    Fun fact: Russians would be speaking German if it wasn’t for American supplies through the Lend Lease Act.

  2. You are somewhat correct. We never came close to bringing our full military might in Vietnam, but we did devastate the countryside and cities. It too was a war about money and power, just like Ukraine and hod nothing to do with the propaganda about fighting for "freedom" which is always a bullshit dogwhistle for those that support the war machine. Russia can't win but they won't lose much either. When the dust settles they will be seen as another bullshit superpower that ain't so powerful anymore just like our own pussified country. The powers that be will have made their money, solidified their idiot political base, and the world will keep spinning until the next fabricated threat.

    According to Howard Zinn we dropped more ordinance on Vietnam and Cambodia than we dropped on Germany in all of WWII.

    Extremely simplistic approach.
    Let's say Ukraine already lost no matter who wins Russia or NATO. As Ukraine just being used
    And military part is only small part of this war
    If NATOwins they get their unchecked money printing back and that's the only thing that matters in this war and why this war happening

    Any comparision to Vietnam is not relevant at all

    I don't agree with this statement either. It is unclear to me what the real reason for Americans being in Vietnam was, though the official reason is well known. Most Americans don't know that the U.S. paid for nearly all of the French war in Vietnam following WWII . It is a fact that Indochina was an important source of natural rubber, tin and agricultural products. We know that today Vietnam has the third largest proven oil reserves in Asia. Off shore oil was known there by at least 1975 but my suspicion is that the Americans knew about oil reserves there prior to 1975. So I don't dismiss your contention that the Vietnam War was about "Money and Power". But I don't agree that that is what the Ukraine war is about, despite the rich resources of the Ukraine.

    Quite some explosion on Snake Island.
    The video shows the work of the Bayraktar TB2 UAV on a Russian Mi-8 medium twin-turbine helicopter.

  9. Analytical note by Leonid Reshetnikov, Lieutenant General of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (retired)

    5.jpg


    (Leonid Petrovich Reshetnikov (Russian: Leonid Petrovich Решетников; (born 6 February 1947, Potsdam) is a Soviet and Russian secret service agent, Lieutenant-General of Foreign Intelligence Service, director of the Russian Institute for Strategic Studies (29 April 2009 – 4 January 2017). Candidate of Historical Sciences)

    I consider it extremely vile to accuse our army of the lack of communication systems and not inform ordinary civilians that our units on the territory of the former Ukrainian SSR operate with a three-or four-fold superiority of the enemy in manpower and with the full support of the enemy with all the intelligence and radio power of NATO.

    Any android, any iPhone is tapped continuously. Anyone: Facebook, WhatsApp and other Vibers continuously transmit information, all this is processed with all the power of artificial intelligence systems and creates a map for targeting in real time. And this is even if the Russian army is all on encrypted communication channels — where to put the population?

    AWACS long - range surveillance aircraft are continuously hovering over Romania and Poland NATO with experienced crews, US intelligence satellites are constantly in the sky. Let me remind you that we allocated $2.5 billion a year for our Roscosmos budget, NASA's civilian budget is $25 billion, and SpaceX's civilian budget alone is equal to Roscosmos's-and this is not counting tens of billions of dollars annually for the entire system of control of the entire planet that the United States is deploying.

    The United States does not just see our troops on the ground, they see our aircraft, drones, study radar fields, estimate the time of approach of Calibres, they constantly issue target designations to Ukrainian generals online from the operation control center in Poland. Is this all due to the former Ukrainian SSR?

    This is where the accuracy of the Ukrainian artillery noted by our troops comes from, this is where the Point-U missile brigades know exactly where and how to move, exactly what time to launch and how much time they have to get out of position. That's how the Ukrainian Nazis know where the gaps in the rear of our columns are. It's not their eyes and brains. These are the eyes and brains of NATO.

    Ukronazis are just free guided zombies. And the Ukrainian army is a remote-controlled zombie organism. Naturally, the use of hypersonic Daggers and supersonic Onyx dramatically reduced the ability to hide the most sensitive elements of this remotely controlled Nazi zombie organism. I repeat, the owners of this remote-controlled Nazi zombie organism desperately need to know what new RTR and electronic warfare (electronic intelligence and electronic warfare) technologies we have.

    Therefore, for the future victories of our Russian army, it is vital to hide these novelties. The fact that in these conditions our small troops have zeroed out the sky, removed the Holy Bayraktars factor from the map and are smashing up the ukrovermakht is an outstanding hard work of our military and rear. This is not an ISIS bioreactor to destroy in Syria, no.There has never been such a war before. Textbooks for military academies around the world are being written on the tactics and strategy of this war.

    Once again: the Russian army is smashing a Nazi zombie organism that is fully integrated with the eyes and brain of NATO. On the ground and in the sky, the Russian army is smashing Ukrainian zombies, brainwashed for 30 years of propaganda. Under the conditions of a total machine of military and psychological terror, working for the West and raising Nazi zombies.

    But after all, the Russians have outstanding stability in battles. Look to the future and tell me where else the maniacs of the United States and the European Union can find such infantry. How many "best commandos in the world" left to fight after Yavorovskaya calibration?


    Lieutenant-General of the SVR, Reshetnikov L. P.

  10. The general looks trans to me.

    Anyway. Before the invasion when the troops were positioning around Kyiv and elsewhere and other troops arriving, all the cell phone, social media traffic was being intercepted and conversations between the soldiers were being posted online. Does General Trans have an explanation as to why the military geniuses did not think it would continue to be an issue into the invasion unless it was snuffed out fast?

    The real story is they are still using regular cell phone communication between units because the russian communication systems probably shit the bed a week into the war like everything else.

    Not the sharpest tools in the shed, the Russians.
