Russia & Ukraine

  1. Now maybe, I was referring to the earlier days when the press would report some number that sounded high but meant nothing in the real world. Same with the howitzers. Slovakia sending a dozen or was reported etc. etc. Meanwhile the Russians are bringing in thousands and thousands. All those numbers have or are changing and I am saying that is good.

    Snipers with 20 and 30mm rifel-canons also help with that :) At least that's what my friends in the South have been using. Its all well and good with a team of three with .50 cals or close but the third big man with a 20mm (2.5-4x the joules) is seriously demoralising.

    At least in my experience, the higher IQ team wins against basic grunts. Ukraine is fielding a lot of very well qualified, smart adult men from professional careers against boys

    RT is so much Russian propaganda that Austrian communications authority KommAustria began to enforce the broadcast ban on RT and Sputnik on April 14. According to the Austrian regulator in the field of television and telecommunications (RTR), an amendment to the law on audiovisual media provides for a fine of up to 50 thousand euros in case of violation of EU sanctions in the field of media in Austria. The ban covers the distribution of RT and Sputnik materials on television, radio, the Internet, on streaming platforms, and on social networks.

    RT in Spanish has become a serious issue in South America and ridding the continent of it is I hope from some stuff I have seen, getting some priority now with national governments. They have really put a lot of effort into it using their presence in America and Venezuela/Argentina as a base.

    "
    Colombia, apparently like other South American countries, came under censorship, because when entering YouTube from a search engine with a Colombian IP address and looking for the official RT channels and 'Ahi les va', they disappeared along with all their content.

    YouTube had already made the announcement on March 11 in which it stated that all channels on this platform that were associated with the Russian government would disappear.

    Everything's propaganda of some sort right now. It wouldn't surprise me if the Johnson interview linked above is closest to the truth on many points.

    The interview on Russia Today with Johnson pushing all of Putin's talking points. This video clip is nothing more than Soviet propaganda. Also while including news banners about "Donbass forces approaching victory as fighting focuses on major factory". Someone needs to remind RT that Putin is no longer attempting to take the factory.

  9. The RT shill in that video is another clown who points out that the U.S. got into more aggressive and forward-positioned training exercises "in the last several years" while conveniently leaving out the fact that Nato did that in response to the seizure of Crimea and movement into the donbas and active fighting there.

    Just more Tokyo Rose shit from another disgruntled CIA agent that probably did not get the promotion he wanted or was caught watching porn on his CIA computer and was moved out. I know that he was higher up, but that just makes it all the more likely that he got ousted on some DC flap or shooting his mouth off. DC is filled with retired three-letter agency types that either become media "experts". What an embarassment to appear on RT as a former CIA agent. Or should that be "current FSB agent?" Let the viewers decide.

    That was the Mariupol steel plant.
