still disagree on how many people were hurt or killed in World War 2, and the figures from the Soviet Union are still in dispute, let alone China or Eastern Europe or Yugoslavia. Casualty figures published while the conflict is still going on are always suspect, so don't be fooled
CHERNOBYL, Ukraine — Here in the dirt of one of the world’s most radioactive places, Russian soldiers dug trenches. Ukrainian officials worry they were, in effect, digging their own graves. Thousands of tanks and troops rumbled into the forested Chernobyl exclusion zone in the earliest hours of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February, churning up highly contaminated soil from the site of the 1986 accident that was the world’s worst nuclear disaster. For more than a month, some Russian soldiers bunked in the earth within sight of the massive structure built to contain radiation from the damaged Chernobyl nuclear reactor. A close inspection of their trenches was impossible because even walking on the dirt is dangerous. As the 36th anniversary of the April 26, 1986, disaster approaches and Russia’s invasion continues, it’s clear that Chernobyl – a relic of the Cold War – was never prepared for this. One of the saddest and scariest articles I've ever read.
Indeed, Fake News. Empire of Lies is behind everything. They know exactly that Ukrainians and Russians are very similar if not the same. They don't give a stuff anyways. For them Ukrainians are perfect cannon fodder to weaken Russia. So why not push Ukrainians to die for "Western Democracies". They are perfect scrapyard for obsolete weapons that will be delivered to Ukraine. But, if you investigate the whole game you may find that the real target is Europe. Europe is now just a pile of weakened vasal states deprived from access to energy and raw materials. The EU is not governed from Bruxelless but from 1000 Colonial Farm Road, Langley, Fairfax County, Virginia.
You do realize that is almost double what the Russian defense minister claimed 5 days ago. He only claimed 23,000.
Swan dive into an empty pool again? If the CIA controls Europe, then it is not the target...Duh. If Europe is a pile of weakened vassal states, it is not worth controlling. Let the Russians have it free of charge, so that Russia collapses even faster...Duh. This class, is the reason why you only dive into pools filled with water...It causes brain damage.

Then WW3 is a poor recreation of WW1. In the latter, you have just two belligerent countries (the Austro-Hungarian empire and Serbia) that want to square off. But doing so will bring in a big brother to the fore (Russia.) So a jerk nation (Germany) sees this as an excuse to start the war it has always wanted (against France, UK, and of course Russia.) Well so far Russia is playing the role of Austro-Hungary and the Ukraine is a very strong Serbia. But people think Russia will also double as Germany if the vassals and the US finally decide it's time to dive in. Nah, that won't play out. Russia in my opinion won't go beyond Ukraine. Western Europe and the US won't venture out to save it. Kuwait is one thing, Iraq is another. But massing and travelling more than a thousand miles to liberate something as big as Ukraine, fighting against something even bigger, is not what NATO is geared up for.
The Pentagon is giving Ukraine a secretive new drone that the U.S. Air Force has developed—one that “very nicely” suits the needs of the Ukrainian military, the Pentagon revealed April 21. The U.S. will deliver at least 121 of the new Phoenix Ghost tactical unmanned aerial systems to Ukraine as part of a new $800 million assistance package announced by Pentagon Press Secretary John F. Kirby. But, what is the Phoenix Ghost? “This is a drone that had been in development before the invasion, clearly,” Kirby said during an afternoon press briefing. “The Air Force was working this, and in discussions with the Ukrainians about their requirements, we believed that this particular system would very nicely suit their needs, particularly in eastern Ukraine.” Kirby’s comments mark a slight change from those made by a senior defense official earlier in the day. In a background briefing, the official said the Phoenix Ghost was “rapidly developed by the Air Force, in response, specifically, to Ukrainian requirements.” Kirby said he did not have an exact date for when Phoenix Ghost started development. But given that the Air Force had at least 120 to send from its inventory, “You’re not going to have 120 on your shelves if you just started buying them on the 24th of February,” the day Russia’s invasion of Ukraine began. “What probably wasn’t as well worded as it should have been [is] it was developed for a set of requirements that very closely match what Ukrainians need right now in Donbas,” Kirby said, referring to the eastern region of Ukraine where Russia has focused its attack in recent days. The exact capabilities that Phoenix Ghost will offer to Ukraine are being kept under wraps, as Kirby declined to comment. But he did say the drone is “akin” to the Switchblade drone that the U.S. has already delivered to Ukraine. Switchblades are often referred to as “kamikaze drones” or “loitering munitions” because they are capable of flying over a target before crashing and detonating in a precision strike. Different versions of the Switchblade can fly between 15 and 40 minutes, with a range from 10 to 40 kilometers. The Phoenix Ghost is “designed for tactical operations,” Kirby said. “In other words, largely but not exclusively to attack targets. It, like almost all unmanned aerial systems, of course, has optics. So it can also be used to give you a sight picture of what it’s seeing, of course, but its principal focus is attack.” Kirby later added that the drone is a one-way system, meaning it is not meant to be recovered. Air Force public affairs declined all comment on Phoenix Ghost to Air Force Magazine, referring questions to the Pentagon. An employee of Aevex Aerospace, the California company producing the drone, also declined comment to Air Force Magazine. While the drone is currently being delivered to Ukraine, Kirby said he expected that the Air Force would use it in the future for itself. Since Russia launched its invasion, the Department of Defense has provided $3.4 billion worth of military aid to Ukraine, including another $800 million package in mid-March, followed by another $100 million in early April. Kirby previously said the contents of those packages would be fully delivered by mid-April. In addition to Switchblades and the new Phoenix Ghost, DOD has also provided Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, Javelin anti-tank missiles, Mi-17 helicopters, Humvees, artillery, and millions of rounds of small arms ammunition and grenades, among other items.

Definitely. The article goes through the simple facts why we end all trade with the SU, also train passage or tourism. Oil, coal etc will now be bought elsewhere. Since 2014 the trade had gone down 50%, so it is easier just to Finnish the rest. Also the Russian planes are not allowed enter out air space. Threatening with war has been the same since 1945, so it is the same sh** from Kreml every day practically. This day was coming and now Russia shall reap the poor harvest.
The obsolete weapons from West seem to work quite beautifully. I don't know what Tamino is bubbling about. Was Moskva sank with obsolete weapons? In Youtube several Russian tanks and military vehicles get a straight hit with Javelin or drone marked rocket attacks.
Just a few things we've sent. Here's a look at the weapons the U.S. has committed to the fight thus far at https://www.cnbc.com
So now they also have started getting heavy artillery and 'Katjusha' rocket vehicles.both sides must be tired, but Russian morale is ripped to shreds while Ukraine sees its chances ahead. And they fight for their country.
I happened to read through this topic while half-watching a documentary on Hitler's annexation and conquest of Czechoslovakia. It's weird how many parallels there are in the justifications invoked, though luckily for the Ukranians therevare fewer parallels in terms of military and political events. One note, a Ukranian friend of mine pointed out why the Ukraine has so many 'Russian speakers'. It is exactly the same historical reason why the Scots, Welsh, Irish and Cornish primarily speak English.
Last time I received a survey, most likely the US census in 2000 ?, where the box ask for Race that's exactly what I wrote in :: Human
It appears that the main question is: how fast are Russians in destroying the "gifts". Russians today have destroyed large terminal near Odesa with weapoons from the US. I don,'t know where they' ll send further deliveries when Russia takes Odesa? This is yet another Crusade initiated by Vatican and executed by the usual executioners. Today, it is difficult to be a practicing Catholic. I don't intend to convert, but I doubth intentions of our Holly Church.
