  3. Earlier today, I saw some of the Putin bootlickers trying to do their daily scary talk about nukes.

    I don't want to respond to some of that because it gets repetitive but I will just say in general that one of the things that is missing from that discussion is that Putin is under China's control and influence now. And China does not share Putins lust for a total destruction of the world economy just to settle some Kiev 700 A.D. Prince of Rus bullshit. But by China announcing that they are and fully intend to be Russia's big brother/owner they also know that the US is holding them accountable for Russia's actions if China is propping him up.



    Meanwhile, China does not want sanctions. Ukraine may be the hill that Putin wants to die on but it is not Xi's. He just wants to make his Belt and Road thing work. In addition, the Americans are in talks about putting American nukes in Japan and are telling China that if they don't dial back all the nuke talk over Ukraine that it going to happen. As discussed, Xi has the big communist party meeting coming up in the fall where- if the economy and military things are looking good- he will get the green light for life. The last thing he wants is to go in to that meeting with China's economy and the country in a mess as a result of some messes the Russian pig got him into.

    Just sayin, yes, to all the realities of the Russian nuke threats but Putin needs to watch his arse too. He could mess up bigtime on the conventional war piece but then move to nukes or nuke talk, as discussed, but then his master Xi tells him he can't do that or that he is on his own and cut the russians off from Chinese support. Xi is a butcher too but he does love to keep his economy going.

    Take home message: When you Putin bootlickers spell out what Vlad will do, you have to keep in mind that he is the junior partner/village idiot in a relationship with China now. Think in terms of what Xi will let him do- not just Putin wants to do. Xi is already sweating over economic problems is having over the covid thing, so he is not looking to mix any major Russian pigfest into the mix before the commie party meeting coming up. To be sure, he wants to put his foot in the door to owning russia as a result of Vlad's problems. But that does not mean he wants to blow the foot off.

    It's for their safety. That's a lot of rocks and full soda cans thrown at your head to dodge over a marathon.

    Shot on the Edge: Stugna-P Harvests Russian Tank From Miles Away

    Marines of the 501st Marine Battalion "de-militarize" the Russian army with a Ukrainian-made "Stugna-P" ATGM
    Ukrainian marines once again show that no Russian tank is out of reach of the Ukrainian "Stugna-P" anti-tank guided missile. Video published on the Facebook page of Naval Force Command of Ukrainian Armed Forces shows another tank hit from afar.

    Given the missile's flight duration and the claimed velocity of about 200–220 mph, the missile was presumably launched from 4,600 to 5,000 m away from the tank. Another characteristic of the missile is the effective range of up to 5 km which makes the marines' shot almost a "hit on the edge".

    "Another ruscist T-72 tank was brought into a right condition, that is, into metal scrap. Great job by the 'Stugna-P' calculation squad of the marines!" said the Naval Force Command on Facebook. Here's the footage:

    This is not the sole example of a long-range attack from Ukrainian soldiers. Previously, Defense Express covered a precise 4.5 km shot by the 128th Mountain Assault Brigade servicemen.

    "Stugna-P" is an ATGM of Ukrainian manufacture with a laser-guided system. Find out more details on the capabilities of the missile.

    Read what the rather well qualified jew said there boy. Oh wait...

    ROTFL :) There's a Nato, Azov and Nazi flag in a photo you found online.

    Now you see how the Nazi swastika on the Latvian (maybe) flag does not match the way the fabric is hanging?


    I guess they possibly used Gimp and instead of having a distort tool used some brush shading, also to enhance the red?

    I was a sniper so noticing stuff with my eyes is kind of a thing with me but that's so laughably bad a photoshop at least you gave me a smile!

    You are a hoot. You do propoganda as well as Russian soldiers fight little guy. Thanks for bumping that piece written by a well qualified Jew regarding Azov and Nazis though.
